The issue of immigration—actually it’s just illegal immigration—has become a major concern to a majority of Americans. I’m sure that is largely because of Trump’s vilification of illegal immigrants. But immigration has in fact been a major problem for many years, even though most Americans were not concerned about it. It has been a problem…

America has been, for most of its 250 year history, a beacon to the rest of the world. It has been a light of freedom and humanity-regardless its own failings—in a world in which there has been little freedom and humanity. In a world where the 20th century saw the rise of dictators for whom…

There is much talk everywhere about anti-semitism. As a Jew, I experienced anti-semitism in my youth in the statements and actions of everyday people.

In the opening paragraph of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, it wrote, “America is now divided between two opposing forces: woke revolutionaries and those who believe in the ideals of the American revolution,” What a perfect example of fake news. By taking on the mantle of American values and attacking their opponents as destroying those…

A recent article in the New York Times detailed how prevalent Christian prayer and Christian conservative perspective has become in the daily operations of the White House. Trump has elevated the Faith Office to high visibility. And that office has promised, “an ambitious agenda, including ending what it sees as Christian persecution in America and to…

Even before Trump’s actions against DEI, many in the academic community and elsewhere felt for some time that DEI had taken an unintended turn. What was meant to provide support—in jobs, education, grants, and other ways—to those groups who historically and currently have suffered from discrimination, became for others a sign of exclusion because…
