When Justice Alito was in Rome the other week to partake in the Church’s Jubilee, he noted several cases that have come before the Supreme Court. One allowed parents with religious objections to withdraw their children from classes when storybooks with LGBTQ themes were discussed. There is no question that today the Catholic Church does…

At last the Trump administration is taking action that I approve of. He has issued a memorandum that will in effect remove advertising of prescription drugs on TV, returning to a policy that was in effect until the 1990s. What is the purpose of these ads? The pharmaceuticals industry would say that it’s important that…

In the texts cited by the prosecutors in charging Tyler Robinson for the murder of Charlie Kirk, while he clearly did the deed, which in itself is a radical act, there was nothing in the texts that showed he was motivated by radical, progressive, or leftist thinking.

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. It was hurtful, and so I welcome any discussion that educates the public about anti-semitism and the baseless nature of its “causes.” But the cause of all the tumult today has…

Trump has taken an aggressive stand against any acknowledgment of racism or other society–sanctioned discrimination in our history as well as any efforts to address these issues. In so doing, he has, not surprisingly, done something that damages the future of our country. First of all, for him to deny, by not acknowledging or letting federal government…
