Pro-life means all lives

The fight to protect life should be about much more than abortion. In fact, the fight to protect life should go on long after children are born.

Examining Ilhan Omar

I watched with interest as Democrats targeted freshman Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar—a Muslim who came to America as a Somalian refugee—as the new face of anti-Semitism.

Jussie Smollett’s act of betrayal

For years I’ve opposed the Kenney administration’s soda tax because studies showed such a tax would affect poor people of color disproportionately.
