2015 comes to a close as most years do, with barely enough time to look back even as we look ahead. 2015 was, in so many evil ways, the year of terrorism, with murderous strikes by the Islamic State in Paris and by friends of ISIS in San Bernardino. These...

From Obama’s own words, you’d think that everything is on the up and up.

The Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes writes about it here and he joined Bill Bennett on Tuesday...

A Bermuda hotel recently cancelled talks by a scholar defending traditional marriage on the ground that the hotel “is not a venue for anti-diversity discussions.”  So many interesting questions are raised: Since Bermuda has not legalized gay marriage, is it not even a proper topic for discussion?  Is there no...

Raging controversy over Donald Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims entering the United States ignores the most obvious fact about his suggestion: there’s no chance it would ever take effect.

The U.S. Defense Secretary announced that—without exception—all forward combat units would now be equally open to men and women. Mariette Kalinowski writing in the pages of the New York Times declared this to be, “A Victory for Women at War.” It didn’t take long for the logic about what women...

In discussions of the San Bernardino massacre, investigators want to determine at what point, exactly, the killers became “radicalized.” This inappropriate word makes it sound as if the perpetrators developed a disease, or fell under some evil spell—minimizing the extent to which their hideous crimes constituted a series of personal...
