Federal law explicitly prohibits the creation of a federal firearm registry, but the Biden administration is making one anyway. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has collected nearly one billion firearm purchase records. The government has now created a searchable digital database containing 866 million of these transactions, including some 54 million… Continue reading Democrats Pushing Gun Registry as Precursor to Gun Ban

Before, during, and after the Senate stalemate that has bottled up Democrats’ national election reform bill, a dominant story line has taken hold inside the Democratic Party and much of the media. It goes like this: In state capitols around the country controlled by Republicans, the GOP is trying to accomplish legislatively what the Jan.… Continue reading Doubts About Election Integrity Hurt Us All

The fight outside North High School in Denver was about to turn more violent as one girl wrapped a bike chain around her fist to strike the other. Just before the attacker used the weapon, school staff arrived and restrained her, ending the fight but not the story.

Embracing affirmative action is virtually a job qualification for university administrators. The same is true, alas, for faculty and students in the humanities and social sciences. They march in lockstep toward a society permanently categorized by race, all with the best of intentions but not the best of outcomes. They aren’t just woke. Their eyelids… Continue reading How Universities Will Sidestep SCOTUS on Affirmative Action

This ruling comes as ballot drop boxes had widespread, successful use during the 2020 presidential election, predominately… Continue reading Drop Boxes, Mail-In Voting Are Not Threats to Election Integrity

When Joe Biden was elected in November 2020, the fawning media coverage of his presidency-to-come was trumped by an even more powerful force: The “Dr. Jill Biden” news cycle. In the weeks leading up to Inauguration Day, pro-Jill puff pieces dominated the headlines in ways that only Michelle Obama could understand. Melania Trump, of course,… Continue reading The First Lady Double Standard

The email from “Norton Protection” said I owed $999.99, which was “charged successfully and it will appear on your bank statement in 24 to 48 hours.” Although I have an account with a leading cybersecurity company, I’ve never paid that much for its products.
