By Julie Kelly, RealClearInvestigationsSeptember 18, 2024 Attorney General Merrick Garland broke precedent just weeks before the November election, delivering politically charged remarks at the U.S. Attorneys’ National Conference in Washington – pointedly speaking publicly rather than privately in a departure from his usual practice. Merrick Garland, Attorney General: “We will not allow this department to… Continue reading To Many, the Justice Dept. Is Honoring Political Neutrality in the Breach Again

When it comes to celebrating Constitution Day, it may be considered atypical to think of the Declaration of Independence. After all, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were two separate documents authored 11 years apart, written for two very distinct reasons, and penned by different authors. Yet both documents were integral in creating the… Continue reading Constitution Day Reflections on America’s Founding Documents

Four years ago, the historic Abraham Accords between the UAE, Bahrain, and Israel were signed on the White House lawn. Morocco and Sudan soon followed. In the midst of the extremely challenging COVID-19 pandemic, a ray of light heralding a new era of peace, integration, and cooperation broke through the darkness. Hamas’ October 7 massacre… Continue reading Time to Launch Abraham Accords 2.0

In 2016, Donald Trump carried Pennsylvania by more than 44,000 votes – a 0.7% margin of victory. In 2020, Joe Biden’s margin was 81,000 votes – a 1.2% margin of victory.

The Harris-Walz campaign has been vibe-a-licious and content-free; its positions on domestic and foreign policy have (with apologies to Hollywood) essentially consisted of open defiance of any presidential campaign norms: “Policy? We ain’t got no policy. We don’t need no policy. We don’t have to show you any stinkin’ policy.” But the campaign’s policy on… Continue reading Kamaflage: The Harris Policy Dump

Ever since Kamala Harris took the Democratic nomination away from Joe Biden, the Democratic messaging shifted gears from “protecting democracy” to promoting “freedom.” This was especially true as Democrats unveiled an ad titled “Freedom” at the Democratic National Convention coupled with one of Harris’ go-to stump speeches where she proudly proclaims, “We chose freedom.” As an immigrant,… Continue reading The Harris Campaign’s Facade of Freedom

When I chose to attend UCLA, I never thought I’d be segregated from my peers for being a Jew.  Nor did I suspect that my school’s administration would encourage and support antisemitic harassment, intimidation, and assault. This year, both nightmares became a reality for me and hundreds of Jews at UCLA. But following a federal… Continue reading UCLA Failed Jewish Students Like Me

Americans are spending more money on melatonin than they ever have, while at the same time, a growing percentage of adults, 37%, complain that they’re getting worse sleep.  Experts have a simple explanation for the mismatch, and it’s bad news for the 67 million Americans, or about 27% of adults, who use the supplement: While taking it… Continue reading To Sleep, Perchance Not Very Well, by Taking Melatonin

Activists are covertly pushing political agendas by radicalizing concepts and ideas that were once benign parts of everyday life. Five years ago this month, such activists successfully changed the stated mission and purpose of certain companies, including some of the largest economic drivers in the United States, using criteria rooted in politics instead of business.… Continue reading The Five-year Anniversary of Corporate Wokeness Should Be Mourned, Not Celebrated

The “Showtime” Los Angeles Lakers of the 1980s always seemed so happy. This was particularly bothersome to me as a Boston Celtics fan growing up in the Los Angeles area. It seemed the Lakers of that era were more than good. They were harmonious. How else to run fast breaks that had such orchestral qualities?… Continue reading Book Review: Jeff Pearlman’s Very Entertaining ‘Showtime’
