Supreme Court Unwisely Lets Biden End Program Making Illegal Aliens Remain in Mexico

As the U.S. southern border is being overrun with record numbers of illegal aliens month after month, the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday approved the Biden administration’s termination of the successful Remain in Mexico program in a 5-4 decision by Chief Justice John Roberts and joined by Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Brett Kavanaugh. The decision will further aggravate a dire border crisis, created by the administration’s open-border policies. The Remain in Mexico program (formally known as the Migration Protection Protocols) was implemented by the Trump administration…

By Inserting Gender Identity, Team Biden Muddies Title IX’s Protections for Girls, Women at School

On the 50th anniversary of Title IX protections for girls and women, the Biden administration proposed rule changes in enforcing the law that would have dramatic repercussions for publicly funded schools around the country.

Perhaps most significantly, the changes would extend the prohibition of discrimination based on sex to include sexual orientation and gender identity. It’s amazing how at this stage in the history of our republic, sweeping national social and political changes increasingly…

One prominent vehicle was the cover of the “Pride Issue” of People magazine dated June 20, featuring, “Robin Roberts In Her Own Words: Love, Faith, & Breaking Barriers.” Underline the “faith” part. The “Good Morning America” co-host insisted she was slow to come out of the closet because “I was afraid people couldn’t understand I could be Christian and gay.” This was also placed in big, black capital letters as a pull quote.

Don’t Draft Our Daughters—or Anyone Else

Last year, Congress considered a very bad and ill-considered idea. With no debate and no real scrutiny, there was an effort to add to the annual National Defense Authorization Act a provision to require young women to register for military conscription. The provision was dropped. Proponents will quietly try to add it again this year. It’s still a bad idea. Conservatives in Congress should have nothing to do with this wrongheaded proposal.

New Jersey Rolls Include Duplicate, Centenarian, and Unborn Voters

New Jersey resident Patrick DePaola first registered to vote in June 1927. A 50-year employee as a printer for The New York Times, he died at age 105 more than a decade ago, in December 2010.  But DePaola, who lived in Bayonne, remains listed as an “active” voter and is among 2,398 registered voters in New Jersey who appear to be 105 or older. That’s according to a new report by the election watchdog group Public Interest Legal Foundation, which notes that the average life expectancy in New Jersey is…
