House Republicans pressed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for answers Thursday as every sign appeared to point to a rising surge of illegal immigrants trying to cross the southern border.  According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, agents last month logged over 221,000 “encounters” with illegal aliens along the border, a 33% jump from February.     In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Mayorkas argued that the situation at the border is under “operational control,” as the law requires. Republicans on the committee repeatedly rejected this claim, pointing to the huge…

BREMERTON, Washington—It’s the final play of coach Joe Kennedy’s seven-year legal battle.  The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Monday in Kennedy’s case, and ultimately decide whether a public school employee is allowed to participate in silent prayer in view of students while on the clock.  “The only thing I’m asking the Supreme Court is that I get to be a coach, and I get to thank God afterwards,” Kennedy says.  In 2015, Kennedy lost his job as an assistant football coach at a high school in Washington state after…

Finally, someone actually cares about the children. The Florida Department of Health released new guidelines Wednesday about treating gender dysphoria in children.

When historians study the disaster that was the Biden administration, they will find many factors that contributed to the historic level of failure we are witnessing. At the top of the list is a president who is clearly just not up to the job. Whether due to age, cognitive decline, or general ineptitude, Joe Biden has not been able to lead America. Nobody wants a weak president. People can smell weakness, and Biden reeks of it. The president put himself in a further hole by surrounding himself with a young…

At the corner of Connecticut Avenue and I Street Northwest in the District of Columbia, residents and visitors walking under the springtime cherry blossoms pass by a beautiful bit of quasi-haiku posted for the city’s “Golden Haiku” contest: “First trimester—her new passworda baby’s name” A few blocks away, the bodies of 115 nameless preborn babies—a small number among the thousands aborted every year in the District of Columbia—were recovered March 25 from Washington Surgi-Clinic on F Street Northwest. The bodies were “medical waste” bound for the city’s incinerator, where they…

The shamelessness of liberal politicians and journalists is displayed by their unique outrage at the treatment of Supreme Court Justice-to-be Ketanji Brown Jackson, as if everyone forgot the smearing of Brett Kavanaugh with unsubstantiated sexual allegations, including teenage gang rape. The Washington Post editorial board was roundly roasted for claiming, “Republicans boast they have not pulled a Kavanaugh. In fact, they’ve treated Ketanji Brown Jackson worse.” Leftist celebrity activists such as George Takei ranted at Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., for suggesting Jackson would have defended the Nazis at Nuremberg (like…
