  • A Glimpse into the Culture of Death

    Peter Wehner

    The “animating principle behind the abortion industry and its flagship (and taxpayer-supported) organization” is utter indifference to the violent taking of human life.

  • Digital 3D Illustration of the Planet Mars

    Go to the Moon and Mars, Not to an Asteroid

    Harrison Schmitt

    The only scientist and last man to land on the moon argues that we shouldn’t allow China “to take over the exploration of the moon from the United States and the free world” and thus cede “America’s hard-won position as the world’s leading space-faring nation.”

    Lost in Space

    George Abbey

    From 1961 to 2011, the United States was able to send astronauts into space but can only do so now under foreign command—and it’s time to revive our manned-spaceflight program.

    House GOP Promotes Obama’s Crippling of Criminal Justice

    Daniel Horowitz

    Republicans should be cautious about joining the Obama administration’s efforts to “reform” the criminal justice system, as the administration seems more focused on rolling back proven crime-reduction policies than in protecting American citizens.

    Putting Women in Combat Is an Even Worse Idea Than You’d Think

    Mike Fredenburg

    The ideologically motivated effort to move our female service members into combat roles is putting “politics before the lives of our young women and men,” despite the clear and persuasive reality-based evidence that argues against it.

    Losing the War with Iran

    Newt Gingrich

    President Obama’s deal-at-all-costs agreement would give Iran $140 billion (with which it would fund terrorism and other activities), make it hard to reintroduce sanctions, increase the prestige of Iran’s dictatorship, and accelerate Iran’s nuclear program, while giving the U.S. nothing of note in return.

  • Press Corps Confusion: Obamacare Is ‘Dismal’ for Democrats, Yet Repeal Is ‘Untenable’

    Jeffrey H. Anderson

    The press corps is advancing—and many Republican officeholders are buying—the false notion that Obamacare is both politically toxic and politically bulletproof, a claim that seems rather contradictory on its face.

    Obamacare’s Fruit: Insurers Merge, Premiums Rise

    Timothy P. Carney

    As the experience of Obamacare highlights, big government doesn’t lead to success for the little guy or small business—it leads to bigger businesses, fewer choices, and greater consolidation of power in the hands of the few.

    New Data: Illegal Immigrants Are Major Contributors to Drug Crimes

    Pete Kasperowicz

    According to the U.S. Sentencing Commission, illegal immigrants were responsible for almost three-eighths (37 percent) of all federal sentences in 2014 and almost three-quarters ‎(74 percent) of all federal drug sentences, up from 56 percent in 2013.

    Making Congress Responsible

    Jay Cost

    Four reforms would help Congress “break and control the violence of faction”: ban committee chairs from taking money from donors with business before the committee; ban former members from lobbying; have Congress provide more of its own information; and have the House Rules Committee stop logrolls.

    The War on the Military Culture

    James Webb

    Almost nothing has changed in the 18 years since the author observed that the ’60s generation’s assault has hurt our armed forces’ morale, order, and discipline—and it’s still time for military leaders and Congress to initiate honest reviews of where sexual mixing is undermining fairness, cohesion, and effectiveness.

    Use Reconciliation to Oppose Obamacare—But Do It Carefully

    Jeffrey H. Anderson

    There are two good ways for Republicans to use reconciliation to advance the cause of repeal—use it to pass a bill to repeal the despised individual mandate, or use it to pass a bill to repeal as much of Obamacare as possible.

    National Review, July 16, 2015
  • Obama’s Coming Epidemic of Drugs

    David W. Murray & John P. Walters

    After inheriting a nation with drug use in steep decline, the Obama administration’s combination of neglect and unfulfilled promises related to drug control, treatment, and prevention has brought “devastating results.”

  • Obamacare Takes Center Stage

    Jeffrey H. Anderson

    With King v. Burwell behind us, Obamacare is poised to become the main issue in the 2016 election.

  • The Three Republican Camps after King v. Burwell

    Ben Sasse

    After King v. Burwell, Republicans will divide into the “Fix-It Caucus,” the “Replacement Caucus,” and the “Repeal-Only Caucus,” with the first and third being guaranteed losers (the first by design) and the second being a winner—which means it’s time for GOP presidential candidates to unveil their Obamacare alternatives.
