The purely progressive Pulitzer Prize parade

The latest announcement of the Pulitzer Prizes brought great anticipation — not about who would win awards but about what topics would be honored. Once again, the awards were dominated by the leftist brands — The New York Times and The New Yorker. Pulitzer Prize juries tend to hand out awards based on which causes they want to honor, and who they feel needs to be exposed. In Donald Trump’s first term, four Pulitzer Prizes for reporting were handed out for investigating Trump, most notably for the phantom menace of Russian collusion in the 2016 campaign. As that conspiracy theory ...

Team Trump’s baby mandates getting creepy

Natalism. Elon Musk won’t stop posting about it. Vice President JD Vance won’t stop talking about it. Which is odd, because neither of them has a uterus. Or a clue. Which is why we women on the right need to step in and help our brothers out with an intervention. Check yourselves before you wreck yourselves, guys. “Our people aren’t having enough children to replace themselves. That should bother us,” Vance once told a crowd at a political event. “We want babies not just because they are economically useful. We want more babies because children are good. And we believe ...

On Trump’s comments about a possible third term

When Republicans took control of Congress in 1947, they were still angry that President Franklin D. Roosevelt had won a fourth term in 1944, and they set out to pass a constitutional amendment to limit future presidents to two terms. John Jennings, Republican of Tennessee, stood on the House floor and said a 22nd Amendment was necessary to prevent a dictator from taking over the country. “Without such a limit on the number of terms a man may serve in the presidency, the time may come when a man of vaulting ambition becomes president,” Mr. Jennings said on Feb. 6, 1947. Such a man, ...

‘N’ in SNAP means nutrition

SNAP, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps, is one of the nation’s largest welfare programs. And, like all welfare programs, it is massive, it has grown prodigiously over the years and it is inefficient. One glaring issue, which is gaining attention as a result of new Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again campaign, is the kinds of foods that recipients of SNAP funds can purchase. And here we have convergence of bodily health and fiscal health. The “N” in SNAP stands for nutrition. The ...

Push for equal rights, against quotas

“It is the policy of the United States to eliminate the use of disparate-impact liability in all contexts to the maximum degree possible to avoid violating the Constitution, Federal civil rights laws, and basic American ideals.” Those words, the operative section of “Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy,” one of several executive orders President Donald Trump issued on April 23, mark a giant step forward for equal rights under law, the motivating principle behind ratification of the 14th Amendment in 1868 and passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. Unhappily, ...

Finding your people makes life better

When you know where you belong, it’s easier to be yourself. As an adult with autism, Sara Lamb’s search for belonging has been a long road, which is why I wanted to talk to her. Sara described herself as “quirky” and “shy.” When she attended public school as a child, she felt like a “lone wolf.” She said, “I just didn’t have a lot of lasting friendships.” Sara was homeschooled in high school and wasn’t diagnosed with autism until she was 16. It was Sara’s Aunt Amber who first considered autism a possibility after watching the 2010 biographical film “Temple ...
