The Jewish state has long been singled out for opprobrium and held to a standard different than that of other societies.
Op-Eds
Cal Thomas: Needed: Regime change in Iran
This should be the policy of the United States and other free countries, especially those that have been subjected to terrorist attacks. The goal must be removal of the ayatollahs ruling and ruining Iran, and to make sure free and fair elections are held to replace them.
Rev. Richard Killmer and Amy Rogghe: The truth about electric vehicles
We now have the rechargeable battery technology to make EVs not only more practical, but more economical and an answer to many existential problems of our time, like the climate crisis and detrimental public health impacts surrounding air pollution.
Hal Phillips: RiverWatch: Many expectations of the child welfare system largely miss the point
L.D. 2097 is a bill that would authorize and fund the hire of case aides — to lighten the load of caseworkers around the state by delivering documents, driving children to appointments, supervising kiddos in the office or hotels rooms overnight. When making the best of imperfect situations (in this case, an imperfect hiring situation), L.D. 2097 makes sense to me.
Austin Bay: Israel’s airspace defense victory: Credit Reagan’s SDI
Israel’s missile defense victory was 50 years in the making. Recall Desert Storm’s miss-then-hit Patriot shots against Saddam Hussein’s SCUDs. Beginning with the Reagan administration’s Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), the U.S. and Israel developed “layered” air and space missile defenses.
Bob Neal: The Countryman: The misuse of religion
Christian Nationalists’ desire to make us a “Christian nation” could make us look a lot like Russia. There may lie a path to the death of democracy.
Cal Thomas: A taxing time
We must drive a stake in the blood-sucking government’s heart, or we will end up driving one in ourselves, and the country we have known and loved will be no more.
Froma Harrop: Did legalized abortion lead to lower crime rates?
The abortion discussion should rightfully go beyond a woman’s right to control her body.
Rich Lowry: No one cares about Joe Biden’s lawlessness
President Joe Biden has, once more, claimed to find astonishingly wide-ranging authority to forgive student loans hiding in minute places deep in the federal code.
Froma Harrop: As Nebraska Goes, so could go Maine
Maine’s House recently narrowly voted to have the state join an interstate compact that would assign its Electoral College votes to whatever presidential candidate won the national popular vote. So far 16 states have joined the compact, which would go into effect only if the members have enough electoral votes to determine the outcome.
