When Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal was presented with House Bill 757, which has been coined a “religious liberty” bill, he refused to follow what his party expected and wanted him to do. He vetoed it.
Superdelegates provide stability and a voice of reason—or at least a voice to raise questions about electability and what’s best for the future of the party.
Both George H.W. and George W. left office unpopular and in bad economic times. The mainstream media had done its work well, pinning the economic and geopolitical situations at the time of their departures to the lapels of Jeb’s brother and his father before him.
One Democratic candidate for president would have been laughed out of the race by past generations and the other is under investigation by the very government she’s trying to lead.
In the same breath, the governor passed a bill with harmful restrictions on environmental regulations and vetoed another bill preventing them. His stance is, at best, confusing.
The IU Public Policy Institute recently placed a top priority on leadership development and quality of life in communities of all sizes. These can be advanced by private initiative with or without government support.
Gentrification is controversial, but guess what? It works.
Zero tolerance is necessary for violent and dangerous behavior, but sometimes suspensions are used for minor issues like breaking dress-code rules, marking on a desk, or running in the halls—all common problems teachers encounter each day.
Responsible U.S. companies are being forced to either sacrifice market share to global competitors or move production overseas. To reverse course, we must comprehensively reform the way the federal government taxes and regulates the American economy.
No economy can thrive under a system that discourages success, double-taxes earnings, and requires teams of professionals for compliance. By replacing our tax code with simple pro-growth reforms and transitioning to a territorial tax system, we can stop companies from moving overseas.
If the gatekeepers at Davidson College had judged the teenager by her ACT score, she probably wouldn’t have gotten in. It was 25 out of a possible 36, and more than three-quarters of the students at Davidson, a liberal-arts school in North Carolina with about 1,800 undergraduates and an acceptance rate of just over 20 […]
When the U.S. military trains fighter pilots, it uses a concept called the OODA loop. It stands for observe, orient, decide, act. The idea is that, if your ability to observe, orient, decide and act in a dogfight at 30,000 feet is faster than the other pilot’s, you’ll shoot his plane out of the sky. […]
Amid all the media analyses of the prospects of each of the candidates in both political parties, there is remarkably little discussion of the validity—or lack of validity—of the arguments these candidates are using. It is as if what matters this election year is the fate of a relative handful of people running for their […]
We have a law that forbids what on six other days is a legal act simply to insulate a few family businesses from 21st century competition.
Perhaps one of the greatest impacts the federal Every Student Succeeds Act could have on classrooms will be its respect of the professionals in our schools.
It’s offensive—and, in fact, quite racist—to think a black person or minority has “black” or “minority” opinions simply because of the color of his or her skin.
A longtime—though unreliable—target group of the left, young adults for the first time in a generation could instead flip for conservatives this November.
It is a sad truth that when men are forceful, they are viewed as strong, just the sort of leader we want. But when women are forceful, they are seen as strident, lecturing, even “bitchy.”
Voting against Trump is a moral imperative.
Like so many of my friends, I just can’t find much joy in mindlessly hurling insults to advance an agenda—if there even is one—that helps no one.
