Commentary: Black people on campuses support fighting antisemitism and also wonder, 'What about us?'

Politics / Op Eds /

Antisemitism is abhorrent. No Jewish person should ever experience it, and universities must do all they can to eradicate it on campuses.

The Trump administration is pushing colleges and universities to address antisemitism by threatening, freezing and revoking federal funding and demanding millions of dollars to settle allegations — or in ...Read more

Commentary: Is Trump normalizing military occupation of American cities?

Politics / Op Eds /

President Donald Trump’s military interventions in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., foretell his plan for other cities.

The Washington Post recently reported on the Pentagon’s plans for a “quick reaction force” to deploy amid civil unrest. And, broad mobilization of the military on U.S. soil could happen under the Insurrection Act, ...Read more

Editorial: Ideological diversion treated as a social risk

Politics / Op Eds /

Critics have long contended that the progressive authoritarianism dominating college campuses is antithetical to open discourse and intellectual growth. A study confirms those suspicions.

Researchers at Northwestern recently announced the results of a two-year study in which they conducted interviews with more than 1,400 students on their own ...Read more

Editorial: After a disastrous Alaska summit, a feeble Trump looks poised to complete his sellout of Ukraine

Politics / Op Eds /

President Donald Trump’s Alaska summit with Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin was an epic failure on several fronts.

Now, he appears poised to complete the sellout of Ukraine. In doing so, he will abandon Europe and open the door for China to invade Taiwan. Worst of all, Trump continues to show the world that he is a paper tiger.

Could Trump ...Read more

Michael Hiltzik: Trump wants NASA to burn a crucial satellite to cinders, killing research into climate change

Politics / Op Eds /

By any reasonable metric, NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory has been a spectacular success. Originally designed to support a two-year pilot project, it has been operating continuously in space for more than 10 years and could continue doing so for three decades more.

The data it produces "are of exceptionally high quality," NASA stated in a ...Read more

Editorial: Democrats keep cozying up to NYC's Mamdani

Politics / Op Eds /

Ideas have consequences. And the consequences of socialism are extremely destructive.

Socialist Zohran Mamdani continues to be the clear front-runner to be the next mayor of New York City. He hasn’t been shy about his hard-left positions.

He wants to “freeze the rent” and create “city-owned grocery stores,” according to his campaign...Read more

Editorial: Who's afraid of a healthy school lunch?

Politics / Op Eds /

In Japan, most schools serve freshly prepared, nutritionally balanced lunches — often rice, fish or meat, soup and vegetables. French cafeterias typically offer multi-course meals that might include salad, a main dish, bread, cheese and dessert.

By contrast, many Americans recall their own school lunches as far less appealing.

Some of us ...Read more

Commentary: Trump's claim of fighting antisemitism at UCLA is a dangerous charade

Politics / Op Eds /

Days after UCLA settled a lawsuit brought by three Jewish students and a Jewish professor alleging antisemitism, the Trump administration announced that it would suspend $584 million in federal research grants to the institution, alleging failure to “promote a research environment free of antisemitism.” Pressing that case, the administration...Read more

Commentary: Democrats need to focus on communication

Politics / Op Eds /

The Democrats have a problem… I realize this isn’t a revelation, but I believe they’re boxed into a corner with limited options to regain their footing.

Don’t get me wrong, the party could have a big win in the 2026 midterms with a backlash building against Trump and MAGA. In some scenarios, that could also lead to taking back the ...Read more

Editorial: RFK is turning anti-vax quackery into federal policy. It could cost lives

Politics / Op Eds /

The single most important achievement of President Donald Trump’s first term was the lightning-fast development of COVID vaccines by the end of 2020.

By some estimates, those vaccines developed under Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed” saved between 14 million and 19 million lives worldwide in their first year of use alone.

While it’s ...Read more

Stephen Mihm: It's not just Sydney Sweeney -- The US always fights about jeans

Politics / Op Eds /

The American Eagle Outfitters Inc. Sydney Sweeney “Good Jeans” controversy happened in late July — a lifetime ago in internet terms — but here we are, halfway through August, and people are still talking about it.

One of the latest references happened last Friday, when Dr. Phil, outraged that liberals found fault with the ad, announced...Read more

Mary Ellen Klas: Abolishing voting by mail will hurt Republicans more than help

Politics / Op Eds /

If President Donald Trump were to issue an executive order to abolish mail-in voting, as he announced he would on social media on Monday, it would almost certainly be unconstitutional. It would also be baffling — because eliminating vote-by-mail would probably hurt Republicans more than it would help them in next year’s midterm elections.

Marc Champion: Ukraine got a reprieve in Washington -- not an escape

Politics / Op Eds /

In the 1963 war movie "The Great Escape," 76 prisoners make it out of their camp in what begins with hope and elation, but ends with all but a handful killed or recaptured. Monday’s meeting between the U.S. and its worried Ukrainian and European allies felt a little like those first exhilarating moments of escape, as the meeting passed off ...Read more

Commentary: Donald Trump reverses course on a ceasefire in Ukraine. What can Europe expect now?

Politics / Op Eds /

If President Donald Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week in Alaska was designed to bring some clarity to conflict-ending diplomacy, it failed. The talks generated more questions than answers, with the Russians insisting on a Ukrainian withdrawal from the Donbas region, Trump claiming that significant progress was made...Read more

Commentary: Katrina was bigger than a hurricane

Politics / Op Eds /

When Hurricane Katrina touched down near New Orleans 20 years ago on Aug. 29, 2005, I was just beginning my journey as a first-year medical student. I remember watching the footage of families stranded on rooftops, hospitals submerged, and the bodies of people and pets floating in the floodwaters.

I had not yet developed the language of public ...Read more

Commentary: Liberals have also censored history

Politics / Op Eds /

In 1874, during the brief era of Reconstruction, white people staged a racist uprising in New Orleans. Angered by the presence of African Americans in law enforcement and other government posts, members of the Crescent City White League stormed the local customs house and killed 11 police officers.

Two years later, a contested presidential ...Read more

Gustavo Arellano: Newsom's redistricting move isn't pretty. California GOP leaders are uglier

Politics / Op Eds /

King Gavin is at it again!

That’s the cry coming from Republicans across California as Newsom pushes the state Legislature to approve a November special election like none this state has ever seen. Voters would have the chance to approve a congressional map drawn by Democrats hoping to wipe out GOP-held seats and counter Texas Gov. Greg ...Read more

John M. Crisp: Trump reshapes history while we're not looking

Politics / Op Eds /

Some of President Donald Trump’s ill-advised actions would be more shocking if there weren’t so many of them. But how much consternation can you expend over Trump’s firing of the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because he didn’t like the labor statistics, while, shortly thereafter, he mobilizes the National Guard and takes...Read more

Clive Crook: Resistance isn't a real strategy for the Democrats

Politics / Op Eds /

Nearly nine months after Donald Trump’s reelection, Democrats still can’t make sense of it. Only the faintest glimmers of a reset are visible. The only thing that might pass for a strategy seems to be the hope that, given time, voters will finally come to their senses: It’s the people who need to think again, not the politicians who are ...Read more

Commentary: Trump's missile defense system is nothing but fool's gold

Politics / Op Eds /

There can be wisdom in cliche. More than 120 years after philosopher George Santayana wrote, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” his well-known phrase remains an essential guide for national defense. Case in point: The French failed to draw the proper lessons from the brutal trench warfare of World War I and ...Read more
