Next week we'll have what looks to be the last debate between the two major party tickets in this Presidential election cycle: the Vice Presidential debate between J.D. Vance and Tim Walz.

Thoughts on Conception and Abortion

Why We’re In the Mess We’re In Over Abortion
With "election season" (which actually started with the end of the last one) officially upon us, we need to stop and consider the biggest mess the Republican Party finds itself in: the hard pushback against making abortion illegal in any stage of pregnancy. With the Dobbs decision, I'm sure that many in the pro-life movement …

The Suspension of RFK Jr.’s Campaign
Well, it's done now: https://www.youtube.com/live/9kPNOrwHOhQ?si=3ue3sb46L8bOHVq7&t=2956 His speech was one of the most interesting--if a little too lengthy--speeches of this campaign cycle. He hits our country's establishment on a number of fronts, especially the way his own party--the party of his uncles Jack and Teddy Kennedy and his father Bobby--relentlessly squeezed him out of the primary …
Lights Out, Comrades
In 1988 my brother and I visited what was then the Soviet Union. Our intent was to sell them pile driving equipment for their offshore oil exploration, but before it was all over we acquired some valuable technology from them that has been useful both before and after my time in the family business.

Dumping Joe Biden Doesn’t Solve the Democrats’ Basic Problem
It's official: President Biden made the unprecedented decision Sunday to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, less than four months after being declared the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee and just weeks after a dismal debate showing. Getting him out of the way--and that's what really happened--doesn't solve his party's basic problem, which I stated at the very start of …

Democrats are hooked on Hillbilly Horror—Unherd
When Hillary Clinton finally shuffles off this mortal coil, what words will she be remembered by? My money would be on her “basket of deplorables” … Democrats are hooked on Hillbilly Horror
The Appeal to Heaven is All We Have Left
It's the time of the year when the United States celebrates its independence from the United Kingdom. These days there is always something "up in the air." One of those things is the fact that the "Appeal to Heaven" flag was found flying over the vacation home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. (My family …
The EU is turning into a Remainer nightmare–Unherd
Things are not going well on the Continent: For years they’ve been painting Brussels as a beacon of progressivism, peace and democracy, as opposed to the far-Right, racist and economically suicidal project of Brexit. Yet, ironically, it is the European Parliament, not the British one, that is about to swing firmly to the Right, as several …
