Whenever a Catholic runs or is nominated for public office, he or she has to endure a now-familiar vetting process revolving around one thing: abortion rights. To make progressives happy, candidates must follow the Mario Cuomo script of "I am personally opposed but I will not impose my will …
Democrats sure do enjoy raining on the parade that is the Donald Trump economy. Joe Biden, for example, recently accused the president of "squandering" the Obama economy in recent years.
I was on a plane to Beijing as the House of Representatives was voting to formally open an impeachment inquiry into the president. In some ways, I felt I was heading for the more important story.
Recently
President Donald Trump’s years in office have been marked by ongoing trade wars, putting members of Congress in a true quandary. Most lawmakers understand that they have the "power of the purse," and nearly full discretion in raising or lowering taxes — including tariffs
BEIJING — One of the first things I learned on my current trip to Beijing is that foreigners are marooned if they don’t have a Chinese bank account.
If the impeachment effort isn’t taking the nation by storm, the Democrats have an answer — blame it on Latin.
This year, Nebraska Community Foundation celebrates 25 years of community-building from the ground up. I have had the honor of helping to lead this remarkable organization for more than 20 of those years.
The Northeast Community College campus — which, as noted in this space Saturday, was home to two completed buildings and two under construction in 1973 — now boasts 27 buildings with classroom and lab facilities.
Famous Republicans we once respected for their patriotism have been all over our news screens, appearing politically panicked — even unglued — over truths we’ll all finally be able to see and hear for ourselves soon.
The lesson of the 2019 state elections confirmed the lesson of the 2018 congressional midterms: Donald Trump can stage all the demagogic rallies he wants, but he’s powerless to reverse the GOP’s hemorrhaging in the populous suburbs.
Shortly after Jim Bakker’s release from prison in July 1994, I invited the disgraced TV evangelist to my home. There was an important question I wanted to ask him.
In 1973, the Northeast Community College campus consisted of two completed buildings and two others under construction. At that time, the college served approximately 800 credit students and offered 39 programs of study.
Congress has plenty of unfinished business, and that’s not likely to change anytime soon, especially now with the specter of impeachment hearings for President Donald Trump looming over the nation’s capital.
If you are paying attention to the Washington circus that is the impeachment inquiry into President Trump’s handling of the much maligned Ukraine call, this is what real collusion looks like: a media largely committed to advancing the goal of Democrats to severely damage or remove him from o…
All praise to the brave special forces operators and CIA analysts who took down the heinous ISIS chief, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
By now, probably anyone who has watched any of the Democratic debates or listened to TV sound bites has concluded that presidential wannabes believe whatever the problem, more government is the answer.
Not that either of us regrets the decision to relocate back to our South Dakota roots (it seemed like a good idea given our age and the fact of so many close friends with whom we enjoy reliving treasured memories) in the beautiful Black Hills, but had we remained in Valentine, I would be ser…
If you watched much of the recent seven-game World Series between the Washington Nationals and the Houston Astros, you probably saw a short Major League Baseball video promoting the 2019 playoffs.
It’s probably safe to say that we’re speaking for the majority of Norfolkans when we offer the opinion that we hope the City of Norfolk doesn’t have to employ its snow removal plan very often this winter.
Rep. Adam Schiff recently revealed that, before he entered politics, he wanted to be a screenwriter. He even penned scripts for a courtroom drama and an action-filled spy thriller. Mr. Schiff, now leading the Democratic push to impeach President Trump, hasn’t lost his theatrical flair.
Before he brought "Law and Order" into our living rooms by playing a district attorney on TV, actor Fred Thompson was a real-life Republican senator from Tennessee. And before that, when Fred and I first got to know each other in 1973, he was just a 30-year-old attorney, freshly hired by Sen…
