Biden Needs to Lead From Ahead At NATO Summit - While in Europe, Biden must also strongly oppose French President Emmanuel Macron’s dangerous call for a European Union Army, which will split the Nato alliance down the middle, and will do the bidding of the Kremlin. Vladimir Putin would dearly love to see a paper tiger EU Army that undermines the cohesion and unity of Nato. President Biden needs to act like the leader of the free world and work on reassuring our allies, projecting strength and resolve in the face of the Russian bear. He has spectacularly failed to do until now. Heritage Expert: Nile Gardiner and James Carafano
What the Confirmation Hearing Told Us About Judge Jackson’s Judicial Philosophy - On Wednesday, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., made confusing what—at least until that point—had seemed relatively clear. Jackson said that searching for the “original public meaning” of the Constitution’s text was her interpretive “methodology.” Whitehouse, however, called originalism not a methodology, but a judicial philosophy which, he said, judges did not need to have at all.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson Denies Connection to CRT. Her Past Says Otherwise. - In her exchange with Cruz, Jackson insisted that she had never studied CRT. “It wouldn’t be something that I would rely on if I was on the Supreme Court,” Jackson said to Cruz. In 2015, however, Jackson said that she tries to convince her students that sentencing “melds together myriad types of law” including “administrative law, constitutional law, critical race theory,” etc. Jackson also has closer ties to CRT. When Cruz asked Brown whether CRT was taught in schools, she responded, “I don’t think so. I believe it is an academic theory that is taught at the law school level.” That is in itself a red herring.

‘15 Days’ to 2 Years: How Power Corrupted Our Public Health Bureaucrats - Recently, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., introduced an amendment that would split the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases into three separate agencies, thus eliminating Dr. Anthony Fauci’s longtime job. Paul makes it clear that his priority is not merely administrative reorganization but the removal of the nation’s “dictator-in-chief” who has exercised “unilateral authority to make decisions for millions of Americans.” Although the focus is on Fauci, don’t let him hog all the blame. For the most part, our health czars issue recommendations that local officials implement. Their recommendations have disregarded civil liberties and have too often been wrong, but local officials who blindly followed them deserve their fair share of blame, as well.

11 People and Outlets Censored by Twitter for Questioning Gender Ideology - Of the many topics the radical left has tried to make verboten, there is none more contentious than gender ideology. At the mere suggestion that a man cannot become a woman or that there are only two genders, the Twitter harpies take flight to seek and destroy their target. Twitter is all too happy to support the mob in its quest for domination. Here is a list of 11 individuals and outlets censored by Twitter for questioning gender ideology.

How Washington can end the inflation crisis it created - Congress has pumped more than $6 trillion in COVID relief into the U.S. economy, while the Fed injected $4.7 trillion into financial markets. Congress authorized almost $2 trillion of this ‘relief’ in 2021, long after most of the country had largely returned to normal, when even progressive economists warned it could trigger inflation. … For all the president’s promises about raising taxes only on the rich, all Americans pay inflation’s ‘hidden tax’—at the gas pump and checkout counters, in utility bills, rents and car payments. The cost of living in 2021 grew faster than wages, so despite all those trillions we spent in ‘relief,’ and despite soaring costs to employers and small businesses, American workers have less purchasing power today than they did a year ago.

Kansas Weighs Protecting Rights of Children, Families in Education - Kansas lawmakers are considering a proposal to create a parents’ bill of rights, similar to a proposal recently approved by Florida lawmakers. These parental bills of rights put parents back at the center of intimate questions regarding a child’s mental and physical health. The proposals also empower parents to make decisions as they protect their children from radical, explicit sexual teaching content—along with racially discriminatory material—being used in state public schools. Those proposals are essential for parents today. Heritage Expert: Jonathan Butcher
