Cal Thomas: Promoting lawlessness in Chicago

The cure to lawlessness is not to indulge the lawbreakers by justifying or seeking to explain their behavior. It is to enforce the law. Doing so serves to tell others there are consequences for illegal behavior and justice will be swift and certain.

Clarence Page: Enough flowery speeches, Mr. Mayor-elect. It’s time to move on to governing

Rich Lowry: Republicans can’t run and hide on abortion

Republicans at the national level, right now, are scared. You can hear it in their silence on the issue of abortion after a district judge in Texas struck down the FDA approval of the abortion pill mifepristone.

Focused state terrorism is a fair way to frame all three cases the Department of Justice is pursuing.

Cal Thomas: More or less

President Biden wants to raise taxes again. Unlikely, given the Republican House majority, but this Tax Day offers us our annual opportunity to explore what we are getting in exchange for what we’re paying Washington.
