Rich Lowry: For the good of the country, Biden shouldn’t run again

In an office that requires vigor and forcefulness, he's mumbly and bleached out. In a position that makes young men suddenly look much older, he's already quite aged. In a job where words matter, he can't keep his straight.

Froma Harrop: ‘Women’ shall not be erased

There are lots of good women who don't care to be called "bodies with cervixes." These efforts to burden them with silly labels are truly not helping the cause. What the cause needs is sending more Democrats to Washington, and this does the opposite.

Supreme Court needn’t fear political backlash on abortion

The predictable long-run effect of court-packing is to weaken the judiciary, as justices learn that their decisions will last only until an election delivers control of the elected branches to its opponents.

Austin Bay: Gulf of Mexico pirates threaten global security and environmental extortion

On June 14 pirates armed with automatic weapons attacked a Pemex (Petroleos Mexicano/Mexican Petroleum) oil platform in the Bay of Campeche.

Iris Roberts: The way we were: Our father and his guns

Our dad thought assault weapons of war were useless for civilians and a "waste of good money." He was a veteran of World War II, who did not live long enough to know that assault weapons of war would one day proliferate in numbers so large that they would eventually be bringing children brutally down in classrooms, and killing people of all ages ruthlessly almost anywhere in America — and I’m glad that he did not.
