Unpacking Media Bias and Narratives Around Asian-American Violence
After eight people — six Asian women, one white man and one white woman – were killed in a shooting in Atlanta last week, there’s been debate as to whether or not the media has been correct to tie the incident to anti-Asian hatred and racism.
Some have accused the media of bias in their coverage of the story, saying outlets have engaged in types of media bias such as emotionalism, spin

Marc Lotter: Sending Migrants to Sanctuary Cities 'Logical Move'
As Congress has not taken action to fix the nation's outdated asylum laws, it seems like a "logical move" to send migrants to the United States' sanctuary cities, Marc Lotter, the director of strategic communications for President Donald Trump's reelection campaign, said Monday.
"Ultimately the plan is for Congress to finally step up and do something to adjust the outdated asylum laws

When a Supreme Court Battle is Just the Undercard
In a column last week about California’s wildfires, I referenced a recent poll from the respected Pew Research Center that found that climate change policy ranked eleventh of twelve issues in importance to voters in this campaign. The only thing that was less of a priority to respondents in that survey was abortion, which came in twelfth and last.

A Brief History of the Senate Rule That Silenced Elizabeth Warren

In February 1902, the Senate was debating a bill related to the Philippines when Senator

When War Was the Answer
Terrible yet inspiring traces of D-Day remain in the Normandy landscape.
On a bluff above the sand and a half-mile from the ocean’s edge at low tide, which was the condition when the first Allied soldiers left their landing craft, a round circle of concrete five feet in diameter provides a collar for a hole in the ground.

Here's Your 'Something': NY Post Takes Ilhan Omar To The Woodshed Over Her 9/11 Terror Attack Remarks
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) once again landed in hot water after past remarks at a CAIR fundraiser last month showed her downplaying the 9/11 terror attacks. She referred to the 9/11 attacks as an event where “some people did something.” What’s with the censorship, Omar? Do you think we deserved to be attacked? I’m sure the families of the 3,000 or so victims would disagree. But just in case you’re

I touched on this earlier today, but it's worth revisiting. President Obama's White House pays women less than men, yet Democrats are still holding onto their Republican "war on women" meme. My colleague Guy brought my attention to a video produced by Concerned Women For America in April detailing President Obama's war on women by reminding us of DNC adviser Hilary Rosen's attack on stay-at-
