Deep breaths, everyone. All will be well.
It stood to reason that 2016 has a few more surprises up its very large sleeves, and that The Ohio State University’s double-overtime 30-27 win over Michigan’s Wolverines would be among them.
Not that the Bucks’ winning The Game is a jolt. Ohio State has won 12 of the schools’ last 13 meetings. But there had never been an overtime in the...

Left-Wing Jews Are Embarrassing Judaism
A highly respected American rabbi named Dr. Irving “Yitz” Greenberg used to tell American Jewish audiences, whether Reform, Conservative Orthodox, “I don’t care what denomination you’re a member of, as long as you’re ashamed of it.”
I have adopted that phrase, and I apply it to religions generally. One could just as...

The ‘Constitution Spring’
Long-time residents of California know what the aftermath of a major quake is like. Even those completely uninjured and complete strangers to personal or property loss are jittery for weeks or even months. They hate to be stuck under overpasses. They loathe being in Los Angeles’ very tall buildings when the inevitable aftershocks roll through. It’s...

False Charges of Racism
Liberal commentators have attempted to tarnish Donald Trump’s astonishing victory by blaming racism for his triumph. But the simple arithmetic of GOP success proves that racism had little to do with it.
In 2016, Mr. Trump got fewer white votes than any of the three prior GOP nominees, Romney, McCain or George W. Bush, at the same time that he got a higher...

DIANE MEDVED: The Right Theme Song for a New Era
BY DIANE MEDVED
Throughout his history-making campaign, the president-elect concluded each tumultuous rally on the same puzzling note: playing the Rolling Stones song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want’, with a slow, angelic chorus pronouncing the words as if they represented holy writ.
Looking back after Mr. Trump’s astonishing...

A Final Plea to Never-Trumpers
It is very hard to publicly affirm a position for nearly a year and to then, at the last minute, change one’s mind.
Nevertheless, even as late as Election Day itself, I wish to address those conservatives and Republicans who have declared themselves Never-Trumpers.
I was one of you in vigorously opposing Trump’s nomination — on my national...

The choice
Former Missouri Senator Jim Talent made a comprehensive five part closing argument for Donald Trump for president here.
Larry Arnn, the president of Hillsdale College — speaking for himself and not his community of teachers, students and staff at Hillsdale — made an argument about both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump which ought to be read or listened to in...

Don’t Lose Touch with American Optimism
In the concluding days of the long, bitter campaign, a slight economic improvement sparked a new burst of hope. According to CNN/ORC polling, 54% thought things were “going well” in America, while only 46% said they were going poorly—the best rating in nearly 10 years. This correlates with big increases in approval for President Obama, placing him in...

A Painful Problem that Government Won’t Solve
A new report from the American Cancer Society highlights the tragic toll of smoking-related cancers: 167,000 deaths in the most recent yearly statistics from tobacco-caused cancer alone, not even including additional smoking-based deaths caused by other lung and circulatory problems.
This means the number of cancer victims who perish due to cigarettes exceeds...

YouTube vs. Conservative Speech
Last week, The Wall Street Journal wrote an editorial about YouTube restricting access to 16 videos — down from 21 — that were created and posted online by my nonprofit educational organization, Prager University. The subheading read, “YouTube thinks Dennis Prager’s videos may be dangerous.” The Journal said:
“Tech giants...

Francona’s example for GOP: Stick with what has worked in the past
If 2016 trends stay true, the “Sweet Meteor of Death” (#SMOD on Twitter) will hit the earth — specifically, at Progressive Field in Cleveland — in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 7 with the score tied and the Cleveland Indians’ Mike Napoli at bat.
The Cubs’ Jon Lester will have dueled with the Tribe’s Corey Kluber through...
