Common Core will be defining issue for GOP presidential contenders in 2015
If the year ends quietly — not a given with the warnings in Australia and the alerts across Europe — I will spend the New Year’s Day Thursday show reviewing the issue that will drive much of the campaign agenda in 2015 and which will define many of the candidates as contenders or pretenders: Common Core, or “Obamacore” as it is increasingly...

Hit North Korea with its Worst Fear: Global Humiliation
If a movie inspires a raging international controversy that usually means it’s powerful, persuasive and artistically brilliant–like Birth of a Nation, or Battleship Potemkin, or more recently, The Passion of the Christ. That is emphatically not the case with the lame comedy The Interview, which fomented a new crisis involving North Korea.
The right way...

Lesson From Santa: Reward The Nice, Not The Naughty
In this festive season of the year, our leaders should learn from its most visible figure and resolve to reward the nice and punish the naughty. Unfortunately, the Obama administration seems perversely determined to do precisely the opposite in both foreign and domestic policy and to violate what ought to be the sacred Santa Principle.
Consider the new opening...

GOP Imperative: Rehabilitate “The M-Word”
An angry caller to my radio show recently tried to discredit me by invoking the dreaded M-word.
“You’re a moderate!” he growled. “And moderates are killing the Republican Party!”
Actually, if the high-riding GOP does face a serious threat at the moment it’s coming not from the moderates, but from unreasoning, self-destructive hostility to this...

The Worst Sin
The Ten Commandments is the most morally influential piece of legislation ever written. To give a good idea of how relevant each of the ten is, take the third commandment, one of the two most misunderstood commandments (the other is “Do not Murder,” which I explained previously). Is there such a thing as “the worst […]

Gun Control and the Sydney Siege
Advocates of strict gun control often point to nations like Australia as examples of enlightened policy toward firearms. But all of the regulation didn’t prevent a violent criminal with multiple charges against him—and with known sympathies to Islamic terrorists—from using a shotgun to hold a score of hostages in a café in Sydney.
The gun control did...

The Right Answer on How We’re Different
Brian Williams, the anchorman of NBC news, confronted former CIA director Michael Hayden on the day the Senate released its report on enhanced interrogation techniques.
“How are we better than our enemies, morally, in light of what we all read about today?” the TV journalist demanded.
General Hayden gave a weak answer that minimized his personal...

Correcting Mistakes About Hanukkah
Despite extensive media coverage and rising levels of public partying, the upcoming holiday of Hanukkah (that begins Tuesday night, December 16th) still causes confusion among both Jewish and non-Jewish Americans. No, it’s not a festival of tolerance or a good-natured celebration of freedom of religion. In fact, the authentic meaning of Hanukkah actually...

Ph.D.’s and other False Gods
I have been devoting my columns this month to the Ten Commandments because we need a fixed moral anchor to solve the problem of evil. And nothing is as effective as the Ten Commandments. Two weeks ago PragerUniversity.com released 11 five-minute video courses — one for each Commandment and an introduction. It has received over […]

New GOP Senate should put the brakes on Obama judges
When the 113th Congress departs for good, many will breathe a huge sigh of relief, but none more than Supreme Court watchers of the originalism school.
Here’s an early Happy New Year’s wish for long and happy lives to all nine of the Supreme Court justices, and the genuine hope that none chooses to retire before a new president arrives. But should...
