Rep. Andy Biggs: The American crossroads is symbolized by mask mandates
America, and my home state, Arizona, are at a crossroads. We have two roads we can take. One is a return to the path of freedom; the other is totalitarianism. This is not necessarily a partisan issue or even a left/right problem. It is a potential permanent alteration of who we are as a people.
Guyana election battle matters to the US
A contested election held on March 2 in the South American nation of Guyana may be more important to the United States than meets the eye. At stake for the people of Guyana is the long-awaited prosperity that could come from its newly acquired status as a major oil-producing nation. At stake for the U.S. is having a stable ally in an unstable part of the world.
MLB players still owe us one for the disgrace of 1994
Reports of a tentative agreement between MLB and the Player’s Association for a short season would be welcome news. To experience the national game, in any form this summer, would give the country a needed lift.How originalism can end police brutality
Our nation’s history on civil rights has been a story of slow and uneven but also unrelenting progress. Such progress has often been aided by influential pieces of legislation, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1871 or the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or constitutional amendments such as the Reconstruction Amendments. As we have sadly seen recently, these legal reforms did not end all bigotry in our nation, but they gave minorities the legal tools to defend their civil rights.COVID-19 points to the usefulness of direct primary care

The federal government's approval process for medicines, treatments, and vaccines is broken, and red tape at the Food and Drug Administration is to blame.
Arizona is ready to reopen, and the numbers show it
The Left is apoplectic that Arizona and the rest of the country are moving to reopen our society. Gov. Doug Ducey is correct that Arizona needs to be open. We have all have been denied fundamental rights during lockdowns. As Arizona opens, we all must understand and mitigate the risks of the coronavirus. But the numbers simply do not support the hysteria that left-wing pundits and their media allies are attempting to foment. They keep shouting that the number of people who have been detected with the virus is up. They are correct, but all of the other measurements put that into context and undermine their panicked claims.

The country is on the clock, and precious time is being wasted.Justice Department can and should prosecute Palestinian war criminals
The International Criminal Court was supposed to pursue rogue regimes unwilling to hold war criminals accountable. Now that the ICC is instead investigating the U.S. and Israel, the Trump administration has laudably taken measures to penalize those who would politicize the court. President Trump can go further, however, by targeting a party fueling the current controversy: the Palestinian Authority.The illegal cover-up of Maryland's anti-choice distance-learning policies

June 16, 2020 12:00 AM Sen. Rick Scott: Fund the police
The single most ridiculous and irresponsible policy idea that has been suggested in my lifetime can be summed up in three words: "Defund the police." And yet, it is actually being discussed and debated as if there are pros and cons to it by those on the Left. There are no “pros” to defunding the police. There are no coherent arguments for this lunacy.
