ALAN KEYES — Private persons can only offer advice and have no coercive power if their advice should not be accepted. And the law should have coercive power in order to induce others effectively to virtue, as the Philosopher says in the Ethics. But the people or a public personage has such coercive power and the right to inflict punishment.... And so, it belongs only to the people or a public personage to make law. Summa, ST I-II, Question 90, Article 3, Reply to Objection 2... (more)

ART MOORE — The FBI has fired agent Peter Strzok, known for exchanging text messages vowing to prevent Donald Trump from being elected while investigating Hillary Clinton's abuse of classified information and later alleged Trump campaign collusion with Russia.... (more)

CHERYL K. CHUMLEY — Leftists have been particularly crafty about clamping down and chilling conservative thought lately, boldly going where milder-mannered censors have previously feared to tread and managing to make several righteous-sounding cases, at least among their circles of progressive types, for the booting of deemed hate speakers from social media. But their censorship argument dangles precariously on the meaningless claim that in America there's no room for hate speech.... (more)

ROBERT KNIGHT — The progressive left is in a panic over the Senate's coming confirmation vote on President Trump's nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. How do we know this? They keep telling us. In a national conference call sponsored by People for the American Way (PFAW), Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts Democrat, said, "We're in the fight of our lives."...

WASHINGTON TIMES — Republicans in a joint session of House committees are set to interview former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr this month to gauge whether a complex conspiracy against Donald Trump existed among Hillary Clinton loyalists and the Justice Department.... (more)

BYRON YORK — In Washington in the 1990s, it was a sure bet that whenever conservative journalists and activists got together, the conversation turned to the Clintons, Kenneth Starr, and the Whitewater investigation. There was a good bit of what one editor memorably called "hush-hush and heavy breathing" when insiders discussed momentous developments that were surely on the way. Somebody knew somebody who had heard from somebody close to Starr that big indictments were imminent -- just around the corner.... (more)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes declared Sunday that Hillary Clinton's campaign "colluded" with nearly every top official in the Justice Department and FBI. An interview on Fox News had turned to the topic of Trump dossier author Christopher Steele and his ties to Bruce Ohr, a high-level DOJ official who fed the FBI information from the ex-British spy even after he was cut as a source for providing confidential information to the media....

WASHINGTON TIMES — A judge late Wednesday signed off on the settlement between the IRS and hundreds of tea party groups, closing out the last major legal battle over what all sides now agree was unwarranted and illegal targeting for political purposes. The IRS agreed to pay $3.5 million to groups that were wronged by the intrusive inspections, and insists it's made changes so that political targeting can't occur in the future.... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — A new piece by The Atlantic purports to explain why the popularity of clinical psychologist Jordan B. Peterson has become an obsession for critics: His "stardom is evidence that leftism is on the decline -- and deeply vulnerable." The bestselling author of "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos" has spent the past year staring down protests on college campuses, enraging the Durham city council and confounding British journalist Cathy Newman. The Atlantic's Caitlin Flanagan says efforts to "unperson" him are underway because he is influencing young people as an intellectual "kryptonite to identity politics."... (more)

NATIONAL REVIEW — A few weeks before I was ordained a Catholic priest in the late autumn of 1994, my superior in the seminary told me that, in his opinion, it was probably the most difficult time in a century to become a priest. Yet, he went on, it was also the most exciting time. I really did not take much notice of what he said. In fact, in my overconfidence, I thought he was talking nonsense.... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — An in-production movie about the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 decision legalizing abortion has attracted more attention for actors it didn't cast than for the recognizable stars it did, a development its writer-director attributes to "fake news." Actor turned filmmaker Nick Loeb said his production of "Roe v. Wade," in which he makes his directorial debut, is under siege by unfriendly media that are reporting erroneously about the film. He cites as a key culprit the Daily Beast, which reported that actors Kevin Sorbo of TV's "Hercules" and Stephen Baldwin of "The Usual Suspects" -- both veterans of faith-based movies -- turned down the project after reading the script....

ART MOORE — The revelation that Sen. Dianne Feinstein had a 20-year employee who spied for China while she chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee takes on greater significance in light of the California Democrat's decades of favors to the communist regime that have co-coincided with China investments that have helped make her one of the richest members in Congress....

WORLDNETDAILY — A clerk's entry of default has been filed against a defendant in a major lawsuit alleging George Soros, Barack Obama, Louis Farrakhan and others incited their supporters to "engage in threats of and attacks to cause serious bodily injury or death upon police officers, Jews and Caucasians."...

HOLLYWOOD REPORTER — A crew laminated vinyl stars and placed them on blank squares in Hollywood.

BRYAN FISCHER — In a development that is almost too Nazi-esque to believe, our own government is working with Planned Parenthood to get "fresh" tissue from aborted babies to produce "humanized mice." Although it is almost impossible to believe, every word you read in that first paragraph is true.... (more)

THE FEDERALIST — "I sometimes say that in my last life maybe I was Chinese."--Sen. Dianne Feinstein. As media, intelligence agency, and political scrutiny of foreign meddling is seemingly at its apex, a story with big national security implications involving a high-ranking senator with access to America's most sensitive intelligence information has been hiding in plain sight....

WASHINGTON TIMES — Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Wednesday the Justice Department would not partner with groups that discriminate against or defame others, singling out the Southern Poverty Law Center for its "hate group" campaign. The attorney general, speaking at the Alliance Defending Freedom Summit on Religious Liberty, accused the SPLC of wielding the "hate" designation as a "weapon ... against conservative organizations that refuse to accept their orthodoxy and choose instead to speak their conscience."...

NATIONAL REVIEW — An Islamic extremist was training as many as eleven children to commit school shootings at a dilapidated compound in New Mexico, according to court documents filed by government prosecutors Wednesday. Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, the son of a suspected co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings, was training the children to use assault rifles before his compound was raided by authorities on Friday, CBS News reports....

BYRON YORK — Emails in 2016 between former British spy Christopher Steele and Justice Department official Bruce Ohr suggest Steele was deeply concerned about the legal status of a Putin-linked Russian oligarch, and at times seemed to be advocating on the oligarch's behalf, in the same time period Steele worked on collecting the Russia-related allegations against Donald Trump that came to be known as the Trump dossier. The emails show Steele and Ohr were in frequent contact, that they intermingled talk about Steele's research and the oligarch's affairs, and that Glenn Simpson, head of the dirt-digging group Fusion GPS that hired Steele to compile the dossier, was also part of the ongoing conversation....

BONNIE CHERNIN — The Netherlands has moved from assisted suicide to euthanasia, from euthanasia for people who are terminally ill to euthanasia for those who are chronically ill, from euthanasia for physical illness to euthanasia for psychological distress, and from voluntary euthanasia to involuntary euthanasia (called "termination of the patient without explicit request.)...
