Just war theory makes the world numb to human slaughter. Dead children, and all other innocent victims, become abstractions, collateral damage. It’s almost as though the role of lone-nut mass murderers — killers who clearly have no moral justification to walk into a shopping mall or school classroom or bowling alley and start shooting — is to remind the world that lives are precious and murders equal hell.

      If we’re going to realize the climate benefits of historic federal support for clean energy and jobs approved in the last two years, connections are the key. And I’m not just talking about electrifying homes and buildings.

    The Pentagon lists more than 180 times in the past two years during which US and Chinese jets have narrowly avoided collisions, all due—the Pentagon says—to “coercive and risky” maneuvering by the Chinese. Whether or not the fault lies entirely with China, as was the case in 2001 when a US navy intelligence aircraft collided with a Chinese jet, precipitating a crisis in relations, the danger is evident.

   The Broward Sheriff’s Office has recently garnered national and international recognition for exceptional performance across all aspects of our public safety operations.

Many believe that the new Speaker Johnson is an extreme MAGA supporter.

   Both America and Israel can’t and should never   allow any of its enemies, especially weak unsophisticated ones, to launch a surprise attack killing thousands of its citizens. They must be ever so cognizant of how their own foreign policies and suppressive tactics create an endless slate of enemies. Regrettably, failure to prevent such attacks gives rise to the scourge of deadly vengeance.

     America’s rejection of God has empowered elites to nullify the affirming first words to the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution and the encouraging last words of the Gettysburg Address.

     In state legislatures across the country the “right to repair” movement is gaining momentum. Thirty-three states and Puerto Rico considered right to repair legislation during the 2023 legislative session. And while this might be a good idea for some products, policymakers should oppose any attempts to weaken regulated safety requirements for repairing life-saving and life-enhancing medical devices. Patient safety is too great a risk.
