How far will New York Gov. Kathy Hochul go to keep immigrant criminals in this country? So far, she'll even pardon a man convicted of an aggravated felony, if that's what it takes to prevent the United States Supreme Court from setting a restrictionist precedent. Keisy Guerrero Mariano ...
Like most Americans who were adults on Sept. 11, 2001, my life is divided into "before" and "after" 9/11. I awoke to a phone call from a friend at the airport, where her flight had been canceled, and turned on the TV just a few minutes before the second plane hit the World Trade Center ...
A failed war does not end when the drones stop flying. It creates a new danger: A government that refuses to admit defeat and a president who, having failed abroad, seeks muscular victories elsewhere. The war against Iran is a case study in the limits of military power, the dangers of ...
Did you celebrate labor last Monday, Labor Day? I did. But not organized labor. At least I get to choose. Organized labor isn't a fan of choice. Joining CBS in NYC, I was told: "You must join (and pay dues to) SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild -- American Federation of TV and Radio ...
On Sept. 11, 2001, I was a 12-year-old boy living in England. Because of the five-hour time difference, I first learned that something had happened as the school day drew to a close. It wasn't until I got home later that afternoon that I saw the images of the Twin Towers burning thousands of ...

A farmer can't make his plants grow, but he can create the conditions that lead to their flourishing. A society can't make its citizens virtuous, but it can nurture the institutions that lead to virtuous citizens. Great thinkers in Western civilization have long noted the importance of ...
History illuminates the present. I've been reading Stephen Kotkin's widely and justly praised multivolume biography of Joseph Stalin and have encountered many passages that illuminate the present. I learned, for example, that Stalin met the exiled Vladimir Lenin more than a decade before ...
As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 nears, the biggest disgrace is that the attack's evil mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, has not been tried and sentenced to death. Blame the American Civil Liberties Union, in large part, for this injustice. The ACLU intervened at the start, insisting that ...
The trial of Lindsay Clancy forces us to confront a tragedy almost beyond human comprehension: A mother killed her three young children -- 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan -- inside their Massachusetts home. We must begin with those children. They were innocent, ...
