PARKER: Mike Pence’s important new book about the USA

Former Vice President Mike Pence is now promoting his new book, "What Conservatives Believe: Rediscovering the American Conscience." Distinct from most stuff appearing now for the nation's 250th birthday, Pence's book is targeted not at the nation as whole, but at the Republican Party in ...

HARROP: Loneliness: People do need people

Ashley, North Dakota, is a small farming town where the local diet leans hard on sausage, deep-fried chicken and strudel. It has something of a medical center, but the nearest trauma hospital able to handle the most serious injuries is almost four hours away in Fargo. Yet the elders in ...

MCCLURE: The invisible forces that keep the doors open

We're not southern enough to be yes, ma'am or no, sir, but I try to nudge manners into my kids' daily interactions with strangers. Today, I nudged him when I saw two women cross the parking lot and asked him to open the restaurant door. One of the women was older and one much younger, maybe a ...

GRAHAM: Ali Velshi’s ‘deep unease’ over America at 250

One way you can appreciate that America is a free country is that the Left feels free to dump on the 250th anniversary of America's founding. The New Yorker can ask "How Problematic Is Patriotism?" Their answer is "very problematic." MS NOW host Ali Velshi channeled this spirit on May 31. He ...

Guest opinion: Sharing my playbook on political disagreement

Jaxson Dart, New York Giants quarterback, introduced President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in New York. Abdul Carter, New York Giants outside linebacker, called his quarterback out on social media posting, “What we doing man?” This led to a closed-door Giants team meeting, during which ...

JOECKS: How to help boys

It would be better for boys if society stopped expecting them to act like girls. A Texas mom recently shared a video of her son at his kindergarten graduation. The clip shows him squirming in his chair, playing with his hands and stretching over his seat. She captioned the video, "You're ...
