Calm down and think, America. While everyone’s undies are in a bunch over Donald Trump’s proposal for a Muslim immigration moratorium, it is undeniable in a time of “heightened alert” — when violent jihadists have no problem targeting their enemies here and around the world — that national security profiling is imperative to our survival.

What should we do about terrorism? After the attacks on Paris, the French government passed a law that allows anyone suspected of being a security threat to be placed under house arrest and searches to be conducted without warrants. Reason’s Anthony Fisher reports that this can lead to nasty experiences for anyone who associates with […]

Most college students do not belong in college. I am not by myself in this assessment. Washington Post columnist Robert Samuelson said, “It’s time to drop the college-for-all crusade,” adding that “the college-for-all crusade has outlived its usefulness.” Richard Vedder, professor emeritus of economics at Ohio University, reports that “the U.S. Labor Department says the […]

The dictionary defines “bogeyman” as “an imaginary evil spirit, referred to typically to frighten children.” Hello, Donald Trump. It’s not clear whether he set out intentionally to elect Hillary Clinton, but there is little question that he could not be fulfilling the role of Republican bogeyman to greater effect. As Commentary’s Jonathan Tobin noted, during […]

Over the past year, while the U.S. economy has continually missed expectations, Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen has assured all who could stay awake during her press conferences that it was strong enough to withstand tighter monetary policy. In delivering months of mildly tough talk (with nothing in the way of action), Yellen began stressing […]

PARIS — Candidates in the U.S. presidential race would be wise to pay attention to what’s happening in France. Over the weekend, France’s so-called “far-right” National Front won 27.7 percent of the national vote in the first of two regional election rounds. Anyone looking at this result through a strictly ideological lens risks oversimplifying it. […]

On Dec. 9, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a constitutional challenge to racial preferences in college admissions. These preferences obviously hurt whites and Asians turned down to make room for less qualified minorities. Ironically the preferences also harm many Hispanics and African-Americans — the very students that are supposed to be helped. No wonder […]

Months ago, a concerned American at a school in Texas spotted a 14-year-old Muslim boy toting around a contraption that looked very much like a bomb. That Texan called the police, who came and detained the boy; after learning that the boy’s device was actually a disassembled clock, they released him. Weeks ago, a concerned […]

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel — the Democrat who suppressed a police video of a white cop killing a black teenager in order keep black votes and win re-election — has a favorite saying. “Chicago is the most American of American cities,” Emanuel has said, repeatedly. “It’s not just any city. If you want to come […]

The president says: “ISIL is not Islamic,” despite the fact that Islamic is in their name. “ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple,” he adds.   Before I go any further, let me clarify Obama’s steadfast insistence on using the term ISIL instead of ISIS. ISIS is the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, […]
