Op-ed

Modern history provides troubling proof that loss of liberty is preceded by disarmament of citizens. This week, the most obvious example is right before our eyes as we watch the Cuban people pleading for freedom. 

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), in a ‘Newsweek’ op-ed, said his trip to the southern border was the worst “crisis” President Joe Biden’s policies have created. 

Gabriel Sterling, the chief operating officer and chief financial officer for the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, published an op-ed Wednesday calling out President Joe Biden’s lies on Georgia’s voter integrity bill. 

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) authored an op-ed Monday in USA Today titled, “The Senate’s filibuster is Kentucky’s veto. It stops radical agendas,” to talk about ending the filibuster, which would “tear every last scrap of comity from Washington.”

Elites’ reckless applause for transgenderism is a massive medical threat to vulnerable kids who may otherwise grow up as gay or lesbian, says an op-ed by two university biologists.

As the freshman senator from Utah, Mitt Romney is a long way from the presidency. That has to be especially tough on a two-time presidential loser with You-Know-Who sitting in the Oval Office, a guy who took the brass ring by doing the exact opposite of what you did.

Some see the piece as a message to voters, coming less than 60 days before a midterm election where Democrats threaten to take the House.

“To the writer of the oped — You are not protecting this country, you are sabotaging it with your cowardly actions,” she wrote in a statement sent to reporters.

“It’s not mine,” Pompeo told reporters during his trip to India.

If the “senior official” who published an anonymous op-ed bashing President Donald Trump in the New York Times on Wednesday was hoping for accolades from the opposition, he or she must have been sorely disappointed, as the media’s leftists and Never Trumpers accused the author of cowardice for failing to take the extra step of removing Trump altogether.

If the “senior official” were a true patriot, or even just an “adult in the room,” he or she would resign in protest. Instead, the author chooses to keep a prestigious job and generous paycheck, while helping the New York Times take down the president.

Professor Amy Wax of the University of Pennsylvania Law School claims that a controversial op-ed she penned for a local paper last August ruined her progressive colleague’s summer break.

“I would never presume to understand anything going on with that individual nor would I think that she could presume what’s going on with me or the way that I am responding,” Sanders replied when questioned by reporters.

Politics has a nasty habit of trumping good policy. In the case of so-called sanctuary cities, it also manages to overwhelm our otherwise well-honed commitment to the rule of law.

You’re probably heard the criticism of Ambassador John Bolton by the left that he would not be a good choice to be the next Secretary of State because Bolton was an architect of the Iraq War and a hawk who has little use for diplomacy.

Susan Collins, like the rest of the NeverTrump faction, is about preening, not principle. She would rather cede the White House, and the Supreme Court, than endure Trump’s poor taste. That is pure, elitist vanity.

Throughout the past year, several op-eds appearing in California publications promoted the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal, but the Huffington Post is reporting that several of those op-eds use identical language from lobbyists who were retained by foreign governments, specifically Japan, to push support for the controversial trade agreement in the United States.
