Davidson: The need for the Electoral College as illustrated by baseball

By Jeff Davidson | TownHall.com Democrats are upset when a Republican who did not win the popular vote is elected president by virtue of winning at least 270 electoral votes. This happened most recently in 2000 and 2016. I would be upset if the tables were turned.  Nevertheless, the need for the Electoral College is often misunderstood. Volumes have been written about the process. An easy way to understand it involves reviewing the results of baseball’s 1960 World Series – yes, you read this correctly. In the 1960 World Series, the New York Yankees had sluggers such as Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Yogi Berra, Hector Lopez, Tony Kubek, and Bill Skowron. They established an American League home run record that year: 193. The Yankees also had a tremendous pitching staff led by fu...

Reichert: The military’s biggest problem is readiness, not recruiting

By PHILIP REICHERT | The Federalist The ongoing military recruiting crisis has dominated headlines, with the Army, Air Force, and Navy all falling short of their goals last year. Concerns over readiness and talent attraction are widespread, even being a core focus of this year’s Heritage Foundation index of military strength. However, attributing the recruiting crisis to “woke culture” or inadequate benefits misses a more intuitive root cause: Without a just war to ignite our patriotism, Americans are not in a rush to enlist. But recruiting soldiers isn’t the real issue; it’s the readiness of our military infrastructure that should alarm us. Gen. Patton once said, “Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.” The statement captu...

Gaines: My experience with wolves, Gov. Polis and the legal system

By Cory Gaines | Colorado Accountability Project We have finally approached the end of our settlement.  I won't go into the gory details (if you want more, I linked to Rachel Gabel's contemporaneous op ed below), but back in January of this year, I testified at a Colorado Parks and Wildlife commissioners meeting.  I was quite critical of the way that they handled their business.   I was cut off by the head commissioner and then booted from this meeting.  Thanks to the Public Trust Institute taking my case pro bono, I was able to do more than just gripe to friends. I truly appreciate their taking my case, because, outside of Mrs. Gabel and a tiny mention by Shaun Boyd, no one else in the media seemed to care about the loss of my First Amendment rights an...

Barnhart: Why is no level of abortion ever enough?

By Faye Barnhart | Guest Columnist We know that the multi-billion-dollar abortion industry makes its money from abortion, so we can follow the money. We know that taking the lives of innocent human beings is itself hellish and the practice demonic and an important ‘religious’ rite in satanic devil worship. We know that allowing such evil tears at the very fabric of a society, the family, and individual in ways that God has historically judged and dispossessed nations because of the horrible injustice of it. Abortion intentionally takes the life of a healthy, innocent, tiny living infant through poison, scalding, dismemberment, or other inhumane and painful torture, including stabbing them as they struggle to be born or leaving a child who has managed to survive to starve to death on ...

Walcher: The EPA’s end run around the Supreme Court

By GREG WALCHER | GregWalcher.com An “end run” was once a common football term, describing an offensive play in which the ball carrier runs around the end of the defensive line. But today it is more often used rhetorically to describe a strategic dodge, any maneuver to bypass, circumvent, or sidestep. It’s more common in politics than in football. Many Westerners celebrated earlier this year when the Supreme Court finally declared once and for all that “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) does not include every creek, pond, ditch, puddle, and parking lot drain in the country. EPA spent nearly a decade trying to use WOTUS as the regulatory tool for a vast expansion of federal jurisdiction, to include virtually all activity that touches any water, ignoring the plain language...

Krannawitter: Campaign finance reform is to blame for prosecution of Trump

By THOMAS L. KRANNAWITTER, PH.D. | Liberty Lyceum Substack Campaign finance laws—not merely McCain-Feingold—were at the heart of the recent jury conviction of Donald Trump. A more accurate title, therefore, could be: Revenge of Campaign Finance Reform Laws. The essence of campaign finance laws and regulations should be offensive—even outrageous—to self-governing United States citizens. Imagine those in government commanding how and when and whether you spend your own money, and then demanding detailed reports when you do. That’s what campaign finance reform laws are all about: Controlling the many in ways that benefit established, incumbent political elites.

Prager: Why Americans mistrust election results more than the citizens of any other democracy

By Dennis Prager | TownHall.com Last week, 27 European nations voted for their representatives in the European Parliament. If you were aware of this, did you happen to notice that there were no allegations of cheating in any European country? If you are on the left, you might respond that there were no such allegations because the right did better than the left, and it's the right that makes these allegations. But that response has little merit. For one thing, there were no such allegations, let alone demonstrations, during all the years left-wing parties won European Parliamentary elections or national elections. For another, in America, it is not only the right that has charged election fraud: Hillary Clinton, for example, still claims the 2016 election was stolen from her. T...

Paulson: It’s Trump’s time to shine

By Terry Paulson | TownHall.com Former President Trump could easily be over-confident going into the June debate. President Joe Biden isn't even comfortable answering questions from friendly media who want him to look good. He struggles even when he has note cards. Can you imagine how he might perform in the debate when he doesn't know the questions or Donald Trump's response. Even many in his own party are worried about him not performing well.  It almost makes you wonder if this could be the Democrats' plan. A poor performance in the debates could increase the calls for Biden to step down and not run for four more years. With the next scheduled debate being in September and their Chicago convention in August, Democrats would have time to let Biden withdraw with honor and still...

Swearer: These accounts of defensive gun use speak volumes

By Amy Swearer | The Daily Signal It seems that many gun control activists want to take your guns so badly that they’re willing to take your voice, too. And increasingly, the war for the Second Amendment involves battles waged on a First Amendment front. Just ask the National Rifle Association, which last week needed the Supreme Court to vindicate its right to free speech against New York’s attempts to suppress the gun rights organization’s pro-Second Amendment views. New York’s unconstitutional assault on a Second Amendment advocacy group was, unfortunately, far from the first time that gun control activists have attacked the lawful gun industry and lawful gun owners by threatening their right to speak freely.
