Marijuana Should Remain a Schedule I Drug

Just because “everyone is doing it,” doesn’t make it good. No better substance exemplifies that sentiment in the present age than marijuana.

Wielding Executive Power to Stamp Out Ivy League Antisemitism

Deception About the Crisis in Gaza: Hamas is Starving Women, Children, and Hostages

Why is Gaza starving? The answer is tragic but simple: starvation is Hamas’s strategy. A suffering populace makes for effective leverage on the global stage.
