Abortion, a Sickness in Our National Soul
- Details
- By Star Parker
The resounding defeat of Issue 1 in a statewide vote in Ohio is rightly seen as a repudiation of pro-life forces and cause for soul-searching in the movement.
The initiative, which would have raised the threshold vote for amending the state constitution, was understood to be about abortion, because a ballot measure is expected in November to amend the state constitution to secure abortion "rights."
The measure was defeated 57% to 43% in a state in which Donald Trump defeated Joe Biden in 2020, 53.3% to 45.2%.
A Case for Trump to Not Debate
- Details
- By Star Parker
With Mike Pence now qualifying for the Republican debate in Milwaukee on Aug. 23, there are now eight candidates qualified to participate.
However, one of those eight is former President Donald Trump, who suggests that he is not inclined to show up.
"When you have a big lead, you don't do it," noted Trump.
"Am I going to stand up there by guys with zero, one, two, three percent -- maybe four -- and have them ask me hostile questions?"
Mesha Mainor, Shining Star for Freedom

- By Star Parker
Republicans have a new shining star for the 2024 presidential election in the way of Georgia State Rep. Mesha Mainor.
Mainor, an African American who has been serving the Georgia state legislature since January 2021, announced two weeks ago that she is leaving the Democratic Party and becoming a Republican.
This is a decision of notable courage in that District 56 that she represents, located in the area around Atlanta, is deep blue.
Chris Christie's Grade B Candidacy
- Details
- By Star Parker
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is getting a lot of media -- way out of proportion to the impact he has made as a candidate, measured by his low standing in the polls and the very modest amount of money he has raised.
The explanation for this seems clear. The media loves his sharp and aggressive animosity to and criticism of former President Donald Trump.
But the American people are looking for a leader. Could Chris Christie be that man?
More Thoughts on Affirmative Action
- Details
- By Star Parker
Following the Supreme Court decision finding preferential treatment, i.e., affirmative action, in college admissions unconstitutional, the president of Harvard issued a statement to "Members of the Harvard Community."
This statement tells us how those managing one of the nation's most prestigious universities understand justice, knowledge and learning.
First, let's consider what Harvard's president does not say, which is to recognize the importance of "equal protection."
A Black Plan for Mike Pence
- Details
- By Star Parker
Mike Pence is trailing former President Donald Trump by some 50 points in national polling.
It's no great revelation that the former vice president needs some major breakthroughs to be considered a serious and viable candidate for 2024.
But all is possible, and here is one approach.
I call it the Pence Black Plan.
How About a Presidential Campaign About Vision and Principles?
- Details
- By Star Parker
With the most recent entry of former Vice President Mike Pence and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie into the presidential race, I count now 12 Republican candidates in the field.
Former President Donald Trump retains a strong lead in the polls, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis a strong second.
But it is still very early in the game, and even the most casual observer of politics knows that the situation is fluid and what will be remains to be seen.
