Abortion, Democracy and History
- By Star Parker
When Sen. Stephen Douglas and Abraham Lincoln faced off in a debate in Peoria, Illinois, in 1854, the issue tearing apart the nation was slavery.
A central issue was whether slavery would be permitted in new territories entering the union.
Douglas' answer to the question was politics. Lincoln's answer was morality and the Bible.
Douglas' answer to slavery in new states, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, was democracy. Citizens would vote to permit or not permit slavery in their state.

Why Are Blacks Still on Board With Biden?
- By Star Parker
New polling from Pew Research and from NY Times/Siena College, released a few days apart, cast similarly dismal pictures regarding the popularity of President Joe Biden.
Overall approval for Biden from NY Times/Siena College stands at 33% and from Pew 37%.
However, both polls show approval for the president much stronger than the national average among minorities.
The NY Times/Siena college poll shows Black approval for Biden at 62%, which, according to the Times, is higher than "any other race or ethnicity, age group or education level."

'Agency': An Important New Book About America
- By Star Parker
The Gallup polling organization seems to serve up endlessly bleak news about how Americans feel about God and country.
I wrote recently about their report of the historically low percentage of Americans that say they believe in God.
Now Gallup reports that a historically low number of Americans believe in ourselves and our country.
The percentage of Americans who now say, per Gallup, they are "extremely proud" of their country is at a historically low 38%.

SCOTUS Decisions Will Change Political Landscape
- By Star Parker
With the Supreme Court concluding one of the most historic and consequential terms in its history, it leaves in its wake consequences and implications for the direction of our country.
One very important result may well be a movement of Black and Hispanic voters to the right.
It is reasonable to conclude that conservatives are happy with where this court has taken us and liberals are not happy.
More specifically, those who believe in the original vision of the country, that it is about individual liberty and that the Constitution is designed to limit the federal government to few and well-defined areas, are happy.

Court Restores Culture of Life
- By Star Parker
The cries from the left predicting the end of the world in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is a familiar sound.
We heard the same after the historic reform in welfare in 1996 when Aid to Families with Dependent Children, which effectively subsidized low-income women to have children out of marriage, was replaced with Temporary Assistance for Needy Families -- which introduced the idea of workfare.
The reform, the left screamed, would throw low-income women mercilessly to the streets. But the result was quite the opposite. We had a dramatic decrease in welfare cases and increase in work among low-income women.

Faith and Freedom Go Together
- By Star Parker
Per a new report from Gallup, the percentage of Americans now saying they believe in God is the lowest since they first started doing the survey.
In 2022, 81% of Americans say they believe in God.
When Gallup first asked this question in 1944, 96% said they believed, and in the early 1950s, it was up to 98%. It remained over 90% until 2013, when it dipped down to 87%.
The current 81% is a 6-point drop from the last time Gallup asked the question in 2017.

US Inflation Starts in Washington, not Moscow
- By Star Parker
President Joe Biden spoke at the Port of Los Angeles the other day and addressed the issue foremost on the minds of Americans today -- inflation.
And in the spirit of a tried and true liberal, he blamed everyone in the world for a problem that he is responsible for.
Apparently, our president believes that Vladimir Putin is running America.
"We've never seen anything like Putin's tax on both food and gas. ... Putin's price hike is hitting America hard. ... I'm doing everything in my power to blunt Putin's price hike and bring down the cost of gas and food."
