Bruce Thornton, From: Defining Ideas. President Trump once again has enraged the left by suggesting, with colorful language no less, that NFL players who kneel during the national anthem should be fired by their teams. Progressives criticized Trump’s lack of presidential decorum, racial insensitivity, and disrespect of the players’ First Amendment rights—and the head of the NFL
Larry Schweikart, This column was co-authored by Dave Dougherty. Often, the Revolutionary War is compared to all the other bloody revolutions of the 19th century. Contrary to popular belief, the American colonists were after more than just revenge, wealth, or fame. They were after the protection of their homeland and inborn rights that their country
Michael Brown, In the aftermath of the horrific suicide bombing, the mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, wanted to make one thing perfectly clear. The man who blew himself was a terrorist, not a Muslim. To quote him directly, “The message that I would want to get over – and this is how the vast
Larry Elder, The exciting recent Super Bowl meant that fans paid more attention to the game than to the commercials. But there were some doozies, including the 84 Lumber commercial that sympathetically depicted a Latina mother and her young daughter trying to cross the border and enter America, only to encounter a foreboding wall. Hint,
Emmett Tyrrell, WASHINGTON — For me the football season begins in mid-December (when everyone becomes serious) and ends at the Super Bowl (when everyone becomes deathly serious). This year it ended with the longest Super Bowl in history. Though I am the epitome of punctuality, I let the season go into the first overtime in
Wayne Allyn Root, Don’t look now but liberals lost- again. And Donald Trump just won- again. His winning streak continues. Will liberals blame Putin and Russia for rigging the Super Bowl?

Daniel Leberfeld, Sports play as an escape from real world negativity. Unfortunately, the sports and political worlds collide quite a bit recently. Whatever your political persuasion, the actual game on Super Bowl Sunday should prove fun to watch. Neither the cast of the Mike Pence-hating musical Hamilton singing “America the Beautiful” pregame nor activist-singer Lady
The New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons enjoyed an easy day ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl, paying separate visits to NRG Stadium on Saturday to get acclimated with the site of the title game. Both teams wrapped up their final on-field practices on Friday in good health and optimistic about their chances of lifting the
Christine Rousselle, The Super Bowl is this Sunday and will feature the New England Patriots against the Atlanta Falcons. For The New York Times Magazine, this game is actually a feature of the “uncomfortable love affair” between the Patriots and President Donald Trump. […]No sports team has been more closely associated with a new president,
Frank Miniter, Can the mainstream media have it both ways, even with the Super Bowl? Many in the media like to feign being above the political fray as they talk about about the partisan divide separating not just political parties, but also so much of America into red- and blue-leaning precincts. But then they step
Dr. Marc Siegel, Football, supposedly the ultimate physical game, is in fact almost entirely mental. This is why New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who is injured and can’t play in Super Bowl LI on Sunday, can still inspire his team by dressing as a caveman and performing the first ever “prehistoric” high-five and
Brendan Kirby, AG nominee accused of insulting Dominicans for quoting U.S. official on chain migration. The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday advanced the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) for attorney general, but not before Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) excoriated his Senate colleague for allegedly maligning Dominicans.
