THE DEBATE
Hunter Biden Got a Sweetheart Deal and Everyone Knows It
The DOJ gave Hunter Biden VIP service. But even worse is the fact that no one seems interested in getting to the bottom of the Biden family corruption.
VS
Sorry MAGA: If Hunter's Name Wasn't Biden, He'd Never Have Been Charged
The summer will be filled with conspiracy theories dressed up as Congressional hearings. I'm sure the illegally obtained laptop will have a prominent role too.
Free College Will Only Deepen the Class Divide
Free college only deepens the class divide, perpetuating the belief that you need a college degree to be productive and provide insight as an employee.
VS

Fighting Climate Change Is Part of Fighting for Climate Justice
Climate justice is the intersection of the climate crisis, social justice, and environmental justice, and must be addressed simultaneously with an inclusive and sustainable climate justice movement.
VS
Climate Activism—Not Climate Change—Is the Real Racist Force.
A movement that often talks about "genocide by the global North" remains silent on the genocide that their environmental extremism will cause in Africa.
Drag Is Never Appropriate for Kids
Some cultural experiences are simply meant for adults and drag is one of them. They are not clowns or cartoon characters.
VS
Yes, Some Drag Is Explicit. But a Lot of It Is Family Friendly
Fans of freedom should be fans of drag, for drag is, at its core, a celebration of freedom.
No, We're Not Heading to a Recession, Despite What the Pundits Say
Whenever the next recession hits, it promises to be short-lived. One more Fed hike of 25 basis points or a prolonged pause won't change that reality one iota.
VS
It's Starting To Look Like 2008 All Over Again
Surveying the current economic landscape, it would take something resembling a miracle to pull the economy out of its current stagnation and avoid a recession.
Prosecuting Donald Trump Only Makes Him More Popular
Trump is resilient. Every day, he luxuriates in free publicity generously provided by all major media outlets.
VS
Trump Deserves to Live Out His Life in Prison. Here's Why

It's Time to Decriminalize Personal Possession of All Drugs. Yes—All of 'Em
Decriminalization alone is not the solution, but must be part of a broader strategy that is grounded in health policy and invests in harm reduction.
VS
Today's Drugs Are Anything but 'Recreation'
Protecting public health and helping more individuals achieve healthy, drug-free lives must remain the top priority when developing drug policies.
Enough With the Vanity Campaigns. Biden and Only Biden Is Our Guy
West's exercise in futility is nothing more than a Black intellectual losing his stronghold on the Black community and grasping at relevance.
VS
Cornel West for President
The American working class didn't pick this fight. We just wanted to live our lives peacefully, raise our families, and find some kind of stability.
Ukraine Must Not Be Allowed to Join NATO
There are a number of enthusiastic and distinguished advocates for providing NATO membership, and thus a U.S. security guarantee, to Ukraine.
VS
Ukraine Must Win and We Must Make Sure of It
America must help Ukraine for the same reasons we helped Europe defeat Nazi Germany: Their fight is our fight.
You Can't Win an Election by Fighting 'Woke'—Not in This Economy
As outraged as some people are by the attacks on traditional nostrums by those who count themselves among the woke, there aren't enough of them to win.
VS
The Culture War Is the Class War. We Need To Win Both
Many people, certainly most Republicans, understand that the culture war is ultimately a struggle for power between competing visions of America.
The Senate is Right to Reject Biden's Student Loan Bailout for the Rich
The President's student debt bailout runs roughshod over the Constitution, does nothing to solve the problem of high tuition costs, and benefits the rich.
VS
Student Loan Forgiveness Is an Urgent Racial Justice Issue
There is an undeniable subset of Americans who are helplessly crippled beneath the weight of student debt, and minorities are disproportionately among them.
Pride Has Been Taken Over by Radical Activists. We Must Get Back to Basics
What it has turned into doesn't seem to be working for anyone—but what it started as and what it can be again is something worth fighting for, not ending.
VS
This Pride, Brands Need to Stand by the Trans Community
Where Bud Light and Target went wrong is simple: they let a coordinated political attack on LGBTQ people, led by a handful of activists and extremists, take their businesses hostage.
The Winner of the Debt Ceiling Deal Is Undoubtedly Kevin McCarthy
Getting Democrats to negotiate the debt ceiling after months of them pledging never to do so is a win—a big one.
VS
The Debt Ceiling Deal Is an Epic Victory for President Biden
The Biden White House has struggled to communicate its wins. They need to fix their messaging. Winning the debt ceiling fight is among his top accomplishments.
Corporations Will Never Appease Anti-LGBTQ Boycotters—They Want to Be Angry
If you're a corporate marketing officer concerned over what's happening with Target, let me make something abundantly clear: you will never appease anti-LGBTQ extremists.
VS
Grassroots Boycotts Against Woke Corporations Are Working
First Bud Light, now Target—corporations that tried to push transgender ideology on their customers have faced enormous backlash.
Stop Calling Erdogan a Dictator. Dictators Don't Go to Runoffs
The U.S. media seems to want to export its own problems—probably the best sign that democracy is alive and well in Turkey.
VS
Suprise, Surprise: Turkey's Authoritarian Leader Wins Again
Erdogan is an authoritarian—what commentators used to call a "strongman." That there will be a May 28 presidential runoff vote between Erdogan and his chief opponent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, doesn't change that fact.
Banning TikTok Won't Protect Kids. It's the Opening to Internet Censorship
If the pandemic taught me anything, it was that our government is filled with inept actors who will rationalize even harmful things in the name of "security."
VS
Of Course We Should Ban TikTok. It's Dangerous for our Kids
One way or another, Washington—and not state governments like that of Montana—must act to shut down TikTok as soon as possible.
