Friday’s New York Times report by Luke Broadwater covered the continuing drama of the Republican Party’s treatment of Sen.

(diane39/Getty Images) Today’s historians prize emotion over evidence and fiction over fact.

The issue of critical race theory is raising a more fundamental question about our nation: education. Education is about more than teaching children to read and write.

Last month, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s youngest daughter, 23-year-old Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo, came out as “queer” on Instagram. But I guess that didn’t give her enough attention, so this week she had to one-up herself and declare that in addition to being “queer,” she’s also a “demisexual.” What is a demisexual, you ask? Does Demi
Of America’s 46 presidents, only one shares a birthday with the country itself—and he was a mighty fine one at that. Calvin Coolidge, our 30th, was born on July 4, 1872. In the summer of 2023, we will note the centennial of his assuming the presidency but it’s never too soon or too late to

Would carrying a gun make you feel safer? Robert Nash and Brandon Koch thought so. But the state of New York denied them gun permits, saying they hadn’t demonstrated a “special need.” Why did they have to prove such a “need”? The Supreme Court ruled more than 10 years ago that all Americans have a
