ART MOORE — A prominent immunologist whose advice has formed the basis for a Michigan State University employee's lawsuit against the insititution's vaccine mandate said Friday he now regrets voting for Joe Biden for president. Dr. Hooman Noorchashm, a former assistant professor of surgery at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, blasted Biden's new sweeping vaccine requirements, charging that to "mandate vaccination of any COVID-recovered American against his/her will is unscientific, unethical and illegal!"...

PJ MEDIA — One recalls C.S. Lewis' dystopian novel That Hideous Strength, a longtime favorite of mine, where he speaks of "false writings" and "men maddened with false promises and soured with true miseries." Lewis held to an apocalyptic vision of moral and intellectual surrender to the idols of mere self-sufficiency and hedonistic indulgence, of a time characterized by the death of meaning and the weakening of belief in a just and merciful God. "The shadow of one dark wing is over all Tellus," the human spirit is being progressively "enclosed," as he describes it. There is not much of the Rapture here, little indication of the new Jerusalem prophesied in Revelation.... (more)

BOB UNRUH — One of the governors who has confirmed plans to fight President Biden's nationwide COVID-19 shots mandate -- an order that apparently covers some 80 million people -- also delivered a devastating assessment of the Democrat in the Oval Office.

JUST THE NEWS — Twelve days before the 20th anniversary of 9/11, President Joe Biden relinquished Afghanistan to the Taliban, the terrorist organization the U.S. had been fighting for 20 years, leaving behind several hundred Americans and $85 billion worth of American weapons, planes, equipment and tanks. As the much-strengthened Taliban quickly consolidated control, the world watched militants perform public executions on video posted online.... (more)

ART MOORE — Hours after President Biden vowed in his announcement of unprecedented, sweeping private-sector vaccine mandates to "take on" governors who oppose his policies, at least 19 Republican governors and several state attorneys general issued statements vowing to exercise their authority and deploy all of the legal tools available to resist. Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, the chairman of the National Governor's Association, was measured in his response, stating "federal government mandates on private businesses are not the right answer."... (more)

PETE RIEHM — It has been twenty years since the cowardly sneak attacks on 9/11, 2001. Americans were shocked when Islamist terrorists crashed airliners full of innocent passengers into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon – and incredibly, some unknown heroes forced the terrorists' evil designs down into a remote field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. About 3,000 people were murdered that day on American soil. It was horrific!... (more)

Wearing skinny jeans, UGG knockoff boots and a pea coat, she carries the swagger of any self-absorbed American teen. Her long dark hair flows thick, smooth and enviable. Her makeup is impeccable -- barring one small flaw. It doesn't perfectly match the shade of her prosthetic nose.... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — The rallying cry "Workers of the world unite" is right from the Communist Manifesto. As we celebrate Labor Day, it's important to remember how the communists historically tried to tap into the anger and discontent of American workers. Herbert Romerstein, who worked for the House Committee on Un-American Activities, the House Internal Security Committee, and the House Intelligence Committee, documented communist manipulation of the organized labor movement in a report for my group America's Survival, Inc....

JAMES LAMBERT — By now, it is quite clear that President Biden has demonstrated his administration's weakness in dealing with foreign policy issues. This is particularly true when it comes to protecting the freedoms of citizens in other countries who have helped us. It is sad that many Americans, as well as a large number of Afghanistan residents who supported us the past 20 years, are now in danger. Biden's pledge to remove all of our own citizens from that troubled country was simply untrue. Now many of these citizens, as well as a number of U.S. citizens abroad, are in danger.... (more)

LOS ANGELES TIMES — The Supreme Court's conservative majority has sent its strongest signal to date that Roe vs. Wade will fall, having given a green light to the nation's second-most populous state to outlaw abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The justices did not overturn the right to abortion in the order they released at 11:58 p.m. Eastern time Wednesday on the Texas case, and they might not formally overrule Roe vs. Wade later this year when they take up a case from Mississippi....

MARK SHEPARD — Virginians, like much of the nation, have been thrust into a number of very unsettling controversies by ideas being pushed upon us. With a disgraceful lack of moral and mature character, the governor steered the state's debates away from adult arenas and instead chose to put Virginia's children in the front lines of this battle with his administration's mandates and financial arm-twisting on public schools. Should children be put into unhealthy masks again? Should they be taught to categorize people into inescapable castes with Critical Race Theory? Should we pretend gender is defined by feeling rather than biology? No wonder parents are upset!... (more)

MICHAEL GAYNOR — Voters paying attention (and it is tempting for many not to do so) are suffering from buyer's remorse, but that pales before the needless deaths in an evacuation that could and should have been avoided and the consequences that will follow from bullies around the world feeling emboldened. President Trump did not call for, much less lead, an insurrection last January, but now that America's military forces are all out of Afghanistan, watch for "progressive" Democrats" and the "mainstream" media desperate to deflect from President Biden's Afghanistan fiasco by pretending otherwise....
