Lenin’s Legacy - Roy Mathews

Jan 31, 2024 | lawliberty.org | Roy Mathews |David Schaefer |Samuel Gregg |Marcus Witcher

Sunday, January 21, 2024, was a day of celebration for the committed Left and within higher education. Many Communists across the world marched, gave speeches, and mourned the passing of the founder of one of the world’s most brutal regimes. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known by his revolutionary pseudonym V. I.
When Truth Is Lost in Translation – Roy Mathews

Jan 5, 2024 | lawliberty.org | Roy Mathews |Adam Tomkins |Oren Cass |Graham McAleer

Narratives concerning the marginalized have come to dominate American institutions and popular culture. The plight of a plethora of minorities is regularly alluded to, from Justice Jackson’s allusions to America’s “legacy of discrimination” in her dissent of SFFA v. Harvard to the numerous months dedicated to racial and sexual minorities.
The prisoner's dilemma of old politicians refusing to retire

Aug 31, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Adam Carrington |Matt Weidinger |Roy Mathews |Ian Haworth

During a media gaggle in Covington, Kentucky, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) appeared to experience a scary medical episode, trailing off, remaining unresponsive, and freezing in front of reporters while staring out into space. This is the second time in just a matter of weeks that McConnell has suddenly stopped speaking during a public event. Last month, he remained silent for an agonizing 19 seconds before being escorted away from cameras and reporters by Wyoming’s Sen.
Sacrificing tomorrow's breakthrough for today's treatment

Aug 31, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Matt Weidinger |Max Eden |Mackenzie Eaglen |Roy Mathews

America’s healthcare system needs to learn how to delay gratification. The practice of teaching patience for a more valuable and longer-lasting reward may sound like it has more to do with parenting than medicine. Yet, withrecent price controls floated by the Biden administration’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, some people will be getting short-term relief from drug costs at the expense of future medical breakthroughs.
Where are the energy stamps, Joe?

Aug 31, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Roy Mathews |Max Eden |Mackenzie Eaglen |Matt Weidinger

As summer temperatures rise, the Biden administration has pushed its green energy agenda hard — all the while ignoring the financial pain those policies disproportionately cause lower-income Americans. Last month, the Department of Transportation released fuel economy standards constituting a de facto mandate to purchase new electric vehicles. With the average EV price , government subsidies may help the well-off but do nothing for lower-income consumers who can afford only gas-powered vehicles.
Despite having a real villain, media create a fake one in DeSantis

Aug 31, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Matt Weidinger |Roy Mathews |Max Eden |Kimberly Ross

As a successful, popular leader in his state and current GOP presidential candidate, Gov. Ron DeSantis is often portrayed as a villain by the national media. After DeSantis signed the Parental Rights in Education Law, some in the media shared hyperbolic accounts of LGBT Floridians fleeing the state or considering it, as if their very lives were threatened by the legislation.
Court slaps down the FDA again for illegally dropping abortion pill rules

Aug 21, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Victoria Lynn Churchill |Roy Mathews |James Carafano |Thomas Jipping

On Wednesday, for the second time, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit concluded that the Food and Drug Administration violated federal law when it removed safety restrictions for mifepristone, the drug used for a majority of abortions in the United States. But despite the intense focus on the FDA’s decision to remove these restrictions, this case is more about whether the FDA followed the law in doing so. Here’s how we got here.
Paraguay’s new president presents strategic cooperation opportunities for US

Aug 21, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Victoria Lynn Churchill |Roy Mathews |James Carafano |Anthony Kim

Paraguay merits Washington’s elevated attention as the country just inaugurated a new president interested in promoting economic freedom, combating corruption, and building alliances with democratic nations. Paraguay is an important U.S. ally in a South America where many nations are turning away from the U.S. toward China and toward increasingly socialist governance.
Don Beyer’s gun tax would disarm his constituents in dangerous times

Aug 21, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Roy Mathews |James Carafano |Diana Furchtgott-Roth

Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) proposed a 1,000% excise tax on firearms earlier this month. If passed, the tax would affect the whole nation, but especially his district, which covers the cities of Arlington, Alexandria, and Falls Church, as well as parts of Fairfax County. As one of Beyer’s constituents, I’m personally concerned by how this tax would leave me and my neighbors defenseless in the face of rising crime rates across the Washington metro region and northern Virginia in particular.
The administrative state

Aug 18, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Adam Carrington |Matt Weidinger |Roy Mathews |James Bacon

The administrative state is starting to panic. Its bureaucrats thrive on remaining in the shadows, but in the last year, they’ve had a massive spotlight shown on them. Several presidential candidates have pledged to dismantle the deep state, and the conservative movement’s Project 2025 — a plan to gut the bureaucracy by making it easier to fire federal employees — could make their dreams a reality.
