Behind this election's dominant issue of affordability lies the record concentration of wealth at the top of America. The richest 0.001% of Americans — a handful of extraordinarily wealthy men — now control more of the nation's wealth than at any time in modern history. To be sure, wealth ...
To the Journal editor: On Nov. 3, Karl Bohnak and Anna Aho Rink will vie for citizen’s vote for the 109th seat for state representative . Saving rural health care is one of Anna’s main platform issues. Anna touts being an administrator at Planned Parenthood in Marquette for 17 years. When I challenged Anna on her role at Planned Parenthood and the fact that it was not “care” for the unborn baby, Anna stood behind her position. Indeed, she made her living from the “abortion care” industry at Planned Parenthood. Many people are not aware that abortion is legal in ...
Being a journalist isn’t a sure path to popularity. But we journalists don’t go into the profession to make new besties. Rather, to paraphrase William Shakespeare, we journalists have always suffered the slings and arrows of outraged people, and we still do.

Drivers face the greatest risk at dawn and dusk, particularly on rural roads near wooded areas, waterways and farmland, AAA advises. All of which the Upper ...
To the Journal editor: The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that, in a closed system, entropy—or disorder—increases over time. As a political metaphor, this principle can be used to describe the effects of leftist policy: not because progressives consciously seek disorder, but because many of their preferred policies weaken the institutions, incentives, and social norms that impose structure on collective life. In a free society, millions of economically empowered individuals make decisions according to their own rational self-interest. Like Adam Smith’s invisible hand, these ...
Since President Donald Trump displays a ferocious disdain for any suggestion that he could be wrong about anything, I hope he will not try to consult the AI fact-checker he has unleashed against himself. Last week, the White House unveiled America.gov, a search tool it declared to be no less ...
