LETTER: Police body cams have proven helpful (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When officer-worn “badgecams” came into general use circa 2020, I think the perception throughout much of the public was that these videos would serve to catch rogue police officers using unnecessary force or otherwise behaving badly. In fact, they have served to illustrate the extremely difficult and dangerous circumstances police officers face every day and have shown how they go to great lengths to avoid the use of force, especially deadly force. As was the case with the recent tragic shootin
The Pit: The most terrible grief (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At first we called it “the pile,” but after some months, those of us who worked there started calling it “the pit.” I spent almost a year in a nearby trailer, doing administrative work for one of the construction companies clearing the site, so I watched the whole process day by day. The collapse of the twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001, created an unfathomably large heap of smoking debris, including shards of the buildings that jutted dramatically skyward. One of them was almost four stories high.
COMMENTARY: Hereâs why college tuition so high in America (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why is four-year college tuition so high in America? William Bennett, President Ronald Reagan’s secretary of education, offered his hypothesis in 1987.

Will far-left candidates cause problems for Dems? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When left-wing insurgent Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic nomination for an open Senate seat in Michigan, Donald Trump cheered that it was “great news for the Republican Party.” In an important way, he’s right. Many of El-Sayed’s policy views are far outside the mainstream. Even many Democrats agree with Trump that he will be a weaker candidate in November than the more pragmatic rival he narrowly defeated, Rep. Haley Stevens. And if Democrats lose Michigan, they have virtually no hope of recla
LETTER: Digging deeper on U.S. firearm deaths (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In her Sunday letter, Sherry Hobbs points out that there are approximately 45,000 firearm deaths each year in the United States. She then implies that many of these deaths involve otherwise good people who lose their temper after a few drinks and have easy access to a gun. The implication is that these are homicides. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Of those approximately 45,000 firearm deaths, more than 27,000 are suicides. The number of firearm homicides is closer to 15,000. The larger
