The trickery for today’s white liberal is to manufacture racism by creating the narrative that voter ID is racist and will disproportionately harm blacks. Or that limiting the amount of early voting and other measures that increase ballot vulnerability is inherently racist because blacks won’t vote unless the federal government prods them to the polls because blacks are so dependent on the federal government.

Police officers endure daily threats to their own lives in order to create a safer world for you and me — for people of every color, race and background. The police-free protest zones popping up across the United States are built upon a vicious lie — namely, the claim that most police departments by their very nature are thoroughly corrupt and racist and beyond the reach of reform and repair. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Democrats in angst over Dobbs believe that aborted babies, including black babies, are something less than human requiring no protection. Unborn black babies are aborted at the same disproportionate rate as black men are incarcerated in the United States. Black Americans make up 13 percent of the U.S. population while comprising about 38 percent of the prison population, fueling the argument by leftists that the criminal justice system is inherently unfair to blacks. Yet black babies are aborted at more than three times the rate of white babies and constitute more than one-third of all abortions (38 percent), and their deaths are defended by leading leftists who claim to be champions for women and blacks, like Michelle Obama.

What happens to women’s athletics if competitors who were born male are allowed to compete with athletes who were born female? Should not the state make its position clear? For the sake of “inclusion,” are we to ignore factual physical distinctions and exclude greater opportunities for young female athletes? By establishing athletic leagues, events, and teams exclusively for women, female athletes fully enjoy the benefits of athletic competition in an environment that is fair and rewarding. Until now.

Much of America these days is rallying around the slogan that “Black lives matter.” That’s an admirable thing. The phrase speaks truth with clarity. It upholds a notion that we all can and should endorse. At the same time, some of us who acknowledge the phrase in its most positive sense feel compelled to distinguish that usage from radical factions that operate under banners emblazoned with the same words.

One president towers over all others in stature and importance — George Washington, so memorably eulogized as “first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” We celebrate the life of George Washington, imperfect though he was, because he was the indispensable man who held our fragile republic together in its formative years. As a black American, I readily acknowledge that Washington’s “ownership” of slaves blemishes his legacy, and we must not overlook or excuse this fact of history. We’ll return to this subject momentarily.

I advised Holcomb that the BMV may not adopt a rule to define "gender" without statutory authority from the Indiana General Assembly. Absent authorizing legislation by the Indiana General Assembly, the BMV may not add a non-binary option to driver's licenses. Additionally, the ISDH may not allow changes to birth certificates absent a rule promulgated under the ARPA.

These days, folks looking for relevant information online are figuring out that Google’s top search results often take them to entities paying premium fees to appear first in the search results. Or, in other cases, the top search results lead them to other Google-operated sites such as YouTube. I stood shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow attorneys general on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. The occasion was our announcement of a wide-ranging multistate investigation into Google’s business practices – particularly its advertising techniques and its search engine.

I have long championed measures such as jail chemical addiction programs (JCAP). As we lock up offenders, we should also provide them opportunities to turn their lives around and break the cycles that lead them repeatedly into criminal behavior. But the ACLU’s claim that the United States incarcerates too many people remains an exercise in delusion. All those who believe in the rule of law must remain as vigilant in refuting the ACLU’s argument with facts as the ACLU is persistent in propping it up with fallacies.

Under the Indiana Code, a city, county, or other political subdivision is prohibited from restricting the sale of firearms during an emergency declaration. .
