  Linda Chavez
  As an American, I am proud of Olympic Gold medalist Claressa Shields' feat in women's boxing at the Olympics -- but as a woman who has suffered traumatic brain injury, I am deeply concerned that her win will encourage other young women to pursue this dangerous, potentially life-altering sport. ... more

  Brent Bozell

  There is much gnashing of Punticratical teeth in Your Nation's Capital over how NBC is presenting the events that they paid about $1.1 billion to present. ... more
• Olympics Highlight England's Iron Stomach for Nonsense, Ineptitude Tue Jul 31
  Rachel Marsden
  Mitt Romney and I are competing in a new Olympic event that involves proffering unvarnished criticism of the Olympics themselves.

This is a myth. It's too much government-facilitated cronyism that's causing the mayhem wrongfully attributed to capitalism.

  Cliff May
  Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, I expected there would soon be consensus across ideological, national, and other lines that terrorism is wrong — that no political goal or grievance justifies intentionally murdering innocent men, women, and children. I was wrong. ... more
