Throughout her husband’s four-year term as President, she frequently lied about his health. Former President Joe Biden would repeatedly have embarrassing episodes, such as memory lapses, making nonsensical statements, shaking hands with the air, being unable to exit a stage, and walking alone into the woods. Despite the evidence that millions of Americans witnessed often, Dr. Jill would maintain that her husband was in great shape.]]>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Jeff Crouere]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/jeffcrouere/2026/06/01/jill-biden-the-doctor-of-dishonesty-n2676989Trump Administration Continues Crackdown on Rogue Bars <![CDATA[Last month, the DOJ filed a complaint against the District of Columbia Bar over its aggressive attempt to disbar President Donald Trump’s official, Jeffrey Clark. The DOJ also filed a statement of interest in support of Trump’s Pardon Attorney Ed Martin, whom the bar also targeted with disciplinary proceedings. The complaint said the D.C. Bar has a “pattern and practice of bad-faith and harassing prosecutions of Federal Government attorneys based on viewpoint and political affiliation.” The DOJ asked the court to void the proceedings against Clark.]]>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Rachel Alexander]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/rachelalexander/2026/06/01/trump-administration-continues-crackdown-on-rogue-bars-n2676985Levels of Violence<![CDATA[We can no longer win wars because it is impolite to apply the violence required to do so.]]>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Alan Joseph Bauer]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/alanjosephbauer/2026/06/01/levels-of-violence-n2676981Pills, Ads, and the American Patient<![CDATA[Only two countries on earth allow drug companies to advertise prescription medications directly to the public: the United States and New Zealand. New Zealand has 5 million people and doesn’t own the world’s largest pharmaceutical market. We have 335 million patients, a drug industry that spent nearly $13.8 billion on advertising and promotion in 2023 alone, and a regulatory system that requires a physician’s signature on the product while letting Madison Avenue write the demand.]]>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Jay Rogers]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/jay-rogers/2026/06/01/pills-ads-and-the-american-patient-n2676980Decline Is a Choice – Success Isn’t Inevitable<![CDATA[Decline is a choice.

Starting in 2010, any food sold in Europe containing certain synthetic dyes had to carry a warning label stating it “may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children.” Manufacturers changed up their products rather than put those words on a package aimed at kids, or more properly, their moms. But Americans never got that label, and those dyes stayed in their snacks.]]>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Monique Yohanan]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/monique-yohanan/2026/06/01/whats-in-your-kids-snacks-that-europe-wont-allow-n2676944America’s Next Arsenal Will Be Built by Startups<![CDATA[America’s 250th anniversary should be more than a commemoration.

There will be some who would read this title and think about a day without cell service. The title refers to the 1962 all-star cast movie that detailed the D-Day invasion from the Allied and German perspectives. It is a memorable film and grips the viewer without the added Hollywood effects of "Saving Private Ryan." This week marks the 82nd anniversary of Operation Overlord, the largest military amphibious operation in history, the Normandy invasion. It was something that everyone knew had to happen: the invasion of Europe to dislodge and ultimately defeat Nazi Germany. And to this day, the people of the Cotentin peninsula remember and honor the sacrifices of those who gave their lives for their liberation.]]>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Allen West]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/allenwest/2026/06/01/the-longest-day-n2676923The Autopsy of the Democrat Disaster of 2026<![CDATA[Typically, one performs an autopsy after the subject is dead; when you do it while they’re still alive, it’s called a vivisection, and that’s what we’re going to do today with the Democrats’&nbsp;soon-to-fail 2026 midterm campaign to turn America into a more gender-confused version of Cuba. Fast-forward to Thanksgiving 2026; let’s look back on what’s going to happen, because you can see the outlines of the inevitable. They’re hoping for a blue wave; they’re going to look back and realize that they blew it.]]>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Kurt Schlichter]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2026/06/01/the-autopsy-of-the-democrat-disaster-of-2026-n2676918Germany Shut Down Its Nuclear Plants.

What do I mean by that? It’s pretty simple, really: the left simultaneously insists black people are perpetual victims with economic hardship thrust upon them by “systemic racism” and the sole builders of everything good and superior to everyone else. None of it is true, but all of it is designed to manipulate. Democrats, even black Democrats, treat the average black American like they’re a child and special; neither is true. They’re just people, like everyone else.]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Derek Hunter]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2026/05/31/black-people-are-not-children-nor-are-they-special-n2676957A Pile of Dog Poop Doesn’t Stink As Bad As a Mountain of Cat Poop<![CDATA[That the Left (the Democrat Party) hates Donald Trump with a passion is, of course, not news to anyone. They’ve tried to kill him at least three times, and the vituperation and vitriol they pour out every day against the man would fill a 30-volume encyclopedia. They hate him, and by extension, anybody who votes for him, supports anything he does, or who even says one nice word about him. I’ve never seen such hatred in history, unless it was the Jewish leaders against Jesus. And they did succeed in killing Him.]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Mark Lewis]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/marklewis/2026/05/31/a-pile-of-dog-poop-doesnt-stink-as-bad-as-a-mountain-of-cat-poop-n2676947Israeli Firm Picked for Texas Desalination Plant<![CDATA[Corpus Christi, Texas, home to major oil refineries, petrochemical plants, LNG export terminals, manufacturing facilities, and other national security industries, is facing a water crisis that has prompted local officials to look to the Gulf of Mexico for help.]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Duggan Flanakin]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/dugganflanakin/2026/05/31/israeli-firm-picked-for-texas-desalination-plant-n2676946Being Investigated for Good Reason: Trump Accuser E. Jean Carroll<![CDATA[As everyone on the Left gleefully knows, in 2019, author E. Jean Carroll accused Donald Trump of raping her in 1995 or maybe it was 1996. Well, it was sometime in the mid 1990s. She also claimed that Trump defamed her in October 2022 when he referred to her rape allegation as a "complete con job" and "a hoax and a lie." On the witness stand back then, she denied that she was seeking to generate publicity for her books.]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Jeff Davidson]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/jeffdavidson/2026/05/31/being-investigated-for-good-reason-trump-accuser-e-jean-carroll-n2676939When a Hug Becomes a Crime: A Warning From West Virginia<![CDATA[The Oxford Dictionary of the English Language tells us that to “hug” is to “squeeze or hold tightly in one’s arms.”&nbsp;Earlier this month, however, a court of law in Berkeley County, West Virginia, charged a mother – Adrienne Lusanne Byrd – with criminal contempt of court for engaging in just such action when she embraced her daughter during a high school graduation ceremony for her son and then posted about it on Facebook.]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Bob Barr]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/bobbarr/2026/05/31/when-a-hug-becomes-a-crime-a-warning-from-west-virginia-n2676929Manosphere: Masculinity Without Virtue and Sacrifice<![CDATA[The modern crisis of manhood did not emerge in a vacuum. Western culture has long struggled to define what masculinity should look like in a society increasingly suspicious of authority, tradition, and even biological distinctions between men and women. The tragedy is not merely that masculinity has been criticized, but that godly manhood has been abandoned altogether — first by progressive cultural movements, and now by the reactionary excesses of the manosphere.]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Alex McFarland]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/alexmcfarland/2026/05/31/manosphere-masculinity-without-virtue-and-sacrifice-n2676920A Quick Bible Study Vol. 322: What the Bible Says About Gifts<![CDATA[Author's Note: All previous volumes of this series are here. The first 56 volumes are compiled into the book &nbsp;"Bible Study For Those Who Don't Read The Bible." "Part Two," featuring volumes 57-113,&nbsp;was published in December 2022.]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Myra Kahn Adams]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/myrakahnadams/2026/05/31/a-quick-bible-study-vol-322-what-the-bible-says-about-gifts-n2676913When All They Have Are Lies<![CDATA[Lies and the Jews—they both have four letters.]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Alan Joseph Bauer]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/alanjosephbauer/2026/05/31/when-all-they-have-are-lies-n2676912Germany's Economic Stagnation Has a Root Cause — and It's in the Classroom<![CDATA[From Innovation Leader to Educational Decline: Germany’s Growing Crisis]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Dr. Rainer Zitelmann]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/rainerzitelmann/2026/05/31/germanys-economic-stagnation-has-a-root-cause-and-its-in-the-classroom-n2676855They Broke the Law, Censored the Truth, and Pardoned Themselves. We Must Never Forget.<![CDATA[On January 20, 2025, hours before handing over power, President Biden issued preemptive pardons for Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and every member of the House January 6th Committee. You pardon people who might be guilty. Innocent men don't need preemptive cover. That act confirmed what millions already believed: the COVID-19 regime protected its own while leaving ordinary Americans to absorb the wreckage. No accountability. No reckoning. Just pardons for all and a quiet exit.]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Jay Rogers]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/jay-rogers/2026/05/31/they-broke-the-law-censored-the-truth-and-pardoned-themselves-we-must-never-forget-n2676798
