Bill Donohue Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision in March of 2021 to launch Operation Lone Star—bussing migrants from Texas to cities across the nation—turned out to be one of the most consequential issues affecting the 2024 presidential election. Trump would not have won without him. What he did was to turn a regional issue into a [...]

Bill Donohue We’ll take a slow learner over one who never learns, which is why we are happy to report that Disney continues to move away from its offensive fare. Are they family-friendly again? Not quite. But they are moving in the right direction. "Win or Lose" is a forthcoming Pixar animated miniseries set to premiere [...]

Bill Donohue This first appeared in the American Spectator on Oct. 22 They got to Jerry Seinfeld. He received enough blowback from the Left that he caved: he no longer blames humorless left-wing pundits and activists for the war on comedy. Indeed, he now says he “regrets” saying that comedy on TV has basically disappeared as [...]

McDonald Director of Communications Most Americans were shocked to learn that an innocent man, Brian Thompson, was murdered simply because he was an insurance man; he was the United Healthcare CEO.

This year they are in for a surprise. We have decided to send these activists a lesson, reminding them that the Christmas season is our season. We [...]

Bill Donohue It’s time the medical profession in the U.S. caught up with the U.K., and most European nations, by pulling back its support for gender ideology. It’s madness and every sane person knows this to be true. The American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Federation of Pediatric Organizations, the American Psychological Association [...]

Bill Donohue Elton John used to be a crackhead, and now he regrets it. What got him started, he says, was marijuana. “I maintain that it’s addictive. It leads to other drugs.” Of course, many people never take the next step. That doesn’t mean the Rocket Man is wrong: some people, for all kinds of reasons, [...]

Bill Donohue The populist surge needs to go further: the elites who claim to represent minorities are too often working against their needs. Take the issues of school choice and affirmative action.
