The poet Rupert Brooke voiced the exhilaration of those Britons who welcomed the war in 1914 as a chance to escape monotonous normality, “as swimmers into cleanness leaping.” They got four years mired in Flanders’ mud. In a 2016 referendum, Britons voted, 52 percent to 48 percent, for the ex…

Tennessee’s new senator, Marsha Blackburn, has just introduced the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act. This coincides with this year’s March for Life, noting 46 years since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion.

The week before classes start is a busy one for professors. There are syllabi to write, course websites to update, lessons to plan, and last-minute advisees to direct. But, last week, when I needed to be doing those things, it felt nearly impossible to get anything done at all.

One of Georgia’s oldest counties, Gwinnett County, became 200 years old on Dec. 15, 2018. Looking ahead, as the man whom the county is named for frequently did, it may be time for bold decisions and potentially new directions.

Ten states and Washington, D.C., have now legalized adult use of marijuana.

Sometimes in this business, it isn’t so much what you know as it is who you know.

During the Second World War, as U.S. power was eclipsing Britain’s, Harold Macmillan, a future prime minister, reportedly said, “These Americans represent the new Roman Empire and we Britons, like the Greeks of old, must teach them how to make it go.” Today, Britain’s Brexit agonies — its tw…

Brian Kemp takes office this week as Georgia’s 83rd governor, and the difference in atmosphere compared to his predecessor’s inauguration could hardly be greater.

In the 1973 dystopian film “Soylent Green,” Detective Frank Thorn, played by Charlton Heston, investigates the Soylent Corporation. The corporation produced Soylent Green, a wafer that was supposedly made of “high-energy plankton.” Turns out, as Thorn discovers in his investigation, Soylent …

Left-wing media stalwarts such as Newsweek, Huffington Post and Salon launched a barrage of fake news after I appeared on “Fox and Friends” recently to discuss new Agriculture Department rules tightening work requirement on food stamps.

Dear Cameron Charles Yarbrough:

Governor Nathan Deal modestly completes his second term with a high and enviable approval rating from voters in both political parties, with some even suggesting a re-visitation to the topic of term limits for Georgia’s chief executive in our state Constitution. I’m among those who’ve become…

The federal government’s recent shutdown had many people wondering if Washington can ever return to functioning properly. In fact, this is a feature of our system, not a bug: Congress holds the power of the purse, and it’s well within its rights to withhold funding when at loggerheads with t…

In one of contemporary history’s intriguing caroms, European politics just now is a story of how one decision by a pastor’s dutiful daughter has made life miserable for a vicar’s dutiful daughter. Two of the world’s most important conservative parties are involved in an unintended tutorial o…

One of my older sisters once dated a much older guy who had not yet come to terms with growing up. I remember nothing about him — except his nose hair. He was the Rapunzel of nose hair. I do believe you could have climbed it straight into his brain. I was never sure if I should suggest to hi…

During Christmas week, Fox News invited me to discuss how President Donald Trump’s achievements for black Americans are registering in awareness in these communities. Unfortunately, we didn’t succeed in scheduling the interview.

I am not very good at prognostications. But I am always full of hope. There are a number of events I would love to see happen in 2019; so much so that I have already written a short release on each should they occur.

A couple weeks ago, Sen. David Perdue had lunch with the Golden Isles Republican Women. It must have been a tough lunch for the Senator. He said some things that I can’t imagine our local Republican women would leave unchallenged.

On no real evidence but with absolute certainty, I would submit that the defining emotion of our time is anxiety.

As I crossed the mid-century mark a few anniversaries around the sun ago, I decided that I needed to make a higher priority of actually taking the trips and adventures on my bucket list, before the good lord decided to take me…and while the goin’ was still good.

The 12 days of Christmas continue this week, and so do my dozen good ideas for Georgia in 2019. (To find the first six, please refer to last week’s column.)

My New Year’s resolution: Make a careful distinction between speech and violence.
