But with each passing year and each new study, the evidence for the genetic contribution to these differences becomes more firmly established than ever.
Religion has become the blind spot of American journalism.
Men and women have served and died to protect American democracy, but their sacrifice will be for naught if that democracy dies from the poison the Supreme Court has injected into our political organs.
I will never cede the authority of our country or our security to any other nation. I'll never give a veto over American security to any other entity - not a nation, not a country, not an institution.
