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 [...]
Michael P. 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. They were also shocked to learn that a former Marine, Daniel Penny, was being tried for manslaughter: he put his life at risk [...]
Bill Donohue On December 12, we were contacted by a Catholic League member who sought to have a nativity scene displayed in the lobby of his cooperative building in Larchmont, New York, a town in Westchester. The lobby has a Christmas tree and a menorah. His request was denied. When he was told that the nativity [...]

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. African Americans, Asians and Hispanics favor the former but oppose application of the latter; in general, their leaders oppose the former and favor the [...]
Bill Donohue Surveys show that the majority of Americans want illegal immigrants deported, especially those who have been convicted of crime. If they were asked exclusively about those convicted of sex crimes, that number would surely be greater. But many in Congress disagree—they want to keep them right here in America. In the last year, a [...]
Bill Donohue The results of the presidential election show that well-educated, wealthy secularists are not like the rest of us. In virtually every demographic group, Donald Trump either won, or did better than he did in 2016, with the exception of this cadre of voters. All the exit polls show that Trump beat Kamala Harris among [...]
