Human Events is a conservative American political news and analysis newspaper and website. Founded in 1944 as a print newspaper, Human Events became a digital-only publication in 2013.
On February 27, 2013, Human Events announced that, after 69 years, it would halt publication of the print edition but would continue to maintain the websites HumanEvents.com and RedState .com with original reporting.
Contributors to Human Events from the 1960s to the 1980s included Spiro Agnew, James L. Buckley, Peter Gemma, Pat Buchanan, Ralph de Toledano, Russell Kirk, Phyllis Schlafly, Murray Rothbard and Henry Hazlitt. Other regular writers included Robert Novak, Ann Coulter, Terence P. Jeffrey, and John Gizzi, its chief political editor.
Human Events printed 40,000 copies per week and had a staff of 15 full-time employees. A "restructuring" plan that involved layoffs had already been attempted but was insufficient to allow continuation of the print edition.

This line was written by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776).
The Declaration of Independence begins with Thomas Jefferson's famous phrase “when in the course of human events” — and so did an early draft of Israel's founding document.
Notice the words that Jefferson used in the opening. He wrote, "It becomes necessary." By using these words, Jefferson was saying that there was only one way to proceed — through war.
The Declaration of Independence states three basic ideas: (1) God made all men equal and gave them the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; (2) the main business of government is to protect these rights; (3) if a government tries to withhold these rights, the people are free to revolt and to set up a ...
The phrase means something like “when as human history unfolds…” … One definition of “course” in the dictionary is “the way in which something progresses or develops.” Using that definition we can restate your phrase as “when in the way that human events develop” or as stated above “when as human history unfolds.”
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
1. What does Jefferson mean when he says, '...it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another...'? What Jefferson means that, the U.S. should separate from Great Britain and become one country.
It asserts that Americans as a whole (and not as members of their respective colonies) are a distinct “people.” To “dissolve the political bands” revokes the “social compact” that existed between the Americans and the rest of “the People” of the British commonwealth, reinstates the “state of nature” between Americans ...
What words show that England and the United States were together and now going to separate? A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
The Declaration of Independence included these three major ideas: People have certain Inalienable Rights including Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness. All Men are created equal. Individuals have a civic duty to defend these rights for themselves and others.
United ColoniesOn September 9, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted a new name for what had been called the "United Colonies.” The moniker United States of America has remained since then as a symbol of freedom and independence.
Terms in this set (5)All men are created equal. ... All men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. ... Among these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. ... To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.More items...
Believe me, dear Sir: there is not in the British empire a man who more cordially loves a union with Great Britain than I do.
Thomas Paine 's pamphlet Common Sense was published in January 1776, just as it became clear in the colonies that the king was not inclined to act as a conciliator.
Political maneuvering was setting the stage for an official declaration of independence even while a document was being written to explain the decision.
The declaration is not divided into formal sections; but it is often discussed as consisting of five parts: introduction, preamble, indictment of King George III, denunciation of the British people, and conclusion.
Historians have often sought to identify the sources that most influenced the words and political philosophy of the Declaration of Independence. By Jefferson's own admission, the Declaration contained no original ideas, but was instead a statement of sentiments widely shared by supporters of the American Revolution. As he explained in 1825:
The signed copy of the Declaration is now badly faded because of poor preserving practices in the 19th century. It is on display at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
Johannes Adam Simon Oertel 's painting Pulling Down the Statue of King George III, N.Y.C., ca. 1859, depicts citizens destroying a statue of King George after the Declaration was read in New York City on July 9, 1776.
