President Trump said Wednesday he instructed the Department of Justice to open a price-gouging probe because gas prices are not dropping fast enough following his first-stage peace deal with Iran.
As we inch toward the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, let me share a couple of reflections on the background of how this extraordinary, unprecedented, and daring event succeeded. Two decades ago, I set out to write a book about the events known as the Glorious Revolution of 1688-89. I […]
The Fourth Amendment doesn’t ask how you feel. It asks what a reasonable person would perceive. That’s not a technicality — it’s the architecture. A single objective standard, applied consistently, is what separates constitutional protection from a sliding scale that produces different rights for different people depending on who they are. The D.C. Court of […]
I winced too. When I saw they were holding a UFC fight on the White House lawn to kick off America’s 250th birthday, something in me reached for the word tacky before I finished the thought. A cage match? For the Declaration of Independence? Then I caught myself, because I know where that reflex comes […]
Every year, another wave of families signs on the dotted line, committing to one of the most significant financial decisions of their lives. The debate over whether a four-year degree is worth that investment has never been louder, and the critics are not wrong to raise it. Yet most employers have not moved. They still […]
Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) signed legislation in April 2026 committing the state’s 13 electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote — regardless of how Virginians actually voted. That’s not a hypothetical. It’s the law. And it moves the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact to 222 electoral votes — 82% of the 270 needed […]
As a homeschool father of eight children, an attorney with the Home School Legal Defense Association, and a lieutenant colonel in the Alaska Air National Guard, I am thrilled to see members of Congress spearhead legislation to support our men and women in uniform and their families. Legislation introduced in Congress last week will allow […]
President Donald Trump is enjoying an extra dose of schadenfreude this morning after Tuesday night’s primary election results in New York City. Never Trumper and political rival George Conway was absolutely humiliated in a Democratic congressional primary. It was a stunning example of Conway’s narcissism and egotism. And Conway didn’t just lose. He lost bigly! […]
As artificial intelligence reaches human replacement-level capability, it is about to cut a swath of destruction through the American workforce, leaving millions of employees to deal with the mental, economic, and social consequences. Along with a mentor at the University of Florida, Dr. Joseph Thornton, we published a paper last year outlining a clinical construct […]
People want healthier food, and voters have passed laws requiring better standards for how that food is produced. American family farmers are meeting those standards. But corporate pork interests, including foreign-owned Smithfield, are pressuring Congress to roll back those standards. That is the fight over the so-called Save Our Bacon Act, which lawmakers should keep […]
As America’s 250th birthday approaches, it is fitting that one of our country’s greatest inventions is having a moment. Franchising, with roots in the nation’s founding and Benjamin Franklin’s printing press, is everywhere this summer. Pizza Hut has tapped into the desire for nostalgia with its retro dining rooms, complete with iconic red plastic cups and stained-glass lampshades. […]
American soldiers are being tracked in real time by adversaries using data purchased from commercial smartphone providers, despite warnings to the Pentagon more than a decade ago, and Congress must act now to protect them.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) brushed off concerns that the primary wins of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's three progressive picks Tuesday could hurt Democrats and their brand ahead of November. “No, Donald Trump has a working relationship with the mayor of the city of New York, and he’s made that publicly and explicitly...
