Georgia Republicans made their choice last month. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) won the GOP nomination to take on Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), and almost immediately, the all-too-familiar narrative took hold: Ossoff has the money, Republicans are behind, and Georgia is simply too expensive to compete. That story is easy. It is also incomplete. Fundraising totals […]
On July 5th, I was reading the digital version of the New York Times as I do every morning, and noted that its editors had chosen to place at the top of the first page the story written by Abdi Latif Dahir titled, “As Iran’s Patriarch is Mourned, Glimpses of a Changing Tehran.” I had […]
“The world needs to see this with its own eyes.” Those were the words President Donald Trump’s Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee shared with me as we walked through Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem. At first, I thought he was speaking about Israel broadly. By the end of our visit, I realized he was talking […]
The Democratic establishment and the major news media finally admitted last week that their Senate nominee in Maine, a self-described “oysterman” named Graham Platner, is a total dirtbag. It should be unnerving that it took so long for Democrats and the major media to admit this. It was obvious to any close observer what sort […]
On June 10, House GOP Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-MI) looked Loudoun County Schools Superintendent Aaron Spence in the eye at a congressional hearing and called him weak, pathetic, and a man she was grateful never taught her children — after his district suspended boys for complaining about a locker room filming incident rather than […]
For decades, Washington has debated America’s energy future as though it were a choice between competing fuels. We have argued over oil versus wind, natural gas versus solar, nuclear versus batteries, while overlooking a far more important question: How quickly can America deliver reliable power where it is actually needed? That question has become impossible […]
Hypersonic weapons and long-range drones are straining the homeland defense assumptions that helped keep America safe after World War II. They have already shaped battlefields in Ukraine and Israel, and future variants will be designed to reach farther, fly lower, maneuver harder, and overwhelm legacy defenses. Meeting that threat will require two longtime rivals — […]
Senate leaders are weighing when and how to move forward with year-round national sales of E15 gasoline following House passage of the legislation earlier this year. Supporters say the measure would lower costs for consumers. The evidence is less clear. Before senators move forward, Americans deserve a closer look at whether those promised savings are […]
In John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces, set in early-1960s New Orleans, Ignatius J. Reilly is the ultimate self-aggrandizing dunce. Over-educated, unemployed, living rent-free off his mother, armed with a useless master’s degree and an endless supply of contempt for the modern world, he stages absurd crusades while contributing nothing. He rails against the […]
For the past year, the Food and Drug Administration has done the exact opposite of what it promised. Leaders pledged to accelerate innovation and speed access to treatments for rare diseases. That does not mean abandoning safety guardrails. It means applying those guardrails consistently and without unnecessary delay. Instead, the FDA broke written agreements, reversed […]
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday issued a new broadside in the U.S. fight with the International Criminal Court (ICC), announcing a diplomatic effort by the Trump administration to dismantle the global tribunal. Rubio issued the action call in an opinion article with the Wall Street Journal and a video message shared on social media. His announcement...
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, seen as potential a 2028 presidential hopeful, said Sunday that there is a “carnival of corruption” in Washington, D.C. “Right now, what's at stake is nothing less than the American Dream. It is endangered. If you were born the year that my mother was born, at the end of World...
Technology leaders Elon Musk and Sam Altman traded barbs on social media over the weekend after the SpaceX founder used Apple's new trade secret lawsuit against OpenAI to bash Altman over an alleged "scam." Musk on Saturday posted to X that Altman "takes scamming to a whole new level," nearly a day after Apple announced...
