The early days of the World Cup have offered many inspiring moments — not just the goals, cultural displays, and stories of international tourists discovering America’s incredible treasures, but a quieter revelation: Everyday Americans, not politicians, are the most effective ambassadors our country has. Across the nation, they are showing off their towns, their food, […]
Congress wrote the sentence now doing more work than most of the Constitution in the fight over federal immigration policy, and it wrote that sentence in 1946, thinking about grain quotas and radio licenses, not presidential power. Section 706 of the Administrative Procedure Act instructs a reviewing court to “hold unlawful and set aside” agency […]
Former President Joe Biden ran as the steady moderate who would restore normalcy. In practice, his presidency became something stranger: a cognitively declining president whose White House staff, driven by “Trump derangement syndrome,” used his office to reverse policies that were working and to impose measures that would have been considered extreme even during the […]
As the nation celebrates its 250th birthday, the most important question is no longer how the United States became the world’s largest economy. It is how we build an even more prosperous future over the next 250 years. That question deserves our attention because the world’s next generation of prosperity is being built today. Artificial […]
Two days before our July 4 celebration marked the 50th anniversary of the formal reunification of Vietnam into a single country. The war had ended the previous year, in April, 1975, when North Vietnamese army tanks rolled onto the palace grounds in South Vietnam’s capital, Saigon. Surrender time. During the 14-month period of reunification, to […]
You’d think California state Sen. Scott Wiener would be celebrated as a hero on the Left. After all, Wiener has spent his entire career in politics advocating every extreme, absurd, and at times creepy policies that his radical base demanded. Highlights include Given these examples alone, and the Left’s obsession with all things transgender, surely […]
For years, much of the American Left has portrayed the housing crisis (rising rents, soaring prices, and falling affordability) as proof that markets fail at delivering basic needs. The remedies followed: rent control, vast public housing, and “social housing” schemes. Congress just delivered a different verdict. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a merger […]
The Supreme Court handed Republicans a significant advantage this week, ruling in NRSC v. FEC political parties have expanded flexibility to coordinate spending with their own candidates. Having spent more than a decade raising money for Republican Senate campaigns, I can tell you plainly what this means in practice: the single most frustrating conversation in […]
The Supreme Court closed its term last week by opening the one every Second Amendment lawyer in the country has been waiting for. On June 30, the justices granted certiorari in Viramontes v. Cook County, consolidated with a companion case out of Connecticut, and agreed to decide whether the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect the […]
Most Americans have no idea that Congress is a step closer to making a dangerous decision: allowing bigger, heavier tractor-trailers onto the roads they use every day. The proposal sounds technical, which is exactly why it may escape public notice. But buried in the highway bill in Congress is a plan to let states raise […]
President Trump's inquiry with FIFA President Gianni Infantino into the penalty drawn by Team USA player Folarin Balogun has caused a furor in the soccer world, just ahead of the huge round of 16 matchup between Team USA and Belgium. FIFA's independent board reversed the red card suspension of Balogun on Sunday, after which it...
It took decades before I appreciated the cultural connection between tawdry corruption in a Cook County courtroom and the breathtaking venality of President Donald Trump.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) on Monday called for an investigation into the Patriot Front white nationalist group after its Independence Day rally and march across Washington, D.C. “What I find odd about Patriot Front is how under Biden they were never investigated. Well funded. Never investigated,” Luna wrote in a post on the social...
President Trump said Monday that his administration is working on a plan to launch accounts for adults that would mirror Australia's retirement savings system. "We're going to be doing also something we're working on later on, and it'll be also, I think, very popular, and I guess the best definition is they have a plan...
