Repulsive, costly, and damaging to the lives of everyday people could describe the Obama Presidential Center or former President Barack Obama‘s presidency. Several recent updates have come through about the Obama Presidential Center, and none of them appear to be good. For one, the project was dreamed up with a $300 million price tag, but […]
President Donald Trump‘s unilateral imposition of the steepest tariff regime in about a century has not caused the dramatic increase in excess inflation expected by more Keynesian economists. Neither have the tariffs decimated our economic growth, thanks to Trump’s tens of billions of dollars in savings just in deregulation. But Trump is rediscovering the fact […]
Despite a near-heroic final-day rally, Team USA was soundly beaten by Team Europe in the Ryder Cup at Bethpage State Park outside of New York City. The final margin of 15-13 doesn’t tell the real story of what a lopsided match it was. No one on Team USA played poorly, but Team Europe seemed well-prepared […]
It hit me last week that almost no one in the administration truly believes in tariffs. Not, at any rate, as a serious policy.

“In the west, whiskey is for drinking, and water is for fighting,” the saying goes. And in California, the wealthy coastal elites that dominate the Democratic Party have been using water to beat up rural farming communities for decades. The latest casualty in the Democratic Party’s war on farmers is the residents, most of them […]
J.K. Rowling has become the entertainment world’s favorite villain for her recent advocacy against the United Kingdom‘s legal war on sexual dimorphism. Haters have derided the first-ever author to become a self-made billionaire as a product of privilege, but harkening back to her working-class roots, Rowling took to X to remind the world her advocacy […]
Democrats tell us that illegal immigrants are not allowed to work, vote, or collect Social Security. Yet somehow an illegal immigrant managed to become the superintendent of Iowa‘s largest public school system. He was also registered to vote in Maryland. The arrest of Ian Roberts by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at the end of […]
Picture this: It’s a balmy June evening in 2020, and across the pond, two sharp-witted British comedians, Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster, are wrapping up a no-holds-barred interview with the journalist Peter Hitchens. The topic was the unfolding “virus farce,” as Hitchens called it, with its endless lockdowns, mask mandates, and a societal freakout that […]
The Trump administration’s 21-point plan to end the Israel-Hamas war is detailed and reasonable, apart from proposing that Tony Blair become the emir of Gaza. It lays out clear steps from deconfliction — Hamas releasing the remaining Israeli hostages, the Israeli military withdrawing — to the economic, social, and ultimately political reconstruction of Gaza.
