Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., over Arctic Frost and vowed to fight the Trump-backed government funding package, despite White House pressure.
When President Donald Trump nominated Jerome Powell as chairman of the Federal Reserve during his first term, the president was seen as making the safest possible choice for one of the safest possible stretches of modern finance, a central bank boss with a history of rarely rocking the boat and tended not to dissent from […]
Are Americans still the good guys? It pains me to have to ask the question. Throughout my life, the United States was the definition, the epitome, the essence of a good nation. When we spoke of a country improving, we meant it was becoming more like the U.S. We meant that it could vote out […]
Heading for a friendly business-seeking visit to China, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer claimed he need not choose between his hosts in the communist dictatorship and his ally, the United States. This is worse than misguided, for it applies a veneer of impartiality to an administration that, in truth, sides with the tyrants against Britain’s […]
Fighting has returned to northeast Syria. Government forces are again pushing to take control of areas still held by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). A temporary truce is now in place, but after more than a year of talks, Damascus and the SDF have failed to reach a real agreement on how these areas should be […]
After weeks of incendiary rhetoric, street clashes, large-scale disruptions of federal operations by organized leftist militia-style agitators, and the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens at the hands of immigration enforcement personnel, Democratic leaders in Minnesota have finally spoken directly with the president of the United States. Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), fresh off a rebuke […]
There are a hundred points to make and a hundred arguments to have about the chaos in Minneapolis, but the most salient question in the national political debate is why armed agents of the federal government killed two protesters. Yes, Gov. Tim Walz‘s (D-MN) leadership deserves criticism, as does Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s. The prudence […]
Trapped inside our home last week, my family was in search of a “snowy” movie we could watch together. After rejecting Alive, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Shining, we settled on Groundhog Day, which famously features a blizzard trapping Bill Murray’s Phil Connors in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Essays have been written treating Groundhog Day as […]
Do you want your sports spectating experience to come complete with political commentary from a bunch of random athletes who don’t know anything about what they are lecturing you? Well, it’s time to party like it’s 2020 again, because the NBA is back in the political arena. After the Border Patrol shooting of Alex Pretti, […]
As recently as 2009, the scolds were still warning us about a world with too many Americans. The Census Bureau then predicted a U.S. population of 400 million by 2050, with an expected 2025 population of 357 million. “Given that Americans, per person, produce many times more carbon dioxide emissions than people in developing countries,” […]
The District of Columbia funds the largest standing army the world has ever known and prints the currency that makes the world go round. Through a signature on sanctions or the shake of a hand, the district has the ability to make or break entire economies. But evidently, we cannot handle a little inclement weather […]
Read a comparison between Presidents Donald Trump and Richard Nixon, and more often than not, it begins and ends with scandal, abuse of power, and corruption. The term “Watergate” is synonymous with all of that, and people often use it to draw a direct line between Nixon-era abuses of power and those of today. But […]
In a recent interview with Fox News, President Donald Trump defended giving hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals visas to study in the United States. He argued that the tuition fees from Beijing more than make up for the potential espionage risks. The president even claimed that his Republican base supported this open-door immigration policy. […]
WHERE TRUMP STANDS ON THE BORDER AND IMMIGRATION. As the Battle of Minneapolis (possibly) enters a new stage, there is a just-released poll from Fox News that sheds light on the public’s view of the fight over the enforcement of federal immigration law. First, the question of approval of President Donald Trump’s policies. You’ve probably seen […]
