“Show me a school that I shut down,” Anthony Fauci challenged his critics in Congress. “I never did.” As America’s top infectious disease official during the COVID-19 pandemic, Fauci often brushed off criticisms, insisting that he never shut anything down. His defense is not a total lie. On the literal level, Fauci didn’t have the […]

Gen. Dan Caine’s responsibility as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is to balance finite military capabilities against many military contingencies. This hard task is made harder by the unstable international security environment. But considering the balance of U.S. strategic interests, Caine’s first priority is to maximize the U.S. military’s ability to deter or […]

We are now over a decade past the beginning of the Black Lives Matter movement, and six years past its height in the summer of 2020. With the damage that movement has done to race relations, it is clear that race relations arsonists should be expelled from polite society, starting with Ben Crump. The shooting […]

MANNS CHOICE, Pennsylvania — In January of 1941, hundreds of businessmen from communities all along the 7 miles of the Lincoln Highway that stretched from Everett to the top of Tull’s Hill met at the Ford Bedford Inn. They discussed plans for improving a highway that was first paved and modernized in 1919. Edmund S. […]

A teachers union and its allies are trying to undermine one of the nation’s top school choice programs via a deceptive ballot initiative.

America has a habit worth breaking: we invent a transformative technology, like semiconductors, let it drift overseas, and then spend decades and billions of dollars trying to bring it back. We are currently watching this script play out with digital assets, but we now have a rare, bipartisan window to rewrite the ending. This week, […]

Every argument about 2028 assumes Republicans are picking a favorite between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Not so. They’re deciding whether the party is still an instrument for governing or has become a monument to whoever built it last. I’ll say directly what most Republicans won’t: Rubio is better built […]

When Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said this week that the United States was finding American “watermarks” embedded deep inside Chinese artificial intelligence models, he signaled a potential shift in geopolitical statecraft. For four years, Washington treated the technology competition with Beijing as a hardware fight — a battle over physical silicon, lithography equipment, and advanced […]

The Food and Drug Administration does not exist to make popular medical trends look official. It exists to separate medicine from marketing. That is why the latest vote by the FDA’s Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee deserves far more scrutiny than it has received. According to STAT, the advisory panel narrowly recommended that compounding pharmacies be […]

The Democratic National Committee deserves credit. Its Rules and Bylaws Committee has done what the Republican National Committee has stubbornly refused to do — question the entrenched cartel that has allowed Iowa and New Hampshire to dominate the presidential nominating process since the rise of the modern primary system in the 1970s. To be clear, […]

It was the perfect magic trick. In late June 2022, congressional interns ran down the steps of the Supreme Court carrying a decision that was supposed to give Republicans exactly what they wanted. The overturning of Roe v. Wade was meant to be a grand slam for conservatives — the pinnacle of our stacked Supreme […]
