COLLIER TOWNSHIP — Gov. Josh Shapiro launched his reelection bid in western Pennsylvania on Thursday, highlighting his accomplishments since taking office in 2023 and outlining his goals for a second term. Despite noting that Republicans and Independents were present in the packed carpenters union hall, the only boos came when Shapiro mentioned his Philadelphia Eagles […]
The start of a new year is when people take stock of what’s working and what isn’t. Families reassess budgets. Businesses review strategy. Lawmakers should do the same, especially when it comes to energy policy. After decades of lofty climate promises, 2026 arrives with a stubborn reality: Global demand for energy will continue to rise.

Much of President Donald Trump‘s success is due to the fact that he is the least ideological man to occupy the Oval Office in generations. Aside from his pet issues, namely illegal immigration and protectionist economic policies, where he has remained quite consistent, Trump is willing to compromise on just about anything. Compromise and coalition-building […]
Gov. Gavin Newsom likes to pretend he is willing to be tough on crime, but California under his leadership is effectively eliminating life without parole as a criminal punishment, facilitating the release of despicable violent criminals as soon as they turn 50 years old. Roy Charles Waller, known as the NorCal rapist, is on the […]
Before Minneapolis became the epicenter of seemingly countless Somali scams, it was the epicenter of perhaps the most shameless and irresponsible demonstration of partisan opportunism and cynical violence in modern American history.

Alerted in late December to U.S. plans to seize the sanctioned Marinera/Bella 1 cargo ship as it transited the Atlantic Ocean, Moscow allowed that vessel’s crew to reflag the Marinera as Russian.

Renee Good should be alive today. It’s because of radical, far-left political ideology that she is not. The mother of three was killed during a tragic interaction with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Wednesday after she was reportedly disrupting and impeding a federal law enforcement operation. In my opinion, it looks as if she […]

In just 11 months, our nation has gone from stagnation and atrophy to experiencing over 4% growth in gross domestic product, with trillions of dollars lining up to expand advanced manufacturing in America, and an astounding drop in energy prices, especially in red states, that will save American households over $11 billion in 2026. These […]
Iran’s clerical tyrants are as different from Mark Twain as it’s possible to imagine. But since they toppled the shah in 1979, they might often have echoed him, saying, “reports of our death are greatly exaggerated.” As Iranian popular protests multiply and grow into their third week, it is devoutly — if that’s the right […]
Following the Trump administration’s clampdown on Afghan immigrant visa processing, new developments may have left U.S. allies with no further hope of accessing the Special Immigrant Visa program. Shawn VanDiver, president of #AfghanEvac, told me that as of the start of the year, he is aware of more than a dozen visa applicants who were denied from […]
While you were sleeping off your residual New Year’s hangovers the first wee Saturday hours of 2026, President Donald Trump started his military decapitation of Venezuela’s communist dictatorship. And while you were still sleeping, the president ended it, seizing and arresting accused criminal drug trafficker Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia in fewer than 2 […]
Seattle has a new socialist mayor and new progressive leadership, which means there will be a lot of well-meaning disasters and misplaced priorities that make life in the city worse, especially when it comes to the criminal justice system.
