California’s energy crisis should concern policymakers at both the state and federal levels, but so far only one side appears to be taking it seriously. For more than two years, California officials blocked Sable’s offshore drilling operation from bringing its product to market. By invoking emergency powers, President Donald Trump cut through that regulatory blockade, […]
Mayor Brandon Johnson’s pro-criminal worldview continues to make Chicago worse for everyone but the criminals his policies and rhetoric protect and enable. Shootings in Chicago this past February were up 13% compared to February of 2025, and March saw a 15% rise compared to March 2025. The increase in homicides is even greater, with an 18% increase […]
It is not surprising that the three liberal justices on the Supreme Court were antagonistic toward President Donald Trump’s Solicitor General John Sauer during oral argument in Trump v. Barbara on Wednesday, nor were some of the softballs tossed Sauer’s way by Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh. But there were three key […]
Our federal congressional representatives struggle to keep up with email. You’d think putting them in charge of regulating mobile gaming would be widely recognized as a ludicrous idea.

In many parts of the country, especially rural America, a hospital is not simply a healthcare facility. It is critical infrastructure. It is where trauma care begins, where babies are delivered, and where chronic conditions are managed. When a community hospital becomes financially unstable, the consequences extend far beyond its walls. Local economies suffer. Emergency […]
The ubiquitous and outrageous lie that Israel committed a “genocide” in Gaza has been further debunked, inadvertently, by Hamas itself. The Israelis have prosecuted an aggressive yet defensive war after their territory was breached by hordes of bloodthirsty terrorists on Oct. 7, 2023. The barbarian invaders slaughtered nearly 1,200 people during the atrocity, including dozens […]
The Supreme Court’s 8-1 ruling this week in Chiles v. Salazar is about more than one Christian counselor in Colorado and the state’s ham-fisted attempt to silence her.

The rapidly escalating conflict in Iran is already sending shockwaves through commodities markets, including aluminum — a strategic industrial material essential to civilian and military uses that the U.S. still largely sources from abroad. It’s a stark reminder of how quickly geopolitical instability can expose strategic vulnerabilities at home. Against that backdrop, January’s announcement of […]
Every day brings fresh proof that the Biden Justice Department’s “Arctic Frost” operation was one of the most brazen surveillance operations carried out on political opponents in modern American history. And what’s most alarming is the secret method that allowed phone records to be seized without anyone even knowing. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) recently released […]
