Look past partisanship, and celebrate 250 years of freedom

America remains the preeminent country on earth and still functions as a very contentious democracy.

Donald Trump is a Third Worldist at heart

America at 250 has never been wealthier or more powerful. It has grown two-thirds faster than Western Europe over the past 20 years. Rival ideologies from Chinese authoritarianism to Islamism look deeply unappealing. There is a reason so many people are hammering at the republic’s borders. Yet, at the same time, the U.S. is starting […]

Happy 250th to the USA: Letters to the Editor — July 4, 2026

New York Post readers discuss America’s independence and astonishing history as it marks its 250th anniversary.

Your car can be guilty — even when you’re not

I’ve spent 30 years structuring transactions in which ownership must be provable, documented, and defensible before a dollar changes hands. Civil asset forfeiture inverts that premise. The government doesn’t have to prove you did anything wrong. It just has to seize the property and let you spend the next year proving you didn’t. Halima Culley […]

Kamala and the communists

KAMALA AND THE COMMUNISTS. There are reports former vice president and 2024 losing presidential candidate Kamala Harris has been touching base with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other leaders of the socialist/communist vanguard making deep inroads inside the Democratic Party. It makes sense. Harris appears to believe she can be the 2028 Democratic nominee, […]

Inside the US-Canada trade battle threatening American production

American consumers wandering the grocery store aisles never think about where the fresh mushrooms on display come from. Perhaps it’s time they should. A trade dispute now unfolding between the United States and Canada may sound like an obscure fight over the relatively small mushroom industry, but it has implications for all of agriculture: Does […]

Keep calm and fail on: Britain’s endless scandal machine

If you are a citizen of the United Kingdom, I ask that you keep a stiff upper lip whilst reading this from an American across the pond this Fourth of July. Britain increasingly displays a pattern in which its institutions fail, inquiries identify the causes, reports are written, recommendations are issued, apologies are made, and […]

The Supreme Court ruled seven years ago. Taxpayers are still paying the price

In June 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Tennessee Wine and Spirits Retailers Association v. Thomas that Tennessee’s two-year residency requirement for alcohol retailers was unconstitutional. This marked the first time since the 2005 Granholm v. Heald decision that the Supreme Court directly addressed the relationship between the 21st Amendment and the dormant Commerce […]

Newsom’s wealth tax: Target Musk and Bezos, hand the moon to China

Recently, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) proposed a national wealth tax. The idea is that it is a bad thing that a few billionaires (and one trillionaire) possess all of those riches that they acquired by building things and providing needed services. So, Newsom took to X (owned by Elon Musk, one of his targets) and […]

George Washington remains America’s indispensable man

“There are no great men,” the famed U.S. Admiral “Bull” Halsey declared, “There are only great challenges which ordinary men are forced to meet.” Halsey, a gruff commander famed for his exploits in World War II, was no woke academic. But the idea that great men, or great women, don’t exist is very much a […]

Tim Walz pardons child rapist to block deportation. This is the real war on women

This week, Minnesota’s Board of Pardons — Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Chief Justice Natalie Hudson — voted to wipe out the conviction of a man found guilty of first-degree criminal sexual conduct against a 10-year-old girl, days before that conviction was set to get him deported. He’d assaulted her repeatedly […]

Trump’s patchwork presidency: Pressure without permanence

President Donald Trump’s second term has delivered some wins, but a pattern of half-measures and deferred settlements risks reducing his presidential legacy to a series of temporary patches. His operational mindset is simple: when he cannot achieve something decisively, he declares victory and leaves things unresolved. With the midterm elections approaching, this cowardly approach threatens […]

Union workers are funding lavish lifestyles for unqualified big labor bosses

For generations, the leaders who represented American workers in unions earned their positions the hard way, whether it be on the job site, in the classroom, or at the bedside. And that’s because the promise of the American labor union was simple: workers standing together who understood the job, the risks, and what it meant […]
