Trump appeals court ruling blocking IRS settlement

President Trump and his sons said Friday they are appealing a court decision that blocked the deal he reached with his own administration settling his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS.

Trump says anti-weaponization fund in IRS settlement is ‘dead’ even as he defends it

President Donald Trump said Friday that his $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund is "dead" while also continuing to defend it, further complicating his administration's negotiations with two Republican senators who are blocking his attorney general nominee in protest.

Democrats’ swing state ‘blue wall’ becomes a haven for socialists

The Democratic Party’s surrender to socialism is not just taking place in deep-blue cities. The socialist wing is taking over in the Midwestern swing states that have decided the last three presidential elections. Former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes dropped out of the Wisconsin governor’s race, acknowledging the reality that the Democratic primary is socialist Francesca […]

A multipolar world would be disastrous for international security

Writing in The Guardian this week, Yale Law professors Ash Bâli and Samuel Moyn celebrate what they suggest is the end of the unipolar American-led international order. To borrow from Mark Twain, I suspect that news of America’s superpower death is exaggerated. Still, in their optimism about how a new multipolar order might be established, […]

A hospital bed has no political party

America has become accustomed to talking about what divides us. We debate taxes and tariffs, immigration and education, healthcare and climate change. Cable television reminds us what separates us. Social media rewards us for disagreeing more loudly than yesterday. Yet, beneath those disagreements lies something quietly remarkable. Some experiences strip away nearly every political label […]

When ‘free healthcare’ can’t fix your joint, it offers you euthanasia

The clueless market universal healthcare as a right: free at the point of use, available to all. In reality, when price is removed and budgets constrain supply, care is rationed by time. Patients wait. Disease progresses. Productivity evaporates. And in the extreme, some systems offer an exit when treatment does not arrive.  If something constitutes […]

Stop banning data centers while binging Netflix and using ChatGPT

Data centers have become essential national infrastructure powering everything from banking systems to healthcare, government services, and platforms like ChatGPT and Facebook. Yet public discourse and the Not In My Back Yard (NIMBY) movement increasingly frame them as environmental liabilities.  That sentiment is now shaping public policy. New York has approved a one-year pause on […]

Israel’s future is in jeopardy if it becomes a single-party cause

The late Sen. Lindsey Graham entered our lives during the darkest chapter our family had ever known. This week, as we traveled to Washington for his funeral, we came not only to honor one of Israel’s most steadfast friends, but to remember a leader who stood beside our family — and whose example offers an […]

More drag queens than founding fathers: Inside the Smithsonian’s anti-American turn

One of the first things any proud tourist to Washington, D.C., does is tour the Smithsonian museums. Supposedly, these museums are home to the accumulation of American exceptionalism and impact in history, art, culture, and science. Unfortunately, that is no longer true. To expose the truth, on July 4, the White House released “Saving America’s […]

India audits my church. Who audits the ghost shaping the republic?

Every year, the schools and hospitals my church runs in India open their books, and every foreign rupee is accounted for under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act. We renew a license the state may refuse at will, and under the amendment before Parliament, we may lose the buildings themselves if it lapses. We file, we […]

Millionaires got 3%, and working families got 27%. The Left’s tax narrative is dead

The middle class hasn’t had it easy in recent years. From record inflation during the Biden administration to stubbornly high interest rates, economic sentiment hasn’t fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels. But there are clear signs that, despite these headwinds, the economic picture is improving. The U.S. economy is outperforming its global peers thanks to a […]

The $70 billion ‘child safety’ bill that leaves kids exposed and kills small tech

I’m a father of three, an app developer, and the head of the Developers Alliance. I’m personally and professionally invested in the congressional debate over the best way to prevent kids from accessing inappropriate online content. So my interest was piqued by Aiden Buzzetti’s recent Washington Examiner op-ed championing the App Store Accountability Act. Buzzetti […]

Rich kids playing revolutionary just ran out of runway

For years, federal prosecutors treated the financing of radical movements as a political question instead of a legal one. That is changing, and a Cox cable heir sitting in a Spanish jail cell is the clearest evidence yet. Spanish police arrested James “Fergie” Cox Chambers Jr. in Ibiza on July 10. He is fighting extradition […]
