Minneapolis residents are still paying the price for the Black Lives Matter riots

Six years since Democrats allowed Black Lives Matter rioters to rage through Minneapolis, city residents are still (quite literally) paying the price. Market valuations for downtown Minneapolis commercial buildings have dropped by about $3.4 billion from 2021 to 2026, or about 45%, according to Minneapolis City Councilman Michael Rainville, who said that the number is still dropping. […]

The emperor’s nuclear clothes: Trump Iran deal and the naked king

President Donald Trump’s Iran nuclear deal is by far the worst thing to come out of either of his two terms. Yet he’s so bought-in that he’s told the world not to listen to the “losers” with enough common sense to point out the obvious. The whole ordeal draws direct parallels to the folktale The […]

White House report card: Two F’s and an MOU

Welcome to Friday’s Washington Secrets, where we are ready for another weekend filled with World Cup soccer. Once again, we unleash our two strategists to review the president’s week, and — spoiler alert — it’s not good. Where can I get a copy of The Mayor of Casterbridge? What a week that was. Even by […]

Misery loves company: The oft-outraged Left operates by fire and sword

As a conservative, I wish for Democrats to find happiness, and I hope they are able to find a strong presidential candidate. Currently, they have no bench, to use a baseball term, and the likely field of contenders is a fractured group largely defined by reactive grievance. The title of this essay is derived from […]

America’s workforce law is stuck in 2014

People are trying to adapt to a labor market that no longer moves in a straight line. Artificial intelligence could reshape more than half of U.S. jobs in just the next two years, entry-level jobs are becoming harder to find, and workers are navigating careers that increasingly require them to learn, retrain, and change direction […]

On This Day: Washington orders ‘a parade of 900’ men to build defenses

The following is an installment of “On This Day,” a series celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by following the actions of Gen. George Washington, the Continental Congress, and the men and women whose bravery and sacrifice led up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. June 19, 1776 Gen. George Washington is keenly aware that […]

Congress won’t fix itself. The Constitution says it doesn’t have to

The founders built two ways to amend the Constitution. Congress can propose amendments — that’s how all 27 got here so far. Or two-thirds of state legislatures can apply for a convention, bypassing Congress entirely. Madison explained in Federalist No. 43 that the amendment process was designed so both the federal government and the states […]

Vance is wrong, Iran oil sales will obviously fund terrorism

The U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to end the war with Iran is as feeble for U.S. and allied interests as the war was foolish. The MOU provides Iran immediate, significant financial benefits and defers the instrumental question of Iran’s nuclear program to future talks. As the U.S. intelligence community has assessed, it is highly […]

On the road, on YouTube

“Well, a guy is on a mountain in southwest Colorado, where I bought this 1950 Chevrolet sight unseen. It doesn’t run, and it’s been off the road for 20 years. I am going to try to get it fired up and drive it 1,400 miles back home.” That is Derek Bieri of the YouTube channel […]

The ‘most favored nation’ threat is real. Seniors should take notice

People have spent a lifetime paying taxes in exchange for the promise of Medicare coverage once they reach 65. In return, seniors expect to receive the highest quality care and access to innovative, impactful treatments and therapies they need to maintain their health. The “most favored nation” drug pricing policy being considered by the Trump […]

Made in America, funded by China: The capital backdoor into US national security

When the Pentagon designated Tencent as a Chinese military company in early 2025, the response in Silicon Valley was a collective shrug. Tencent’s stakes in American gaming firms had been public for years. The Justice Department forced Tencent to give up two board seats at Epic Games and its director appointment rights. The conversation focused […]

Fighting back against the erasure of unborn children

As we approach the fourth anniversary of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the landmark ruling that overturned 1973’s Roe v. Wade and restored to the states their constitutional authority to protect unborn children, the mifepristone litigation in Louisiana v. FDA continues. On May 14, the Supreme Court stayed the Fifth Circuit’s order, preserving the […]
