US trade representative should shine a spotlight on Chinese counterfeits

The United States trade representative is set to release its 2025 Notorious Markets List, an annual report highlighting marketplaces linked to large-scale copyright piracy and trademark counterfeiting. While the list is a key enforcement tool, it has long omitted major Chinese online platforms. In an investigation, I purchased 51 products from Temu, AliExpress, and SHEIN […]

‘Doing nothing’ about Social Security means bankruptcy in 4 years and a 28% benefit cut

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has sounded the alarm once more. The CBO reminds us that the current bipartisan consensus of enacting zero reform to Social Security means that the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund program is projected to hit insolvency at the start of fiscal 2032, or in fewer than four years from […]

How faith and community form around paczki

OAKMONT, Pa. — Forty years ago, Marc Serrao started making paczki. Serrao had just started his modest bakery in the suburban Pittsburgh river town when he decided to try his hand at the doughy confection, pronounced poonch-kee, which is filled with rich white sweet creams or candied jam fruits and traditionally made by Polish bakeries on Shrove, or Fat Tuesday. […]

Former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker sacks Brendan Boyle over voter ID

Former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Seth Joyner once made a living decimating opponents on the gridiron. Last week, nearly 30 years after his last snap in the NFL, Joyner once again blasted an opponent with reckless abandon. Only this time, it wasn’t an opposing quarterback being sacked by Joyner, it was a Democratic congressman from Philadelphia […]

Democrats go scorched earth on redistricting

Last month, we wrote about Midwestern Republican lawmakers — in Ohio and especially Indiana — defying pressure from the Trump administration to engage in mid-decade redistricting for partisan benefit. This was an off-ramp from spiraling redistricting wars, which Democrats say the GOP instigated with a redraw in Texas.  What they ignore in this “they started it” […]

Michigan attorney general’s antitrust suit against Big Oil is the sincerest form of flattery

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has launched a copycat antitrust suit against BP, Shell, Chevron, and Exxon Mobil for engaging in a “conspiracy to delay the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.” Her suit is a mirror image of the antitrust action that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed against BlackRock and other asset […]

Why a European army is unlikely to work

“I believe the time has come to bring Europe’s mutual defense clause to life,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared at the 2026 Munich Security Conference. Her words captured the mood in European capitals. As Washington continues its strategic pivot toward the Indo-Pacific and signals that Europe must take primary responsibility for its […]

Resist the lynch mob against Jeremy Carl

Jeremy Carl, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be the State Department’s assistant secretary of state for international organization affairs, seems an odd choice to be a lightning rod for controversy. Still, Democratic senators and their echo chambers in the partisan press seek his scalp, accusing Carl of everything from white supremacy to being antisemitic. Carl […]

Democratic stars are standing firm in transgender radicalism

With President Donald Trump’s approval rating in the dumpster and the wind in their sails heading into the 2026 elections, all the Democratic Party seemingly has to do to win big is offer Americans a semi-sane alternative to the chaos of this administration. Naturally, major party leaders such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have decided […]

Wuthering Heights adaptation is what happens when no one reads

The latest work from English filmmaker Emerald Fennell — who cultivated a sizable following with her tawdry 2023 dark comedy Saltburn — is a loose adaptation of Emily Bronte’s 1847 Wuthering Heights — loose being a charitable term doing more than its share of heavy lifting — and a reflection of a stark literary crisis plaguing our modern age. […]

In Munich, Rubio brings a plan, and Democrats bring a pose

At a moment of mounting threats from China and Russia, this year’s Munich Security Conference delivered an unusually clear takeaway: Republicans arrived with a strategy for rearmament and renewal, while leading Democrats offered vibes, partisan sniping, and evasions. For more than half a century, the Munich Security Conference has been a forum for foreign dignitaries […]

AOC’s ignorant slam of Marco Rubio’s Munich speech proves she’ll never be ready for prime time

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did a star turn at the Munich Security Conference, and her appearances went about as well as you’d expect of a celebrity...
