New York City’s money men have called North Jersey “home” for nearly a century. The high priests of American capitalism — stockbrokers, analysts, and banking titans — have long ended their days on Wall Street by crossing the Hudson River’s tunnels and bridges, retreating to the tree-lined suburbs of Essex, Passaic, and Morris counties. That […]

The Republican Party in New Jersey has been successful in the past and has elected Republican governors. Whether it was Tom Kean Sr, Christie Whitman, or Chris Christie, they all faced opposition from the more conservative wing of the party. The three winners were considered the more centrist or center-right candidates. The approach of the last […]

I have never been a cheerleader for every crypto fad, token launch, or speculative mania that has swept through the digital asset world. Far from it. Too much of what has passed for “innovation” in recent years has been hype, flimsy business models, and casino-like speculation dressed up as financial revolution. Markets need discipline, sound […]

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) agree on almost nothing. This week, they agreed on something that matters: Congress has a misconduct problem, and nobody inside the institution has been willing to fix it. Two members of Congress resigned this week, one Democrat and one Republican. Eric Swalwell of California faced accusations from […]

For decades, Medicare has stood as a sacred promise to America’s seniors that after a lifetime of hard work and contributing their fair share, their healthcare would be there for them in their golden/retirement years. But for too long, politicians in Washington have treated this program like a political football, often threatening its stability through […]

The Iran war might dominate headlines, but for President Donald Trump’s long-term strategic vision, it remains a diversion. The November 2025 National Security Strategy designated the Western Hemisphere as America’s strategic priority. “After years of neglect, the United States will reassert and enforce the Monroe Doctrine to restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere,” the document declared. […]

President Donald Trump’s critics are having a field day. He promised peace, they insist, and now he has brought war. The indictment is delivered with particular relish by those who have long despised him, and it arrives accompanied by a full dossier of his own words. The New York Times’s Ezra Klein assembled the prosecution […]

Let’s start by discussing Spain, which may seem like an odd choice, but bear with me. Spain’s socialist government has become a study in radicalism and spiraling decline. The left-wing prime minister’s wife has now been criminally charged in a ballooning corruption scandal that is engulfing the family. Unpopular with voters and losing his grip […]

Nobody enjoys filing their taxes. But this year, something was different. The tax code had some major improvements worth paying attention to. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, also known as the Working Families Tax Cuts, prevented a historic tax hike on American families. It also made important reforms that will benefit businesses and workers across […]

No matter who wins Virginia’s redistricting referendum today, the message Democrats are sending to rural Virginians will last for decades. By backing an amendment to the Virginia Constitution that effectively disenfranchises half the state, Democrats are telling voters outside Virginia’s most populous urban counties that instead of trying to win their support, they would rather […]

Throughout much of my career, I have warned that the United States cannot remain secure if it allows hostile or unreliable actors to control the systems and supply chains that fortify our nation. Cement may not command headlines like missiles or cyber-weapons, but it is no less fundamental to America’s ability to deter adversaries, withstand […]
