Voter confusion, headaches for election officials follow hasty GOP push to redraw U.S. House seats

Thousands of Louisiana voters have already cast early ballots for congressional candidates in what soon could be the wrong districts.

Newsom’s diaper program and California’s incestous relationship with nonprofits

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is desperate to find things to hang his hat on for his eventual 2028 presidential run, but not desperate enough to shed the California model of funneling taxpayer dollars through allied nonprofit organizations.

President Ronald Reagan had Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) number years before she was born.

Indications Trump sees Iran moving toward acceptable deal

Our republic is falling gradually. Total collapse will be sudden

Economists call it the “tragedy of the commons” — when people pursue short-term interests at a shared resource’s expense, they eventually destroy it for everyone. Fisheries collapse this way. Pastures go barren. And right now, something similar is happening to the American republic. What’s being depleted isn’t land or water. The constitutional ecosystem — the […]

The Left’s voting rights outrage is about power, not people

Abortion pill case isn’t the win pro-lifers think it is

Abortions in the United States are overwhelmingly done via the abortion pill regimen, a two-pill procedure that utilizes mifepristone to cut off progesterone from the developing baby inside the womb and then misoprostol to expel the dead baby through uterine contractions. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals essentially ruled on May 1 that mifepristone could […]

Courtroom carbon tax: How climate lawsuits pick your pocket at the pump

When policymakers talk about the burden of energy costs on American families, the conversation tends to focus on rising utility bills and higher prices at the pump.
