By a vote of 8 to 5, the en banc Eleventh Circuit ruled today (in HM Florida-ORL, LLC v. Florida) that a restaurant that wanted to run supposed “family...
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's migration policies faced fierce criticism as leaders from across the European Union met Tuesday following last week's rush of migrants to the Spanish territory of Ceuta in North Africa.
The California Democratic Party is continuing its economic destruction of the state, driving taxpayers out while ramping up spending year after year. The California Democratic Party officially endorsed the union-promoted billionaire tax that voters will see on the ballot later this year. This supposed “one-time” tax will take 5% off of each and every billionaire in the […]
The acrimonious nature of divorce proceedings often renders the records an unreliable game of he-said-she-said, with grand accusations lobbed at one another but frequently with little evidence to back them up. The divorce proceedings of Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) and Republican strategist Emily Moreno are not one of those cases. Audio recordings corroborate an allegation […]
Let’s start with the Constitution’s Naturalization Clause (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 4), which provides Congress with the “power … To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization … throughout the United States.” Likewise, the Supreme Court has long recognized Congress’s plenary authority over immigration. Congress has enacted a body of laws, which federal officers are charged […]
Big government can be thought of as a toll collector. Through regulation, taxes, or outright government ownership, politicians limit the ability of individuals and businesses to do the stuff they want to do. To get free from these government-imposed restrictions, businesses and individuals typically have to pay tribute to the politicians. Throughout history and across […]
To FIFA President Gianni Infantino and the Trump administration’s credit, the recently concluded soccer World Cup was a huge success. The introduction of absurd, greed-motivated water breaks notwithstanding, the addition of more teams was welcomed by fans. It made for a more unpredictable and exciting tournament. Considering FIFA’s gross mishandling of ticket sales in advance […]
For years, Washington has rightly demanded that digital asset markets operate under stronger consumer protections, meaningful federal oversight, and clear, enforceable rules. The Clarity Act delivers on those priorities. It gives regulators new authority, requires digital asset platforms to meet federal standards, and replaces a system that has confused consumers. During my years at the […]
The Food and Drug Administration is hoping to take a page out of John Kerry’s flip-flopping playbook. While running for president in 2004, Kerry tried to explain his blatant inconsistency on a spending bill by saying he was for it before he was against it. Kerry’s attempt at rhetorical origami didn’t work then, and it […]
I am not here to deny that foreign powers have intervened in Sudan, nor to defend any external intervention, regardless of its source. But if foreign intervention is indeed the problem, why has international condemnation evolved into a political campaign focused on the United Arab Emirates, while the involvement of other states, providing documented military, […]
Artificial intelligence has brought a revolutionary change to industries, economies, and how the government provides public services. In fact, it has played a large role in making the United States as technologically advanced as it is today, and this can be seen in various sectors such as healthcare, finance, manufacturing, education, and national security. As […]
On Thursday, East Tennessee authorities arrested Adam Lee Heimerman, an independent candidate for Tennessee’s 2nd Congressional District, after police say he admitted shooting four automated license-plate reader systems between July 14 and July 22. At least one was a Flock Safety camera, and investigators allege that he fired at one system from church property while […]
There is a troubling pattern emerging of government officials in America’s bluest states punishing religious organizations and individuals for simply living their faith. Whether the target is Catholic nuns or preschools, Christian pregnancy centers or charities, the message is the same: Conform your beliefs to the state’s progressive ideology or prepare for years of investigations, […]
We have absorbed a familiar story about falling birth rates: People are having fewer children. But averages can conceal profound differences. Imagine a country where women have, on average, two children. That could describe a society where most women become mothers and have two children, or one where half of women have four children and […]
A public pension trustee who strikes the diversity and climate language from an investment policy statement this summer is not doing housekeeping. He is making a fiduciary decision, and it needs the same financial justification the board owed when it added that language in the first place. Get the paperwork wrong in either direction, and […]
The European Union has, time and time again, promised “fairness” and “competition” in its digital regulations. Instead, what it has delivered is a regulatory regime with unnecessary digital trade barriers that hurt American technology firms, workers, and consumers. President Donald Trump and his administration have fought hard to win real trade victories for the American […]
