The NATO code to deter Russia: 82-173-6-16-11

Desperate to end Western support for Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin is escalating his threats against NATO. Because Putin pays little heed to rhetorical warnings, the Trump administration must physically deter him. To be sure, NATO has its flaws and needs fixes. But the defensive alliance also remains the most successful in history. And aside […]

I met Lindsay Clancy supporters who also suffered serious trauma — but it can’t lessen the brutality of her killings

Just like Great American State Fair, Josh Shapiro struggles to tell truth on measles

Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) is the leader of the Keystone State. Millions of Pennsylvanians rely on him to advise them on important matters, government affairs, and state-related issues. This is particularly true regarding health concerns in the state. He’s supposed to be honest with the state’s citizens. Yet recent events have shown that Shapiro struggles […]

They rigged the maps to force you to pay for their ‘-isms’

An “-ism” is simply what your mind is willing to put time and effort behind. In America, you may choose yours so long as it does not extinguish anyone else’s. That remains the country’s actual magic. Gather friends on a commune, raise food, distribute it collectively — have at it. History already wrote the ending. […]

Harry and Meghan are back to cash in on Britain’s $680 million royal lie

Don’t look now, but Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are returning to the United Kingdom and to the headlines. My reaction? As Valley Girls used to say, gag me with a fork. I love London and St. Andrews, Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher, Chaucer and Shakespeare, the Beatles and the Stones. British food? Not so […]

Republicans want to cut it. Democrats want to fund it. Neither knows how to fix it

America does not have a single healthcare crisis. It has affordability, access, and safety crises. Washington has divided them by party, and each party is concentrating on only half of the problem. Republicans focus on what healthcare costs taxpayers and on stopping fraud, waste, and abuse. That concern is legitimate. The Centers for Medicare and […]

Your doctor took a 33% pay cut. Here’s who kept the change

The big debate over American healthcare is stuck in a trap. Government officials treat Medicare like a simple math problem on a budget spreadsheet, believing they can balance the books by constantly cutting pay for physicians. This ignores how our bodies work because human life is not just another line item on a ledger, and […]

Treasury is 100% right to crack down on activists masquerading as charities

A Mike Johnson power move can neuter the DSA — and make Democrats pick a side

I fled Castro’s nightmare — this new wave of immigrants is importing it

Democratic Socialists of America are all the rage. Its media-savvy candidates are competing for and winning primary and general elections against its parent, the Democratic Party, at the local, state, and federal levels. One of the things that stands out is how many of their candidates and leaders are immigrants or from first-generation immigrant families. […]

Harvested alive: Trump must step in before doctors farm humans for spare parts

The recent announcement by the Department of Health and Human Services that it will move to decertify one of the nation’s organ procurement organizations is one important element of a process to restore trust in America’s system of organ donation. But HHS should take further actions to build upon the Trump administration’s prior reforms and […]

The unfriendly skies

You’re not imagining it: Air travel really is becoming more unpleasant. Sure, COVID-19, germophobia, and mask mandates were a short-term catalyst of bad airline behavior, but there’s a deeper problem causing the skies to become less friendly: We no longer think it’s good or important to treat other people well. Doing unto others as you […]

Why losing an election breaks the Left (and why the Right survives it)

As the fall election season takes shape, voters say the country is on the wrong track by 24 points. Yet when asked whether they feel optimistic or pessimistic about America’s future, that deficit shrinks to just four points. That 20-point gap is telling. Americans are disgusted with the division of our politics, but they have […]

Two Trump economies: Why taking a ‘victory lap’ backfires in the grocery aisle

President Donald Trump has spent much of the summer highlighting the success of the American economy. Rising markets. Low unemployment. Billions of dollars in new investment. New factories and expanding domestic production. By many conventional measures, he has a case to make. Yet many Americans hear those achievements and ask a different question: If the […]
