Admitting Ukraine difficulty, Putin rejects peace and pledges ‘Novorossiya’ imperium

President Vladimir Putin has signaled Russia’s disinterest in new peace negotiations with Ukraine. Instead, he is recharacterizing his war on Ukraine as an imperial restoration project. While he has always viewed Ukraine as a Russian limb, Putin’s rhetoric reflects his need to consolidate Russians amid a failing war effort. Putin’s latest comments came in an […]

America’s suicide pact: Why the republic may not survive another 250 years

As our republic marks its semiquincentennial, 2 in 5 people doubt it will endure as a single nation for another quarter millennium. The real threat is internal: can shared civic purpose, restraint on faction, and strategic clarity be recovered before the trajectory hardens? Recent polls also show that two-thirds of Democrats view socialism more favorably […]

MAHA Monday at the Great American State Fair mixes politics and plywood with root canal warnings

Welcome to Tuesday’s edition of Washington Secrets, which arrives groggy after a day in the sun and a night staying up too late watching World Cup soccer. So just what is the Great American State Fair like? Well, in some ways, it is a perfect encapsulation of the nation in 2026: a raw display of […]

Our unshakable spirit is most notable in the simplest moments

DOUGLAS HEIGHTS, Pa. — We planned the perfect neighborhood block party to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, complete with flags, food, and clear skies. Then, the sky opened up. But instead of running inside to our screens, Douglas Heights stayed out — and the kids turned a flooded street into something magical. What happened in our […]

The only movement that can resuscitate the American dream

The old adage is true: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Businesses, the military, families — none can survive on good intentions alone. Families cannot budget with good intentions. Schools, charities, public agencies, and civic organizations should not be exempt from the same standard.  Yet across public life, we too often measure […]

How higher education has evolved in a global economy

I previously discussed how universities operate and the institutional forces reshaping modern higher education: the business imperatives, the admissions realities, the tenure system, the research incentives, and the funding relationships that quietly influence the academic environment. Now I ask the more important question: Given all of that, what does a university education actually deliver that […]

Oh no! Kratom battle exposed as an industry scare campaign

You may have seen the controversy over kratom and its 7-OH compound in the news recently. What you might not know is that the squabble stems from a ginned-up campaign by one politically connected market segment trying to extinguish an innovative sector of the market. And ironically, the established kratom companies are using the same […]

Special Olympics just exposed the fraud of virtue signaling

Last week, Minneapolis hosted the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games. About 3,000 athletes, 1,500 coaches, and over 10,000 volunteers, plus families, friends, and other supporters, poured into the city to support something. What unfolded wasn’t abstract ideology or curated social media theater. It was something rarer: a living display of citizenship, sportsmanship, manners, empathy, fairness, […]

Beautiful, but no utopia: Three wishes for America’s 250th birthday

As we celebrate America’s grand 250th birthday, a sweet, timeless song resonates across this great land, carrying the weight of two and a half centuries of history: “O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties; Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown […]

Will the ‘Quality Learing Center’ be at Tim Walz’s state fair?

As the United States begins its main festivities for our nation’s 250th anniversary celebration, Democrats are still exhibiting animosity, bitterness, and resentment over many of the attractions and celebratory efforts coordinated by the Trump administration. Severe levels of unhingedness have been noticeable in recent weeks with liberals, socialists, communists, and others on the contemporary Democratic […]

On This Day: The American experiment suspended on a razor’s edge

The following is an installment of On This Day, a series celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by following the actions of Gen. George Washington, the Continental Congress, and the men and women whose bravery and sacrifice led up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. On this day, June 30, 1776, the American Revolution was […]

Biden’s pardon doesn’t erase Fauci’s catastrophic legacy — it implies guilt

Acceptance of a presidential pardon carries legal weight. The Supreme Court once observed that accepting a pardon carries an implication of guilt. Former President Joe Biden’s accompanying remark that the grant to Anthony Fauci should not be mistaken for evidence of wrongdoing carries no judicial weight whatsoever. It is, one supposes, the sort of thing […]

Why is Iraq hosting the Islamic Republic’s farewell?

Iraq is a sovereign country. It should not be used as a stage for the political theater of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Reports that funeral ceremonies for Iran’s late supreme leader Ali Khamenei are expected to pass through Iraq, including Najaf and Karbala, should alarm anyone who still believes Iraq’s state institutions must answer […]

New fashioned: From the very beginning, American style has been democratic
