Justice Department slams ‘politically motivated demands’ of DC Council asking govs to remove National Guard

The Justice Department slammed D.C. Council letters urging governors to recall National Guard troops, calling the demands "impotent theatrics."

Trump admin marks 15 straight months with zero border releases as apprehensions plunge 94%

President Donald Trump's administration says it has gone 15 straight months without a single release at the border as apprehensions drop 94%.

Washington killed 3,700 community banks — and refuses to let tech fix it

For generations, local bank branches served as the center of the community where people could safely hold their deposits, secure a mortgage, or obtain financing to launch a business.  Times have changed. Today, more banking than ever occurs online. Onerous federal regulations have shuttered thousands of banks. As the industry evolves, policymakers must ensure regulations […]

California is democratic socialism’s future — and it’s dead last

“Affordability” has become the buzzword in criticizing both the Trump administration and our longstanding capitalist system. Although I acknowledge the disparate impacts of the K-shaped economy, the Left’s constant harping on fairness and wealth inequality is largely a red herring. It is the Left’s own policies that have caused most of the damage, while free-market […]

Why your flight to Asia silently depends on the South Caucasus

The map of global aviation has been quietly redrawn. For decades, airlines crossing Eurasia could choose among multiple routes linking Europe and Asia. Today, military conflict, sanctions, and regional instability have dramatically narrowed those options. Russian airspace remains closed to many Western carriers. Iranian airspace carries growing operational risks. Successive crises across the Middle East […]

Inflation isn’t profit: Trump’s chance to end Uncle Sam’s phantom tax

President Donald Trump is reportedly considering another powerful tool for America’s pro-growth agenda: indexing capital gains taxes for inflation. The proposal, long championed by Larry Kudlow, deserves serious consideration. It would be the equivalent of adding another log to America’s economic-growth fire. The One Big Beautiful Bill strengthened incentives for businesses to invest, innovate, expand, […]

Break an acre, pay for 24: The legal extortion crushing homeowners

Imagine a store that, rather than making customers pay for items they break, requires them to pay 24 times the value of the broken item. People would stop shopping there because the rule is unfair. Yet cities across the nation are deceptively imposing a similar unfair system on their citizens through “no-net-loss” ordinances. In theory, […]

FDR weaponized the airwaves. Now Trump’s FCC is doing it again

History does not repeat itself, but it occasionally rhymes. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr’s latest broadcast market interventions rhyme much more closely with Franklin Roosevelt’s view of government than with Ronald Reagan’s. This should raise alarms, or as Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) summed it up last week, “Sometimes the FCC scares me right now.”  […]

Worth more than LeBron, Curry, and Ronaldo combined: The Guatemalan heist threatening US security

Somewhere in Guatemala City, a labor court has decided that a corporate insider is worth more, by the month, than Cristiano Ronaldo, Stephen Curry, and LeBron James combined. Not a typo. According to his own complaint, a former Tigo Guatemala executive wants his severance calculated on an “average monthly salary” of $4.47 million — a […]

26,000 truckers can’t read English road signs. Why are they driving 80,000-pound missiles?

On Aug. 7, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced a rule that never should have needed writing down: If you cannot read an English highway sign, you have no business piloting an 80,000-pound truck on an American interstate. Since Duffy’s crackdown began, more than 26,000 drivers have been pulled off the road for failing basic English […]

World War III has arrived, and we’re almost out of missiles

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine marked the beginning of the world’s first truly global strategic conflict since 1945, and the U.S. confrontation with Iran, watched closely by China, now threatens to fuse those overlapping rivalries into the broadest international war of the modern era. The trigger is that modern high-intensity warfare consumes key weapons far faster […]

Dearborn isn’t a ‘walk for peace’: How Tehran launders the extremism America refuses to see

The scenes from Dearborn, Michigan, where thousands of Shiite mourners marched through the streets to commemorate the 40th day of a death nearly 1,400 years old, deserve to be understood as more than material for internet debate. Children carrying banners, religious paraphernalia, and portraits of figures such as Khamenei and Nasrallah, alongside troubling chants and […]

The most dangerous socialists aren’t in DC. They’re running for governor

Francesca Hong didn’t win Wisconsin’s Democratic primary for governor. But her near-win should still worry Americans: Democratic Socialists of America candidates are now within striking distance of controlling one of the most powerful offices in state government. Governor’s races don’t get the attention they deserve, even though 36 states, including Wisconsin, are electing one this […]

National parks are a gold mine. Congress has a chance to save them from crumbling

Millions of Americans are flocking to national parks this summer, enriching their lives and fueling local economies. In 2024 alone, national parks welcomed 332 million visits, and visitor spending in nearby communities generated $56.3 billion in economic output and supported more than 340,000 jobs nationwide. But national parks and other public lands will suffer unless […]

We’re building Beijing’s spy network for them, one convenient device at a time

On July 28, the Federal Communications Commission added foreign-produced advanced robotic devices to its Covered List after national security agencies warned that networked robots could support surveillance, foreign intelligence collection, or remote manipulation. On Aug. 6, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr defended the broader campaign against Chinese technology as a way to reduce security risks before […]

Iran’s mullahs and the crown share the same existential threat — and it’s not Israel

Since the United States and Israel launched their Feb. 28 attacks, thousands have reportedly been killed, shipping routes have come under assault, and the Strait of Hormuz has become an instrument of coercion. Yet missiles, blockades, and negotiations cannot answer the central political question: Who can lead Iran beyond the Islamic Republic? That answer will […]
