Graham Platner sinks to new low with latest Nazi tattoo spin

Graham Platner is a leftist Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Maine. He is a self-described communist, holds all manner of radical policy stances, and admittedly views white, rural Americans with outright contempt. He wrote that “all” police are bastards and appeared to endorse political violence. As his ideological and personal baggage have mounted, the […]

For Tax Day, consider a smarter way to invest in America’s students

After decades in the world of accounting and finance, including my time leading PricewaterhouseCoopers, I know all too well the complications of the U.S. tax code. But I’ve also seen firsthand how well-designed tax policy can drive investment, expand opportunity, and strengthen communities. The most effective policies align individual incentives with broader societal goals. The […]

Power surge: We were promised affordable electricity. Instead, we got higher prices

For years, Americans were told that strict controls on who could own and build power plants would foster competition and lower prices. But in large parts of the mid-Atlantic, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland — PJM; this area also includes other states — the reality has been far different since the 1990s restructuring wave. […]

Why the cycle of campus antisemitism never ends

Campus antisemitism doesn’t persist because universities are unaware, but because they make placating statements and gestures while refusing to meaningfully act. Last month, Jewish students testified before the United States Commission on Civil Rights. Numerous witnesses painted a bleak picture that should have settled the question, but it didn’t. The evidence that campus antisemitism remains […]

Viktor Orban was never America’s friend

Peter Magyar’s landslide election victory in Hungary has brought down Viktor Orban after 16 years in power. It’s a defeat for Moscow and Beijing, both of which counted Orban as a partner. But it’s also a defeat for the Trump administration, which openly and enthusiastically endorsed Orban. This American endorsement and Trump’s regard for Orban […]

The war on online privacy comes for VPNs

Imagine a statute criminalizing the placement of curtains in home windows. After all, people regularly commit terrible crimes in the privacy of their own homes — perpetrating domestic violence, cooking up deadly drugs, storing illegal contraband, harboring fugitives, running kitchen-table scams, etc. If at-home conduct were made visible to the police and the public, the […]

This Tax Day, manufacturers are open for business like never before

Why the Iran talks failed

Negotiations in Pakistan between the United States and Iran failed last weekend. This outcome was inevitable. The Trump administration wanted Tehran to dismantle its nuclear program, surrender its missile capabilities, and open the Strait of Hormuz unconditionally. But that plainly constituted capitulation for Tehran. The credible path toward a nuclear weapon is the Iranian regime’s […]

Pope Leo can’t have it both ways

The two people in the world who should feel most obliged to be thoughtful and restrained in their public statements are the president of the United States and the pope. But neither of the current incumbents seems willing or able to rise above his immediate political impulses as is necessary to protect the institution he […]

Time to close US bases in the Middle East

Days prior to the outbreak of war between the United States and Iran, the Pentagon evacuated most personnel from the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Their exit came after a quarter-century presence that began after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Qatar’s willingness to invest billions of dollars in the base to host Americans led the […]

If America can’t build, it can’t lead

If America can’t build, then America can’t lead. It really is that simple. Throughout our country’s history, the United States has stayed ahead of the curve because we’ve been able to build. Think factories, highways, ports, pipelines, power plants, and now even data centers — all of these innovations and developments have defined entire economic […]

Iran deserves Trump’s reciprocal blockade

President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. Navy to blockade the Strait of Hormuz after negotiations between the United States and Iran failed to end the war.
