America’s cultural foundations are cracking. Marriage has been redefined and weakened, the family cast aside as outdated, and traditional ideas of manhood attacked as toxic. The result is a nation of lonely, disconnected individuals — unhappier, less stable, and increasingly unable to sustain the free institutions that made America exceptional. Timothy Goeglein’s new book, What […]
In the early 2010s, I was sitting in a park in north Tehran with an Iranian intelligence officer who didn’t know I had infiltrated his operation. He asked me a question: Do you know how to boil a frog? If you throw it into boiling water, it jumps out. But if you place it in […]
PITTSBURGH — David Holmberg explains that his first week on the job as the CEO of Highmark included a private lunch with the then-PNC Financial Chair Jim Rohr at the iconic Duquesne Club in the heart of the city.

Post-election celebrations erupted in the streets of Budapest over the weekend after Hungarian voters ousted Prime Minister Viktor Orban after 16 years, handing pro-EU opposition leader Peter Magyar a supermajority and depriving Moscow of its closest friend inside NATO.

James Carville, a longtime adviser to former President Bill Clinton, coined the phrase, “It’s the economy, stupid,” to capture voters’ anxiety about their personal finances, jobs, and the cost of living. That same anxiety exists today, and employers, employees, and patients are looking for relief. Right now, far too many Americans are being priced out […]
Imagine it was someone other than President Donald Trump. Suppose a different leader were posting deranged rants in the small hours, insulting the spiritual leader of 1.3 billion Catholics, threatening entire civilizations with annihilation, and comparing himself to God. What would be the reaction? We all know the answer. Both parties would be rushing to […]
War Secretary Pete Hegseth thinks of President Donald Trump as a modern-day Jesus. Or at least that’s what he appeared to suggest at his Pentagon briefing Thursday morning. Hegseth was customarily kinetic toward the press, but this time he reached for a Biblical comparison to smite his scribbling adversaries. “The Pharisees — the so-called and […]
Amnesty for illegal immigrants is a very real possibility right now, because a small band of renegade House Republicans might cross party lines to work with Democrats to seize control of the floor via a discharge petition and pass a bill over the objections of the House GOP leadership and the vast majority of the […]
Through the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, the 1857 Dred Scott case, and back to the beginning of the republic, Supreme Court politics have mattered more than it’s been quite polite to acknowledge.
