Body cameras can flip the ICE debate just as they did with police sentiment

The widespread use of body cameras neutered anti-police sentiment and the Black Lives Matter movement. It should be a top priority of the Trump administration to fit all Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers with body cameras quickly, so as to do the same to the “Abolish ICE” movement. The ICE shooting in Houston was quickly […]

Four banned books Dua Lipa should carry in her new library

Dua Lipa is a singer and songwriter based in London, and now she has propped up a library. I think that’s great. The world needs more book-peddlers, and everyone should read more books. Lipa is marketing her library as a repository of “banned books,” which sounds transgressive and edgy until you see her list. Out […]

Trump’s Hormuz tolls were designed to jolt the world to attention

President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the United States would impose a 20% toll on the value of any cargo being transported by a vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

The dumbest trade deal nobody signed is costing you at the grocery store

When people think about threats to their food supply, they picture drought and disease impacting crops and livestock. Few think about sulfur and geopolitics. However, this unassuming yellow element is an essential ingredient in the phosphate fertilizer that every farmer in the country depends on. It has quietly become the latest front in China’s campaign […]

Britain finally caught up to what Iranian dissidents knew all along

On Monday, the United Kingdom took one of the most consequential steps in its policy toward the Iranian regime by designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. The decision criminalizes membership in, support for, or public promotion of the Guard in Britain and reflects a fundamental reassessment of the threat posed by […]

Everyone’s obsessing over the wrong economic number

America does not suffer from a shortage of economic policies. It suffers from the absence of a unifying long-term economic doctrine that survives changes in administration and organizes the nation’s economic policies around a single strategic objective: expanding America’s productive capacity. Without that doctrine, America risks making good individual policy decisions without achieving a great […]

Tucker Carlson had nothing to say about Lindsey Graham’s death but plenty to say about Israel

Tucker Carlson showed exactly where his priorities lie over the past few days. While Sen. Lindsey Graham, a true giant in the Senate for more than 23 years, died suddenly after a brief illness, the circumstances of which the FBI is investigating, Carlson stayed silent. Instead, he recently rushed to amplify Rep. Ro Khanna’s (D-CA) […]

The riot tax: How Berkeley bills everyone else for its own cowardice

Mario Savio climbed on a police car in Sproul Plaza in December 1964 and told 3,000 Berkeley students to put their bodies on the gears of the university machine until it stopped. The Free Speech Movement he launched that fall forced Berkeley to guarantee students the right to political activity on campus. Berkeley became the […]

The New York Times stumped for Stalin. Now it’s mooning over Mamdani

Nothing much has changed with the New York Times over the years. In the 1930s, thanks to Walter Duranty, the so-called “newspaper of record” was effectively cheerleading for Joseph Stalin’s communism. Today, in Jia Lynn Yang’s “How American Socialism Changed, and Stormed the Democratic Party,” it displays a similar sympathy for a modernized version of […]

While Colorado burns, Washington says ‘contractors not acceptable’

After an unseasonably, but not unprecedented, warm winter, the West is bone dry, water supplies are dangerously low, and wildfire risk is fearfully high. Parts of Colorado and Utah are infernos that, despite Herculean efforts and the deaths of three young firefighters, are not contained. Thank God, these fires are not as bad as those […]

Teaching the most pro-American nation to hate America

There is a street in Tbilisi named after George W. Bush. Count the world’s capitals with a street named for an American president. It will not take you long. For years, Georgia was the largest non-NATO contributor of troops in Afghanistan. For years, International Republican Institute polling found roughly three-quarters of Georgians backing a pro-Western […]

Roy Cooper found his conscience two hours after Chuck Schumer did

Former Gov. Roy Cooper wants North Carolina to believe his call for Graham Platner to leave the Maine Senate race was an act of conscience. The timeline tells a different story. Cooper moved only after Democratic leadership in Washington moved first, and not a moment before.  Start the clock on Oct. 21, 2025. That is […]

Americans in need are about to lose Medicaid — over paperwork, not eligibility

From the day the government put Medicaid on the chopping block, I’ve warned that these cuts would have serious consequences for patients, hospitals, and the communities that depend on them. As a retired orthopedic surgeon, I cared for patients in rural Michigan for more than 35 years, many of whom relied on Medicaid to afford […]
