Rep. Andrew Clyde calls the ruling removing the $200 tax on silencers and short-barreled rifles the greatest Second Amendment restoration in a century.
Oliver Larkin defended taxing billionaires "out of existence" but repeatedly refused to give Sean Hannity a specific tax rate during their heated exchange.
Every time we walk into a clinic or hospital, an invisible tax is added to our bill. It has nothing to do with the quality of our medicine, the skill of our surgeon, or the comfort of our room. Instead, it is the direct cost of a broken legal system. The U.S. medical malpractice framework […]
When I was younger, I was told, “Once it’s on the internet, it’s there forever.” This useful saying is followed by some but haphazardly discarded by others. A notorious trope is that politicians are always in public relations rehab thanks to past online statements, and that has never been truer for the new wave of […]
The Houthis have been running roughshod over the United States and its allies in the Middle East. Washington should respond by unleashing its chief regional pillar, Israel, against the Yemen-based terrorist group. American deterrence in the Middle East has been collapsing for the past four years, and the Houthis have played a starring role in that sad […]
We continue to lack a credible, public explanation about why the USS Gettysburg fired surface-to-air missiles at two F/A-18 fighter jets from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier in the Red Sea on Dec. 21. The pilot and weapons systems officer ejected safely from the first targeted jet, with minor injuries to one officer. […]
President-elect Donald Trump’s victory two months ago is a huge win for parents. Moreover, his nomination of Linda McMahon to lead the Education Department will benefit millions of students and families. Under her leadership, parents will be freed from educational handcuffs and empowered to get their children out of failing programs and districts. The current administration […]
JOE BIDEN’S ENDURING DECEPTIONS. As far as the press are concerned, Joe Biden has been the least accessible president in memory. There’s a reason for that. It’s been clear for a long time that the 82-year-old Biden is not mentally and physically up to the job. After it became politically safe for Democratic-supporting media outlets to […]
A slow-motion U.S. national security disaster has unfolded in Latin America over the past twenty years. This is a painful statement for me to make, because I was personally involved in the turnaround in U.S.-Latin American relations between 1980 and 1990. Before 1980, almost two-thirds of Latin America’s population lived under military or […]
The U.S. Navy’s submarine force is an essential element of our national security. Submarines deter our adversaries. They provide the most survivable arm of the U.S. military’s nuclear triad, capable of a devastating retaliatory strike in the event that China and/or Russia launches a surprise nuclear strike against the nation. However, the Navy’s attack submarines also […]
From a national security perspective, the most important quality in a commander in chief is the ability to manage risk. The United States faces innumerable threats ranging from terrorism to nuclear war, but all do not merit the same amount of government attention or investment. Understanding how much effort to apply and when is essential […]
The 21st century has not been kind to Christianity. While Europeans have voluntarily relinquished their faith, many other Christian communities remain under siege. All U.S. presidents pay lip service to faith, fewer are sincere in their own practice, and fewer still defend Christian communities abroad. President-elect Donald Trump should, however, make defense of besieged Christian communities a […]
Even if he is joking around, Denmark deserves better than President-elect Donald Trump’s refusal to rule out using force to turn its Greenland territory into the 51st American state. Denmark similarly deserves better than the silly grins on the faces of Donald Trump Jr. and Charlie Kirk as they run around Greenland pretending it will […]
Although most Americans don’t realize it, our military leaders assume that armed conflict with the People’s Republic of China is a matter of when not if. Pentagon thinkers who are briefed on our best intelligence about Beijing’s intentions assess that 2027 is the year that Chinese President Xi Jinping rolls the dice in an effort […]
The country once known for having the highest murder rate in the world, El Salvador, is now the safest country in Latin America. New figures from the Salvadoran government of President Nayib Bukele show only 114 murders in 2024. In the context of El Salvador’s recent history, 114 is astonishingly low. The trend line is […]
