If there has been one trend that has become glaringly obvious in 2025, it is arguably the toxicity of right-wing so-called influencers. It is 59 days into the new year, and over that time, this cadre of attention-seekers has regularly embarrassed itself with horrific decision-making, narcissism, and thirst for attention. Look no further than Thursday’s […]
President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance engaged in a stunning argument with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office on Friday. The meeting underlined the personality clash afflicting Trump’s relationship with his Ukrainian counterpart. Where Zelensky is arrogant and incapable of offering charismatic gratitude, Trump is ignorant of Ukrainian concerns and Russia’s […]
Trust in government and science is at an all-time low. Only about a third of adults trust the public health system, and barely half have a great deal of trust in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The scientific community is dealing with rampant fraud, with over 10,000 research papers being retracted in 2023 […]
The only Democrat more delusional than those who forgot that they used to have their own Joe Rogan is Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA). He somehow believes he’s the man to replace the podcast luminary who was a Bernie Sanders backer and lifelong liberal until the Left lost its mind. Undaunted by managing the single most […]
To the disturbance of many, alleged sex trafficker Andrew Tate has returned to America after living most of his life in Britain and Romania.

The U.S. plastics industry is often overlooked in policy discussions, but its impact on our economy, national security, and technological leadership is undeniable. Across the country, millions of jobs depend on plastics manufacturing, and the materials we produce are foundational to everything from modern infrastructure to medical advancements. Yet, misguided efforts to restrict domestic production […]
“We are committed to bringing the Iranians to going back to the 100,000 barrels a day of oil exports,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Feb. 14. “If we get [Iran] back to Trump 1.0 levels, I think they will be in severe economic distress,” he added. While Bessent’s first statement may be too ambitious, his second […]
Since the end of January, there has been a measles outbreak in West Texas and now New Mexico. This week, an unvaccinated child in Texas died of measles. According to news reports, the school-age child is from a largely Mennonite area of the state. Mennonites usually favor religious exemptions for vaccinations. While measles outbreaks are not new, […]
In an agreement that shocked Hollywood, the rights to James Bond have gone to Amazon. 007 fans are freaking out, but Amazon may do Bond right. The key is to return to the source material: the books of Ian Flemming. In recent years, Daniel Craig has depicted James Bond as a killing machine, an orphan with […]
One of my favorite moments of Mitch McConnell’s tenure as Senate Republican leader came after Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) unveiled the Green New Deal. Recall that the initial plan peddled by Ocasio-Cortez was so astoundingly socialistic — bans on gas-powered cars, meat, air travel, and free housing and salaries for […]
America is coalescing around nuclear energy as a cornerstone of the nation’s future power strategy. From the Trump administration’s pro-nuclear policies to recent legislation earning broad bipartisan support, for the first time in decades, there’s a shared commitment to expanding nuclear capacity to meet growing energy demands and environmental goals. But if the U.S. is […]
At the Battle of San Jacinto, Texas, revolutionaries faced Mexican Gen. Santa Anna and his men in a fight that not only secured Texas independence but lived on in glory. Nearly 200 years later, Texans are fighting another war with Mexico: The war for water. Under the 1944 Water Treaty, the United States and Mexico […]
President Donald Trump moves like an ocean. It is often violently stormy on the surface, so tempestuous that it is dangerous to get anywhere near it. But that apparent and sometimes real danger does not determine whether the tide is coming in or going out — ebbing toward failure or flooding toward success. The Trump […]
