New White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt didn’t spare any feelings in the briefing room on Friday. When answering a question about the White House’s response to the CIA’s announcement that it believes, with low confidence, that COVID-19 originated from a lab in Wuhan, China, Leavitt made representatives of the legacy media squirm in their […]
The Senate held a trio of high-profile hearings for Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Kash Patel last week. Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, will likely face the easiest confirmation path of the three. He appears to have the support of the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Also, the three […]
President Donald Trump‘s much-anticipated deregulation executive order, signed last week, goes further than anything he did in his first term. Not only does it require agencies to eliminate 10 regulations for every new one, but it also directly targets guidance documents, the unaccountable tools federal bureaucrats have long used to impose regulations without going through […]
After four years of utter lawlessness at the southern border, people have been granted a reprieve with the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Now, it’s time for Republicans and Democrats across the country to come together on a whole-of-government approach to secure our border for the interests of our great nation and its people, and […]
If the sharper writers and thinkers who support President Donald Trump want to find their original source, they could look to the Jewish intellectuals of postwar America.

Pointing to the Keystone State’s long history of innovation and abundance of resources, Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) rolled out a slate of energy policy proposals he promised would spark the state’s energy sector, create jobs, and lower energy costs for consumers. “Pennsylvania has long been a national energy leader, from Ben Franklin to today. But […]

Data from Nielsen Media Research revealed that Fox News attained its highest-rated January in cable news history, continuing its reign as the leader in programming. While topping the ratings is nothing new for Fox News — it […]
For Jena and Noor Chanaa, sisters who led George Mason University’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, calls for intifada were not mere protest slogans. They were exhortations to antisemitic violence. Law enforcement discovered the Chanaa sisters’ apparently lethal intent after an investigation into acts of antisemitic vandalism on campus led police to search their […]
After the failure of the Manchin-Barrasso Energy Permitting Reform Act in the last Congress and with the zone flooded by executive action, legislative approaches to permitting reform in a new Congress are also kicking into gear. There has been a groundswell of support for reforms of the National Environmental Policy Act since the Bush administration. […]
This April will mark the 50th anniversary of the start of Lebanon’s civil war. Palestinians, Israel, Syria, and postrevolutionary Iran played out their own regional Great Game in what was once a placid and cosmopolitan country. Beirut transformed from the Paris of the Middle East to its Mogadishu. The shaky peace of the 1990s allowed a […]
As told by New Zealand, rivers and forests are legitimate human ancestors. The country’s most recent conferral of personhood adds a mountain to the list and is a good example of the diversity, equity, and inclusion implications that President Donald Trump is trying to avoid. It is an example in principle, that is. Thankfully, the […]
A Norfolk Southern train derailed in the quiet town of East Palestine, Ohio, two years ago. After two years, you would think this story would be open and closed, that East Palestine would go back to being the small, working-class town it was. But you would be wrong. Its residents were betrayed by our government’s […]
Not to kick a donkey while it’s down, but a new poll from Quinnipiac University published last Wednesday shows the modern Democratic Party more unpopular than ever.
