President Donald Trump has a constitutional obligation to check his ego at the door when it comes to military readiness. Increasingly, he is failing to do so, and it is having deleterious consequences for the Navy. Trump reacted petulantly to concerns about conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. Operating in the Arabian Sea, […]
American families are shrinking for all sorts of reasons, but a big one is the difficulty of schlepping a lot of children around. Now that a guy with nine children, former Rep. Sean Duffy, might be our next transportation secretary, it may be time that we start thinking about transportation policy to make big families […]
Adm. Sam Paparo leads the U.S. military’s Indo-Pacific Command. INDOPACOM is responsible for deterring and, if necessary, defeating China in what would be the nation’s largest war effort since 1945. Fortunately, Paparo is widely regarded within the U.S. military, intelligence community, and by close allies as an exceptionally impressive officer. That matters because what Paparo […]
There is no other way around it and no way to downplay it: New York City’s pro-criminal policies are getting its residents killed. On Monday, Ramon Rivera went on a stabbing tour of New York City, murdering Angel Lata Landi, Chang Wang, and Wilma Augustin. The stabbing spree spanned two and a half hours and […]
A bipartisan national congressional commission is acutely needed to answer the questions the Biden administration won’t on the worst mass migration border crisis in...
President-elect Donald Trump condemned Biden administration plea deals with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, mastermind of the 9/11 bombings, and two of his co-defendants that would enable them to escape the death penalty. Only when the families reacted with outrage did Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin backtrack. It may be too late. Earlier this month, a military […]
Buck Sexton was kind enough to have me on his show on Tuesday to talk about my new book, Sex and the Citizen, President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks, and Trump’s plans for mass deportations. The whole 25-minute segment is worth watching, but I did want to revisit why I am cautiously optimistic that deportations will […]
As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to reenter the Oval Office, following a historic victory and a series of strong foreign policy appointments, his agenda includes an unusual surprise: “save TikTok.” The popular video-based social media platform currently faces the prospect of a ban in the United States. Whether the new administration can deliver on this promise […]
President-elect Donald Trump may have made a mistake in choosing Fox News personality Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense. However, the nomination merits an open mind. Hegseth is a problematic choice. He isn’t as ludicrous or insulting a selection as former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general, former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for […]
President-elect Donald Trump famously stated he has “concepts of a plan” for healthcare reform. Now, those concepts may soon become reality. Here are five ways Trump and a Republican Congress can reduce health costs and expand access to affordable healthcare. 1.

On Tuesday, Georgia rested its case in the murder trial of Laken Riley, the 22-year-old Georgia nursing student who was allegedly brutally murdered by illegal immigrant Jose Ibarra. Prosecutors said Ibarra murdered Riley because she “refused to be his rape victim.” It was a ruthless murder that could and should have been avoided. Riley should […]
In 2000, on behalf of helicopter pilots, some of whom flew combat missions during the Vietnam War, and others, I sued the National Park Service (NPS) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for regulations that restricted their recreational tours over Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP) in Arizona. In 1987, Congress mandated that the NPS restore “natural […]
President-elect Donald Trump announced he would create a Department of Government Efficiency, spearheaded by entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, to find ways to save taxpayer dollars. Say what you will about the ability of Musk and Ramaswamy to build successful businesses, but it is likely that they have never encountered a challenge as difficult […]
