Republicans have gone from being corporatists to entertaining every hair-brained populist economic scheme that panders to the “working class.” The greatest fear of the modern Republican is being called an “elitist.” However, the first thing to remember about former President Donald Trump’s proposal to replace the federal income tax with tariffs is that it’s never […]
PITTSBURGH — Two weeks ago, former President Barack Obama came here to rally support for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s campaign as her numbers began to wane in Pennsylvania. Before he took the stage, Obama chided black men at a Pittsburgh campaign field office because of internal polling numbers that showed the energy in the black […]
Vice President Kamala Harris may be counting on the fact that a bad joke from a comedian who supports former President Donald Trump will deliver the support of Puerto Rican voters, but her history of anti-Catholic bigotry is far worse.

Israel has banned the United Nations Relief and Works Agency from operating within its borders because it has rightly concluded that it doesn’t need to cooperate with an agency that sympathizes with and employs terrorists who want to kill Israeli civilians. The UNRWA has a long history of employing terrorists and openly telling people that […]
Former President Donald Trump should be commended for his energy, especially his energy while on the campaign trail. He is nearly 80 years old and arguably does more work in a day than his Democratic counterpart, Vice President Kamala Harris, who is nearly two decades younger. Look no further than Trump’s recent Pennsylvania blitz, in […]
In his books, The True and Only Heaven and The Revolt of the Elites, historian Christopher Lasch celebrated what he called “the spiritual discipline against resentment.” Despite the fact that “the world was not made for our convenience” and that there is plenty of pain and suffering, there is also what Lasch calls “the goodness […]
When the Soviet Union collapsed on Christmas Day, 1991, a wave of euphoria washed over the West. Barely two years had elapsed since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and suddenly, the Cold War was over.
