President-elect Donald Trump has signaled his intention to try to abolish the Education Department, long considered wasteful in a nation where public education is provided locally. If he were to succeed — a long shot, to be sure — state and local education overseers would have to step up to ensure quality education. On this […]
As Turkish troops amass on the border, preparing to invade northeast Syria, Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) are threatening sanctions unless they agree to a “sustained ceasefire.” This comes after Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s failed diplomatic efforts during a recent trip to Turkey. Even during the operation to overthrow the […]
The reaction to the announcement of Caitlin Clark as Time Magazine’s 2024 Athlete of the Year is, in many ways, a microcosm of the years, if not decades, of left-wing indoctrination on the country’s culture regarding race.

Every Christmas, Congress delivers people in the United States a lump of coal disguised as a continuing resolution or a thousands-page spending bill called an omnibus. Instead of handing out a Christmas bonus in the form of responsible governance, Congress forces an annual deduction from people to fund Santa’s workshop here in Washington, D.C. The […]
