The “Cornell 7” gang rape case is descending into the same lynch-mob hysteria as the notorious Duke lacrosse or “mattress girl” hoaxes of old — only with social media...
The first generation of Americans to watch their savings erased by inflation wore the uniform of the Continental Army. Washington’s soldiers were paid in paper Continentals printed by the wagonload, and by 1780 the currency had collapsed so thoroughly that “not worth a Continental” entered the national lexicon. The Founders never forgot the lesson, which […]
Last year, a Young Women for America ambassador in Nebraska (where the abortion drug is illegal) ordered the abortion drug from an Instagram page. She was not pregnant, but she filled out the online questionnaire, posing as an 18-week-pregnant minor. She did not get a receipt or order confirmation, but she did get a package […]
The Department of Labor (DOL) wants to help employers hold down drug costs. Instead, its latest move is likely to raise them. A proposed rule from the department would force pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to build a second, separate compliance system, on top of one Congress already passed months earlier. PBMs negotiate with pharmaceutical companies […]
It’s time to call an audible. America is looking for tomorrow’s workers in yesterday’s places. Employers continue searching for people who arrive with the right degree, the right experience, the right résumé, and every skill required to contribute on the first day. Then we act surprised when critical jobs remain unfilled. That is not simply […]
In the same vein that Ovaltine should be called “Roundtine,” the Democratic Socialists of America‘s Medicare for All plan should properly be called Medicaid for All. The DSA’s Workers Deserve Program claims it will fix the “broken healthcare system” by guaranteeing “universal healthcare at no cost to individuals, including complete access to reproductive and gender-affirming […]
President Donald Trump spent the last year breaking open a counter-drone system that kept too much authority bottled up in Washington. His June 2025 airspace order pushed federal agencies to build state and local detection capacity and a national training center. In December, he signed the FY2026 defense authorization with the SAFER SKIES Act, giving […]
Liberals, Democrats, socialists, communists, and others on the Left desperately want racial tensions and the deterioration of ethnic relations in the United States. It’s one of their most prevalent core values and a tenet of the cultural warfare they regularly unleash on American society. They deceptively claim they seek racial and ethnic harmony while not […]
You start by arguing against “market fundamentalism,” “neoliberalism,” and “extreme libertarianism,” and you end by arguing against economics. Vice President JD Vance is the latest postliberal to embrace what is now, for all intents and purposes, an anti-growth position. In his latest book, Communion, Vance inveighs against those perennial straw men, the GDP-obsessed economists. We keep […]
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is right about one thing: The Supreme Court has a legitimacy problem. He is wrong about what to do about it. The House minority leader recently called for “dramatic” Supreme Court reform and refused to rule out expanding the court or imposing term limits on justices. His argument reflects Democrats’ growing […]
I’ve spent 30 years drafting disclosure language for private placement memoranda. A disclosure has one job: warn the reader before he relies on something that might mislead him. New Mexico just tried to point that same tool at a joke. The Babylon Bee, the Christian satire site known for headlines no one mistakes for news, […]
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began this war. But assigning responsibility for how the war started is different from determining how it can end. After more than four years of fighting, the central question is no longer whether either side can impose a perfect outcome. It is whether a settlement can change the strategic calculation that […]
Two constant goals in the Trump administration’s tariff policies have been to bring the manufacturing industry back to the United States and to reduce U.S. dependence on China. In President Donald Trump’s words, “Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country.” Vice President JD Vance said U.S. dependence on China is “the very […]
While running for president in 2016, then-candidate Donald Trump once famously boasted, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK? It’s, like, incredible.” What’s incredible is that neither Trump in his hypothetical nor Luigi Mangione, the confessed killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, could […]
Turkey no longer confines its neo-Ottoman ambitions to the Middle East or North Africa. Yıldırım Holding’s Yilport recently secured a $1.62 billion deal to modernize and jointly operate El Salvador’s Acajutla and La Union ports under a 50-year concession. The agreement ranks as the largest private investment in Salvadoran history, and it aims to triple […]
