Ken Paxton unveils a four-point plan targeting data centers in the Lone Star State as he and James Talarico trade blows over rising power and water costs.
Jared Kushner’s recent meeting with Hamas is a mistake. The Trump administration risks granting legitimacy to a terrorist group responsible for the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. It could upend the prospects for a peaceful future for Gazans and Israelis alike. On August 16, Kushner, who is President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and frequent […]
Liberal media are already trying to erase any record of Vice President Kamala Harris being tasked with fixing the border crisis. Will they also try to absolve her of her role in President Joe Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal? Harris’s vulnerabilities on the border crisis have led liberal media to pretend that she had nothing to […]
Nikki Haley, former United Nations ambassador and presidential candidate, was interviewed Thursday for the first time since speaking at the Republican National Convention. She defended her decision to endorse former President Donald Trump and spoke about President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 election. Haley told CNN’s Jake Tapper she “wasn’t surprised” that Biden […]
Vice President Kamala Harris has made it clear that she wants to protect Hamas in ways that essentially would keep the terrorist organization in power in Gaza and that she will continue President Joe Biden’s policies that embolden and empower terrorists.

The University of Louisville’s latest arguments in front of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals do not inspire confidence that its medical school is a place for open debate on important topics.

A wise man once said, “To make no mistakes is not in the power of man, but from their errors and mistakes, the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.” With this sentiment, consider this a plea for former President Donald Trump to move on from Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH). I write this as […]
Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) has been heralded as a sort of intellectual progenitor of “Trumpism” as a political philosophy. The Ohio senator’s career has evolved from his bestselling memoir and excursions in venture capital to becoming former President Donald Trump’s running mate on the 2024 GOP ticket. But for all of […]
Blame those conservatives who insisted so loudly and for so long that it was going to happen. Blame the conspiracy theorists, who ended up being right once again when the conspiracy turned out to be real. Thanks to them, we were all too ready to accept it when it happened — to accept that Joe […]
In the ever-expanding category of political behavior that is shocking but hardly surprising is Vice President Kamala Harris’s ostentatious snub of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he addressed a joint session of Congress on July 24.

Real poverty in the United States is largely confined to those individuals who suffer from mental illness or are habitual criminals.

The problem is that politicians still support the welfare state and the Democratic Party wants to dramatically expand the welfare state. Voters need to […]
The American political landscape continues to feel the aftershocks of President Joe Biden’s announcement that he will not seek a second term. Many questions still linger, including about Biden’s health as well as the state of a Trump–Harris electoral contest.
