Congratulations to the UCLA women’s basketball team, who not only brought home their program’s first NCAA championship, but also earned the hometown respect that...
President Donald Trump warned on Sunday that unless Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, he will order the bombing of Iran’s critical infrastructure. As the president put it, “Tuesday will be power plant day, and bridge day, all wrapped up in one, Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open […]
Colorado has quietly become the most authoritarian state in the country, being dragged in front of the Supreme Court again and again over its repeated violations of the Constitution. In an 8-1 ruling, the Supreme Court struck down Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy” for gender-confused children. What that means, in practice, is that Colorado banned […]
We talk about school choice as if it represents a radical new idea: parents deciding where their children go to school or how they should be educated. But here’s an equally radical question, seldom asked: Who’s choosing now? In a traditional, zoned public school district, families are assigned a school based largely on their address. […]
The British constitution rarely changes in dramatic leaps. More often it shifts incrementally, one reform at a time, until the cumulative effect is profound. The latest reform removing the remaining hereditary lords from Parliament’s House of Lords may appear modest in that a few dukes, earls, and marquesses won’t be present at the State Opening […]
The United States is the world leader in innovation. But America’s adversaries are seeking to both pirate and profit from this innate advantage. A new piece of legislation, the Chip Security Act, ensures that the U.S. will retain its cutting edge. The act deserves broad and bipartisan support. Semiconductors are foundational to national security. They […]

George Washington, the Continental Congress, and the men and women whose bravery and sacrifice led up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. April 6, 1776 Gen. George Washington has left his headquarters […]
For decades, Washington talked about supply chain resilience. But talk is cheap, and there was little done to achieve it. Critical minerals strategies gathered dust. Manufacturing know-how drifted offshore. And with respect to copper — the backbone of every military system, data center, and power grid in America — China quietly built the vast majority […]
President Donald Trump was elected to enforce immigration law and deport criminal illegal immigrants admitted under the Biden administration. Now, a year later, polls claim Americans oppose that effort. Don’t take those numbers at face value. If public opinion is shifting at all, it says less about the policy and more about the information environment […]
The Trump administration is moving the headquarters of the Forest Service from Washington, D.C., to Salt Lake City. The decision is the right one and, in a small way, restores political and economic power to citizens. Other federal entities should follow suit. Washington has become a behemoth it was never meant to be. What was […]
