Former Army helicopter pilot Matt Van Epps bucked the recent trend of right-wing electoral disasters on Tuesday, defeating Democratic state Rep. Aftyn Behn in the special House election for my district, Tennessee‘s 7th Congressional District, after Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) announced his resignation this summer. Amid the bizarre pattern of nationalizing local politics, middle Tennessee […]
Former President Joe Biden perfectly demonstrated the folly of liberal diversity, equity, and inclusion policies when he hired Karine Jean-Pierre as his White House press secretary. Jean-Pierre was not fit for the job, everyone admits today. Her promotion to a job for which she was clearly unqualified pokes a hole in many liberal arguments for […]
Shortly after Republican candidate Matt Van Epps defeated Democrat Aftyn Behn in an off-year special House election in Tennessee, media in Washington, D.C., immediately began the time-honored tradition of hyperanalyzing the outcome to predict the fortunes of political parties. These elections, though, rarely tell us anything useful. In 2023, Democrats won off-year races in Virginia, […]
California‘s first-in-the-nation Fast Food Council is another one of its run-of-the-mill duds, proving that the state’s obsession with bureaucracy for bureaucracy’s sake is suffocating California taxpayers and businesses. The council, designed to micromanage regulations of the fast-food industry (including minimum wage hikes), has not had a leader since May, when Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) appointed its chairman […]
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and with the holiday season approaching, consumers were not reluctant to start spending over the Thanksgiving holiday — especially online. Despite the doomsday economic projections of Democrats everywhere who predicted a holiday season and current national economy that would rival the plight of the Joads in The […]
DO VOTERS CARE ABOUT A ‘PRESIDENT OF PEACE’? President Donald Trump sometimes calls himself the “president of peace” and says he has “ended eight wars” in less than a year in office. His critics quibble with this or that claim, but politically, there is a bigger problem with the “ended eight wars” assertion: Hardly anyone cares. […]
This is the fifth Washington Examiner op-ed documenting our team’s whistleblowing experience related to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Hurricane Maria recovery debacle in Puerto Rico. What does a failed watchdog look like? The Department of Homeland Security‘s Office of Inspector General offers the clearest example in modern federal oversight: a measurable, documented collapse, demonstrated […]
CONNELLSVILLE, Pennsylvania — Thirteen years ago, hundreds of locals lined the streets of the downtown business district of this Fayette County city to see the train arrive … sort of. It was actually a nearly 30,000-pound model railroad display that was being delivered by a massive double-wide tractor-trailer hauling the late Harry Clark’s labor of […]
In global financial markets, quietly, silver has become the hot precious metal. Currently, silver is trading at around $59 per ounce, a price appreciation of around 80% since the beginning of the year. In the last 50 years, the price of silver has spiked three times. In the early 1980s, the Hunt Brothers tried to corner the market for silver. That speculation failed, and the price […]
A fishy reek is emanating from the latest scandal about President Donald Trump’s military campaign against drug runners in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean. U.S. forces have so far attacked more than a dozen fast boats on known drug routes, destroying them and their cargo and killing some 80 members of their crews. […]
Across the country, student-athletes are returning to the field and the gymnasium. Stadiums are roaring to life, tailgates stretch for miles, and millions of Americans across the country devote hours to college sports. Still, behind the highlight reels and packed stands, college athletics stands at a crossroads. Undoubtedly, the expansion of name, image, and likeness […]
Urias-Orellana v. Bondi is not a case name that history will remember in the way it does Roe v. Wade or Obergefell v. Hodges. The question presented to the Supreme Court is narrow and legalistic, but the facts demonstrate just how broken our asylum system is. On or about June 28, 2021, Douglas Humberto Urias-Orellana, […]
