When the Conservative Party of the United Kingdom won a landslide majority in the 2019 general election, it did so with a simple message of “Get Brexit Done,” which earned the party seats in traditional Labour Party strongholds. These seats were dubbed the “red wall” and voted to leave the European Union in 2016 but […]
MT. LEBANON, Pennsylvania — Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) held a campaign event for President Joe Biden in one of the wealthiest suburbs of Pittsburgh on Friday. His speech was an effort to put out the growing fire of calls for Biden not to seek reelection one week after his disastrous debate in Atlanta with former […]
A radio host and entrepreneur now has a better chance of defeating the administrative state thanks to the Supreme Court’s reversal of the Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. deference in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. The reversal will make it harder for federal regulators to take vague statutes and expand them to fit their agenda. Barry Sturner […]
So far the only elected Democrats who have publicly called on President Joe Biden to exit the presidential race are Reps. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) and Lloyd Doggett (D-TX). Both are members of the House. And that is no accident. Now, many more elected officials are telling journalists privately that they want Biden to step aside, […]
When we imagine the process of developing new drugs, we often picture scientists working with cutting-edge technology in gleaming laboratories. But there’s a side of pharmaceutical research that is darker, hasn’t changed in decades, and escapes most people’s notice: the widespread and often painful testing conducted on animals. We recently got a glimpse of that […]
The United Kingdom has a new prime minister in the form of Sir Keir Starmer. His Labour Party secured a majority of around 170 seats in Thursday’s election, giving him significant latitude to make new laws. Starmer is married with two teenage children. Law is something Starmer knows quite a bit about. Prior to his […]
The British elections on July 4 brought significant drama from the national results down to local races. George Galloway, a former member of Parliament, lost his reelection to Labour Party candidate Paul Waugh. Galloway has been the leader of the Workers Party in Britain since he founded it in 2019. Waugh is a former political […]
If anyone still thought our defense industrial base wasn’t in serious trouble, the most recent Government Accountability Office report on how we acquire and advance new weapons systems should set people straight. By looking at the characteristics and performance of 101 of the Pentagon’s costliest weapon programs, the GAO found that more than half of its […]
The general election in the United Kingdom revealed two things: First, that the incumbent Conservative Party has lost its mandate with voters, and second, that it is possible to count millions of votes in short order. Before the sun rose on July 5 in the U.K., the results for 648 of the 650 parliamentary constituencies […]
After the legacy media were forced to admit the obvious — that President Joe Biden’s mental decline is accelerating faster than a Kennedy approaching a lake — the entire political apparatus flipped overnight. After spending years defending Biden as a deeply qualified, deeply intelligent, and deeply alive political figure, they uniformly dropped their Biden 2024 […]
Civil society has deteriorated over the last three decades as people have withdrawn from civic life. The root cause of this trend lies in our failed education system, which has substituted nation-building civic education with destructive activism. I’ve seen the results of this failed education firsthand in the classroom as a political science professor. Today’s […]
The rot runs deeper than we thought. In May, the public received another update from the Social Security trustees confirming that the Social Security Trust Fund will be insolvent in nine years. But buried in the data was the alarming statistic that the total cost of Social Security insolvency has ballooned to $615 trillion in […]
Determined to subjugate Taiwan under Chinese Communist Party rule, China is building warships and weapons at a vast pace and scale. Our military — and economy — simply is not ready. If Taiwan falls, the American alliance structure in the Pacific will suffer a potentially deadly blow. China will be able to compel the political […]
As we celebrated the Fourth of July last week and reflected on the past, present, and future of our nation, I was reminded of something Thomas Jefferson once wrote: “It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.” This is a fiscal imperative and moral obligation that has gone ignored […]
