The Trump administration is set to withdraw some National Guard troops from Chicago and Portland, Ore., according to multiple reports. The New York Times reported Sunday that two U.S. officials said hundreds of National Guard soldiers were being pulled by the Defense Department from the two cities. The officials also said that around 200 members...
Reps. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) and Don Bacon (R-Neb.) on Sunday pitched why their bipartisan Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies extension proposal is necessary before the end-of-year expiration date. Their plan, formed with lawmakers from both parties, would extend the current subsidies for the next two years and place an income cap on those making between...
The Constitution of the United States lays out a complex scheme of governance that has mostly worked for the 237 years since it became effective with the ratification of the ninth state, New Hampshire, in 1788. There have been exceptions, of course. Abraham Lincoln took extraordinary steps to quell the rebellion of eleven Southern states. […]
California Republicans are now pushing a proposal to split the state into two. While that will obviously never happen, it does highlight just how untenable the political situation in California has become under Democratic single-party rule. The proposal from Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher would cut the state into two, with the “Democratic” state making up most of California’s coast and […]

One would never know it by the despicable comments of Democrats, liberals, and others on the Left regarding the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, but the agencies are working diligently to make the country much safer. This includes removing illegal immigrants, specifically those with a violent criminal background. In return, […]
Modern Americans tend to make two mistakes when it comes to understanding culture, and both are tied to individualism. First, we think about decision-making solely on the individual level, thus failing to consider how cultural trends can take hold. Second, we seem to think that other people’s personal lives are none of our business — […]
When Robert Lulgjuraj, a Republican from Sterling Heights, Michigan, began his campaign for the state’s 10th Congressional District last week, the former prosecutor quickly earned the support of Republican grassroots activist Brian Pannebecker, a retired autoworker from Macomb County who worked tirelessly to bring home Michigan for President Donald Trump last November. “Robert, like me was […]
With the end of President Donald Trump’s run as the nation’s pivotal figure in sight (no, he can’t secure a third term), the post-Trump political landscape is beginning to take form. And while Democrats continue to languish, trouble also brews for the GOP’s long-term viability. First, the Democrats’ woes: On Wednesday, the New York Times […]
The FBI raid on former national security adviser John Bolton last Friday for alleged mishandling of classification was suspect from the start. At least if the president’s critics are to be believed. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) described the raid as “another step in Trump’s march toward authoritarianism.” And Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) called the raid […]

Not only are people too often stunned by governmental intrusion into their personal lives, but bureaucrats regularly cut constitutional corners to make it easier to intrude. Fortunately, in several recent decisions, the Supreme Court found that administrative ease never justifies a disregard for fundamental individual rights. […]
America stands at a crossroads, but one truth is undeniable: Since President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, our nation has been reminded of what it looks like to lead with strength, clarity, and conviction. The question that some in the woke media now ask — “Are you better off since […]
Any proposal put forward by District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser would not, to say the least, seem likely to be favored by President Donald Trump. The two are at odds over Trump’s takeover of the district’s police and general disdain for D.C. home rule. Bowser on Trump, Trump on Bowser. But, though she would […]
President Donald Trump has a flair for the dramatic, and that was on full display Monday when he signed an executive order titled “Prosecuting Burning of the American Flag.” “You burn a flag, you get one year in jail. You don’t get 10 years, you don’t get one month,” Trump said. “You get one year […]
