President Trump on Monday celebrated the biggest trophy yet for his tariff agenda: a Minnesota company's plans to build a $15 billion steel mill in Iowa, where midterm voters are being promised the first new steel plant built in the U.S. in 57 years.
“I give you my word, I will always level with you. … Keep everything I do in your service, thinking not of power, but of possibilities, not of personal interest, but the public good.” President Joe Biden made that pledge in his inaugural address. But just as Donald Trump broke his constitutional oath by attempting […]
Losing power and 251 Conservative-held seats in the United Kingdom’s House of Commons, former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak does not have a great many reasons to be happy. Subsequent to the election on Thursday, the Labour Party, led by new Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, has a powerful 174-seat majority. Nonetheless, Sunak offered a striking […]
Nineteen people were killed and at least 105 were shot over the long July Fourth weekend in Chicago. This is a 91% increase in shooting victims from last year’s July Fourth weekend. The high numbers show Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has failed in his primary duty of protecting Chicagoans from violent crime. After the shooting, […]
Democrats have been in free fall both in terms of their often-fragile mental health and according to all available polling data since President Joe Biden gave the worst debate performance in the history of Western civilization last month. The dementia-ridden 81-year-old is behind in every swing state, and he appears to be on track to be the first Democrat […]
As NATO heads of state gather in Washington for two days of talks and a 75th anniversary celebration of the trans-Atlantic alliance, another summit is occurring thousands of miles to the east that could be just as significant for the United States. On Monday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi flew to Moscow to meet with […]
More than 100 people were shot in Chicago this past weekend amid calls for the city to take further steps to combat gun violence. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and other city leaders asked for more federal resources for “community support,” while others more cogently blamed Illinois’ lenient policies on crime. The victims included women and […]
For all the talk of former President Donald Trump’s comments that he would be a dictator “for one day” after winning, less attention has been paid to the fact that Vice President Kamala Harris believes the president should be a dictator every day. There is a very real shot that Harris becomes the president if […]
The House of Representatives’s far-left “Squad” is likely to lose another member after last month’s embarrassing defeat of Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY). Socialist Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) is polling narrowly behind her primary opponent Wesley Bell, who had polled below Bush by double digits earlier this year. Bell is St. Louis County’s prosecuting attorney, and […]
I’ve voted for the Democratic candidate for president in every election since I could vote, all the way back to 1988. Now, at 55 years old, I’m a registered independent. And I will not vote for any Democratic candidate for president in this election, very possibly in any election ever again. But I also think […]
BRIDGEVILLE, Pennsylvania — Devlin Robinson wasn’t supposed to be at his Pennsylvania home that afternoon. Neither was his neighbor Mark Macala. And Adonis Whitmer, the FedEx driver who pulled in front of Macala’s driveway to deliver several packages? Well, he wasn’t supposed to be on that route that day either. Had any of those three […]
WHO ENABLED BIDEN? A CASE STUDY. On June 4, the Wall Street Journal published a story headlined, “Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping.” Based on interviews with 45 people, the article reported that associates described President Joe Biden as showing signs of age, “a president who appears slower now, someone who has both good […]
Religion seems to be flooding into public schools. This is perhaps most striking with Louisiana’s new law requiring schools to post the Ten Commandments in every classroom, but the Pelican State is not alone. Is this Christian Nationalism at work?
