Voters — including Republicans — want the convenience of voting by mail. But they want to trust that their ballot won’t be canceled out by a fraudulent one.
Last week, Minneapolis hosted the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games. About 3,000 athletes, 1,500 coaches, and over 10,000 volunteers, plus families, friends, and other supporters, poured into the city to support something. What unfolded wasn’t abstract ideology or curated social media theater. It was something rarer: a living display of citizenship, sportsmanship, manners, empathy, fairness, […]
As we celebrate America’s grand 250th birthday, a sweet, timeless song resonates across this great land, carrying the weight of two and a half centuries of history: “O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties; Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown […]
As the United States begins its main festivities for our nation’s 250th anniversary celebration, Democrats are still exhibiting animosity, bitterness, and resentment over many of the attractions and celebratory efforts coordinated by the Trump administration. Severe levels of unhingedness have been noticeable in recent weeks with liberals, socialists, communists, and others on the contemporary Democratic […]
The following is an installment of On This Day, a series celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by following the actions of Gen. George Washington, the Continental Congress, and the men and women whose bravery and sacrifice led up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. On this day, June 30, 1776, the American Revolution was […]
Acceptance of a presidential pardon carries legal weight. The Supreme Court once observed that accepting a pardon carries an implication of guilt. Former President Joe Biden’s accompanying remark that the grant to Anthony Fauci should not be mistaken for evidence of wrongdoing carries no judicial weight whatsoever. It is, one supposes, the sort of thing […]
Iraq is a sovereign country. It should not be used as a stage for the political theater of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Reports that funeral ceremonies for Iran’s late supreme leader Ali Khamenei are expected to pass through Iraq, including Najaf and Karbala, should alarm anyone who still believes Iraq’s state institutions must answer […]
Fashion isn’t mentioned in the Declaration of Independence or the Bill of Rights, but its importance was certainly recognized by the Founding Fathers (and...
When the United States declared independence, Europe projected power through armies and navies. Today, it rules through regulation. As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, Congress has a rare opportunity to remind the world that our laws are written in Washington and state capitals — not in Brussels. This Tuesday, the House will take […]
The Supreme Court ruled Monday in Chatrie v. United States that when law enforcement used a geofence warrant — directing Google to produce location data for every cellphone near a Virginia bank during a 2019 robbery — they conducted a “search” under the Fourth Amendment. By a 6-3 vote, the Court sent the case back […]
The United States produces more oil than ever before — so why does filling your tank still feel like a gamble? It’s because every time you pull up to the pump, you’re not just paying for fuel. You’re paying for decisions made thousands of miles away. That dependence is not inevitable — it’s a policy […]
The Supreme Court did something on Monday that constitutional scholars have been debating for 91 years. It overruled Humphrey’s Executor and told Congress it cannot wall off executive branch officers from presidential removal by dressing them up as “independent.” The vote was 6-3. The decision was correct. And the reaction from the Left tells you […]
The Fourth Amendment was designed to stop a specific kind of government behavior: searching the many to find the one. The founders knew about general warrants — the British instruments that authorized officers to search anyone, anywhere, for anything the crown wished to find — because those warrants had been used against them. The prohibition […]
