For three years, the finest school system in America has faltered under Gov. Maura Healey (D-MA). Now, as she gears up for reelection, Healey will be reciting a familiar litany of misleading statistics and feel-good buzzwords about her education “successes.” At the heart of her claims to education-policy glory is an oft-repeated stat: “Massachusetts schools, […]

If the Islamabad memorandum is as strong as Vice President JD Vance claims, there should be no reason to portray it inaccurately. But in fact, there is much space between Vance’s rendition of the deal and its actual wording.  In hindsight, it should be clear why Vance had earlier gone on a media tour praising […]

Celebrating July Fourth, we should reflect on Patrick Henry’s call, “Give me liberty or give me death,” and simultaneously on our growing Orwellian legacy in Ukraine. The irreducible essence must forever be our own security. But Ukraine is not a charity case. Russia long ago declared the destruction of Ukraine as pivotal to its long-articulated […]

We all know that Washington, D.C., has spent the past several years debating defense budgets, supply chain resilience, and industrial policy.  Yet one of the most important lessons emerging from America’s renewed focus on national security is that military superiority is not built solely by billion-dollar weapons platforms, but upon thousands of highly specialized manufacturers […]

Let me say the quiet part out loud and put it on the record, knowing it costs something inside my own party. I want documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. So do most Americans. Gallup puts support for that idea at 83%. I don’t just believe election security matters. I believe that near-unanimity […]

As President Donald Trump works to resolve the Iran peace agreement and press for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Esmail Qaani, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force, has threatened to widen the conflict to the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The importance of strategic maritime chokepoints becomes ever […]

EXCLUSIVE — The Biden administration’s disastrous, radical, and illegal immigration ideology continues to hurt innocent children years after it left the White House. An investigation conducted by the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement led to an illegal immigrant from Venezuela being arrested, convicted, and sentenced on charges related to child sex […]

America at 250 presents one of the strangest paradoxes in modern history. No democracy has accumulated greater economic, military, technological, and cultural power. Few are less content. The anniversary — in marked contrast even to the Bicentennial, despite troubles in those times as well — is being celebrated amid a hurricane of angst and anger. […]

Washington has a bad habit of writing rules and walking away. Decades pass, the world changes, and the rules just sit there. I saw this firsthand at the Office of Management and Budget, where one of the most persistent challenges was not finding new things to regulate — it was getting agencies to honestly reckon […]

I write as an adamant Zionist. The Japanese have a country of their own. The French have a country of their own. The Chinese have a country of their own. The English have a country of their own. The Mexicans have a country of their own. The Italians have a country of their own. The […]

The United States and Israel did not lose to Iran on the battlefield. American and Israeli strikes damaged key facilities and removed senior operatives. Yet the April 2026 ceasefire and the subsequent memorandum of understanding left Tehran’s regime, its nuclear program, and its missile arsenal intact while unlocking nearly $344 billion in reconstruction funds, access […]
