A second major Democratic politician has been turned away from a police officer’s funeral, showing that these politicians can’t make police the enemies of their political movement while also using them for photo-ops or PR opportunities when they are killed in the line of duty. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson tried to attend the funeral of […]
Bond markets, which have spent the last half-year coming back down to reality as they face the fact that the Federal Reserve’s war on inflation is backsliding, jumped on the milquetoast jobs report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday. Although the April jobs report was a mostly fine mixed bag — the unemployment […]
In a clear response to a Russian intelligence service arson attack on a London factory, the United Kingdom has said that Ukraine can use British weapons to strike targets inside Russia. This bears particular note in relation to the U.K.’s Storm Shadow cruise missile, a number of which Ukraine possesses. Ukraine has previously used these […]
BEDFORD, Pennsylvania — For a brief moment, it was as if stepping back in time when a series of 1920s Bentley Roadsters chugged up along the ridge of the winding Lincoln Highway in the mountains of Somerset County. Both the drivers and passengers were wearing goggles, their scarves billowing in the wind. The smiles on […]
Florida banned lab-grown meat this week in a decision that was derided by many commentators as a silly encroachment on the free market, but the Sunshine State’s policy is actually protecting an industry that employs hundreds of thousands of people from destruction. While not yet a widely available commercial product, lab-grown meat, which is grown […]
The five students who protested a boy competing in girls’ sports at a recent track and field competition should receive justice and be allowed to compete. Five students at Lincoln Middle School in Harrison County, West Virginia, refused to throw the shot put against a male student named “Becky” Pepper-Jackson during an April competition. Pepper-Jackson […]
In 2009, Flannery O’Connor’s Complete Stories was named the best book ever to receive a National Book Award. It had been almost 50 years since O’Connor died at 39 years old of lupus, yet her work was still being read and publicly celebrated, chosen above such esteemed writers as Alice McDermott, Susan Sontag, Philip Roth, […]
The time has come to say that “enough is enough” when it comes to this country’s indoctrinated and toxic left-wing radicals. Once again, the young socialists and communists who want nothing more than to see our country ruined have been organizing violent protests and takeovers on college campuses. It’s time to call this for what […]
Many people have seen the antisemitic radicals who are wreaking havoc at our universities. But fewer are aware that far-left billionaires like George Soros are working with Big Labor to fund groups that exist to promote pro-Hamas propaganda. Many in the media pretend, for example, that the Teamsters Union’s recent $45,000 donation to the Republican National Convention is […]
If the FBI has time to spare after harassing mothers at school board meetings, it may want to look into the groups participating in, and funding, pro-Hamas disturbances at universities across the country. Clearing out Columbia University on Tuesday night doesn’t mean the job is done. Yes, some of the protests have been peaceful, engaging […]
America’s economic prosperity is built on free-market capitalism that rewards work, saving, investment, and, most important of all, entrepreneurial risk-taking. Unfortunately, President Joe Biden’s plan to significantly raise taxes on capital gains, which are so often the reward for taking such risks, would undermine these pillars of economic growth and upward mobility. Biden’s budget for […]
Voters who understand economics must wonder about President Joe Biden’s mental capacity when he proposes tax policies that would undermine the nation’s future prosperity. Biden appears to want an economically weak nation where young people would experience a steadily declining standard of living. I say this because in his 2025 budget request, Biden proposes to raise […]
As we observe Small Business Week, it is important to reflect on the vital contributions that small businesses make to our national economy and the fabric of our local communities. These establishments are more than just the backbone of the economy; they embody the spirit of entrepreneurship and resilience that defines our nation. Small businesses […]
College administrators across the country would be wise to follow the example set by Florida’s universities last week in dealing with the anti-Israel student protests on their own campuses. The Tallahassee Democrat reported that Florida State University campus police, citing FSU regulation 2.007, which “prohibits camping on university lands,” made students “take down a handful […]
