As a matter of statistical fact, more than any other demographic, evangelical Christian voters are deciding the 2024 Republican presidential primary. According to ABC News exit polls, self-identified born-again Christians comprised 61% of the electorate in Saturday’s GOP presidential primary in South Carolina. They gave 72% of their vote to former President Donald Trump and […]
U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns observed last week that “China’s silence on the existential issue of Ukraine’s sovereignty and independence is deafening.

But by supporting […]
Last weekend, a group of conservatives convened the annual Principles First Summit, this one with the theme of “Conserving America’s Liberal Tradition.” I spoke on the opening panel, alongside thinker-journalists William Kristol and Matthew Continetti and historian Francis Fukuyama.

Without so much as a whisper of pushback from Congress, the White House is bulldozing forward with a regulatory proposal that could cost the average household up to $10,000 extra in water costs. But it’s not only President Joe Biden‘s campaign that is scared of this latest forefront of the president’s green agenda — Biden’s […]
The 2020s are like a South Park episode. Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, earlier this month took time away from encouraging pre-adolescent children to explore their gender identities through the wonders of endocrine-disrupting pharmaceuticals to lecture the public about how climate change might be racist. In a video posted on X, […]

The speech in its entirety and English transcript can be found here.

If you ever need any more proof that the Democratic Party’s wailing about gerrymandering is just performative, you can take a look up to New York’s Democratic Party. The grand “solution” Democrats have offered to gerrymandering are so-called “independent” and “bipartisan” commissions. Sometimes, those commissions are partisan shams, as California’s redistricting showed in 2021. But […]
President Joe Biden’s foreign policy is so pathetic that even Venezuela knows it can tell him what he can and cannot do now. Venezuela has decided that it will no longer allow the United States to ship its own citizens back. This follows the disruption of an agreement between the U.S. and Venezuela stating that […]
In a revelation that should be surprising to no one, elite colleges are starting to acknowledge that standardized exams are predictive and have value. Dartmouth, a member of the storied Ivy League, recently announced that it will reinstate mandatory submission of the SAT and ACT exams for future classes. The elite university denies the standard […]
Considering that immigration now regularly polls as the most important problem facing the country today and that voters overwhelmingly blame President Joe Biden for the border crisis, it is not surprising that Biden is desperately trying to shift the blame for his failed policies onto Republicans.
