During the coronavirus pandemic, Democrats developed a flippant disregard for the value of schooling for children. That disrespect is going to continue to control how Democrats govern for years to come. That has been made evident in New York City, where Mayor Eric Adams kicked students out of James Madison High School and forced them […]
Is democracy at risk this election year? Yup, is the answer given by President Joe Biden in his speech last Saturday, the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the United States Capitol as both houses of Congress were assembled to receive the electoral votes for the November 2020 election. He argues that […]
The firing of Ron Rivera as the head coach of the Washington Commanders may have been expected, but team owner Josh Harris has a long way to go to restore a tradition of winning football to the nation’s capital. I was 8 years old when I moved to the D.C. area and adopted the Washington […]
Conspiracy theories are often simultaneously funny and frustrating. This is especially true regarding conspiracy theories in politics. And, for whatever reason, the country seems to be continuously embracing them. Stories such as that Sen.

President Joe Biden does not want to save democracy — he wants to save himself. That’s why he started his 2024 reelection run where most campaigns end: with rhetorical high hyperbole uttered when none but the party faithful are listening. In so starting, Biden and the Democrats have shown where they will go to win: […]
With the opening of the Iowa caucuses next week, the first presidential election of my life as a father begins in earnest — our first son was born in June. It’s remarkable how parenthood concentrates the mind in matters both private and public. What seemed abstract before seems terrifyingly distinct with a baby in one’s […]
Congress’s long list of unfinished business for the new year includes “tax extender” legislation, which is normally considered before lawmakers adjourn for the holidays in December. The fact that this legislation has lingered into January isn’t the only oddity. In an era of already rapidly rising spending, the more troubling anomaly is much of that […]
The Securities and Exchange Commission is expected to approve a few spot price bitcoin exchange traded funds, ETFs, this week. Earlier in the week, 10 companies, including BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, submitted their final amendments to register bitcoin ETFs.

After intense pressure from Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), the Biden administration rescinded its plan to remove a statue of William Penn from National Park Service land Monday.
