Juneteenth traces to Union Gen. Gordon Granger’s June 19, 1865, order freeing Texas' remaining slaves. But let's not treat black history and black life as somehow unapproachably apart from...
President Trump slammed Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell ahead of an expected decision Wednesday to leave interest rates where they are instead of agreeing to the president's demand for a cut.
Senate Republicans are poised to end an abbreviated workweek in Washington Wednesday without having locked down enough support to pass President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill ahead of a potential floor vote next week.
Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee have included Second Amendment provisions in the chamber's version of President Trump's "big beautiful bill" that call for tax cuts for some gun owners.
President Donald Trump‘s recent split with Tesla CEO Elon Musk is the edge, or maybe just the hope, for which more traditional conservatives in the party have been waiting. This is especially true in the buildup to the administration’s release of policy recommendations for in vitro fertilization. Trump’s “baby boom” plans saw particular amplification under […]
Tucker Carlson has long railed against credit card interest rates, repeatedly invoking historical prohibitions on usury as reason to ban current lending practices. When he proposed to his latest podcast guest that the proper punishment for contemporary creditors is “prison,” he probably didn’t expect pushback from a Catholic bishop. Though Carlson was right that the […]
It is long known that liberals have poor mental health. For some of them, political violence is a given. The trend is obvious in most left-wing issues, from pro-Palestinian attacks to Black Lives Matter riots to Tesla burnings. Nowhere, though, is it more salient than within the transgender movement. One transgender-identifying male threatened to assassinate […]
China’s Trojan horse could be on your roof. Last month, that was the warning from engineers in American solar farms, who found “kill switches,” a mechanism designed to shut down or disable a device, in Chinese-made solar parts when doing a security check. These parts are already embedded in homes, businesses, and utilities across the country. They could be […]
America is facing a Medicaid crisis — and not because the program is too small or too stingy. The real problem isn’t funding. It’s priorities. It’s accountability. And it’s whether Medicaid as we know it can survive the next decade. The House-passed reconciliation bill, the one “big, beautiful bill,” takes long-overdue steps to protect Medicaid for […]
Does adherence to the separation of powers risk nuclear war? The federal government seems to think so. Fortunately, the U.S. Court of International Trade last week struck down President Donald Trump’s tariffs as unlawful in companion cases brought by small businesses and 12 states. But the litigation will continue, likely up to the U.S. Supreme […]
Days after his exit from his role in the Trump administration as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk is once again throwing his weight around, this time to oppose the president’s embattled “big, beautiful bill.” On X, Musk excoriated the spending bill, calling it “the debt slavery bill” that “contains the largest increase in […]
The legacy media seem beyond redemption. They’re like Macbeth, so steeped in blood that going back would be as tedious as continuing onward. So outlets that supposedly write the first draft of history remain determined to distort and deceive rather than enlighten their readers. You’d think their humiliating exposure as cover-up artists for former President […]
The Supreme Court is apparently too busy to uphold rights that are explicitly protected in the Bill of Rights. This week, the court denied certiorari in two cases challenging “assault weapon” bans in Maryland and Rhode Island. The ban in Maryland, where prohibitive regulations make it unconstitutionally difficult for law-abiding citizens to obtain any guns, […]
Today, we are witnessing what happens when an adversary nation has a near monopoly position into essential raw materials. China produces over 90% of the world’s rare earth magnets. It mines and refines about 70% of the world’s rare earth minerals. It is using its economic stranglehold over these essential inputs into America’s domestic production of defense systems, vehicles, […]
Nobody misses the commute. Nobody misses picking up the suit at the dry cleaner. Everyone appreciates being able to make the doctor’s appointment at 11 a.m. on a Tuesday. But maybe, just maybe, working from home doesn’t really make workers happier. Fully remote workers are less likely than the average worker to report themselves to […]
The good news for Americans concerned about the country’s falling fertility rate is that only 44% of adults oppose policies that would “give Americans incentives to have children.” The bad news is that just 33% support such policies, with a sizable 23% still unsure. And to be fair, I think those 23% have a point. […]
Democrats are spending tens of millions of dollars to answer a simple question: Why don’t men like them? After black, Hispanic, and white men all swung toward President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, those on the Left have at least pretended to start soul-searching. Have they been successful? Hardly. Leaders of the Democratic National […]
