At the Administration for Children's Services, life-or-death decisions about kids' safety are being made by folks who are just not very good at assessing risk.
Can one spoil a TV series based on a 125-year-old novel? I won’t, but let the record show that I badly want to. Netflix’s My Brilliant Career, a six-part adaptation of the book by Australia’s Miles Franklin, seems so obviously to be doing one thing that its reversal is a gut punch. I watched the […]
Lying to the government should not be any immigrant‘s method of entry into the United States, which is why the Trump administration’s proposed plan to revoke the tourist and business visas of approximately 200,000 asylum applicants is important and the right thing to do. “We are coordinating with DHS to identify and revoke the nonimmigrant […]
Thirty-one percent of Generation Z-ers who voted for President Trump say they regret it, a recent Navigator poll reports. Millennials followed at 28 percent, with 20 percent of Gen Xers and 10 percent of Baby Boomers saying they regret backing Trump, too. It’s another sign of the dismal polling Trump and the GOP are facing as Republican lawmakers...
When Pete Buttigieg appeared at a rally in Michigan earlier this month in an attempt to unify the Democratic Party around Abdul El-Sayed's Senate campaign, the former transportation secretary wasn't just lending a hand to the candidate. Buttigieg, one of many Democrats circling the 2028 presidential contest, might also have been helping himself. Michigan, which...
In 1965, Daniel Patrick Moynihan warned that the rapid breakdown of the family, especially the rise of fatherless homes, would create social pathologies that no amount of government spending could cure. Just three years later, researcher John B. Calhoun gave the world a chilling demonstration of the mechanism. Calhoun built “Universe 25,” a mouse colony […]
Gas prices are sitting at $4.46 a gallon in Washington, D.C. Transportation is becoming increasingly expensive. The average price of a new vehicle in the United States is $49,461, and the average price of a used car is $26,342. For those looking for simple transportation, finding anything affordable can be difficult. I support the American […]
When Iran struck Israel on Sunday, President Donald Trump demanded that the Jewish nation stop firing back. But when Tehran struck a U.S. military helicopter the next day, it was “bombs away” against the Islamic Republic. You can call it strategic, but I call it hypocrisy. First of all, those who claim Trump is Israel’s […]
Twenty-two-year-old Philadelphia college student William J. Schmidt should still be alive today. The Penn State University senior was brutally murdered on Saturday night when two black men approached him to steal his cellphone. Video from a house security camera in South Philadelphia showed Schmidt approach the thieves, asking for his phone back. Seconds later, off […]
Progressive Democrats and radical influencers are reveling in a grotesque libel: accusing the Jewish state of genocide, the same enormity that contributed to its...
President Donald Trump is the best leader of the United States that Israel has ever had. He vastly outstrips Former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, who smiled while they worked a knife into the back of the Jewish state. Dwight D. Eisenhower was even worse, far worse. He bullied the Israeli military into returning […]
The race to dominate artificial intelligence is no longer just about algorithms, it is about energy. Let’s be frank — compute is power, and power is now the decisive constraint. In that equation, Norway, Finland, and the Nordics writ large are quietly positioning themselves as one of the most strategically important countries in the global […]
We are now in June, which is the start of an often-newsworthy period: hurricane season. Recently, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released its annual start-of-season forecast. This year, forecasters predict a below-normal Atlantic hurricane season, with one to three major hurricanes and up to 14 named storms in total. That does not mean you […]
On June 1, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev posted a framed order President Donald Trump gave him waiving Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act. Essentially, Trump’s waiver allows Azerbaijan to purchase American weaponry. In 1992, Congress passed the Freedom Support Act to help the newly independent states that emerged from the Soviet Union’s collapse build […]
Earlier this month, the Trump administration gave America some excellent news. It lowered tariffs from 25% to 15% on some aluminum, steel, and copper, plus products made from them. The proclamation cited the importance of these goods to national security and American manufacturing. This move deserves praise because, as we’ve seen, tariffs raise costs by […]
President Donald Trump has made a mess of what was one of his strongest policies in winning the presidential election in 2024. Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s SWAT team approach to deportation created mass disturbances and protests that resulted in deadly violence. Trump’s approval on the issue has collapsed, along with Hispanic voting support. […]
For more than a decade, American businesses have been calling on Congress to pick a lane on data privacy: a clear, national framework. Congress failed to pass a workable approach, so states stepped in, and most have taken a constructive approach. But right now, nearly half of Americans still have no comprehensive privacy protections, and […]
