Taking money from Bezos won’t help Democrats fix their schools

The death of kings: As a Cuban from Miami, I welcome Raul Castro’s indictment

Former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured and removed from Caracas, Venezuela, in an American operation called “Absolute Resolve” on Jan. 3.

For too many Washington bureaucrats, American border security is reduced to a narrow, checklist exercise — counting crossings and manning checkpoints while ignoring the torrent of illicit goods and other poisons flooding our communities.  But during my time at the Department of Homeland Security, I saw a fundamental shift: Border Patrol was no longer operating […]

The Weekend at Bernie’s joke, propping up a dead man while everyone plays along, has moved from Democratic Party headquarters to Capitol Hill.
