Congress should follow tax reform with regulatory relief

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s tax reforms marked an important step toward restoring a government that trusts the people to drive economic prosperity.

Netroots in New Orleans

At its peak, the Netroots Nation conference was a must-attend event on the Democratic Party presidential campaign trail. In 2007, it hosted a forum featuring Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, Barack Obama, and Bill Richardson. In later years, Sens.

Jamie Dimon profits from trashing Trump’s economy

President Donald Trump‘s sweeping victory in November was thanks in large part to building a campaign founded on fighting for the forgotten men and women of our country.

Fellas, is it ‘pornified’ to want to have sex with your wife?

In an odd social media clip that begins with two married women sexually objectifying a priest, Lila Rose, a Christian conservative and ostensible proponent of marriage, provided better anti-marriage propaganda than radical left-wing feminists or the marriage-hating manosphere could ever dream of concocting. “That’s just a cultural narrative that basically says, ‘Men are like animals; […]

For quid pro quo Trump, it’s pay-to-play in China

When Congress passed the Export Control Reform Act in 2018, the intention was to prevent advanced technologies with military uses from falling into the hands of enemies.

Mark Zuckerberg’s secret school

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is so often the villain in the story of American politics. Sometimes, he is censoring social media at the behest of a political party. Other times, he is planning on solving male loneliness by getting people hooked on fake virtual friends. Sometimes, he is even daring to provide schooling to children. That is the latest controversy Zuckerberg […]

What the last world war tells us about the next one

The Second World War ended eight decades ago this summer. But its specter looms large today. The war ended empires, upended the global order, and changed the course of the 20th century. Eighty years later, it still has much to teach us. World War II is passing into memory. This is the last major anniversary […]

The woke can only cancel the woke

A year ago, when the cultural “vibe shift” was still just a subterranean tremor, a liberal writer noted that woke inanity was a much bigger problem for liberals than conservatives. For a conservative who lived in a conservative place and didn’t work for a woke corporation, the argument was that the odds were small that […]

Why blue-state cities are failing

There is a chart that the Democratic Party-aligned Brookings Institution loves to put out after every presidential election. It shows the “candidates’ share” of “GDP by county” for the most recent election. Right on schedule, just days after then-candidate Donald Trump beat Democratic rival Kamala Harris in 2024, Brookings published the latest version of its […]

The Trump security recruitment surge

Within just two weeks of launching a patriotism-themed join.ICE.gov website, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been flooded with over 100,000 applications to help the Trump administration enforce our nation’s immigration laws.

Misery loves comedy: Review of ‘Oh, Hi’

Brace yourselves, I’m going to “kink shame.” Though it might feel good in the moment, tying your commitment-phobic boyfriend to the bed is not appropriate sexual behavior.  Such is the lesson of Oh, Hi!, an off-kilter romantic comedy that may well be the most outrageously entertaining movie of the summer. A story of desire, frustration, […]
