Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, fresh from defeating four-term incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in last week's GOP primary runoff election, said he believes Senate leaders are ready to back his campaign and several have pledged support.
Former Vice President Mike Pence called on the Trump administration to "get rid of" a newly created fund to compensate individuals victimized by government weaponization during the Biden administration.
Even as other modes of transportation gain prominence, railroads maintain their role as an essential means of transporting energy products. Railroads transport 75% of coal and 60% to 70% of ethanol shipments. With cost and fuel efficiency, railroads leverage massive scale to mitigate the price volatility of shipping by truck or plane, accounting for 40% […]
There’s a somewhat puzzling and ongoing contretemps roiling leftist politics these days: Why is the Democratic National Committee still refusing to release its post-2024 election “autopsy” report? Let’s acknowledge, right out of the gate, that the usefulness of such assessments is, at best, disputable. After the Republicans issued an in-depth analysis following their 2012 election […]
As with his city-owned supermarkets plan, Zohran Mamdani is likely under the illusion that government can do a better job managing housing than private...
Long-range Ukrainian drone strikes against Moscow and the Moscow region have exposed something the Kremlin desperately tried to hide for years: Russia can no longer fully defend its own capital. This was not simply another symbolic drone raid. It was a coordinated strike against fuel infrastructure, missile production facilities, military electronics, and civilian logistics. Ukrainian […]
Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s new crackdown on fraud in the Optional Practical Training program is a welcome development. But even if DHS succeeds in rooting out fraud and abuse, it still will not solve the program’s far more fundamental problems. OPT allows F-1 visa holders to remain and work in the United States after graduation. […]
Aspirational Americans are being priced out of homes. A recent poll found that 65% of Americans believe they will not be able to purchase a home “in the foreseeable future.” Singles who want to put down roots and families who want to grow are growing discouraged about their prospects. So when the Senate passed a […]
Americans expect their tax dollars to be used wisely, whether it’s investing in basic infrastructure, schools, or public services. However, a single law in New York is inflating the cost of federally funded projects and wasting billions of dollars contributed by taxpayers from every state. This is not just a regional problem. It’s a national […]
Some 60,000 British people marched through London last weekend. In a crowd of that number, there will always be varied motives. But the overriding ones last Saturday were fear that the British are losing their country, frustration with governments that stoke it with mass multicultural immigration, and hope that it is not too late to […]
The United States cannot stop the flood of illegal Chinese vape products while simultaneously choking off the legal American alternatives that could replace them. That is why Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was right to acknowledge before Congress that if the U.S. wants to get illegal Chinese vape products off the […]
Cuba’s electrical grid is collapsing. Yet instead of stabilizing the island, the communist regime is expanding military cooperation with Iran and Russia just 90 miles from the United States. That should alarm Washington far more than Havana’s blackouts. In mid-May, Cuba’s energy crisis reached a breaking point. Energy and Mines Minister Vicente de la O […]
“You’re the ‘presi-dunce,’ but you’re turning into a real ‘prick-tator.’ [Donald Trump], you attract more skinheads than free Rogaine. You have more people marching against you than cancer. You talk like a sign-language gorilla that got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s cock […]
Congressional Republicans are moving ahead with a “reconciliation” bill, a legislative package that will circumvent Democrats’ obstruction and fund President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda. Naturally, lawmakers are trying to jam their own pet priorities and proposals into the bill. And one of those proposals, from Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) — one of the Senate’s […]
