It’s back. The demagogic and dishonest “Jim Crow 2.0” smear has returned to our political discourse, once again courtesy of Democrats fighting tooth and nail against common-sense election integrity measures. Last time they trotted it out, this smear was deployed against Georgia’s sensible law, which has resulted in the opposite of the fear-mongerers’ cataclysmic predictions […]

Virginia just elected a new governor, and while the campaign rhetoric was heavy on moderation and reassurance, the early signals out of Richmond tell a very different story.

But child care costs, on the other hand, continue to rise. Child care has become one of the fastest-rising household expenses in the […]

Communist Cuba is running out of fuel, and with it, time. This regime, just 90 miles south of the Florida Keys, has defied American pressure for 67 years. It has survived the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. But its present crisis may be too great […]
