Public media stations across the country are using their airwaves to urge listeners and viewers to write to their senators to hold off the impending end to federal funds for the systems. It’s a practical strategy, but a limited and nearsighted one. It’s correct that if even a handful of Republican senators resist the proposed […]

If self-avowed socialist Zohran Mamdani becomes the next mayor of New York City, it’ll be a gift to Republicans in more ways than one. Not only will they get a perfect poster child to hold up as the extreme figurehead of the Democratic Party, but they will also likely see a huge influx of wealthy […]

The credibility of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the United Kingdom‘s fiscal situation were further undermined this week when Starmer abandoned reforms to the country’s bloated welfare system. The minimal reforms, spearheaded by Chancellor Rachel Reeves (the U.K.’s more powerful equivalent of the treasury secretary), were designed to reduce the deficit by $7 billion a […]

The insane Lia Thomas saga has finally been put to bed. The University of Pennsylvania reached an agreement with the Department of Education on Tuesday. UPenn will apologize to swimmers affected by being forced to compete against or with Thomas, a man who started his college career on UPenn’s men’s swimming team before “transitioning” to the women’s team. UPenn […]

“Nothing but harmony, honesty, industry, and frugality are necessary to make us a great and happy people.” — George Washington. “[Independence Day] will be celebrated with pomp and parade, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other.” — John Adams. That’s a sampling of the many patriotic and positive sentiments from two […]

Not many people today remember the exhilaration so many Americans felt after Israel’s victory in the six-day War in June 1967. The liberal folks around me at work and law school then had been frustrated and puzzled at the lack of progress being made in Vietnam by the 448,000 U.S. troops stationed there, and the […]

Real patriotism in America isn’t just dying. It’s being actively euthanized, often by the same elite class that benefits most from its existence. In living memory, patriotism, the love and devotion for one’s country, appeared alive and well, as people waved flags, stood for the national anthem, and recited the Pledge of Allegiance in school […]

Nearly 75% of all freight in the United States is moved by trucks. They deliver everything from construction materials to hospital supplies to the packages on your porch. But the system is overworked and under-resourced, which slows down deliveries and drives up prices. Autonomous trucking — yes, self-driving big rigs — is the solution to […]

When will the Air Force’s B-2 bombers pay another visit to Iran? That decision is actually up to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Iranian supreme leader, and his now-smaller inner ring of advisers, some of whom probably remain agents of Israel’s Mossad foreign intelligence service. It is a useful skill to be able to put yourself […]

By law, public agencies must pay when they damage private property. But Melisa and Michael Robinson received nothing after the local sewer board damaged their mobile home park in Okay, Oklahoma. Leaving messes for others to clean up saves money. So, public agencies use various tricks to dodge the Fifth Amendment, which requires “just compensation” […]

U.S. officials fear regime change. They dread instability and the unknown. In reality, naysayers are seldom right. Post-World War II Germany and Japan show that regime change can work. The problem in Afghanistan and Iraq was less regime change than misguided nation-building and wishful blindness to Iranian and Pakistani interference. Regardless, today, Iraq is not […]
