Ignore the naysayers. Israel‘s war with Iran was the most impressive military victory in the country’s history, and perhaps the most lopsided major conflict in the 21st century. For 12 days, Israel ruled the Iranian air unmolested, targeting major military installations and nuclear facilities. After deploying a slew of creative feints and ruses, the IDF […]
Fires devastated Hawaii in August 2023 thanks to the incompetence of the Democratic politicians who run the state. That same incompetence has the rebuilding effort moving at a glacial pace 22 months later. According to the dashboard run by Maui County, 26 homes have been rebuilt in the 22 months since the fires. A total of 429 building permits have been issued but […]
“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) wrote on X. Interesting choice of words by the possible […]
Fears of another world war have been greatly exaggerated. Far from creating another global cataclysm, recent U.S. actions may have prevented a major war while simultaneously providing a new blueprint for American military power in the Middle East and beyond. The United States carried out targeted strikes against Iran’s nuclear weapons program, prompting some commentators to warn […]

TRIADELPHIA, West Virginia — Late last Saturday night, an unexpected torrent of rain devastated this community here and in Wheeling in West Virginia‘s Ohio County. It overwhelmed creeks, swept away homes and cars, submerged dozens of them, took the lives of eight people, including a three-year-old, and left a community grieving. Gov. Patrick Morrisey (R-WV) […]
As the Shiite holy month of Muharram begins on June 26, 2025, President Donald Trump is desperate to pause fighting lest religious passions spiral out of control in the Middle East. As the Middle East quiets, at least temporarily, Americans should take stock. Wherever we stand on the Israel–Iran conflict or, for that matter, the […]
The United States has launched itself into conflict with Iran, and the media are fact-checking only the most important news. Just kidding. After President Donald Trump approved the use of the U.S. military to drop bunker-buster bombs on multiple Iranian nuclear facilities, a reporter for the New York Times who covers the Defense Department got […]
President Donald Trump’s decision to strike Iranian nuclear sites was clearly a tactical success. Turning that into a strategic victory means keeping up the pressure to force Iran to sign a verifiable deal that forever removes its ability to build an atomic bomb. Victory is the only rational objective of all rationally launched wars. A […]
This essay is adapted from a chapter in the edited volume Mind the Children: How to Think About the Youth Mental Health Collapse. Americans are searching for an answer to the youth mental health crisis. While many experts rightfully scrutinize smartphones and social media as culprits, another profound shift deserves our attention: the dramatic retreat […]
For decades, America’s immigration system has been broken, battered by political gamesmanship, inaction, and extremes on both sides of the aisle. As a nation, we have failed to secure our borders, protect our citizens, or provide a fair and moral pathway forward for those who are here and contributing, yet undocumented. That failure ends now.

The “one big, beautiful bill” has cleared the House and now sits with the Senate. We are hopeful that senators will stick to the House’s framework and deliver a real repeal of green energy giveaways, such as wind and solar subsidies. With wind and solar lobbyists now descending on the Senate, the gains that were […]
For over 40 years, Congress has known that the Social Security Trust Fund would eventually run out of money, causing an immediate payment cut. Every year, the Social Security trustees issue a report estimating when that bankruptcy date will come and call on Congress to reform the program to make it sustainable. And every year, […]
