That, Vance said, is President Donald Trump’s “core goal” of […]

If President Donald Trump wants to secure a meaningful peace agreement with Iran quickly, he’ll have to maintain a tight negotiating focus on Iran’s nuclear program. All other concerns are secondary.

Over 20 million Americans lack health insurance. Democrats are betting that public concern over that number will propel them back into power this fall.  But the headline figure obscures a more important question. Why do so many people go without coverage?  A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sheds light on that […]

Some of the nation’s largest cellular carriers and their allies are urging the Federal Communications Commission to dramatically raise power levels in the 3.5 GHz band, claiming that a new auction framework could unlock tens of billions for the Treasury. The FCC should reject this proposal outright.  My new technical analysis shows that the promised […]

Another day, another innocent woman brutally harmed by an illegal immigrant who came into the country during President Joe Biden’s term. From Laken Riley to Rachel Morin to Sheridan Gorman, the story of innocent women victimized by violent illegal immigrants is becoming all too familiar.
