The start of a new year is when people take stock of what’s working and what isn’t. Families reassess budgets. Businesses review strategy. Lawmakers should do the same, especially when it comes to energy policy. After decades of lofty climate promises, 2026 arrives with a stubborn reality: Global demand for energy will continue to rise.

In just 11 months, our nation has gone from stagnation and atrophy to experiencing over 4% growth in gross domestic product, with trillions of dollars lining up to expand advanced manufacturing in America, and an astounding drop in energy prices, especially in red states, that will save American households over $11 billion in 2026.

Iran’s clerical tyrants are as different from Mark Twain as it’s possible to imagine. But since they toppled the shah in 1979, they might often have echoed him, saying, “reports of our death are greatly exaggerated.” As Iranian popular protests multiply and grow into their third week, it is devoutly — if that’s the right […]
Following the Trump administration’s clampdown on Afghan immigrant visa processing, new developments may have left U.S. allies with no further hope of accessing the Special Immigrant Visa program.
