A new Trump admin housing directive aims to tackle the U.S.'s housing affordability crunch by ending Obama-era rule allowing indefinite liability for property owners over past building design errors.
The Supreme Court’s ruling in the tariff case this year was a painful blow for advocates of using protectionism to reshape global trade. While the tariffs in question, which had been levied under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, accounted for less than half of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, the ruling nevertheless halted the administration’s […]
America doesn't have to suffer whenever Democrats — or Republicans — decide to hold airline passengers hostage with a government shutdown that inevitably leads...
Polls continue to show two Republicans at or near the top of a crowded field in California’s primary for governor, raising alarm bells of a “nightmare scenario” where Democrats don’t have a general election candidate in one of the bluest states in the country. The unique dynamics of this year’s governor’s race created the perfect […]
Few places symbolize Americans’ ability to persevere through hardship like Valley Forge. President Donald Trump needs to summon the Spirit of ’76 and rally voters to his side. He should do so from a historic place where our Revolution looked almost lost. His umbrella theme for the election messaging should be making the U.S.’s next 250 years […]
China is going all-in on artificial intelligence. Recently, Beijing revealed that it’s converting thousands of old data centers and other idle spaces into one-person companies tasked with developing and innovating AI. China’s investment speaks volumes. Artificial intelligence is the driver behind the latest technological revolution, rewriting the rules of global economic competition.

Raging against the supposed “deep state” in Washington has long been one of President Donald Trump’s favorite pastimes. Borrowed from Turkey, that loaded term has become a catch-phrase among the MAGA faithful for the idea that the intelligence community is subverting Trump. Some of Trump’s loathing for the deep state is certainly well-earned. Senior IC holdovers […]
Americans usually think of national security threats as distant conflicts overseas. But one of the most dangerous threats facing the United States today is much closer to home. In Venezuela, a narco-terrorist network was embedded inside the government. For years, Nicolas Maduro’s regime has helped facilitate the trafficking of narcotics, criminals, and illicit money across […]
Events in the Middle East demonstrate that the position of the United States as the world’s leading producer of oil and natural gas, including liquefied natural gas, provides the nation with a large economic and national security advantage in this period of global turmoil. A focus of President Donald Trump’s administration should be to implement policies that provide incentives for oil […]
In the fight over Department of Homeland Security funding, Democrats have, for the first time under the second Trump administration, put both the White House and congressional Republicans on defense in the immigration battle.
