Sen. John Fetterman has emerged as a cheerleader for President Trump's push for a new White House ballroom, saying Democrats who oppose the project are showing signs of Trump derangement syndrome and should stop reflexively fighting the president on everything.
Last week, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified before the Senate Finance Committee, where lawmakers pressed him on his decision to remove COVID-19 vaccines from the children’s immunization schedule among many other things. The hearing underscored how deeply politicized public health guidance has become — and how urgently Washington needs to restore trust […]
Future generations will regard with shock and wonder decisions by Democratic states about questions raised by the interaction of transgender ideology, religious freedom, and the First Amendment. Massachusetts authorities are threatening to remove children from even stable foster parents who refuse to sign agreements to “promote,” “support,” and “affirm” a child’s gender identity or expression. […]
I was a toddler on 9/11, too young to understand what really happened that day — a day that, though I did not know it at the time, unified a hurting nation. My parents told me stories of strangers helping strangers, American flags flying from every porch, and political differences set aside, just for a […]
“I’ve grown deeply concerned,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), a physician, told Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a blistering Senate hearing earlier this month. The Wyoming senator warned that “safe, proven vaccines like measles, like hepatitis B, and others, could be in jeopardy.” Less than 200 days after Kennedy promised the Senate he wouldn’t touch vaccine access, he’s […]
I’m haunted, as many are, by the prospect that we may have lost our country for good this week. In his column on Friday, Washington Examiner Editor-in-Chief Hugo Gurdon contrasted the assassination of Charlie Kirk with the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Butler last year.

Teresa Ribera, a Spanish socialist who serves as executive vice president of the European Commission, threatened to throw out Europe’s trade deal with the United States in response to the Trump administration’s insistence that the European Union loosen its tech regulations. She even threatened to renege on Europe’s commitment to purchase $750 billion worth of American energy. […]
Lost in today’s noisy trade debates is a simple but powerful truth: There are only four ways to get what you want. You can receive a gift, steal it, make it, or trade for it. That’s it. Manna from heaven worked for the ancient Israelites, but in our vale of tears, scarcity implies we must […]
Charlie Kirk was shockingly assassinated on the Utah Valley University campus earlier this week. A giant among conservatives, he was also a man of great faith, husband, son, and father. I run my eyes over the word “assassinated,” but my mind still cannot catch up with what my eyes have processed. My heart is heavy. Like […]
The Nation’s Report Card, released last week, shows the K-12 school system as bad and getting worse. A record 32% of high school seniors cannot read proficiently, and almost half cannot do basic math. Fourth and eighth-grade math and reading scores also fell, continuing a collapse that began before the COVID-19 school closures. The new […]
