A few years back, one could not have imagined a professor’s stipulation for in-class essay writing being met with demands for in-class grading. Now, it seems less far off. When ChatGPT entered schools in 2022, it ranked high on the list of concerns and remains there. Many schools, particularly colleges, take a “balanced” position on […]

You have likely heard about the Democratic policies that have been running residents out of Democrat-run states such as California, New York, and Illinois. But you may not have heard that Pennsylvania is going through the same process. Penn State University is closing seven of its 20 campuses in the state, citing Pennsylvania’s declining population. According to a report commissioned by […]

In an era of global volatility, President Donald Trump‘s return to the international stage has sparked a provocative question: Is Trump, the self-proclaimed disruptor, emerging as an unlikely peacemaker? His recent diplomatic maneuvers suggest a bold, unconventional approach to conflict resolution that challenges the status quo and defies critics who view his foreign policy as […]

Former FBI Director James Comey has stirred up a partisan hornet’s nest with his post to Instagram, now deleted, of a photo showing seashells arranged to say “8647.” The “86” was a reference to getting rid of President Donald Trump. True, Comey almost certainly does not seek Trump’s killing. Contrary to some conservative social media […]

President Ronald Reagan’s quip, “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me,” resonates with many longtime Democrats who no longer recognize their party. For me, a lifelong Democrat now running for Manhattan district attorney as a Republican, this shift reflects the party’s leftward lurch, its embrace of extremism, and its alienation of […]

I’ve walked our southwest border, seen the chaos that’s unfolded over the last four years, and heard directly from Customs and Border Protection personnel who were stretched thin, worn down, and under-resourced. They told me that walls work, technology works, and when we combine both, America is safer. President Donald Trump understands this. That’s why […]

COMEY, TRUMP, AND “8647.” There has been a certain escalatory logic in the resistance to Donald Trump‘s rise to the presidency. In the very beginning, when few took him seriously, they laughed at him. Then they tried to defeat him in the 2016 election. Then, some frantically searched for a way to prevent him from taking […]

To be an American is to win life’s lottery. We live in the greatest nation in the world, with tremendous freedoms and unparalleled opportunities. We have the ability to chase the American dream from childhood through retirement. The United States boasts the world’s strongest economy, and though we make up less than 5% of the […]

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) made a lot of sense earlier this week when she pointed out that a Democrat was introducing legislation to codify one of President Donald Trump’s executive orders. It was an observation for which she should be applauded and one that Republicans in the House should be embarrassed by. On Wednesday, Rep. Ro […]

The two main parties say the other has betrayed its principles. Their switch, to appeal to those not once seen as their traditional base, is something to behold. Democrats point to President Donald Trump’s tariffs and ask what happened to the Republican understanding of the merits of free trade? Republicans also now favor other economic […]

On May 5, the House of Representatives passed the Mobilizing and Enhancing Georgia’s Options for Building Accountability, Resilience, and Independence Act on a large bipartisan basis, 349-42.  Thirty-four Republicans, including House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), joined eight Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), in opposition. Now it will head to the Senate, […]
