The Senate passed landmark legislation Monday night intended to regulate the Wild West of college sports compensation and transfers, teeing up a vote in the House after the November midterm elections.
On Aug. 28, the Virginia state legislature removed the last three Confederate monuments from Capitol Square, a park near the state Capitol in Richmond. Conservatives haven’t paid much attention to this story, aside from a handful of op-eds in right-leaning media, mostly opposing the decision. In this particular case, Virginia’s decision was the right one. Conservatives must rethink […]
At Jackson Hole, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh said, “Trends matter most.” His task forces are examining how to improve monetary policy, but the next decision will test how he applies that principle today. The Fed must ground its judgment in a careful reading of the economy and explain why the evidence supports it. For […]
There’s never a good time or place to be diagnosed with cancer. But some times and places are worse than others. Right now, cancer patients in Europe face record-setting wait times when seeking cutting-edge treatment. Once European regulators approve a new oncology drug, it takes 655 days, on average, for Europe’s government-run insurance systems to […]
To any observer paying attention, America in 2026 is confronted by a brutal series of ironies, met with a deafening silence when what is required is a robust response. First, the year of the 250th celebration of America’s founding is also the year of the starkest revelation of the radicals’ goal of dismantling America and […]
The old way of getting a business loan is dead. In the past, a business owner could walk into a community bank. You could hand over a business plan and talk to a manager who knew your town. I served as a county commission president and a regional council president. I know firsthand that local […]
Every policymaker arrives in Washington wanting to leave the country better than they found it. Between us we served nearly 40 years in the House and Senate, and we have learned to recognize the moments — and there are only a handful — when that ambition is available. This week is one of them. On […]
President Donald Trump put the artificial intelligence race in blunt terms Sunday: “whoever wins AI wins.” His comment came as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged AI companies to slow the development of increasingly capable frontier models and strengthen independent evaluation, industry coordination, and international safeguards. Amodei’s warning deserves serious attention. But Trump is right about […]
For decades, Washington bought into a comforting illusion: If we just welcomed developing nations into our economic system, they’d eventually adopt our values. The BRICS Summit in New Delhi just shattered that myth for good. Nations aren’t defined by empty speeches at the United Nations anymore. They’re defined by a cold, transactional reality: the company […]
Picture a shareholder meeting where the company hands out voting proxies to anyone who wandered in off the street, share certificate or not. That is roughly how America has apportioned its House of Representatives for two centuries, and on Sept. 9, the Trump administration finally proposed fixing it. The Census Bureau’s new rule, headed for […]
When we think of North Korea’s nuclear weapons, most people probably picture ballistic missiles launched from land. But North Korea’s nuclear capabilities may no longer be confined to land. On Sept. 6, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un attended the commissioning ceremony of the country’s new 5,000-ton destroyer, the Kang Kon, in Wonsan. North Korea […]
BRICS was formed to counterbalance the G7. While the G7 holds its annual summit in May, BRICS holds its own each September. This past weekend, leaders of an 11-nation bloc gathered in New Delhi for the 18th BRICS Summit, and the joint declaration, as expected, keeps advocating a “multipolar world.” It’s worth asking, plainly: is […]
Data centers have faced a public hanging before going to trial. Proponents didn’t even have a chance to select a jury before their case was dismissed. This is a textbook example of a public relations failure. Singularly focused on regulatory burdens and land use, data center owners forgot that every plot of land has neighbors. […]
Spain currently hosts approximately 3,700 American troops at Rota and Moron but routinely bars those vital bases and its airspace whenever Washington and Jerusalem strike Iran. Italy similarly bottles up Sigonella the moment a combat sortie stops looking like basic logistics. Such diplomatic restrictions represent a host-nation veto on American power. Yet Gaza answers this veto. […]
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner cannot stop obsessing over President Donald Trump. Less than three weeks after suggesting the White House ballroom would be blown up, the City of Brotherly Love’s top prosecutor’s unhinged infatuation with the president continued as Krasner filmed another video critical of Trump, this time suggesting in a social media post […]
