Todd Young (R-Indiana) said on Friday that the Trump administration would need to seek congressional approval before renewing military action against Iran, after officials asserted the 60-day war powers clock stopped running when the ceasefire took effect. “The purpose of the War Powers Act was to assert the constitutional responsibility of Congress to declare...
It is an uncomfortable truth that America’s enthusiasm for technological innovation often leads legislatures to harm low-income families through burdensome regulations. Case in point is automotive insurance regulation, which forces low-income families to fund technological innovation that prices them out of the market. Skyrocketing insurance prices exacerbate economic exclusion and social dependence for teenage drivers. […]
To say Renee Baldwin was my makeup artist is incorrect. To say she was the makeup artist feels downright disrespectful. The truth is that for everyone who ever sat down in her chair at Newsmax, Rising, ESPN, or any of the other studios she graced with her beauty and kindness, Renee Baldwin was our friend. […]
For years, Democrats have allowed crime to flourish in cities throughout the country. Once-grand metropolises such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia have succumbed to the Left’s legislative lawlessness, turning the country’s great beacons of urban living into slums with a booming criminal underworld. Washington, D.C., is no exception, as the nation’s capital […]
Of all Iranian diaspora leaders, Reza Pahlavi, the son of the ousted shah, has the greatest legitimacy. He has name recognition, and even those Iranians who supported the 1979 Islamic Revolution look upon the monarchy as the golden age before sanctions, war, and corruption hobbled the country. Iranians recognize that their grandparents had better living […]

The White House last week informed Lonnie Bunch, the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, that it’s putting the museums under review — in other words, adult supervision.

When Democratic legislators in Texas returned to work on Monday after going AWOL for a couple of weeks, a small group of supporters at the chamber shouted, “This is what democracy looks like.” One must agree, if not for the reason that the partisans intended. Elected representatives going to work to do what they were […]
The United States is facing a stark challenge as we speak: It does not have enough detention capacity to uphold its immigration laws, safeguard its communities, or ensure due process. Despite the increasing complexity of border security and interior enforcement, Congress has still not authorized the necessary funding to meet the scale of demand, let […]
President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and various European leaders are focused on “security guarantees” to uphold any possible peace settlement between Russia and Ukraine. Ideas on the table range from the deployment of European troops in Ukraine to collective defense guarantees along the lines of NATO’s Article 5, which commits all NATO members […]
The latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown is successfully undoing the damage caused by former President Joe Biden’s open border policies. But a fatal car crash in Florida suggests more must still be done. According to the best analysis of Census data by the Center for Immigration […]
FAIRFAX, Virginia — County prosecutors dropped the lone prostitution-related charge against an apparent brothel on a residential street in Falls Church, instead slapping the proprietor with a $500 fine for a missing massage permit.

President Donald Trump’s 72-hour stretch from last Friday’s meeting with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in Alaska to Monday’s gathering of the most powerful leaders in Europe and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is unrivaled in American history.
