No, California’s Backyard BBQ Ban Proposal Is Not Justified

Why Iran may back down after Israel’s devastating attack

In every war, after the first bullet flies, the first question asked is “How does this end?” Anyone who confidently answers is either Nostradamus...

There’s a new sheriff in town, and his name is Donald Trump

The Left has gone apoplectic because a Republican president has finally stood up to their violent activism. For decades, the Left has used organized violent demonstrations and domestic terrorism to bully conservatives and Republicans to influence public opinion, pressure political decisions, and manipulate legislative actions. For the most part, their bullying has worked. Democrats have […]

Trump leading Pennsylvania Energy Summit highlights US renaissance

PITTSBURGH — The leaders of America’s renaissance in energy, technology, manufacturing, labor, and artificial intelligence are coming together with President Donald Trump for the inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit. Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) said the event will bring all stakeholders to the same room on a scale never seen before. “We are in a […]

Israel’s Iran slam tells ALL dictators: The free world will defend itself

Israel hit Iran before Iran could hit us with nuclear weapons — not for “escalation,” but for survival.

No one is above the law, except Alex Padilla?

Democrats need to figure out if they really believe if “no one is above the law,” or if they only apply that standard to Republicans. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) provided the latest test of this question. Padilla stormed a press conference from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, tried to push his way past security while shouting at her, and did […]

Democrats are in a bubble on illegal immigration

Most of the people paid to report or comment on immigration in the United States believe illegal immigrants in general should not be deported. Most of the media folks commenting on and covering the riots in Los Angeles are generally sympathetic with the cause, even if they’re uneasy with the most violent and antisocial behavior […]

Israel-Iran war will bring military and terrorism challenges for US

Israel‘s military operation against Iran‘s nuclear program began with speed and impressive strategic effect on Friday. Still, the United States will face significant military and counterterrorism challenges as the conflict continues. Israel’s early successes are significant. Numerous high-ranking Iranian nuclear scientists and military officials, including the heads of the Iranian military, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, […]

Trump must stand firm with Israel to slam the door on Iran’s nukes — and achieve Middle East peace

The US and Israel are perfectly aligned in ending Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions for good — and Tehran won't comply unless it perceives zero...

The inevitability of MAID

There is almost no chance that Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) vetoes New York state’s Senate- and Assembly-passed suicide bill. It won’t be entirely her fault. To call the practice “physician-assisted suicide” is far from describing the proposed law too harshly. The Medical Aid in Dying Act permits assisted suicide for the terminally ill, in the […]

Newsom’s ‘California way’ would take away your gas-powered car

Congress recently voted to give Californians weary of expensive government green energy burdens relief from the state’s electric vehicle mandate and its stricter-than-the-rest-of-the-country emissions standards.  You’d think Gov. Gavin Newsom and other officials would look for an off-ramp upon hearing this news to avoid the inevitable crash they have orchestrated. But they not only ripped right on by […]

Perhaps there are drawbacks to sending ideologues abroad

The acting Fulbright Commission Board’s mass resignation this past Wednesday marks a significant moment for education abroad. The board, via a Substack post, cited alleged Trump administration interference in the award process, claiming that the Department of State sent rejection letters to candidates whose applications featured DEI keywords that Trump banned via recent executive order.  […]

The Senate must eliminate foreign fraud and abuse in Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’

The House recently passed a package of pro-growth policies included in President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill.” It’s a bold package of tax cuts, pro-family policies, and investments in American prosperity. But one critical piece of this legislation now hangs in the balance: closing the “double duty drawback loophole” for tobacco. This outrageous provision […]

The US needs leadership and the rule of law, not chaos

I’ve served in combat zones around the world, walked high-crime foot patrol, and deployed to our southern border. I know what happens when we let chaos overtake order. And what’s happening right now in Los Angeles is a warning we must not ignore. The riots burning the city to the ground are not “peaceful protests.” […]

Josh Hawley’s minimum wage misfire

It’s a headline designed to make President Ronald Reagan roll over in his grave: “Conservative Sen. Josh Hawley wants to raise federal minimum wage.” And we’re not talking about a minor increase: This “conservative” Republican senator just embraced a key part of the Bernie Sanders agenda, a $15 national minimum wage. “Missouri GOP Sen. Josh […]
