Three thousand years ago, Solomon, the third King of Israel, said, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” This was true then and holds true today, especially when politicians and tax dollars are involved. Every Republican, from hard-line fiscal libertarians to […]

EXCLUSIVE – MEYERSDALE, Pennsylvania — Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) said the deal between US Steel and Nippon Steel announced last Friday by President Donald Trump is a game changer on multiple levels. “It is a BFD [big f***ing deal],” a smiling Shapiro told the Washington Examiner, emphasizing that the deal will not only affect the […]

President Donald Trump’s tariffs are a critical tool to reorganize a broken global trading system and push back on economic coercion by America’s adversaries. Unfortunately, China has already figured out a simple workaround: Chinese companies are setting up anonymous shell companies to circumvent tariffs.

The Department of Homeland Security has requested 20,000 National Guard troops to assist its efforts to secure the southern U.S. border, a move the media has declared “unprecedented.” It’s not.

The United States has long been the world leader in charitable giving as a percentage of GDP, but, more […]

Gov. Gavin Newsom‘s (D-CA) Sacramento is spending like a drunken sailor, and it’s American taxpayers who are left with the hangover.  The governor’s latest budget “fixes” are less about fixing California’s real problems and more about siphoning off federal health dollars to paper over his own fiscal mismanagement. The result? Money meant for Medicare and […]

Harvard University and the federal government once shared a moral vision based on common values, and this was a mutually beneficial relationship. But those days are gone. Accordingly, the Trump administration’s decision to sever financial ties with Harvard is justified and necessary.  President Donald Trump’s administration signaled its intention on Tuesday to end remaining contracts with Harvard, worth an estimated $100 […]
