Clarence Thomas choked up recalling a promise he made after his grandparents' deaths and Thomas Sowell's influence on his thinking about self-reliance.
Former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent is advocating for President Donald Trump to get the U.S. out of the Iran war and remove U.S. troops from the Middle East.
ALIQUIPPA, Pennsylvania — A century ago, industrial communities across western Pennsylvania, from Johnstown to Beaver County, were home to large and growing Italian immigrant populations. They were part of the great migration from Italy that accelerated after 1890 and peaked around World War I. Drawn here by jobs in steel mills, coal mines, railroads, and […]
The inability of Democrat-run states to build much of anything remains a damning indictment of Democratic governance, especially when Republican-run states have shown how much easier construction and rebuilding can be. Maryland has moved ahead in the rebuilding process for the Francis Scott Key Bridge, opening the bidding process for the rebuild until Aug. 19. You may […]
Like man’s evolution from homo erectus to homo sapien, the next great leap in the woke lexicon has emerged before our eyes. Land acknowledgments and “no human is illegal” are out. Data colonialism is in. What is data colonialism? Well, while the former colonial empires of the world extracted land and labor from their subjects, […]
A specter is haunting the Democratic Party, the specter of far-left socialism. Once confined largely to college campuses and the political fringe, socialism has found an increasingly comfortable home within the party. Some candidates who openly embrace the label are winning Democratic primaries, while ideas once associated with the socialist left have moved into the […]
Early childhood education is critical, particularly for low-income families. My Archbridge Institute colleague and Nobel Prize winner James Heckman has written extensively on this topic. This is why the Trump administration’s proposed reforms to Head Start are so badly needed. In the real world, resources are not unlimited. We simply can’t afford to continue devoting […]
The first generation of Americans to watch their savings erased by inflation wore the uniform of the Continental Army. Washington’s soldiers were paid in paper Continentals printed by the wagonload, and by 1780 the currency had collapsed so thoroughly that “not worth a Continental” entered the national lexicon. The Founders never forgot the lesson, which […]
Last year, a Young Women for America ambassador in Nebraska (where the abortion drug is illegal) ordered the abortion drug from an Instagram page. She was not pregnant, but she filled out the online questionnaire, posing as an 18-week-pregnant minor. She did not get a receipt or order confirmation, but she did get a package […]
The Department of Labor (DOL) wants to help employers hold down drug costs. Instead, its latest move is likely to raise them. A proposed rule from the department would force pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to build a second, separate compliance system, on top of one Congress already passed months earlier. PBMs negotiate with pharmaceutical companies […]
It’s time to call an audible. America is looking for tomorrow’s workers in yesterday’s places. Employers continue searching for people who arrive with the right degree, the right experience, the right résumé, and every skill required to contribute on the first day. Then we act surprised when critical jobs remain unfilled. That is not simply […]
In the same vein that Ovaltine should be called “Roundtine,” the Democratic Socialists of America‘s Medicare for All plan should properly be called Medicaid for All. The DSA’s Workers Deserve Program claims it will fix the “broken healthcare system” by guaranteeing “universal healthcare at no cost to individuals, including complete access to reproductive and gender-affirming […]
President Donald Trump spent the last year breaking open a counter-drone system that kept too much authority bottled up in Washington. His June 2025 airspace order pushed federal agencies to build state and local detection capacity and a national training center. In December, he signed the FY2026 defense authorization with the SAFER SKIES Act, giving […]
