DHS suspending 2 travel programs amid shutdown

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will pause two of its programs meant to expedite the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) airport screening process starting Sunday as a shutdown of the agency stretches into a second week, according to The Washington Post.

Pennsylvania dairy farmers celebrate the Whole Milk Act

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania — When word reached the dairy farmers gathered at the Pennsylvania Farm Show that President Donald Trump had signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, cheers echoed through the cavernous 24-acre complex packed with farmers, thousands of attendees, and even a few goats, cows, and horses. No one was more exuberant at […]

Democrats — the party of lawbreaking

Minnesota’s Democratic politicians have lost touch with reality — hardly surprising when their heads are lodged in a fundamentally dark place. Despite strong political competition to say the most clueless and incendiary things, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) might already have won this year’s prize. Inveighing against federal enforcement of immigration […]

Socialism’s rise is really a gift to America

It’s still the first month of America’s 250th birthday year, but it’s already clear that dark clouds are on the horizon. Socialism, not freedom, seems to have the political and popular momentum. It’s not just Mayor Zohran Mamdani in New York City. Democrats in Congress are prepping for big gains in the midterm elections, largely […]

Donald Trump disproves MAHA

One person not following the tenets of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s MAHA dogma: the president who made him Secretary of Health and Human Services. During a podcast promoting the White House’s updated, MAHA-minded dietary guidelines, Kennedy bemoaned President Donald Trump‘s diet of “really bad food” of McDonald’s and “Diet Coke at all times.” “I don’t […]

Against the vice economy

Waking up on a Saturday morning to find out that Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro has been captured in a lightning raid by United States special forces is surreal enough. But imagine learning of the raid on CNN and then being invited to bet on it. CNN recently signed a deal with “web-based prediction market platform” […]

Years of law enforcement hatred is taking a toll on Minneapolis police

Minnesota Democrats are running around telling their activist base to defy Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers while not acknowledging the fact that they are legitimate law enforcement officials. It harkens back to the demonization of Minneapolis police officers, and those officers are feeling it again. According to the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, a police union representing Minneapolis police […]

Illegal pickup

It’s another reason the Dodgers never should have left Brooklyn. If you had to choose one photograph to capture American childhood in the 1950s, you might pick an Arthur Leipzig shot of children playing stickball in front of the brownstones of Bedford-Stuyvesant. Leipzig would have never published a photo like that from Los Angeles because […]

Trump’s move against Maduro is wildly popular among Latin Americans, including Venezuelans

Last week, we highlighted the political cynicism and incoherence expressed by many Democrats after President Donald Trump ordered a daring and successful raid by U.S. special forces to capture and exfiltrate erstwhile Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. The socialist strongman and his wife now sit in American jail cells as they await trial on a host […]

Trump’s sordid pardon economy

Then-Reps. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and Chris Collins (R-NY) were the first two House members to endorse Donald Trump in early 2016. Both men were indicted on federal charges in 2018, and both nevertheless ran for reelection and won with explicit support from Trump. After winning, Hunter and Collins both pleaded guilty in 2019. Hunter admitted […]

Mullah lite?

The worst case in Iran is not that the regime murders thousands of civilians and survives in power. The worst case is that the regime commits mass murder and survives in power despite American intervention. The result would resemble what happened to President Jimmy Carter in 1980. When the Marines failed to extract American hostages […]

The problem with populism: Anger feels good but isn’t an effective way to govern

Populism is having a defining moment again, though it never really went away. This approach to politics surged after Donald Trump made his appearance on the stage in 2015, along with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the Democratic primaries. The two candidacies helped to reshape both parties a decade ago, and this populist trend remains […]

The Trump takeover at 10: The president is a year into his second term but captured the GOP a decade ago

A decade before he exercised force in Venezuela, sought the fall of Cuba, or fixed his eyes on Greenland, Donald Trump had his sights not on conquering nations but on toppling his rivals for the Republican nomination for president. Small stakes can have large ramifications. To vanquish those seeking the 2016 GOP presidential nomination would […]

The Western alliance is broken beyond repair

Why is no one stopping him? In grabbing at Greenland, President Donald Trump is endangering America, enfeebling the West, and imperiling the world. And all for what? Is there a military rationale? On the contrary, for defense purposes, the United States has controlled Greenland for 85 years. The issue is not whether America gets to […]

Trump should honor his Iran promise with action

President Donald Trump drew a red line on Jan. 2, warning that if Iran’s rulers answered mass protests with mass murder, the United States would respond militarily. Since then, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called the bluff. The regime’s security forces have cracked down, killing thousands and detaining more. That leaves Trump with a decision that […]
