While football fans might see the Cleveland Browns as a charity case, the team is actually a for-profit enterprise. Since Dee and Jimmy Haslam bought the team in August 2012, the franchise has increased in value fivefold from less than $1 billion to more than $5 billion, outpacing the stock market by about 50%. The Browns’ product, […]
By now, we’ve all surely witnessed the unwanted side effects of excessive screen time in children. Generation Z, born in roughly 1995-2012, grew up enmeshed in online culture. Their successors in Generation Alpha essentially exited the womb with a tablet computer in their hands. Last week, the Texas House of Representatives passed House Bill 186, which […]
Washington state Democrats are singling out religious leaders in a law they claim is upholding the separation between church and state. In reality, it is the imposition of the state on the church, singling out religion as the focus of the law. The new law that has been signed by Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson adds […]
Under President Donald Trump’s leadership, America is done trading strength for dependency. For too long, we’ve relied on foreign markets for critical goods, watched our economy bleed from staggering trade deficits, and left ourselves vulnerable to the whims of global competitors.

In 2013, I boarded a plane at London’s Heathrow Airport, ready for the 11-hour journey to San Francisco to begin a career in software engineering. This moment was the culmination of a yearslong goal to move to the United States. Why? Because I wanted to live in the U.S., contribute to the U.S., and be […]
Flexible work is highly valued by Americans today, and it motivates people. This Small Business Week, an encouraging new poll revealed the electorate‘s views of independent work and why it’s important to preserve self-employment in America. Policymakers would be wise to stand with the self-employed, freelancers, and gig workers, not against them. In a newly released poll, wide margins […]
America started attracting immigrants long before it became a country. Already in the late 1600s and early 1700s, there were newcomers from Germany, Ulster, France, etc. What made them immigrants? They willingly moved to a place, in this case colonies, that had been established and settled by others. To succeed, they roughly assimilated to the […]
Immigration policy should serve the national interest and the common good of Americans. This means that immigrants themselves should be patriotically assimilated into the American way of life and that our system of immigration should be consistent with protecting national security. Commonsense measures to strengthen national security within immigration law have been proposed for years […]
In a striking example of Iran’s continuing terrorist threat to the West, United Kingdom authorities arrested eight men in two separate operations on Saturday. The first operation saw five men, including four Iranians, detained in five different areas of England.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) recently ripped into progressives for opposing Medicaid reform. “Medicaid is meant to be a state-federal partnership,” Cassidy, who has an M.D., wrote on X. “States are supposed to pay for 40% of the cost. Most states are paying for less than 15%. … People should not be asking what is the […]
If Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is any measure of how realistically we are taking artificial intelligence’s looming threats to humanity, the answer is: not realistically enough. For the past few years, AI has hurtled towards each next step in optimization. ChatGPT made for a mainstream tool, but before that, people speculated — as in movies […]
Conservatives were correct and former President Joe Biden and CNN were incorrect when conservatives said it was corrupt for the Bidens to blend personal pursuit of profit with Biden’s duties as president. So, we should be equally clear and correct now: It is corrupt for Eric Trump to blend Trump Organization business with his father’s […]
