Abelardo de la Espriella appears to have won Colombia’s presidential election. If the results hold, his victory will be another welcome nail in the coffin of the socialist Left in Latin America. De la Espriella was endorsed by President Donald Trump, who responded Monday to the victory by saying he would be a “great president.” […]
Democrats simply cannot or will not find a normal candidate to run in competitive or hostile Senate races. That leads to candidates such as Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico, who have to run away from their bizarre past comments to avoid alienating voters. On paper, the Senate race in Texas should at least be […]
Under pressure from U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government, the director of the United Kingdom’s GCHQ signals intelligence service (responsible for hacking phones, computers, satellites, and electronic communications) has given China a pass on its hyper-aggressive espionage. In a major speech on Wednesday, Anne Keast-Butler was rightly robust in her criticism of Russian offenses against […]

During a 1998 trip to Uganda, President Bill Clinton provided what many historians considered to be the first apology by the United States for its role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Speaking before a school in the Ugandan capital of Kampala, Clinton apologized for “European Americans” benefiting from the “fruits of the slave trade.” “And […]
THE CIA’S INSANE GOLD BARS SCANDAL. Here is the basic story, as alleged in an affidavit filed in federal court: In 2009, a man named David Rush, a Navy veteran, took a job at the CIA.

The Permian Basin is one of the largest oil and gas regions in the world, and that productivity has become its own problem. Natural gas is arriving at the Waha Hub in West Texas faster than existing infrastructure can move it, creating periodic pricing collapses and exposing the simple truth that supply without predictable demand […]
Having secured seven Republican signatures on their discharge petition, Democratic lawmakers just secured an imminent vote on the Faster Labor Contracts Act — a union leaders’ pipedream that was considered too radical to pass Congress even under the Obama-era Democratic supermajority. This legislation would allow unelected, uninformed federal bureaucrats to set the terms of union […]
The United States is more energy-dominant than ever before. We lead the world in oil and gas production, producing more than at any other time in history. Yet the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz proves that energy dominance doesn’t protect us entirely from global shocks. The ultimate energy dominance is energy sovereignty, which requires […]

The food stamp program was born during the Great Depression as an emergency mechanism to get basic staple foods to families facing widespread hardship.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has restricted the flow of energy to global markets, severely impacting oil prices. As a direct result of rising oil prices, gas prices have also risen worldwide, including in the United States. Although the average prices of gas and diesel have risen in the U.S. to $4.51 per […]
The prevailing climate change narrative took a big hit in recent days, as scientists who comprise the United Nations’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are backing away from more outlandish climate predictions for the 21st century. Extreme forecasts of rising temperatures of 4 to 5 degrees, the scientists wrote in the journal Geoscientific Model Development, […]
