Study showing increase in left-wing violence omitted numerous acts of left-wing violence

The tragic assassination of conservative Republican activist Charlie Kirk was a grotesque display of left-wing intolerance. To many on the Right, this is nothing new.

US military deployments near Venezuela portend seizure operations

Things are heating up when it comes to prospective U.S. military action inside Venezuela.

Manchester attack shows a darkening future for Europe and its Jews

A recent terrorist attack in Manchester, England, testifies to a darkening future for not only Europe‘s Jews, but Europe itself. To save both, both the press and the policymakers must stand forthright against antisemitism. On Thursday, a man attacked the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Manchester, murdering two. The attacker rammed his car into worshippers […]

There is no denying: Red states are better on education

Democrats pretend to own the education issue because they shovel money into schools and the pockets of teachers unions.

A terrorist killed two Jewish worshippers in a car-ramming and stabbing attack outside the Heaton Park Hebrew synagogue in Manchester, England, on Thursday.

Trump’s window for avoiding a recession might be closing

President Donald Trump and many of his supporters celebrated last week when second-quarter gross domestic product numbers were revised upward to 3.8%, well above the 3% that pro-Trump economists celebrated as “absolutely blockbuster.” Economic growth of nearly 4% is welcome, as are the tax cuts and deregulation that helped spur it. But the White House shouldn’t pop the […]

Parents urge Trump to probe Las Cruces schools

After the Washington Examiner exclusively obtained an administrative complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Education to protect vulnerable schoolgirls, Defending Education lodged a second complaint against New Mexico’s second-largest school district, Las Cruces Public Schools.  Given that this dangerous policy enforced in the state’s school districts is no longer an isolated issue, President Donald […]

October is National Economic Education Month. We need it more than ever

A fundamental economic principle is that voluntary trade creates wealth, and the more people trade, the greater their well-being. Most economists agree that the more a nation’s citizens can trade with each other and with other countries, the better off they become. Since the end of World War II, the United States has generally worked […]

Democrats’ shutdown devastation

“Families will be hurt. Farmers will be hurt. Border security and border patrol agents will not be paid. TSA agents will not be paid.

So, when Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, […]

For whom the bell trolls: Sombrero meme reveals who’s winning shutdown fight

Want to know who’s winning in politics? Look at who’s laughing and who’s trying to keep their chin up. Remember those joyful early days of then-Vice President Kamala Harris‘s campaign?

Let Ukraine throw Tomahawks at Russia

The Trump administration is said to be considering Ukraine‘s request for Tomahawk cruise missiles, weapons that would dramatically expand its ability to strike deep inside Russia.
