Democrat trifectas in key swing states could push the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact past 270 electoral votes needed to activate it and thus change the way Americans select the presidency.
On Nov. 4, the 47th anniversary of the U.S. Embassy seizure in Tehran, the city’s mayor, Alireza Zakani, told demonstrators about “the decisive defeat of the United States and the Zionist regime in recent developments and elections.” Iran’s parliament speaker and chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, posted on X: “Americans said NO TO WAR, and […]
Election Day has come and gone, and as usual, none of the Left’s doomsday prognostications or scenarios invoked by its hyperbolic hysteria and scaremongering nonsense came to fruition. After days, weeks, and months of warnings about President Donald Trump’s authoritarian regime stealing the election, it all turned out to be completely and utterly false. In […]
The midterm elections are over, but for some Americans, the anxiety is just beginning. For months, campaign ads, fundraising emails, and cable news panels have warned voters that their freedom, safety, and the country’s future hang on the outcome. Now those whose candidates lost may be wondering just how bad things are going to get. […]
Nazi! Fascist! Dictator! Authoritarian! King! Those were just some of the many, many insults that liberals, Democrats, socialists, and communists hurled at President Donald Trump over the years. And they’ve been doing it for nearly 10 years. Yet, here we are in 2026, and the Fourth Reich has not been established. No monarchy was ushered […]
Four hundred or so years ago, on Nov. 5, 1605, a plot to blow up the British Parliament failed. It was known as the Gunpowder Plot, and I’ve been burning Guy Fawkes, one of the culprits, in effigy at my home in Arlington for the past few years. The police are gracious enough to stop […]
Tuesday night’s results should force a serious reckoning inside the Republican Party. Not just with candidates who underperformed, and not just about the political environment, but with the consulting class that spent this election cycle insisting to donors and candidates they could win by just drumming up their base — “Socialism!” — and turning out […]
The Supreme Court may soon tell 401(k) savers to bring a “meaningful benchmark” to court. Before it does, savers should be able to get the numbers to build one. On Oct. 6, the justices heard Anderson v. Intel Corp. Investment Policy Committee, a challenge to private equity and hedge fund holdings inside Intel’s custom retirement […]
After an election like this one, the political consultant class searches for one tidy explanation for what went wrong. There never is, and anybody who tells you a single issue cost Republicans control of Congress is selling you something. Smart politicos can all point to inflation, turnout, candidate quality, and the old midterm curse on […]
Twenty-two governors recently signed Vice President JD Vance’s Pledge to Protect Americans from Fraud. Noting that American taxpayers fund trillions in government benefits to support citizens in need, the pledge declares: “We must do all we can to stop the fraud and bring fraudsters and their enablers to justice, restoring trust and preserving these programs […]
On Sunday morning, two days before Michigan voted, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) walked into Perfecting Church in Detroit and took a seat beside Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers. She had been scheduled to attend a Detroit church service that same day with Abdul el Sayed, the man who narrowly beat her in the August Democratic […]
This year, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation is awarding its “Freedom Prize” to the “Iranian people,” with Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi — the heir to Iran’s monarchy and a popular, influential, respected, and credible Iranian figure — accepting on their behalf. The announcement immediately unleashed intrigue, smear campaigns, controversy, and toxic propaganda from a familiar triangle […]
California is a stronghold of the American Left. Yet even there, a wealth tax on billionaires appears to have been rejected by voters. The tax was supported, among others, by economists Gabriel Zucman and Emmanuel Saez, who have been campaigning for higher taxes on large fortunes for years. The proposal called for a one-time tax […]
Sixty percent. That’s how many Michigan Jews early exit polling reveals voted for a candidate who not only couldn’t passively condemn Jew-hate from peers, but actively campaigned on sinister rhetoric himself. That’s how many Jews willingly, even enthusiastically, participated in sending the first explicitly anti-zionist Senate candidate to Washington. In a word: oy. This is […]
In my medical career and my public service as a county commissioner president. I have learned that budgets reveal true priorities. When corporate consolidation or systemic inefficiencies drain local healthcare resources, independent physicians feel the squeeze first. The exact same economic friction applies to the national electorate. The proposed cutoff of direct aid to Israel […]
