All 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, have joined a federal initiative to balance the ratio of licensed foster homes and children in foster care.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said on Saturday he was detained for over an hour in the West Bank earlier this week by Israeli settlers and that the detention continued with Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers arrived on the scene. “Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine,”...
As socialists appear to rise in America, attacks on the country’s Founders oddly are accompanied by efforts to co-opt the Revolution and American values. For instance, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has emphasized how the Revolution was a battle against billionaires of the revolutionary period. This distracts from the fundamental point of the Revolution: that the […]
This week, the 11th Circuit blocked the higher education provisions of Florida’s Stop Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees Act, the 2022 law restricting how public university professors discuss race and sex. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has characterized the decision as requiring Florida to teach critical race theory. Read the opinion, and you will find […]
We are having the wrong argument about the 14th Amendment. The debate should not center on birthright citizenship (a ridiculous concept). It should center on whether the amendment itself was ever legitimately ratified. If constitutional government means anything, that question cannot be ignored simply because the amendment became politically entrenched. After the Civil War, Congress […]
Georgia’s economy minister announced Monday that the state will build the Anaklia deep-sea port on its own, under a “landlord model” — full state ownership, no shares sold, no strategic investor. The Chinese-Singaporean consortium selected in 2024 to hold 49% of the project was not mentioned once. That silence was the news: Beijing is out […]
The Supreme Court decision on birthright citizenship may look like the end of one immigration fight. It is better understood as the beginning of the next one. The administration’s broad constitutional argument has now run into the wall of the 14th Amendment. But presidents rarely abandon immigration policy because a court narrows the path. They […]
Too often, American veterans return from foreign wars only to find themselves stranded at home. Sometimes, veterans’ longest battle is navigating the VA claims system or attempting to receive assistance from the Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs) created to help them. I’ve experienced that indifference from both sides of the government. I completed basic training in […]
The American justice system exists to peacefully resolve disputes, protect our rights, and hold wrongdoers accountable. Too often, though, it’s misused, turned into an investment vehicle for overseas financiers in pursuit of jackpot verdicts who purchase stakes in lawsuits against American companies. Third-party litigation funding, or TPLF, is dangerous to the integrity of the system, […]
The U.S. nuclear energy sector is entering a long-awaited resurgence. Over the past few months, momentum has accelerated at a pace the industry has not seen in decades. The Department of Energy’s commitment of $17.5 billion to accelerate the deployment of up to 10 new Westinghouse AP1000 reactors could break the logjam that has prevented […]
After a marriage dissolves because of spousal abuse, those closest to the victim usually decry that pre-wedding red flags were ignored. Since Iran’s conduct early in negotiations with the United States openly reveals early warning signs, shouldn’t President Donald Trump call off the ceremony before he pays the caterer and commits the dowry? It should […]
New Jersey has spent decades substituting government mandates for market competition and individual freedom. The bill for that overreach is now coming due.
Global competition has dominated foreign policy conversations for the past ten years, pushing topics like investment in American manufacturing, reliable supply chains, and protection of domestic technology advantage to the top of the priority list. Sadly, far less attention has been paid to the human capital that surrounds those top priorities — the leaders, the […]
Just weeks after President Donald Trump signed a ceasefire memorandum that lifted financial sanctions on Iran’s foreign currency reserves, freed up Iranian oil exports, and committed the United States and its partners to a reconstruction framework worth hundreds of billions of dollars, Iran has violated the deal. U.S. Central Command struck more than 80 Iranian […]
The South Korean stock market, the KOSPI, is not an investment-grade asset, even though the country is home to two of the world’s premier technology companies: SK Hynix and Samsung. The simple truth is that the Korea Composite Stock Price Index is too volatile, illiquid, and prone to extreme speculation to be an appropriate destination for investment and […]
Last month, the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers sent a letter to the nation’s governors urging them to reject the opportunity to generate billions of additional dollars for K-12 education from the new Education Freedom Tax Credit. This followed a letter from 33 state teachers union leaders that also urged governors […]
