Steve Eimers takes on TVA

In America, the government is rarely doing the job it claims to do with the millions it takes from us in taxes, such as building and maintaining safe roadways.

Comer and Oz to investigate Hochul for potential fraud in New York’s Medicaid programs

The $260 billion budget proposal introduced by Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) in January included a significant increase to Medicaid spending. However, the governor’s election-year budget won’t quiet accountability calls regarding an alleged Medicaid abuse scheme by the state of New York and concerns over a possible cover-up by the Hochul administration.

Its nuclear-powered attack submarines and ballistic missile submarines remain unmatched in speed, endurance, and global reach.

American decline, or a rebound?

The great violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman posted a 1964 video on social media this week in which he is seen at age 18 playing a violin concerto.

You don’t often find the philosopher Donald Trump of Queens and the historian Thucydides of Athens in the same article. Kudos, as Thucydides would say to Foreign Policy magazine.

The kids are alt-right

Young men are turning to fascism. I don’t use that word lightly. Hypochondriac leftists apply it to everything they dislike, from farmers’ markets to air travel. Still, when I see the combination of antisemitism, white nationalism, hostility to markets, and apologias for actual, literal Nazism (notably through the elevation of Adolf Hitler’s legal apologist, Carl […]
