James Comer says Anthony Fauci's autopen pardon is on legally questionable grounds after the former health official pleaded the Fifth more than 100 times.
Congress recently voted to give Californians weary of expensive government green energy burdens relief from the state’s electric vehicle mandate and its stricter-than-the-rest-of-the-country emissions standards. You’d think Gov. Gavin Newsom and other officials would look for an off-ramp upon hearing this news to avoid the inevitable crash they have orchestrated. But they not only ripped right on by […]
The acting Fulbright Commission Board’s mass resignation this past Wednesday marks a significant moment for education abroad. The board, via a Substack post, cited alleged Trump administration interference in the award process, claiming that the Department of State sent rejection letters to candidates whose applications featured DEI keywords that Trump banned via recent executive order. […]
The House recently passed a package of pro-growth policies included in President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill.” It’s a bold package of tax cuts, pro-family policies, and investments in American prosperity. But one critical piece of this legislation now hangs in the balance: closing the “double duty drawback loophole” for tobacco. This outrageous provision […]
I’ve served in combat zones around the world, walked high-crime foot patrol, and deployed to our southern border. I know what happens when we let chaos overtake order. And what’s happening right now in Los Angeles is a warning we must not ignore. The riots burning the city to the ground are not “peaceful protests.” […]
It’s a headline designed to make President Ronald Reagan roll over in his grave: “Conservative Sen. Josh Hawley wants to raise federal minimum wage.” And we’re not talking about a minor increase: This “conservative” Republican senator just embraced a key part of the Bernie Sanders agenda, a $15 national minimum wage. “Missouri GOP Sen. Josh […]
“We’re not a king. We’re not a king,” said President Donald Trump, speaking to news reporters at the White House on June 12. It was his best line of the day. If it was intentional, it was a more subtle piece of media trolling than we are used to from the president. For Trump was […]
The Smithsonian Institution’s Board of Regents may have to get used to meetings where accountability is expected. At this week’s much-anticipated one, members yielded to President Donald Trump’s demand for an audit of politicized content. Alas, they also circled the wagons around Smithsonian Institution Secretary Lonnie Bunch. The Wall Street Journal reports that, according to a […]
It’s no secret former President Joe Biden and the Democrats left the United States in a mess. In just four years, Democrats managed to spend our country into a crisis and explode inflation by more than 20%. People were left with less buying power to put food on the table and higher interest rates, while our […]
If the United States will not keep its word even to its closest allies, what is its friendship worth? In reviewing the AUKUS deal — a $240 billion multidecade agreement with the United Kingdom and Australia to share nuclear submarine technology — the Trump administration is vindicating every anti-American agitator who claims that Uncle Sam […]
If you thought your niece’s high school graduation ran a little long last weekend, if you had to show up 30 minutes early to get three seats together at your son’s graduation, or if you had to park three blocks away, there’s good news for you: Future graduations will be less crowded — statistically speaking. This […]
Three thousand miles away from the riots in Los Angeles, President Donald Trump’s deportation policies are disrupting life on the quaint little resort island of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, too. According to the Washington Post, work has been halted on the construction of multimillion-dollar vacation homes, the pools at luxury resorts are going without maintenance, and […]
When all else fails, blame fiscal irresponsibility. California Democrats know it better than anyone. During violent riots in Los Angeles over Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, President Donald Trump deployed National Guard members and Marines to aid officers. The cost associated with doing so is reported to be $134 million. Naturally, the Democrats have latched […]
Simone Biles is an Olympic gold medalist in gymnastics, but she may also be a gold medalist in mental gymnastics. That or, perhaps, she is just a bit of a hypocrite. On a random Friday, Biles decided to jump into the debate on transgender athletes in response to a post from former University of Kentucky […]
Since the start of President Donald Trump‘s second term, the weight of the world, or at least of global markets, international trade, and geopolitical relations, has fallen on the shoulders of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, whose portfolio spans everything from China tariffs to bond auctions. But Bessent’s toughest negotiating partner is probably not Chinese President […]
