Ten California mayors push back against Gov. Newsom's high-speed rail funding plans, opposing the use of local taxpayer money after 16 years of no track.
Millions of Americans still tune in to local television news for weather alerts, traffic updates, sports, school closings, and community affairs. While the share of the public getting news from local television has declined somewhat, roughly 65% of U.S. adults share this common civic experience. This is why it is concerning that a coalition of […]
Even if most people had not heard of the 4 Nations hockey tournament that concluded this week, they were thrilled by the national anthem faceoff that accompanied the matches. Part of this was catharsis: For a while, one would be hard pressed to find a crowd singing along in full to the U.S. National Anthem […]
President Donald Trump‘s firings of bureaucrats and the sob stories that accompany them prove how incompetent and self-absorbed too many federal employees are. The latest frantic scandal liberal media has conjured up to attack Trump on this matter came from the national parks. In this case, the Washington Post led its coverage with the following […]
If you listen to the press and self-aggrandizing activists from pro-labor conservative groups (some of which, like American Compass, are funded by left-wing Big Philanthropy groups such as the Hewlett Foundation), the Trump administration is making a major shift by appointing a pro-union labor secretary in former Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer rather than a supporter of […]
It is no secret that China is set on world domination. Militarily, technologically, culturally, and economically, the Chinese Communist Party’s stated goal is to displace the United States as the global superpower. And a key player in that strategy is Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei, the world leader in 5G. This emerging technology is set to create […]
Hours after the heavily propagandized return of the bodies of four Israeli hostages, officials released findings that fully unmask the hate and callousness of Hamas and the Islamic terror groups who perpetrated the attacks of Oct. 7, 2023. Three of the four bodies were said to belong to Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel Bibas, the wife […]
If the investigation becomes politicized or divisive, it could paralyze the Pentagon — and create a generation of risk-averse combatant commanders who fear future...
In his inaugural address, President Donald Trump cast a bold vision for a moonshot that received too little attention: ending global conflict. He said America will achieve “peace through strength” via deterrence, making the U.S. military the strongest and most capable fighting force in the world. He also made clear that our primary object of […]
President Donald Trump’s exclusion of the Associated Press from the Oval Office and Air Force One for using “Gulf of Mexico” rather than switching to “Gulf of America” is petty, dictatorial, and wrong. In other regards, however, the absurd spat over the gulf supports Oscar Wilde’s observation that the truth is never pure and rarely […]
One word has dominated congressional politics as of late: reconciliation. Last week, the House and Senate budget committees passed their competing budget resolution frameworks. These frameworks serve one crucial purpose: to unlock the reconciliation process, which is perhaps the only chance to sign President Donald Trump’s full legislative agenda into law. For one of these […]
The Philadelphia Eagles are the NFL champions. They defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in the Super Bowl on Feb. 9 in New Orleans, Louisiana. In doing so, they cemented themselves as the new America’s Team. It’s a moniker that has belonged to the Dallas Cowboys since 1978 after an NFL Films producer first referred […]
If you had any doubt about the “vibe shift” in 2025 Washington, look no further than the impact the Make America Healthy Again movement has had on pharmaceutical innovation and the corporations responsible for it. When the Biden administration explored manipulating decades-old legislation to seize pharmaceutical patents in December 2023, pioneering drug companies, free marketeers, […]
Elite Washington, D.C., parenting circles were rocked late last year, in the week before Thanksgiving. A head of school at one of the top preschools in Washington was arrested and charged with sex crimes against children. The married father of two, James S.
