Our nation’s schools are failing to teach our children to read, and a new report shows that the learning loss began more than a decade ago, well before COVID-19. Fortunately, the same report found that some districts have reversed the decline through tried-and-true teaching methods. Now we need the political will to implement those reforms […]
PITTSBURGH — The investment firm Ancora is pushing U.S. Steel shareholders to drop the Nippon Steel merger and oust CEO David Burritt, a move that would align with President Donald Trump’s insistence that U.S. Steel stay in American hands. It is unclear from its statement how big a stake in U.S. Steel the Cleveland-based finance company […]
President Donald Trump issued an expansive executive order last week to end illegal preferences and discrimination endemic in diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. During its implementation, let’s hope the U.S. secretary of education applies this directive to K-12 public education, which is deeply plagued with DEI cancer to the detriment of our nation’s children. Conservative efforts to […]
President Donald Trump kept a major campaign promise this week when he terminated all diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates. With the stroke of a pen, he freed the government from checking imaginary boxes on race, gender, and sexuality and returned to a focus on merit.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Vice President JD Vance echoed at the March for Life that the pro-life movement has the governmental influence it needs to continue to pass consistent legislation.

The first few days of President Donald Trump’s second administration have been busier than a Hillary Clinton aide on emergency document-shredding duty.

DISORIENTED DEMOCRATS STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT HIT THEM. On Feb. 1, the Democratic National Committee will gather in suburban Maryland to elect a new chair. Every indication suggests Democrats still don’t fully appreciate what happened to them in the 2024 election. The two main contenders are Ken Martin, who is head of the Minnesota state Democratic Party, […]
The first month of this new Congress has shown Republicans are not just talking about change; we are delivering it. In November, 77 million Americans gave us a clear mandate. They told us they want results, not excuses. They want a government that will work to secure our borders, lower costs, restore our energy independence, and […]
Watch what jokes you crack in public: Your neighbor might just report you to the government if something you say hurts his feelings. At least, that’s the bleak reality facing Oregon residents and people in other blue jurisdictions, according to an alarming new report. Since 2020, the state of Oregon has operated a “Bias Response […]
In his first week back in the White House, President Donald Trump issued several executive orders related to health policy. But lasting action on healthcare reform, from reining in wasteful or fraudulent Medicaid spending to rolling back billions in premium subsidies, can only come from Congress, which holds the power of the purse. It’s imperative that […]
When Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the nonprofit organizations he controlled would not spend hundreds of millions of dollars as they had in the past to help targeted populations vote in 2024, then-President Joe Biden turned to taxpayers instead. Biden’s Executive Order 14019 was an illegal use of federal resources for political activities, and […]
