President Donald Trump has thrown yet another hand grenade into the economy, this time in the form of an evening post to Truth Social about imposing a 100% tariff on movies produced overseas. It seems strange to proclaim that “the Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death” and suggest a so-called defense that sparks […]
Open borders constitute a change of regime from the original founding belief in republican self-government and natural rights to the belief in an open society, which is justified by the cosmopolitan belief that “nobody is illegal” and we are all “citizens of the world.” This humanitarianism is often informed by the passion of compassion, an […]
In a culture that seems to pit “boss babes” and “trad wives” against each other, recent polling of voters by the Independent Women’s Forum shows one common sentiment in the conversation about femininity and family life: 90% of women agree that flexibility is important in the workforce. In today’s fast-evolving economy, flexibility in the workplace isn’t just a perk […]
This is what good government looks like: focused, humble and urgent. President Trump called for results over rhetoric, and the Social Security Administration is...
Unless we can envision a society in which the family takes social priority, the idea of a wide pronatalist coalition is implausible. That’s probably a good thing, even if it bodes poorly for politics. Still, the push for a sort of bipartisan pronatalism is gaining initiative, encouraged largely by the Trump administration’s current policy proposals. […]
Deep into what Marvel calls its fifth phase, the studio’s 36th film, Thunderbolts, unfolds in a post-Avengers era. The star-studded supergroup has disbanded, with its scant vestiges becoming fixtures within U.S. government bureaucracies; even the Winter Soldier is now a suited congressman. More proof that President Ronald Reagan was on to something when he quipped […]
“Bai lan” is a Chinese colloquial expression that means “let it rot” or “let it decay.” In contemporary terms, it represents a phenomenon in China’s culture that describes an apathetic mindset and disposition to accept a deteriorating situation rather than engage in any effort to improve it. It’s analogous to the effects Trump’s tariffs can […]
Freshman Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) may have had the political intuition to co-sponsor the Laken Riley Act, but he is still a Democrat, which means his true loyalty lies in maintaining open borders, hence his tweet on Cinco de Mayo calling for a mass amnesty for the literally millions of illegal immigrants former President Joe […]
In mere weeks, the Border Patrol achieved President Donald Trump’s goal of bringing security and operational control along the southern border. While this fact is laudable, it is critical to remember that the smugglers, cartels, and gangs that controlled the U.S.-Mexico border under former President Joe Biden will not give up their economic or physical […]
I graduated from Oxford University in 2012 with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in computer science, and I first came to the United States in 2013. My first job in America was as a software engineer, and I traveled on an H-1B visa: the non-immigrant visa that allows American employers to hire foreign workers in […]
That “diversity is our strength” is one of those obvious contradictions that people with common sense instantly recognize as hooey. It is poisonous hooey, mind you. As the British historian Arnold Toynbee said, “Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.” But the people selling diversity know that. They champion diversity not because it is a […]
I recently had the honor of visiting the White House as the administration was amplifying the successes of the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s term in office. While I was excited to have the chance to interview members of the administration for my podcast, the most valuable lesson didn’t come from those interactions. […]
The greatest legal immigration wave in America’s history started 60 years ago, when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the 1965 immigration law on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. “This bill that we will sign today is not a revolutionary bill. It does not affect the lives of millions. It will not reshape the structure […]
President Joe Biden used it to help illegal immigrants enter the country. President Donald Trump is using it to help them leave. The contrast between how the two presidents are using the U.S. Customs and Border Protection mobile app couldn’t be starker — and it is exactly what the people voted for. In addition to […]
