“It is not enough in life that one succeed,” the droll economist John Kenneth Galbraith is supposed to have said. “Others must fail.” We’re at a moment, in this week before Donald Trump’s second inauguration, when the 45th and soon-to-be 47th president is succeeding at just about every enterprise he undertakes while his political and […]

America stands at a critical crossroads. After years of crippling inflation, stagnant wages, and an economy weighed down by failed economic policies, families across the nation are struggling to make ends meet. Inflation has affected everyone, driving prices for everyday essentials such as gas, groceries, rent, and mortgages to historic highs, eliminating the American dream […]

On U.S. Navy vessels, the call to emergency action stations is “General Quarters.” China‘s public display of the world’s first sixth-generation fighter jet is a call to general quarters, to action stations, for the whole of our society. The display on Dec. 26 near Chengdu, in central China, was of an aircraft matching sixth-generation airframe […]

“Long live China, n*gga. Long live Xi Jinping, n*gga!” This is how one influencer responded to the looming TikTok ban in a viral video with more than 8 million views. While perhaps unique in its eloquence, this reaction was sadly par for the course for how many members of Generation Z and TikTok users are […]

When it comes to healthcare policy, the incoming Trump administration has a unique opportunity to inject market forces, consumer choice, and smart policies to give Americans better alternatives when seeking help. Government bureaucrats usually make decisions that are in the interest of government bureaucrats rather than the interest of end users of healthcare. On the […]

Forget climate change. The devastating fires in California should spark an honest debate about policy change. Rather than prepare for the state’s extreme (but unfortunately predictable) weather variations, elected officials in the Golden State have chosen to ignore tried and true fire-prevention policies. The results are now painfully apparent as at least 24 people have […]

For nearly eight years, liberal politicians, journalists, and commentators have awoken in a cold sweat every morning. Like Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, leftists feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if something terrible has happened, at the mere reminder that President-elect Donald Trump exists. Of course, the 45th and soon-to-be 47th president never destroyed […]

With President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, we are on the brink of a new era of American exceptionalism. More than just a political catchphrase, the ideals of American exceptionalism are the underpinning of what makes America unique. American exceptionalism is the bedrock of America’s founding principles. Adherence to natural law, the primacy […]

It is a big week for Senate confirmation hearings. On Wednesday, Chris Wright, the CEO of Liberty Energy and nominee for secretary of the Energy Department, will get his turn in front of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Unfortunately, if the hyperventilating statements from many environmental groups are any indication, it is likely […]

Throughout the 2024 campaign, a number of critical issues were debated — from rising inflation to illegal immigration, healthcare access to national security, and everything in between. But there was perhaps no more pressing issue discussed than our skyrocketing national debt. President-elect Donald Trump’s commitment to addressing that issue, coupled with the Biden administration’s runaway […]

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) made the rebuilding of neighborhoods destroyed by the Los Angeles wildfires significantly easier this weekend by signing an executive order suspending enforcement of the California Environmental Quality Act and the California Coastal Act for counties affected by the fire. By doing so, he also effectively admitted that these laws are a […]
