In the run-up to Michigan’s hotly contested Democratic Senate primary last week, a slew of headlines declared the showdown a “fight for the party’s soul.”
THE NEXT SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. On Tuesday, voters in South Carolina will choose a Republican nominee for the Senate to replace Sen. Lindsey Graham, who died of heart problems on July 11. There’s a good chance the race will go to a runoff, which will happen on Aug. 25. There are several declared candidates, but three […]
WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert announced in a Friday message to teams that a league task force will discuss the topic of transgender athletes next week.

Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley (R) on Saturday eulogized a beloved vacuum cleaner, affectionately named Beth after a former Senate staffer.

POLLS? TRUMP IS IN A BETTER PLACE THAN DEMOCRATS, WHO ARE FIGHTING EACH OTHER OVER HOW TO FIGHT HIM. There are a lot of questions these days about poll numbers, both President Donald Trump’s and those of his Democratic opponents. First, job approval. The president’s rating has tipped slightly underwater, by 0.4%, in the RealClearPolitics average […]
Pushback to President Donald Trump’s immigration and deportation orders never fails to entertain. Current Tren de Aragua sympathy is one such example. After Trump declared last week that Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan crime organization, would be classified as a terrorist organization and carried out several alleged members’ deportations to El Salvador, a U.S. […]
United States Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo last week. Bartiromo asked Bondi if the American people could expect any more information on the files relating to Jeffery Epstein and January 6, as well as the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Bondi once again promised […]
Is this rock bottom yet? The political world gasped at the dismal Democratic Party approval numbers released yesterday in new polls from NBC News and CNN. The former poll showed that only 27% of Americans held a positive view of the party, with only 7% holding a “very positive” view. Both are record lows for […]
School shutdowns during COVID-19 were antiscience and set students back academically and socially for no real health benefits. If push comes to shove, teachers unions would happily shut down schools again. The two largest teachers unions in the country have both defended their antiscience school shutdowns and said that they would shutter schools again in […]
The arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student and anti-Israel activist, tests President Donald Trump’s new policy to deport foreign nationals backing terrorist groups. The first case of its kind, it has ignited media frenzy and protests. How it unfolds could significantly influence the political climate during the initial phase of Trump’s second term. […]
It is past time to admit that the Education Department has produced a terrible return on America’s investment. Since its creation in 1980, test scores have dropped, with math and reading scores falling to their lowest levels in decades under former President Joe Biden. Civics knowledge is abysmal, as evidenced by middle school U.S. history […]
In February, the School District of Philadelphia announced it would defy President Donald Trump’s executive order prohibiting biological males who pretend to be females from participating in athletic competitions against other females. This was an egregious act of defiance from the leadership of one of the worst-rated school districts in the country. Much like the […]
Recovering drug addicts trust Rudy Carey when he talks about change. He has experience that gives him credibility. But after four years as a substance abuse counselor in northern Virginia, his employer called him to the office and told him he could no longer work there. “I felt like my life was just sucked out […]
Of all the things the federal government does that it shouldn’t, education policy is near the top of the list. Education is, and always has been, a state and local responsibility. Yet for decades, Washington, D.C., has taken an outsize role in telling states how to educate their children — often with disappointing results. If […]
For over eight years, until just two weeks ago, I proudly opened my radio and TV broadcasts with the words: “This is Voice of America from Washington.” People often made sarcastic remarks, accusing me of producing “U.S. propaganda,” both in America and abroad. But I, an adamant believer that America is a force for good […]
We are in a time when what would have seemed to be unimaginable domestic policy changes — from the abolition of the Department of Education to cutoffs of federal support for universities — are on the table. The Department of Housing and Urban Development is involved in this creative destruction — having pulled back a […]
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced more than two dozen regulatory actions last week, almost all of which can help progress President Donald Trump’s promised “Golden Age of America.” But one of the actions will almost assuredly fail in court. We hope the EPA is not basing any other regulatory steps on this lost […]
