Before July 13, almost nobody had heard of Darline Graham Nordone, but now she is a U.S. senator. How did she get the job? By being the sister of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who held the seat until his death on July 11. This reeks of nepotism. Critics say it looks like a hereditary monarchy, […]
Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) again acquiesced to her socialist overlords this week when she issued the nation’s first statewide moratorium on data center construction. Hochul was immediately thanked by socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who is pushing her own national data center ban in Congress. Hochul’s infrastructure-development moratorium comes just weeks after she agreed to […]
Scott Brady announced that the federal government had cut off funding to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), whose mismanagement has been legendary,...
The following is an installment of “On This Day,” a series celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by following the actions of Gen. George Washington, the Continental Congress, and the men and women whose bravery and sacrifice led up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. June 11, 1776 Second Continental Congress President John Hancock writes […]
As we approach the 2026 NATO Summit, the alliance’s eastward shift in its center of gravity continues to gain momentum. Last week, reports emerged that the United States is now in the early stages of internal conversations within NATO to expand nuclear sharing arrangements to include countries that joined the alliance within the past 30 […]
As the Senate Judiciary Committee calls the CEOs of some of the industry’s largest platforms to testify, the question is not whether the internet can be safe for children. It is whether tech companies, policymakers, and child safety advocates are moving fast enough to ensure that it is. Almost all American teenagers are online daily, […]
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is failing patients with life-threatening rare diseases. As a biochemist and public health expert, I have witnessed officials turning a blind eye to the needs, concerns, and voices of families caring for the nearly 30 million Americans — half of them children — with debilitating and terminal rare conditions. […]
My father served 26 years in the U.S. Air Force. After he retired as a master sergeant, he spent years trying to get the disability benefits he had earned. He died before he could. I have carried that with me ever since, and I have spent years working to make sure other veterans do not […]
Advocates of school choice pay scant attention to gifted education, accelerated learning, and other forms of advanced education — those services that provide students with opportunities to go beyond the normal, grade-level curriculum. These advanced services are both research-supported and common sense: If a student is capable of “doing more” in school, they should have […]
A nation cannot simultaneously tolerate mass unlawful entry for years and then pretend it has the infrastructure to reverse it overnight. As angry protests target Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities and political inaction continues in Washington, millions of people inside our borders face a compounding crisis of legal uncertainty. ICE personnel are caught in the […]
Undefined. Noncommittal. Nonjudgmental. A situationship is the blurry middle ground between friendship and a romantic relationship. There are no labels, and both parties are technically allowed to see other people. A situationship is appealing because it appears to offer all the benefits of a relationship with none of the responsibility. You can have sex or […]
The specter of data centers is looming ominously over America, posing a triple threat to its electric power-generating capacity, limited water resources, and environment. Or so a chorus of self-styled progressives and populists is claiming. This brewing negative sentiment is reflected in a recent Gallup poll, in which 71% of respondents indicated they opposed the […]
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the public should be preparing to celebrate the durability of our democracy. Instead, many are wondering whether it will hold another 5, 25, or 250 years. It’s a fair question. Our democracy was built on the need for collective trust in institutions, and trust is plummeting. Last […]
In late May, the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure voted 62-2 to advance the BUILD America 250 Act, a five-year surface transportation reauthorization bill that includes $580 billion in federal infrastructure investment. The bill moved out of committee with the kind of bipartisan support that has become rare in Washington. For the autonomous vehicle […]
