Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday called for Democratic leaders to ban the involvement of super PACs in Democratic primary elections. Sanders's ask was part of a letter written to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin. The Vermont senator's call for a...
If the game is insincerity, Democrats are doing just fine. As it is, the party is aiming for connection and missing. Fundamental misunderstandings animate all of the Democratic Party’s “problem” areas, such as men and religion. And its reaction to the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s administration has not done it any favors. […]
Whether in the Oval Office conducting foreign policy or at Trump Tower overseeing his real estate empire, President Donald Trump prizes the “art of the deal” as the way to get things done. But while international attention is focused on Trump’s effort to secure peace between Russia and Ukraine, Trump has his eye on another […]
Senate Democrats betrayed women and girls, including their own constituents, on Monday. Despite overwhelming public support for female-only sports and locker rooms, including among registered Democrats, not a single Democrat voted for the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. This eminently sensible and straightforward piece of legislation would have defined the word “sex” accurately […]
For the 31st year in a row, the Heritage Foundation has published the Index of Economic Freedom, otherwise known as the “capitalism ranking.” Contrary to the assertions of anti-capitalists, this study on the state of economic freedom in 184 countries proves that more economic freedom, not more state regulation or development aid, is the only […]
This year’s Academy Award for best documentary feature film went to No Other Land, in which a team of Israeli and Palestinian documentarians present a heart-tugging but alarmingly one-sided view of Palestinian villagers’ struggle against Israeli law. At every turn, No Other Land provides an anti-Israel view of self-described activists’ efforts to maintain their homes in Masafer Yatta, a […]
Congressional Democrats continued to show the country they remain out of touch with reality on Tuesday as multiple members of the political party donned pink attire while attending the joint address by President Donald Trump. The color and outfit selection were chosen to protest…well, no one really quite knows. It’s the latest circus act for […]
President Donald Trump gave the first State of the Union-style address of his second presidential term on Tuesday night, and the objective was clear: Remind the people why they voted for him on Nov. 5. Overall, he succeeded. Setting aside my usual grievances with these acts of political theater — including the breathless partisanship, endless […]
President Donald Trump has only been in office for a month, yet he’s already decisively fulfilled many of his campaign promises. Two of his top priorities, signing executive orders that tear down the citadels of radical gender ideology and critical race theory implanted within the federal government, have been met with screaming opposition from the […]
As the United States and Russia begin negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, I can’t shake off an episode that, in retrospect, was the first step down the slippery slope leading to war. In the summer of 1992, I took my friend, Dmitro Markov, then press counselor at the Ukraine Embassy in Washington, D.C., […]
