FBI Director Kash Patel is set to tell senators the FBI delivered historic crime reductions, disrupted terrorist plots, captured top fugitives and overhauled the bureau under his leadership.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia has become the face of President Donald Trump’s immigration policy, but the objections Democrats and their media allies have raised about his deportation to El Salvador stretch far beyond his case and reveal their goal of undermining Trump’s ability to deport anyone. As The Washington Post’s Jason Willick correctly notes, the Democrats […]
If you listen to New York Times columnist Ezra Klein describe his new book Abundance, it would seem the entire thesis is that at some point, Democrat-run cities stopped building houses, and if that were reversed, it would solve the party’s problems. There’s plenty of truth to the idea that Democrats have made it nearly […]
People often pit business and family tax cuts against each other, particularly in the context of the upcoming tax package. Yet, as the president of an organization that unites, equips, and represents Christian-owned businesses, I know that to be a false choice. Recently, a group of conservative leaders, including former Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Sen. […]
The Indiana Senate passed a bill to create the Indiana-Illinois Boundary Adjustment Commission earlier this week, sending it to Gov. Mike Braun (R-IN) to be signed into law as soon as the state House approves any changes to the bill. The commission will look into adding 33 counties in Illinois that passed a referendum in […]
Five years ago, the truth was almost unpublishable. You couldn’t touch it with a 10-foot pole. If you tried to, you were an outcast, a kook, maybe even a racist. But it was nevertheless the truth: COVID-19 likely came from a lab leak in Wuhan, and that lab was funded by the United States government. […]
Countries do not slide into war. They collapse into it suddenly, unexpectedly, and incredulously. “I had grown up in the optimistic belief that major wars were a thing of the past,” the philosopher Bertrand Russell recalled of the 1914 catastrophe. “When I heard the news of the war, I felt as if a curtain had […]
Whether you like it or not, President Donald Trump is a political wrecking ball. Depending on your perspective, that’s either a refreshing change from the polished cowardice of most politicians or a growing concern as the wrecking ball swings dangerously close to the foundational principles of our republic. Trump isn’t just smashing the usual corrupt […]
How much should the government regulate child care? How much should the government subsidize child care? The public’s views on these questions cover a massive range. The District of Columbia government requires that all child care workers have four-year degrees. Idaho, meanwhile, is moving aggressively to deregulate child care. Forces within the Biden administration argued […]
It’s rare that Saturday Night Live will join conservatives to critique liberal cultural excesses. When the show does, it’s rather telling. In a recent sketch, three couples, two heterosexual couples and one gay couple, are socializing. The gay couple has a new baby. The other couples, shocked at the news, began to ask questions about the […]
The Trump administration is right to push European allies to urgently spend significantly more on defense. It should also be noted that tentative but significant moves by European powers to increase defense spending would not have occurred had Trump not retaken office. President Donald Trump’s Defense Department team further deserves praise for refocusing U.S. military […]
President Donald Trump and I recognize that U.S. maritime power is now more important than ever. Novel seaways are opening new trade routes in the Arctic, and new canals are connecting distant places. Innovation in waterway technology is unlocking new development opportunities and potential conflicts. That’s why the president signed an executive order Wednesday to revive […]
China’s decision to suspend exports of rare earth minerals highlights a significant national security vulnerability that cannot be addressed by executive power alone. Three decades ago, the United States dominated the global rare earth minerals market. However, it frittered away this power because the government bowed to a combination of globalist naivete and environmental absolutism. […]
