President Donald Trump, members of his administration, and Republican members of Congress talk a lot about reducing the federal deficit. Unfortunately, their words are empty of substance. What matters to the long-term fiscal and economic health of the nation is enacting legislation to reduce the deficit. But the Republican Party’s major legislative effort, a giant reconciliation bill, […]
In the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, adopting tactics of the minority will never yield substantive wins for the majority. Caving to that temptation will backfire and undercut our ability to govern and legislate, circumventing President Donald Trump‘s agenda and the mandate given to this majority entirely — a result that should never occur. Discharge petitions, […]
Not since 2023’s Barbie have conservatives found a film they so love to hate. Snow White’s press tour was doomed from the start, with lead actress Rachel Zegler first bashing the source material and then proudly endorsing various progressive shibboleths. If all press really were good press, the film probably wouldn’t have had such a […]
California Democrats are once again proving they do not plan much of anything carefully, which shows exactly the kind of short-sighted thinking that has run the state into the ground. As of last year, California had the highest gas tax in the country. The state has jacked up the gas tax in recent years, using […]
If you like underdogs, you will not like the NIL (short for name, image, and likeness) era of college athletics. Since expanding to a field of 64 in 1975, at least one school from a mid-major conference has made the NCAA Tournament’s second weekend of play, more commonly known as the Sweet 16, every year. […]
Nothing has gone to plan for the Democratic Party since the 2024 election votes were counted — except one thing. Lacking a governing vision and desperate for a new villain — the old one had proven unbeatable — Democrats found one in Elon Musk, and they’ve managed to bring him down a notch. Musk’s dual […]
The group chat that broke Washington has sparked a weeklong war of words between President Donald Trump’s top staff and Jeffrey Goldberg, the liberal editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. He reported in a March 24 blockbuster story that he had been erroneously added to a Signal group chat of top national security officials. Yet, neither side […]
Americans are wealthier than ever before by some measures, but there’s evidence that we’re all walking close to the edge, thanks to the post-COVID-19 Biden-Era inflation. While off its record highs, the stock market is still far higher than in the recent past. In late March, the S&P 500 was 20% higher than its late […]
When I gave birth to my first baby over a decade ago, I had many options for baby products to put her down in. Baby bouncers, baby pillows, baby rockers — all manner of vessels that could contain her little body so I could do things like go to the bathroom, cook dinner, or simply […]
