In the wake of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s meeting with his Russian counterparts in Saudi Arabia Tuesday, defenders of freedom worldwide can be forgiven for thinking they had seen this horror story before. After all, an expansionist European power pressed its claim to the territory of another sovereign nation in part based on the […]

I’m outraged! I only now learned that in just four years the United States provided $175 billion in foreign aid to 16 European nations, including France, Italy and the UK! It’s shocking, but it’s true! A long time ago, there was this thing called World War II. It started about a year after a popular […]

As the New York Times detailed, Elon Musk and his DOGE non-agency are now routinely accessing vital government computer systems at the Treasury Department, the GSA, the IRS and other federal bureaus. President Trump’s “special government employee” has deployed engineers as young as 19 to peruse and mine sensitive government systems previously off limits to […]

This is one of the darkest and most shameful days in modern American history. By unilaterally imposing 25% tariffs against Canada and Mexico in violation of a trade agreement he himself signed in 2018, President Trump has betrayed our closest friends, allies and trading partners. Instead of working hand-in-hand with our North American neighbors to […]

On the same day that all 11 GOP members of the Senate Budget Committee voted to advance the nomination of Trump OMB pick Russ Vought, some of their Republican colleagues rang the alarm bell about the impact of the President’s wide-ranging federal spending freeze. As one anonymous GOP Senator told The Hill, “Republicans were starting […]

Donald Trump’s clear victory in yesterday’s presidential election certainly seemed to prove the old maxim that perception is reality. Exit polls of 10 battleground states showed that 68% of those surveyed said the economy was “not so good” (35%) or “poor” (33%). Of the third (32%) who identified the economy as the issue that mattered […]

A fixture at Donald Trump’s final campaign rallies features the Republican nominee asking, “Are you better off now than four years ago?” Even with the steep pandemic and war induced-inflation of 2022 and early 2023, the data clearly show the answer is “yes.” Over the last two weeks, even the conservative Wall Street Journal (“U.S. […]

Long before his shockingly disrespectful and clearly illegal campaign video stop at Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery, Donald Trump had already established himself as America’s Desecrator-in-Chief. For over 30 years, Trump has ridiculed military service, mocked the U.S. armed forces’ living and the dead, and sneered at the wounded and the captured. And when […]

I see that some of my friends on social media seem to be echoing the white guy who told black journalists that his black opponent isn’t black. I suggest they (and everyone else for that matter) read this profile of Kamala Harris from five years ago. Harris didn’t merely answer reporters’ questions about her family […]

As Texas Governor Greg Abbott doubles down on the Lone Star State’s refusal to follow federal immigration law and the ruling of the Supreme Court regarding the border with Mexico, it is worth recalling the words of the President of the United States: The power to annul a law of the United States, assumed by […]
