All attempts by the government to evaluate the content of speech and deter or punish what the government and its benefactors hate or fear is un-American, unconstitutional and unlawful; and if not stopped, will reduce the American people to serfdom.

During the past three months, the Trump administration has sought to withhold the delivery of ...Read more

To understand where our nation's health policy currently stands, and where it is headed, one event enlightens our thinking: Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent speech before the World Health Assembly, in which he outlined in stark detail the specific reasons why the United States has left the World Health ...Read more

The movie "The Big Short" -- dramatizing the reckless behavior in the banking and mortgage industries that contributed to the 2008 financial crisis -- captures much of Wall Street's misconduct but overlooks a central player in the collapse: the federal government, specifically through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

These two government-created ...Read more

Left-wing mayoral candidates and a newly launched "housing justice" group are promising a multiyear rent freeze on the city's nearly 1 million rent-regulated units. That's more than half the rental apartments in Gotham. It's a cynical political strategy: Pander to a block of single-issue voters almost too large to resist -- and capture the ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- The status quo came tumbling down at Harvard after Hamas massacred 1,200 innocents on Oct. 7, 2023. As much of the world was revolted at the gratuitous slaughter, the swells at Harvard were working on a suitable statement. They deleted the word "violent" to describe the attack.

President Donald Trump will never forget how ...Read more

The House passed the One Big Beautiful Bill by a margin of one vote.

Well-deserved kudos have been conveyed to the masterful leadership of Speaker Mike Johnson, who navigated through a minefield to get done what needed to get done.

Now it's up to the Senate.

It's impossible not to think now of the admonition to not let the "perfect be the ...Read more

What does Russian dictator Vladimir Putin value?

My question's immediate frame of reference: Donald Trump says Ukraine war-waging, ceasefire-dawdling Putin is insane. Moreover, if Putin evades sincere peace negotiations, the Kremlin leader confronts "really bad things" and, ultimately, is "playing with fire."

"Really bad things" is a ...Read more

Bizarrely, 62% of young Americans hold a "favorable view" of socialism.

How can they be so ignorant?

Socialism has been tried by lots of countries. It's failed. It always fails.

China prospered somewhat only after they legalized some private enterprise.

Perhaps today's kids are ignorant because they're too young to remember the fall of the...Read more

The House of Representatives completed an overnight session on May 22 with a vote on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. It passed by one very small margin -- 215 to 214.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer immediately condemned it -- and expressed anger that it would restrict federal funding of abortion.

"A few hours ago, while most Americans ...Read more

MSNBC host and PBS pundit Jonathan Capehart has a new memoir out. It's titled "Yet Here I Am: Lessons from a Black Man's Search for Home." It sounds like the first lesson is this: a "Black Man" gets to dictate history, and no one is allowed to offer a "reality check" or else they're "robbing his humanity."

Capehart is still a Washington Post ...Read more

Republicans need to explain the Medicaid reforms in President Donald Trump's big, beautiful bill, not run away from them.

WEST MIFFLIN, Pennsylvania -- Local steelworkers, community leaders and economic experts said President Donald Trump's announcement Friday that a deal was struck between U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel will go down in American history as the most enduring economic "big, beautiful deal" the 47th president has made.

It is a deal robustly supported ...Read more

There are only a few possible explanations for the announcement we heard days ago about Joe Biden having aggressive Stage 4 prostate cancer.

All of them are bad.

First, let me say how sad, tragic and devastating it is to hear anyone has cancer. No one understands that better than me -- my wonderful parents David and Stella Root died 28 days ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Almost everything the Democrats and big media told the country about the vaunted character of former President Joe Biden is collapsing.

Biden framed his run for the White House in 2020 as "a fight for the soul of the nation." A smitten chattering class was all on board.

In October 2020, New York Times columnist David Brooks ...Read more

Actions, we know, have consequences. And a committed Marxist's cold-blooded murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C. Wednesday night was the natural and inevitable consequence of a conscientious, yearslong campaign to dehumanize Jews and otherize all supporters of the world's only Jewish state.

Seriously, what did you think ...Read more

Now we know what "globalize the intifada" means.

After a pro-Palestinian Marxist was arrested after shooting and killing Yaron Lischinsky, a German-born evangelical Christian, and his American girlfriend, Sarah Milgrim, in front of the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., he chanted, "Free, free Palestine."

The murderer, who reportedly ...Read more
