When Republicans have strong majorities in a state legislature, our national media often find their actions nationally controversial on issues like guns or transgender advocacy or DEI. When Democrats are dominant, the national media are fine with it. That's just comforting business as usual.

It's hard to get a more perfect metaphor for our times than a leftist braying on his bullhorn at a protest about how welcoming New York City is, then having a jihadist throw a bomb directly over his back.

That's what happened to progressive influencer Walter Masterson last weekend when he was telling far-right provocateur Jake Lang a thing or...Read more

It's still happening. In the ...Read more

History doesn't always repeat itself, or even rhyme. People sometimes learn from experience, their own or others'.

Example: Woodrow Wilson, a stubborn Southerner, refused to involve any Republicans, all Northerners in those days, in treaty negotiations after World War I. His treaty version, which would require the United States to go to war on ...Read more

Over the past weekend, some apologists for President Donald Trump's recently ordered attacks on Iran argued that because Trump's plans call for a quick strike, the attacks do not constitute a war. George Orwell is vindicated yet again.

These are no longer theoretical debates confined to policy forums. The conflict is widening. American servicemen have now been lost. Regional nations are absorbing casualties.

America's health care system consistently ranks as the most expensive in the developed world. It's not, as some politicians claim, expensive because markets have failed. It's expensive because the market has been repeatedly blocked from succeeding. Until we're honest about that, any potential reforms will only address symptoms while ignoring ...Read more

The U.S. Senate's resolution aiming to handcuff President Donald Trump, barring him from taking additional military action against Iran, should be soundly rejected: It's an unconstitutional violation of Article II, which makes the president commander in chief of the nation's armed forces.

Every president since 1950 has launched military ...Read more
