Now that Texas and South Carolina have passed school choice bills, parents will be able to choose the best school for their kids in 17 states.

Why not all states?

After all, competition improves services.

The Post Office couldn't get it there overnight. Then FedEx showed it can be done. Quickly, UPS and DHL did it, too, and now even ...Read more

On Jan. 2, 2024, House Speaker Mike Johnson posted a warning on X.

"The national debt is the greatest threat to America's national security, and the current addiction to reckless spending cannot be sustained," he said. "Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have a responsibility to reduce spending and finally put America on a path towards ...Read more

You can always tell when a leftist media outlet doesn't like a story angle. They'll cry "no evidence," and you want to ask them if they actually spent any time searching for evidence. It's their way of suggesting the story is too disreputable to pursue, like Hunter Biden's laptop.

On the "PBS News Hour" on May 19, the term was "unfounded." ...Read more

McKEESPORT, Pennsylvania -- Take the left off of Nessley Avenue after climbing the switchback up from this city's once-thriving downtown business district. For the next three blocks, you'll find yourself on the brick-paved portion of Jefferson Street.

Despite the impact weather has had on the bricks, giving them a wavy appearance, it adds a ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- I've often railed at Democrats' failure to revamp federal immigration law during the two years President Joe Biden enjoyed a Democratic Senate and House. When they had the chance, they squandered it. Now it's the Republicans' turn at bad one-party rule.

President Donald Trump and the GOP Senate and House have a chance to check ...Read more

Here's an economics lesson that belongs in the textbooks.

Student loan debt soared to more than $1.5 trillion during the Biden presidency, and the response by Washington was to "forgive" hundreds of billions of these unpaid loans by deadbeat borrowers and let the taxpayers pick up the tab. It was never clear why the universities that charge ...Read more

Rooting out discriminatory Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs should be a top Republican priority. But it's not for Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo.

Last month, the Department of Education asked states and school districts to certify that they don't discriminate based on race. It specifically highlighted DEI programs that favor one race over ...Read more

It was never going to be easy for President Trump to bring an end to the Ukraine war, but it's even harder when he's operating under an erroneous theory of the conflict.

The man who instigated the war and who is the chief obstacle to peace is Vladimir Putin. Yet, this enemy of the West, murderer of dissidents and serial perpetrator of wars of...Read more

It was just a couple weeks ago that Democrats thought they had Trump on the ropes. The tariffs were supposedly a disaster, the stock market was crashing, the media was predicting a recession, and Trump's polls were supposedly cratering.

I've said this on my TV and radio shows for a decade now ...

"NEVER BET AGAINST TRUMP!"

The man is ...Read more

On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in the case of Trump v. CASA, Inc. Though the case arises out of President Donald Trump's January executive order on birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment, Thursday's oral argument had very little to do with the hotly contested substantive issue of whether the children of illegal ...Read more

"We got so screwed by Biden, as a party," former Obama adviser David Plouffe is quoted saying in a New Yorker excerpt from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's new book, "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again."

The supposition of the piece, headlined "How Joe Biden Handed the Presidency to ...Read more

CNN's Kasie Hunt interviewed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer the other day. She confronted him about allegations of a meeting with former President Joe Biden that should have raised alarms about Biden's fitness for office. "We're moving forward," Schumer replied. He would not answer the question.

Chuck Todd, speaking afterwards on CNN, ...Read more

Mississippi leads the nation. That's not a typographical error. And it's not just a gotcha phrase, preparing the reader for learning that Mississippi leads the nation on all sorts of negative things.

Once upon a time, that was true, and in some respects it still is. Mississippi has the lowest or nearly the lowest income levels of any state.

It...Read more

The first excerpts of the Jake Tapper-Alex Thompson book on denying former President Joe Biden's obvious mental decline have been posted, and you can already sense Democrats don't want to deal with what they have done.

The book's title is "Original Sin." Why the biblical title? The authors write: "The original sin of Election 2024 was Biden's ...Read more

President Donald Trump gave an important speech in Riyadh that may come as close to outlining a "Trump doctrine" as we'll probably see. It was a direct counterpoint to George W. Bush's second inaugural address. The simplistic way to put it is that what liberty was for Bush, money is to Donald Trump.

That's not quite right, though. The speech ...Read more

What if the writ of habeas corpus has been guaranteed to the British since 1215 and to Americans since 1789? What if this encompasses the right of every person who is confined by the government against his or her will to compel the jailer to justify the confinement before a neutral judge?

What if this right is personal and individual and ...Read more

Artificial intelligence has been around for longer than most of us realize. In 1950, Alan Turing proposed the famous "Turing test" in a paper, opening with the sentence "I propose to consider the question, 'Can machines think?'" His test, which he called the "imitation game," was a very simple one. There are three participants: a human judge, ...Read more

If you voted for Donald Trump last November because you believed he'd increase economic freedom, it's safe to say you were fooled. Following a reckless tariff barrage, the White House and its allies are preparing a new wave of tax-code gimmickry that has more in common with progressive social engineering than pro-growth reform. And don't ...Read more
