Let California Collapse -- and Let the Rest of America Learn
California has long prided itself on being a symbol of progressive governance, a supposed beacon of tolerance, opportunity and inclusivity. But behind the glittering curtain of Hollywood dreams and Silicon Valley innovation lies a troubling reality -- a self-inflicted crisis stemming from policies that defy economic logic and common sense. As ...Read more
Harvard Is the Enemy
During his 2024 campaign, President Donald Trump correctly assailed elite universities like Harvard as controlled by "Marxist maniacs and lunatics." He received a popular mandate to take them down. They deserve it.
The bill of indictment against Harvard is long. It is teaching students to hate America, to become modern-day Benedict Arnolds. ...Read more
Seismic Shifts in American Health Policy Have RFK's Fingerprints All Over Them
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
Politics Can't Strip Us of Our Humanity
News broke recently that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of metastatic prostate cancer. The disease, which has now spread to his bones, is life-threatening and deeply serious.
Let me say this clearly: Whether you love him or hate him, whether you voted for him or not -- this kind of news should stop us ...Read more
AI Was Born of Man and May Bury Him
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
The Real Cost of Student Loan Forgiveness
Each spring, as tassels are turned and degrees are conferred, college graduates across the country celebrate the culmination of years of study, sacrifice and -- inevitably for many -- debt. Against this backdrop, the idea of student loan forgiveness is touted by many as a compassionate and progressive policy, a generous gift to the newest ...Read more
The Right to Privacy Under Siege
The right to privacy -- the right to be let alone -- is the most cherished right among civilized peoples. It was the right that gave birth to the American Revolution in opposition to British writs of assistance authoring petty officials to rummage through homes in search of contraband goods. Anonymous speech is scrupulously protected by the ...Read more
It May Seem That Our Republic Is on Its Deathbed. Have We Been Here Before?
Even in its earliest days, discord was part and parcel of American life. During the American Revolution, families were often divided between Patriots -- pushing for American independence from Great Britain -- and Loyalists. But there was only one Benedict Arnold. No Loyalists fought alongside the British at Lexington and Concord.
President ...Read more
An Ornamental Congress
Is Congress fulfilling its constitutional duty? I fear not. And so the well-being of our republic is at risk.
The Constitution is clear: Congress is the preeminent branch of the federal government. The powers of the legislative branch are listed in Article One of the Constitution, while the powers of the president and the executive branch are...Read more
Cut the Bureaucracy, Save Social Security
Millions of Americans know the frustration of dealing with the Social Security Administration -- endless hold music on the phone, months of waiting for a simple benefit decision, and confusing paperwork. Even before the latest reforms, the SSA's customer service -- in an agency delivering checks to 70 million Americans -- was a mess. The ...Read more
While Nazi Profiteers Get a Free Pass, the Left Burns Teslas
Civil disobedience practiced by the likes of Henry David Thoreau and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one thing. Crimes against people or property for political ends are quite another. The latter risks return to the law of the jungle, a cure worse than the disease.
That provides the framework to assess the proliferation of criminal attacks on ...Read more
Who Profits When Cities Burn? ActBlue, That's Who.
What would you call an organization that collects money from the public and distributes it to organizations that fund riots that result in billions of dollars in damages, that transfer the money to bail out criminals who ultimately kill and victimize innocent Americans, that support terrorist organizations and that pay for people that engage ...Read more
Becoming Persona Non Grata
The United States offers foreign nationals numerous uncomplicated pathways for lawful entry and extended residency. While these foreigners reside in the United States, they receive all of its benefits, ones which are typically unavailable or denied in their home countries: fundamental rights such as free speech, local benefits like a police ...Read more
