We Don't Work for the IRS, and Never Have
It's time for Americans to let their congressman and senators know, in no uncertain terms, they won't be pushed around - by those who supposedly work for us, and that we definitely don't work for them, and never have.
For Iran Talks, Warnings' Silence Not Golden
Even a single nuclear weapon detonated at high altitude over the U.S. would produce an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that could shut down much if not all of our vitally important critical infrastructure.
Secretary General Must Be Visionary, Further UN's Legitimacy
In an era of geopolitical rivalry, the UN's credibility hinges on a leader who is not captured by any bloc or power, who demonstrates transparency, and who embodies the moral courage to speak truth even when it's inconvenient.
Let's Pray the Pope and President Find, Share a Common Interest
There will no doubt be occasions where the pope and the president will continue to make public their disagreements. But there are so many other issues, such as religious liberty, where the two share a common interest. Let's pray the latter prove to be controlling.
2027 Fiscal Budget Unsustainable, Burdens Private Sector
Year after year, presidents of both parties submit budgets that avoid necessary tradeoffs. Year after year, Congress fails to impose discipline. And year after year, the debt trajectory worsens, imposing a growing burden on the vibrancy of the private sector.

The Iranian economy is experiencing continuing and growing damage by internet outage. Iran is not North Korea where a complete digital sequestration is possible. The Iranian economy's freefall will accelerate. And the regime knows it.
Artemis II Mission Offers Inspiring Unity for a Deeply Divided Nation

To Those Seeking Electoral Wins: Your Ideas Must Resonate
The economist speaks of marginal rates, incentive structures, and capital flight. His opponent speaks of fairness. The crowd applauds the latter. The public is human. Humans are not fond of being told their moral instincts may be economically ruinous.
Any Plan to Stabilize Social Security Will Be Painful
Doing nothing is not an option. There will be pain involved in any plan to stabilize Social Security. The question is how much pain, and who will bear the brunt of it? Unfortunately, there will also be pain if we do nothing, undoubtedly much more pain.
We Should Listen to Finland on Gender Reassignment 'Care'
Back in the day if kids claimed to be something they weren't, it was "acting out" or "a phase." Those phases ended. But cutting off body parts is permanent, and robbing a child of his natural growth cycle by pumping him full of puberty blockers is just as permanent
Trump Can't Rely on States to Fix Budget Woes
The states which Republicans carried in 2024 are less industrialized and have less taxable property and incomes than the states carried by Democrats. These states would therefore find it difficult or impossible to increase their tax rates enough to pay for Medicare and Medicaid.

For Standing Up to Terror, World Owes Trump a Great Debt
By standing up, Trump has, in effect, told a timid world, "Bring it on and make my day!" More than any strategic advantage that will come from calling Iran's bluff, is the tactical fact that it can no longer threaten global economic suicide.

81 years after Vice President Truman's 1945 Passover speech, President Trump and Netanyahu have been relentlessly demonstrating they are worthy successors to President Truman and Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion.
Dershowitz: If Iran Closes Hormuz to Some Ships, U.S. Should to All
It would be lawful for the United States to respond to Iran's illegality by closing the straits to all and conditioning its reopening on Iran's agreement not to pick and choose who can use this waterway. A partial blockade of Hormuz can be responded to by a total blockade.
America First Rooted in Our Founding Documents

Democrats a Cruel Party, Endangers U.S.
Today's sick, evil Democrat Party deliberately steers citizens into, not out of, harm's way. It has become a clear and present danger to the United States of America.
We Deserve Better Than Current Federal Drug Pricing Program
The 340B Drug Pricing Program was established to provide healthcare assistance to low-income and rural communities. There are no requirements that providers report how the revenue generated through these discounts is used or whether patients receive a benefit.
Just Warriors Aren't Against God, They Deliver His Justice

Democrats are Hellbent on Winning '26, Hopefully GOP Is
As the divergent examples of Indiana and Virginia show, it's the Democrats who are more hellbent on winning, even if they have to turn state constitutions into confetti to do it. Politics is a test of wills-and if Republicans fail this one, they'll almost certainly fail in November, too.

America's Exit Strategy Is Already Inside Iran
"Killing the snake by cutting off its head" is wrong. If the Middle-Eastern mindset had been applied, the analogy would have involved a mother spider. The result of crushing a mother spider is that baby spiders riding on her back take off. This is what has happened with Iran.
Tattoos are Not Art, Practitioners are Not Artists
"To each his own" for sure. But let’s avoid dishonoring genuine fine art by calling things that clearly are not art "Art."

Trump Ushers-In Golden Age for Life
Decades of abortion advocates claiming a baby isn't a baby makes it easy for those same people to say a man is not a man and a woman is not a woman. Denying the biological reality of the unborn spawned transgender madness that is in retreat under Trump.

Trump's shrewd and precise targeting in Venezuela and shockingly powerful and persistent kinetic attacks in Iran effectively collapsed this three-fold strategic partnership and the "infrastructure debt-for-resources" model of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Insisting It's Winning Won't Get MAGA to Midterm Finish Line
Even some Trump supporters are beginning to acknowledge what data is showing. The current path points toward Democratic gains. Once that happens, the presidency itself enters a precarious phase. The Florida result matters. It's a signal. A warning.
Why I'll Take Rude and Truthful Every Time
In a perfect world, our politicians would be both polite and truthful. But we don't live in a perfect world. And if our choice is between someone who is rude and truthful or smooth and deceitful, I'll take rude and truthful every time.
Congress Must Reclaim Power to Declare War

Wake-Up Call for America: Fla. Says No to Social Engineering
The Sunshine State has spent years focusing on economic growth, individual opportunity, and solid governance. Other states and even big corporations hold tight to bureaucracies that split Americans into identity groups. Florida chose a different road.

Trump Confronts the War, Controls Markets
With oil prices highly sensitive and Mideast tensions always one escalation away from disruption, the U.S. economy would typically be under severe strain. Under almost any other president, we likely would have already felt impact. Instead, markets are holding.
Media Personalities Ensure Antisemitic Vitriol Thrives
Even a brief review of presidential decisions, from Eisenhower through Bush to Biden, should suffice to repudiate any allegations that America is in the iron grip of some diabolical Judaic cult, compelling it to sacrifice U.S. interests (and lives) for those of Israel.
Jackson Controversial, but Undeserving of Disrespectful Codas
Regardless of his political views or personal opinions about him, Jackson did not deserve the disrespectful treatment he received at his Memorial services from former Democratic Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Healthcare Costs Are Soaring, Accountability Can Lower Them
Too many providers bill without complete medical records, inflate reimbursements by "up-coding" services to a higher level of severity than warranted, submit duplicate charges or lean on opaque facility fees that add hundreds or thousands of dollars for services.
Do Globalists Get It? Wealth Alone Won't Save Energy, Food
The real battleground: not defined solely by conventional warfare, but by the stability of the systems sustaining life. Energy, food, and transport form the foundation. Disrupt them, and the effects are universal. In such a scenario, wealth alone offers little protection. This is the real war.
Let's Set, and Keep Record Straight on DHS Contracting Claims
As DHS confronts complex and evolving challenges, the focus should remain on facts, performance, and accountability, not on claims that fail to withstand scrutiny.

We're Witness to An Understated, Underestimated Iran Threat
The conflict has revealed a more resilient structure. Under sustained pressure, and loss of key leadership, Iran has demonstrated an ability to maintain military resistance. What we now witness suggests not that the original threat was overstated, but that it may have been underestimated.
Never Forget, Putin's War Is on Ukraine's Children Also
