By encouraging and supporting vaccinations for everyone without forcing them on anyone, Trump is trying to deliver on his promise to Make America Healthy Again.

President Trump is updating the Monroe Doctrine. He said, "The Monroe Doctrine is a big deal, but we've superseded it by a lot." Under President Trump's doctrine, the goal is to prevent "hostile actors, foreign-backed criminal networks . . . from gaining footholds . . . "

The Iranian people took you at your word. Now they’re waiting to see if America's 47th commander in chief is a man of action, or just another politician making promises he won’t keep. I believe you meant what you said.

The 50-year mortgage doesn't address housing affordability. It merely prolongs the mortgage term; offers little in the way of monthly payment relief. Government planners would do better to focus on restrictive zoning practices that reduce housing density, increasing costs.

The overthrow of Maduro has Iran's mullahs quaking. Regime change in Iran would be a global game-changer. Iranian people protest against mullahs. Iranian proxies Hamas and Hezbollah are alive but weakened. Losing Venezuela would be another blow to Iran.

We could see indoctrinated and appallingly ill-informed marchers, denouncing the removal of Maduro, purportedly "in solidarity" with the Venezuelan people. A quick change of the channel revealed throngs of actual Venezuelans weeping with joy that Maduro was gone.

Lawmakers have information and influence other stock traders don't have. Lawmakers know when a bill will be voted on or a regulation adopted, and they have the clout to influence the timing.

In the run-up to the congressional and gubernatorial elections in November, the Trump administration and the GOP must relentlessly highlight their many successes in battling antisemitism during the last tumultuous decade, compared to the Democrats’ failures.

Tim Walz was never a middle American Democrat; he was just bland, whose politics were as far-out as those of anyone else in his party. The Democrats' problem isn't with the way their candidates look or sound, it's what they believe and do.

For decades, state sovereignty, originally conceived to protect nations from external domination, has been systematically distorted into a shield for criminal regimes, failed states, and authoritarian rulers. Power unused in the face of injustice is not restraint. It's abdication.

The Muslim Brotherhood has never hidden its ambitions. In 2011, its leader, Mohammed Badie, vowedto crush "Zio-American arrogance" and impose Islam's "mastership of the world" through a global caliphate under Sharia law.

Why are some analysts warning that if Iran's political system fails to align itself with ongoing social transformations, in intellectual, security, judicial, and executive dimensions, it may struggle to navigate the Iranian year 1405 (beginning March 21, 2026)?

Recently, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., sent out breathless warnings on social media and television that Trump is going to cut Social Security offices and make it harder for Americans to receive benefits.

Rather than trying to fix the estate tax, abolish it. Eliminate the stepped up basis for inherited stock, and make inherited money and other gifts received taxable income for the recipients.

It's amazing what a difference a president who puts America first can make. Yet young people are grim in their outlook. They're oblivious to how blessed they are to be in America at this unique moment of peace and unprecedented prosperity. They don't get it.

Sure, Germany is a winter wonderland of celebrations, and New York City has Times Square. But, there is no doubt that the Holy City of Bethlehem is the epicenter of Christmas.

We can't overlook the fact that President Trump appointed three Supreme Court justices during his first term, giving the Court an ideological balance tipped in favor of life, and of our Constitution.

In American politics, the scoreboard is rarely the final word. The conversation is. And sometimes the man who loses the election walks away with the only prize that endures: the future.

Our voters, especially younger ones, want what their parents and grandparents have: A spouse, a house, a well-paying job, two kids, a dog, a safe community, good schools and, maybe, even a white picket fence.

Saving, in many ways, is life or death in this world. Go for it. You will be a happier human being if you have money, and saving is the way to make it happen even unto old age.

Some issues in Washington are like that proverbial leaking roof: everyone knows it needs fixing, and every storm reminds us of the problem. But instead of grabbing a ladder and repairing it, the buckets just get moved around.

When a government loses an arbitration case in a neutral tribunal, it pays the award. That predictability is what allows U.S. companies to invest abroad with confidence. Romania is now threatening that foundation.

Until we restore transparency in economic data, until we stop manipulating the narrative to score political points, and until we replace volatility with consistency, small moves from the Fed will remain: gestures.

Liberal politicians have taken pains to invoke the imagery of the Hannukah menorah's light in order to pontificate about abstract universalist principles. Sometimes they even get the most basic facts of the Hannukah story egregiously wrong, as Doug Emhoff did.

This year's opening front? Military families at Tyndall Air Force Base near Panama City, Florida, who found themselves on the receiving end of the Grinch. In mid-November, families were ordered to take down Christmas decorations from their private residences.

Fentanyl pours across borders and overdoses ravage communities. The sharp divide couldn't be clearer. One party is focused on dismantling the global narcotics machine killing Americans. The other is offering sympathy, and political cover, to criminals.

The intellectualism of John F. Kennedy, patriotic, aspirational, grounded in faith and freedom, is all but forgotten, having been replaced by a grievance-obsessed ideology dividing the nation into oppressors and victims.

Affordability is a "feeling" issue, and history always weighs against an incumbent when he must defend himself on that basis. President Trump needs to move the discussion away from "affordability," as he's doing already;

Our nation's 47th chief executive understands how the exchange of goods and services leads to prosperity and peace.

Ultimately, a Palestinian state cannot be built in opposition to Israel's fundamental security needs. Israel does not need to embrace every step of the process, but it must have confidence that the emerging state will not become a new platform for violence.

President Donald Trump is racing against the political clock, working to fortify the razor-thin Republican majority in the U.S. House before the 2026 midterms threaten to upend his legislative momentum.
