SAN DIEGO -- Harvard University stands accused of not defending a group of students on the margins.

You don't say! I could write a book on that subject. Oh wait, I did. In 1993, just a few years after graduation, I wrote a memoir about being a Mexican American student at America's oldest university.

In the fall of 1985, I was one of just 35 ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Forget rehabbing Alcatraz, President Donald Trump, as you proposed on social media over the weekend. It's not worth the years and treasure that would be needed to turn the popular tourist destination back into a maximum-security prison for the worst federal offenders.

Instead, think Nevada.

Nevada delivered six Electoral ...Read more

But 30 years ago, the location was a starkly different story: an Air Force base that had just been shuttered, costing 11,600 jobs.

Fundamental to ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- I've been having flashbacks about Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, who killed three innocent people and wounded 23 during a 17-year killing spree. In 1998, Kaczynski pleaded guilty and agreed to a sentence of life without parole. He killed himself in 2023.

It turns out Luigi Mangione, who stands accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO ...Read more

Let's start with one of my biggest hits. Way back around 15 years ago, I was the originator of the strategy to ship thousands of illegal aliens to filthy rich Democrat towns.

During the Biden administration, GOP governors (in particular, Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas) adopted my idea and shipped illegals to both Democrat-run ...Read more

Former vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz recently told an audience at Harvard's Kennedy School that former Vice President Kamala Harris chose him as a running mate because of his uncanny ability to connect with the average Caucasian cisgender dude. "I could code talk to white guys -- watching football, fixing their truck," he explained. "I ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this bombshell during Wednesday's White House Cabinet meeting: "We had an office in the Department of State whose job it was to censor Americans."

Rubio offered that he is surprised a federal agency monitoring the social media posts and commentary of American citizens is not a bigger story.

President Donald Trump's first 100 days, which he celebrated this week with a characteristically electric campaign-style rally in Michigan, were the fastest and most frenzied 100 days in modern presidential history. And if Thursday's presidential personnel drama is any indication, the next 100 days could offer more of the same.

On Thursday, ...Read more

The White House lawn was festooned for the past week with mug shots of supposed illegal immigrant criminals the administration has arrested or deported.

The Supreme Court heard arguments on April 30 on whether a Catholic school in Oklahoma named for St. Isidore the Farmer can be the first charter school with a religious foundation. It's the latest case to alarm the media about the so-called separation of church and state.

Those words, the operative section of "Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy," one of several executive ...Read more

President Trump downplayed potentially empty store shelves at his recent cabinet meeting.

He said of goods from China that might go missing, "Much of it we don't need."

Then he elaborated the point: "Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, you know? And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they ...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- I've been wrestling with the story of the Wisconsin judge who went quickly from "your honor" to "the defendant."

The more I hear about this case, the less certain I am that Hannah Dugan -- a Milwaukee circuit court judge -- did anything wrong.

Of course, you'll never convince President Donald Trump and MAGA of that. But what do ...Read more

Last week the FBI arrested a Wisconsin state judge as she was walking into the courthouse where she works. The feds had alerted the media -- but not the judge -- to this event, and they arrived and recorded the arrest.

The standard and preferred practice when arresting a nonviolent person who is a public official with deep roots in the ...Read more

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.

When Donald Trump reentered office in 2025, he inherited a strong economy partly fueled by the possibility of lower taxes on capital, fewer overbearing regulations, energy abundance and the rise of AI. Instead of stewarding that prosperity and optimism, Trump quickly upended it through a reckless love affair with tariffs and a flair for ...Read more
