Donald Trump's media genius strikes again, this time calling national and international attention to two slowly developing but strategically treacherous threats to North America's military and economic security: 1) Russian and potentially Chinese military and commercial encroachment on the North American Arctic; and 2) an enemy physically and/...Read more

This week, in a stunning volte-face, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook would now be revising its censorship policies to accord with his older vision of free speech. Specifically, Zuckerberg committed Facebook to revising a series of standards: reliance on left-wing fact-checkers will end, replaced by an X-like community notes system in ...Read more

An essay appeared recently in The Wall Street Journal under the headline "What Happens When a Whole Generation Never Grows Up?"

Behavior that has always been understood to define what it means to be an adult is disappearing among America's younger generations.

Institutions always seen as the sinews that define and hold together a society -- ...Read more

The American public is being sold a bill of goods that enrolling everyone in government-approved health insurance -- primarily managed care -- will improve the nation's health and close the troubling disparities between the health of Black and white Americans. Former President Barack Obama made insurance coverage the signature issue of the ...Read more

Colleges went mad. They charge students big bucks and then make them feel guilty. My new video looks at a new documentary called "The Coddling of the American Mind." It persuasively suggests that today, young people are anxious and depressed because "adults" at their schools brainwashed them. Students like Lucy Kross Wallace at Stanford.

"I was...Read more

When President Jimmy Carter ran for reelection in 1980, he had to compete against former California Gov. Ronald Reagan.

It was no contest. Reagan took 44 of the 50 states and won the popular vote by more than 8 million.

Why was Carter's reelection effort so disastrous?

Perhaps the most significant reason -- but not the only reason -- was ...Read more

Since Donald Trump won reelection, the fiercest Trump-bashers in the press have raged against any sign of media titans softening their approaches before the second term begins. Visits to Mar-a-Lago? Outrageous! Donating to Trump's inauguration? Unconscionable!

Then Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced his Meta sites would be abandoning ...Read more

The world is full of people who want you dead. It's an unpleasant and sometimes unavoidable truth.

Early on New Year's Day, a terrorist drove a white pickup through a celebratory crowd in New Orleans. As of this writing, Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar murdered 14 people and injured 35. After he crashed, police officers heroically returned fire and ...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- The media was too quick to move on from a recent MAGA civil war over H-1B visas, which allow companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers to fill specialty occupations.

We're not done yet. This is just the beginning of an argument that is likely to last all through President-elect Donald Trump's final term in office.

As will...Read more

BRADDOCK, Pennsylvania -- The fate of the Edgar Thomson Works, a massive steel plant that has hugged the same spot along the Monongahela River since 1875, became even more uncertain Friday morning when President Joe Biden announced he would block the sale of United States Steel to Nippon Steel as one of his last acts as president.

Biden said ...Read more

Shortly before Milton Friedman's death in 2006, I had the privilege of interviewing him over dinner in San Francisco. The last question I asked him was: What are the three things we have to do to make America more prosperous?

His answer I have never forgotten: "First, allow universal school choice; second, expand free trade; third and most ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Sunday night, President Joe Biden welcomed new Democratic members of Congress at the White House. By the time his remarks were over -- he talked for just under a half-hour -- there was little doubt that with two weeks to go until Jan. 20, the U.S. president is living in the long-ago past, not the present.

Remember how Team Biden...Read more

Donald Trump won. What a great New Year's gift! God saved America. God blessed America.

But what if Kamala Harris had won? What would this New Year's week be like?

It would be like a modern-day version of "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart. I'm here to show you how bad it could have been.

First, that Trump rally on Wall Street after ...Read more

As woke illiberalism replaced live-and-let-live liberalism as the animating ideology of the American Left, the state of Israel has increasingly found itself on the outs. Never mind that modern Israel was founded by, and for three decades politically dominated by, a bunch of left-wing socialists. Never mind that Harry Truman, an iconic liberal ...Read more

The Romans set January as the first month of the year. Originally, March had been the start of the new year. But the early Roman kings, before the republic, moved it to coincide with Janus, a two-faced god who looked backward with an old face and forward with a young face. Julius Caesar realigned Roman governance around January being the start...Read more

Point and laugh at The Hollywood Reporter. After four years of Team Biden pressuring Big Tech to crush dissent on social media, not to mention Team Biden pressuring the news media to crush any word of President Joe Biden's mental decline, they're going to warn the world about Donald Trump and censorship.

The silly headline on this silly ...Read more

New Year's Day is a good time to take a long look backward with a cautious eye toward possible futures. My guide here is RealClearPolitics analyst Sean Trende's 2012 book "The Lost Majority," whose bold thesis was unduly neglected by political scientists spinning tales of a permanent New Deal Democratic majority.

Trende's thesis instead was ...Read more
