Progressives love unions. Not only do unions protect workers, they say, unions gave us the weekend and the middle class. I say, capitalism created the middle class. Employers, competing for better workers, gave us the weekend. But whatever you think about capitalism, few people question the claim that unions help workers. But I will. A couple ...Read more

When the Founders wrote the Constitution, they unambiguously gave Congress control over federal spending. But Planned Parenthood is now suing the federal government in denial of this fact -- claiming the Constitution requires the federal government to give money to organizations that are abortion providers.

Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 of ...Read more

On June 25, 33-year-old Democrat Zohran Mamdani became a new socialist sensation in the media when he won the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City. But when Republicans pounced on his radicalism, their journalistic instinct was to back away from the story.

In the seven days after his victory, ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS combined for 56 ...Read more

KITTANNING -- In April 1775, William Thompson, a man rarely if ever mentioned in American history books, became the first commissioned colonel in the Continental Army of a rifle battalion in the 1st Pennsylvania Regiment.

The men who served with him were German, Irish and Scottish settlers. They were fiercely independent frontiersmen, farmers...Read more

In honor of America's recent 249th birthday, let's take a moment to celebrate some of the most incredible things about her.

We are a nation of settlers. This is the country where ancestors risked -- and often lost -- their lives in pursuit of religious freedom and opportunity. From the Mayflower to the Oregon Trail, they persevered in extreme...Read more

Everyone knows that the "big, beautiful" tax bill signed into law on the Fourth of July lowers tax burdens for families and businesses. It also averts a $4 trillion tax increase starting next year. That's enough reason to heartily celebrate.

But what isn't well known is that this new law doesn't just change tax policy. It includes dozens of ...Read more

Donald Trump has been accused of many outlandish things, but killing children with flash floods has to be among the worst.

The first reflex of his critics was to blame him for the appalling tragedy in Central Texas, where a flood on July 4 killed more than 80 people, including two dozen children at a Christian summer camp.

This is one of the...Read more

I've had an epiphany. President Donald Trump always aims for the stars. We need to do more than just defeat Zohran Mamdani, the New York City Democrat mayoral candidate.

President Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ need to start the process to DEPORT HIM.

I've studied the topic of "denaturalization." This is when the U.S. government...Read more

It's the 249th birthday of the United States. And as Americans begin to prepare for our nation's grand semiquincentennial celebration next year, it is worth reengaging with the document whose enactment marks our national birthday: the Declaration of Independence.

The Declaration is sometimes championed by right-libertarians and left-liberals ...Read more

I find it funny when people attack me as MAGA. Someone yesterday said I would do whatever "Dear Leader" demanded. They clearly do not know me. In fact, radio stations that air my show often get complaints from MAGA that I am not sufficiently deferential to President Donald Trump. I actually lost a station because the owner did not think I ...Read more

Democrats can say the wildest and craziest things and know that all those badly named "mainstream" media outlets and fact-checkers won't care in the slightest. Sen. Bernie Sanders can call the Republicans a Stalinist cult. Rep. Pramila Jayapal can call ICE a "terrorist force." It's all fair game.

Somehow I have ended up on several lists for ...Read more

Not many people today remember the exhilaration so many Americans felt after Israel's victory in the Six-Day War in June 1967. The liberal folks around me at work and law school then had been frustrated and puzzled at the lack of progress being made in Vietnam by the 448,000 U.S. troops stationed there, and the sudden and astonishing success of ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- "Diddy Gets Off," shouted a New York Post online headline Wednesday.

But hip-hop mogul Sean Combs didn't get off entirely. A Manhattan jury found Combs guilty of two of the five federal felonies he was charged with by the U.S. Southern District of New York -- the two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution -- but not...Read more

Major League Baseball is currently debating various rules changes to improve the game, when what it really needs is more players wearing capes and doing back flips.

That, at least, is the lesson of Savannah Bananas, the barnstorming team that has come up with a madcap version of baseball that is widely popular and selling out stadiums around ...Read more

We are independent of London, but are we independent of Washington?

Is there more freedom when governed by one tyrant 3,000 miles away or by 3,000 tyrants a few miles away?

Does government today remotely resemble the values articulated on July 4th 1776?

When the President of the United States bombs the lawful facilities of a foreign country ...Read more

There are many who will gather this Fourth of July under the guise of celebration -- barbecues, fireworks, flag-waving. But how many understand -- truly understand -- what they are celebrating?

In an era where grievance has replaced gratitude, the Fourth of July has become a hollow ritual for some. The danger is not just in forgetting our ...Read more

Here we go again. This week, the Senate unveiled, honed and passed its version of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," and it's a fiscal monstrosity. What was already an oversized mess in the House has been supersized into a $4 trillion ode to unseriousness.

This isn't tax reform. It's a bipartisan pinata stuffed with pork, gimmicks and -- of ...Read more
