When the IRS announced two weeks ago that it would not enforce a section of federal law commonly called the Johnson Amendment, many clerics rejoiced.

President Donald Trump is once again floating the idea of firing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, ostensibly in objection to excessively high interest rates.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has begun releasing hundreds of pages of previously classified documents about the "Russia collusion hoax."

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul thinks she can be the supreme leader for all of America, ...Read more

Capitalism gets a lot of hate. I expect it from the left. They blame free markets for racism, "horrifying inequality" and even, according to Economist Joseph Stiglitz, "accelerating climate change." People on the right generally defend capitalism, but today, a growing number agree with the left. Author James Lindsay says, "They make the exact ...Read more

Anyone who's followed the dissolute life and times of Hunter Biden knows that no one wanted the Biden presidency to end less than Hunter. His father's power was a cash cow, giving him millions he wasted on crack cocaine and hookers. So when he tried to mount a moral high horse in a three-hour podcast interview, that's news.

The devastating loss of Grand Canyon Lodge isn't a reason to put new restrictions on good fire.

The North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park is a marvel. A few summers ago, a friend and I took our sons there and drank in the remarkable views. Personally, I found it more breathtaking than the heavily trafficked South Rim. The historic Grand ...Read more

PITTSBURGH -- President Donald Trump last week fulfilled his pledge to protect America's national security and grow prosperity in the middle of the country when he announced a staggering $90 billion-plus had been secured to build artificial intelligence data power centers, all fueled by the region's abundant natural gas, nuclear and coal power...Read more

No, I'm not telling you to not be upset or disappointed about the Epstein decision. I am, too.

No, I'm not telling you not to complain, not to vent your anger.

I disagree with the decision, too. I urged President Donald Trump to reconsider and either release the Epstein files or name a special counselor.
