The Cartel of the Suns is old news. Long-ignored old news.

However, its public damnation by Secretary of State Marco Rubio demonstrates the Trump administration is serious about protecting American citizens from the disintegrative war being waged by American enemies on U.S. soil.

On Nov. 16, Rubio, via press release, declared the U.S. will ...Read more

There are plenty of serious questions to be asked about Jeffrey Epstein.

Where did he get his money?

Why did so many major figures hobnob with him long after his plea agreement on sex charges with minors?

But when it comes to the ongoing Epstein fallout, there's something else going on: an enormous amount of cynical politicking.

Let's ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- I'll admit it: I've held President Donald Trump to a different standard than former President Joe Biden when it comes to financial entanglements.

Why? For all their "Middle Class Joe" values, Biden and his family -- notably, grabby son Hunter -- apparently set out to cash in on Biden's time in public office and after he served ...Read more

Per new polling reported by Gallup, religion is no longer important to most Americans.

In response to the question "Is religion an important part of your daily life," 49% said yes.

Ten years ago, in 2015, 66% responded affirmatively.

Gallup notes that this 17-point drop "ranks among the largest Gallup has recorded in any country over any 10...Read more

The Democrats' lurch to the extreme left is accelerating at warp speed -- and Connecticut is the latest victim.

The state legislature's Democratic supermajority last week rammed through a bill, HB 8002, that's a thinly disguised socialist wishlist.

Cynically couched as a remedy for the affordable housing crisis, its real purpose is ...Read more

We media types obsess about America's problems. But we should acknowledge that today, life in America is better than life has been anywhere, ever. For most of history, the norm was hunger, disease, illiteracy, slavery and war. There were a few exceptions (from some of those problems) -- so-called golden ages, Ancient Athens, Rome, the ...Read more

When former California Gov. Ronald Reagan sat down with William F. Buckley Jr. to tape an episode of "Firing Line" in January 1980, he stated his unambiguous position on the newly created federal Department of Education.

If he were elected president, he would try to shut it down.

"I would like to dissolve the $10 billion national Department ...Read more

When one of the most famous black women in America starts scolding the "white people," you can feel the double standard marching to center stage. Imagine, for one second, President Donald Trump lecturing the "black people" about being unreasonable. You only need one second to imagine the reaction.

Michelle Obama sat down in front of an audience...Read more

Young adults need lower housing prices, not longer mortgages.

The median age of first-time home buyers is now 40, according to a recent report from the National Association of Realtors. Among all buyers, the median age was 59. Home buyers are more likely to be near or at retirement age than young, married parents.

It wasn't always like this....Read more

WOODLAWN, Maryland -- There is a pattern in the Trump administration that if you are very good at the first job you are appointed to, you are likely to get another one, something more challenging than the first.

It's been true for Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is also the acting national security adviser and acting archivist of the ...Read more

The buzzword of the month is "affordability," and based on the election results from New York, New Jersey and Virginia, voters think that's declining. Democrats think they've found a winning issue here to win back the hearts and minds of voters after the Trump sweep last year.

It's true that people are angry about prices. Steaks and hamburgers ...Read more

In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association. A fractured court, led by a conservative majority, held that the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992, signed into law in the final months of the George H.W. Bush presidency, was unconstitutional.

The practical effect of the Murphy ...Read more

Fox News host Laura Ingraham asked President Donald Trump this week if the affordability issue was a factor in the elections in Virginia, New Jersey and New York City. "More than anything else, it's a con job by the Democrats," Trump said, before going on to harangue the media and instruct the GOP to tell voters prices are down.

Now, I stand ...Read more

Perhaps hate is too strong a word, but I am so disgusted by Washington, D.C. and just about all the politicians there. Democrats just lost a shutdown fight they tried to claim no responsibility for and then -- with the help of the press -- pivoted to Jeffrey Epstein. It turns out one of Epstein's major private boosters was the author Michael ...Read more

Even the sports pages can be a platform for anti-Trump editorializing. After the Washington Commanders were drubbed by the Detroit Lions, the front page of The Washington Post sports section carried a piece by columnist Barry Svrluga trashing Trump's appearance at the game, and in the Fox broadcast booth. He called it "sportswashing."

"What ...Read more

Success breeds failure. Policies and practices well suited to society at one juncture in history are often poorly suited to the world they have beneficially transformed. If you carry a good thing too far, it can turn out not to be a good thing anymore.

Case in point, one of the most successful public policies in U.S. history, the World War II G...Read more
