It is rare for me to support anything inserting more government into our lives.

However, I'm now looking at one of these exceptions.

It's the AM Radio in Every Vehicle Act.

The legislation pushes back against automobile manufacturers moving to no longer include AM radio as standard equipment in new cars.

I've failed!

I make the case for free markets... some young people elect socialists!

What are they thinking?

Do they even think?

Do they pay any attention to history?

Or economics?

Socialism always fails.

Only markets create environments that let people prosper.

"Getting the right environment -- this country's done it ...Read more

Democrat career politician Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island -- who is now serving his 19th year in the U.S. Senate -- has introduced a bill that would impose an 18-year term limit.

But this term limit would not apply to members of Congress. It would apply to Supreme Court justices.

"Term limits and regular appointments would make the Court...Read more

CNN's Brian Stelter sent out his "Reliable Sources" email on July 28 with the chirpy headline "Surprise: PBS and NPR are still alive and kicking." Why on Earth would that be a surprise? Depriving these liberal networks of taxpayer money wasn't a death sentence.

In last year's debate over defunding, PBS and NPR executives routinely claimed ...Read more

Poor Anthony Fauci -- the man who became an overnight celebrity when deadly COVID-19 hit these shores.

Even colleges can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Just 38% of Americans have high confidence in higher education, according to a new Gallup poll. That's down from 57% in 2015. Gallup found the three main reasons for this lack of confidence are political agenda, cost and not preparing students for a future career.

This is a stunning...Read more

In tribal politics, we are not supposed to raise this. Someone should, and the truth does not care about your feelings.

Republicans built a decade-long movement on two promises: drain the swamp, and expose the Biden Crime Family. That investigation established Biden relatives took more than $10 million from foreign sources but never tied a ...Read more

Democrats winning congressional primaries in this midterm cycle include a wave of radical-left candidates not just allying with socialists like Bernie Sanders but with communists like Hasan Piker. In Michigan, Abdul el-Sayed campaigned with Piker, a man who says America deserved 9/11 and insists mass-murdering communist dictator Mao Zedong was a...Read more

Wars remake war. New weaponry, new tactics, new strategy time and again produce results no one predicted or thought possible.

Revolutionary France's levee en masse and Napoleon's bold attacks prevailed over staid 18th-century siege warfare and subdued all Europe. The aggressive assaults produced horrendous casualties but were unable to move the...Read more

One of the defining failures of modern American government has been the steady erosion of Congress's constitutional authority over war. The Constitution grants Congress -- not the president -- the power to declare war. Congress decides to go to war. The president wages it.

Over the past several decades, presidents of both major parties have ...Read more

Every time questions arise about the advanced age of America's elected leaders, Washington responds with the same familiar refrain: Experience matters.

Republicans say it. Democrats say it. Editorial writers repeat it. Longevity in office, we're told, produces wisdom, steadier judgment and better public policy.

It's an appealing argument. It ...Read more
