Trustees of the Social Security program just issued their annual report.

Each year, the picture of the program's solvency is dismal. But this year it's even worse.

Rather than falling short in 2033, as reported last year, this year the shortfall is projected to be in late 2032.

That's six years from now.

Without action taken, benefits, per...Read more

Understand Iran's ayatollah regime cannot change its behavior -- at least it can't change and remain the regime founded by the Ayatollah Khomeini.

Here's why. Since 1979, the regime has declared it will ultimately rule the world -- oh, yes. Iran's Islamic revolutionary regime will also play a central role in human history's final days.

People are excited about peptides.

The internet is filled with claims: Peptides raise your energy, boost metabolism, clear your skin, slow down aging, build more muscle, repair injuries ...

My mother -- a doctor of medicine who had 11 children -- made my brothers and sisters the lunches we carried each day to school in brown paper bags. The standard menu was a sandwich and some kind of fruit -- an apple, an orange, a banana or, maybe, a peach or a pear.

There were 72 students enrolled in my grade level at St. Raphael's School in...Read more

Anyone could have predicted that the elitist snobs would lose their minds over the White House hosting a UFC event on President Donald Trump's birthday, led by Lawrence O'Donnell wailing about the "despicable vulgarity" of the whole thing.

But the Hollywood Left attempted despicably vulgar counterprogramming in Manhattan, a "star-studded event"...Read more

What cruel irony that we learned last week that Social Security is going broke even sooner than we thought. The Social Security trust fund will be exhausted in 2032, according to the latest Trustees Report. How odd that it is even referred to as a "trust fund," because there is no trust, and there is no fund.

Because of the Ponzi scheme ...Read more

Mike Rowe has been on a lonely mission. For two decades, he has been raising the alarm.

Rowe has been warning anyone who would listen that our skills gap in the trades was widening to a chasm so large that the economic effect on U.S. manufacturing companies, in particular auto and steel industries but also defense, construction and energy ...Read more

Democrats take great offense at being accused of being unpatriotic, but the data doesn't lie.

A new NBC News poll captured the partisan gap over pride in America. Overall, 56% of Americans are extremely or very proud of the country, but only 29% of Democrats, compared to 90% of Republicans.

That's a yawning gap, and about a matter that ...Read more

If you want to find out why our country has been so successful, you should study the people who built it.

America is about to turn 250 years old. It should be easy to celebrate America. Aside from the healthy patriotic pride anyone should feel, we are the greatest country in the history of the world. We enjoy freedoms most people could only ...Read more

Nearly three decades after the end of the Troubles, Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, is once again on fire.

On Monday, June 8, a Sudanese "asylum" seeker attacked a local man on the street with a kitchen knife, slashing him across the face and neck. Graphic video of the attack, which blinded the victim in one eye, rapidly spread ...Read more

Set aside, for a moment, that Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner spent years with a Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo. Set aside that he blamed sexual assault victims for their predicament, that he called rural white Americans stupid racists, that he advocated political violence, that he mocked a wounded Purple Heart recipient, that he joked about the...Read more

The World Cup is kicking off here in the United States and for the next five weeks, a sport most Americans cannot be bothered to watch will bring the rest of the planet to our doorstep.

The sudden death of the historian Gordon Wood, just weeks before the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, is one more mark of the closure of a golden age of the historiography of the Revolutionary era. It's an occasion to reflect on the uniqueness, indeed the idiosyncrasy, of the emergence of the primacy of ...Read more

When President Donald Trump appointed an obviously unqualified friend, a home builder executive, to be acting director of national intelligence, he inadvertently triggered attention to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Something important is happening in Washington that many political observers did not expect to see this early in President Donald Trump's second term.

For the first time since Republicans regained unified control of Washington, significant numbers of Republican senators and House members are openly pushing back against the White House not on ...Read more

Writer and philosopher Ayn Rand was often accused of inventing cartoonish villains. Rogues like Ellsworth Toohey in "The Fountainhead" would scheme to seize the global economy's commanding heights in pursuit of a distorted sense of justice. But the people who hold such ideas don't just appear in cartoons or in Rand's novels.

Enter Thomas ...Read more

Long after Election Day, the ballots comin' down

No IDs or postmarks wherever they are found

The laws make cheating legal, and Democrats applaud

And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the fraud?

Fed up Angelinos, having watched their city burn

Voted for a newcomer, then saw the tallies turn

The loser makes the runoff, no one thinks...Read more
