American voters have spoken. And in our 250th anniversary year, it's encouraging to know that our Constitutional order has survived another election.

Yes, we finalize our political battles in the private voting booth.

It appears yet again that the majority of American voters prefer a divided government to coerce political consensus.

Colorado politicians promised the state's families universal pre-K programs -- but snatched the promise back from Catholic parents who want to choose a school that supports their religious beliefs.

Parents fought them all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

On Tuesday the justices heard oral arguments in St. Mary Catholic Parish vs. Roy, a ...Read more

"There is an epidemic of suffering!" says New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.

"A mental health crisis!" says Vice President JD Vance.

Alarmist media agree: "Mental health crisis among U.S. teens," reports The New York Times.

The Wall Street Journal: "America's mental health is worsening."

As usual, when the media and politicians agree, the ...Read more

When President Woodrow Wilson addressed a joint session of Congress on April 2, 1917, to call for a declaration of war against Germany, there was a just and reasonable cause for Congress to authorize that war. German submarines had been sinking boats in the Atlantic Ocean and killing Americans on board.

But Wilson had a grander vision of why ...Read more

The average American independent voter has a "pox on both houses" bias, but the average "mainstream" journalist doesn't think that way. They will always see the Republicans as more negative than the Democrats. That's because they enjoy attacks on their conservative adversaries and empathize when their Democrat friends are targeted.

On Nov. 1,...Read more

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- On a recent afternoon, April Polk was driving to a doctor's appointment when her assistant flagged something in her business inbox: a grant application, the kind of funding opportunity a small retailer cannot afford to miss.

The assistant offered to fill it out while she drove.

"She's like, 'Hey, I can go on there and I can...Read more

Altruism is, of course, a virtue.

Yes, we have a moral duty to help our fellow man and strive to leave the world a better place. By definition, rich and successful people can have a much bigger influence on improving the state of the planet ... because they have more money and influence. But there are exceptions. One of the greatest altruists...Read more

Capitalism comes from freedom. Socialism requires coercion.

Regardless of Tuesday's election results, one thing is certain. Along with welcoming the Democratic Socialists of America into their party, Democrats are rapidly embracing socialism. Several DSA candidates are going to win in deep-blue congressional districts. Democratic House leader...Read more

President Donald Trump recently accused Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed of being "on the side of the terrorists." The accusation triggers fits of indignation from the Left. The Washington Post and other major outlets assured voters "there is no evidence" to claim that El-Sayed supports groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood.

America's left-wing fringe, which is increasingly indistinguishable from the Democratic Party mainstream, absolutely hates our nation. You'd have to be blind not to see it.

Take the latest example: Jonathan Andrew Tijerina, the punk who just desecrated the 9/11 Memorial Reflecting Pool in downtown Manhattan.

Earlier this week, Tijerina was ...Read more

In August, Mary Peltola told Alaskans, "It should be a criminal offense to lie or mislead the electorate. YES!" Her campaign might have wanted to check its own text messages before she said it.

According to a New York Times investigation published Wednesday, top Peltola aides in the summer of 2025 told a staffer to find as many people named ...Read more

Whenever the elitist media come under attack as "fake news" from President Donald Trump, they pretend that this is a battle between the heroic guardians of democracy and this tragically elected authoritarian. They pretend to represent a Civics 101 definition: the press serves to hold all government actors accountable and gives voters the facts...Read more

It's easy to forget that Americans are voting in a year that marks the 250th anniversary of the nation's Declaration of Independence. You don't hear much about the declaration in the campaign rhetoric, and most people would bristle at the notion that the sublime message of the founding document has much to do with the messy politics of this ...Read more

President Donald Trump says that the Iran war will end "soon," a promise he's been making most of this year.

Eventually, he will be right, but it hasn't happened in time for the midterm elections, and his party is bearing the brunt.

If Republicans get thumped, all the polling suggests that prices will be one of the main reasons, with the ...Read more

America has a deadly addiction to war. Since 1950, presidents of both political parties have sent American troops into conflicts across the globe, killed countless people, sacrificed the lives and limbs of American servicemen and women, and wasted trillions of dollars. Yet these wars have consistently failed to achieve the objectives ...Read more

A president's influence is not measured only by how many candidates accept his endorsement. It is measured by whether his leadership makes his party stronger. By that measure, Donald Trump's political choices are putting Republican control of the Senate and the House at risk.

The warning signs are visible in Texas, South Carolina and ...Read more

No matter what happens in Tuesday's elections, support for wealth taxes keeps growing. Its justification is based on the idea that the very rich owe all of us something, and taxing their fortunes is collecting on that debt. We're told their success fuels inequality and that it's selfish of them to keep so much, especially if they don't ...Read more

Runoffs in Brazil's presidential elections took place this past Sunday, Oct. 25, and the socialist candidate -- Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva ("Lula") -- won after some procedural funny business. Among other things, Lula's campaign claimed that traffic congestion prevented some voters on city buses from getting to the polls before they closed at 5...Read more
