New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has chalked up more notable victories.

His candidates won three crucial Democratic primaries -- candidates who are supporters of the Democratic Socialists of America, as is Mamdani -- defeating three Democratic Party establishment candidates, two of whom are sitting members of Congress.

Discussing with ABC'...Read more

The 250th anniversary of America's Declaration of Independence coinciding with North America hosting the World Cup competition takes me back to a column I wrote in June 2002 featuring my soccer-loving landlord -- 24 years ago, the day after the U.S. team defeated Mexico's powerful World Cup squad.

Now my first sentence contains an ...Read more

Tenants' groups and leftwing activists are cheering New York City's newly announced multiyear rent freeze. But Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rent scheme is headed for a judicial smackdown at the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 2023 and twice in 2024, a hesitant Supreme Court declined to hear challenges by building owners to New York state's rent regulations....Read more

Car accidents kill 100 Americans every day.

But now an amazing solution is available: self-driving cars.

Robotaxis like Google-owned Waymo, for example.

Passengers who try them, like them.

Wherever robotaxis are allowed, ridership increases fast.

Two years ago, there were 50,000 trips per week -- today 500,000.

"The car did a better job ...Read more

This year Americans are celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, which declared the "self-evident" truth that "all men are created equal" and "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights," including the rights to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

The leaders of the Democratic Party, ...Read more

There's no longer much foreign reporting on television with the exception of natural disasters, or countries where Americans are engaged in military action. That's certainly true of Europe -- except for Britain. The networks, surely focused on ratings, display a fascination with the Royal Family.

On Monday, NBC's "Today" featured a four-minute ...Read more

AVERY COUNTY, North Carolina -- If there is such a thing as the classic Appalachian success story, the rise in popularity of the outside-the-box band Cigarettes @ Sunset would be that story.

But nothing comes easy in Appalachia.

The five-member band, which includes Garrett Dellinger, Ryland Bagbey, Sarah Vann, Wells Whitman and Ethan Moore, ...Read more

If you want to see modern-day socialism in action, look no further than to the other side of the pond at not-so-jolly old England. The story of Britain's decline is a warning signal to those here in the States who are thrilled by the warm embrace of socialism.

Right now, the Brits are having the same debate about the merits of socialism as we ...Read more

It's a shame, really. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is such a strong supporter of pluralism that he has to single out the state of Israel for unique opprobrium.

Asked by Jonathan Karl of ABC News in an interview for "This Week" whether he supports Israel's status as a Jewish state, Mamdani said he doesn't -- he'd only support Israel "as ...Read more

The pages of tomorrow's history are written by today's decisions.

History is littered with failed republics and democracies. The Roman Republic became the Roman Empire. Democracy in ancient Greece turned into an aristocracy. This didn't just happen in ancient history. In 1961, a new constitution in Venezuela divided the government into three ...Read more

The next mayor of Washington, D.C. is likely to be a Marxist. In Los Angeles, the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks are battling it out for control. New York City has already fallen to a champion of Third Worldism.

And, for the first time in American history, a significant bloc of Congress will openly hate the country they represent. We aren't talking ...Read more

Americans are routinely told that our nation is hopelessly divided, irredeemably flawed and perhaps even in terminal decline. Public polling reflects this pervasive frustration, pessimism and anomie. If someone halfway around the world only followed the polls, he might be forgiven for believing our republic is all but over.

But something ...Read more

There is a coherent worldview behind the vice president's foreign policy and that is exactly the problem. J.D. Vance does not stumble into the outcomes he produces. He believes in them. He sees a tripartite world with America secured in its own hemisphere, Russia dominant across its near abroad and China supreme in Asia. He appears willing to ...Read more

One way our nation's most "prestigious" newspapers show they're Democrat Party propaganda sheets is when their fashion critics apply all of their tawdry partisan biases to their evaluations of the clothes of politicians (or their spouses).

Robin Givhan of The Washington Post was a transparent Democrat, and so is Vanessa Friedman of The New ...Read more

As we inch toward the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, let me share a couple of reflections on the background of how this extraordinary, unprecedented and daring event succeeded.

Two decades ago, I set out to write a book about the events known as the Glorious Revolution of 1688-89. I suspected that this ...Read more

There are many things in American life that deserve our suspicion and contempt, but plumbers aren't among them.

Evidently, Jimmy Kimmel disagrees. The late-night host took a shot at newly confirmed DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, who used to run a plumbing business, by saying, "We have a plumber now protecting us from terrorism."

The gibe ...Read more

Since its inception, the government of the United States has inexorably exceeded its powers under the Constitution. All three branches have been complicit in a consistent pattern of constitutional indifference.

Congress has regulated in areas of governance nowhere articulated in the Constitution. Its general regulatory powers were granted to ...Read more
