Democrats Obstruct Republican Cost Reduction Measures
As concerns about the cost and availability of energy have increased among American consumers, Democrats in the House and Senate have stepped up efforts to block Republican legislative initiatives to address these concerns.
Following weeks of energy permitting reform negotiations between Senate Republicans and Democrats, as well as the Trump ...Read more
Gas Prices Are High, but So Is the Price of Liberty
With the midterm elections nearing, Democrats are surging ahead in the polls, offering rhetoric about a "failed Republican economy." But the facts show that the first two years of Republican control have produced impressive economic gains, especially for minorities, women and workers on the bottom rungs of the economic ladder.
It's not the ...Read more
Always Watching
Do you worry that you're being watched?
If you drive, you probably are.
My new video covers the cameras that photograph the backs of millions of cars.
A company called Flock has 80% of that market.
Flock's CEO says the goal is to "eliminate crime."
But lots of people hate the cameras.
"We are asked to give up our privacy for really ...Read more
Democrat Leaders vs. Biology
Does two plus two equal three? Or can a man be a woman?
Democratic leaders in Washington, D.C., have embraced an ideology that denies the basic scientific truth that an individual's sex is as unchangeable as the fact that two plus two equals four.
An enduring example of this fact-denying ideology occurred when the Senate Judiciary Committee ...Read more
The Leftist Tilt of 'Mamdani Night Live'
The People's Republic of Late-Night Comedy will do its part to boost Democrats during the midterm election season. See the season debut of NBC's "Saturday Night Live." Zohran Mamdani is not on the ballot, but these comedians are deeply in love with the radical leftist Muslim, so they feel compelled to transfer their giddy feelings to their ...Read more
You’ll never guess how Canada would fight a Trump invasion
PARIS – If you grew up anywhere near the Canada-U.S. border, you know that picking up a hockey stick and heading to the nearest frozen pond or cul-de-sac is just part of life. But did it ever occur to you that it might also be your best basic military training? Well, Canadians can now thank Trump for evoking the possibility.
Canadian Prime ...Read more
Three Easy Ways to Reduce Pain at the Pump
I've always argued that the easiest way for families to gauge the health of the economy is to check the daily gas price. Drivers see the 50-foot-high signs in every community in America. They stare us right in the face.
I call it the affordability index.
In recent weeks, gas prices have hit $4.50 a gallon nationally, and truckers are paying ...Read more
How 1,800 Local Tradespeople Are Powering Pennsylvania's Ultimate Energy and Data Innovation Campus
HOMER CITY, Pennsylvania -- Eighteen months ago, Shawn Steffee stood in a field in Indiana County and watched the smokestacks of Pennsylvania's largest coal-fired power plant fold into a cloud of dust, then told anyone who would listen that the wreckage was not a funeral.
"This isn't the end, this is the beginning," said the business agent ...Read more
Cal Thomas: The perfect metaphor
The perfect metaphor to characterize the UN General Assembly delegates who walked out before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke is this: “There are none so blind as those who will not see." You can’t make people ...Read more
James Talarico's Unconvincing Christian Progressivism
James Talarico may not think that God is nonbinary anymore, but he's certain that He's in favor of universal healthcare.
The Texas Senate candidate posted a riff on X about how the Bible is the foundation of his progressivism. Supposedly, through happy coincidence, Our Savior agrees with Talarico about important planks of the Democratic ...Read more
Why Islam Threatens Liberty
Little kids aren't the only ones who act like closing their eyes will keep them safe. Look at how many people want to avoid discussing how Islam threatens liberty.
In 1992, Imam Siraj Wahhaj said, "If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate."
In ...Read more
What El-Sayed Won't Say About Iran Tells Michigan Everything
During a recent town hall, a Michigan University student named Iman Dashti confronted Democratic Party's Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed regarding his habitual whitewashing and rationalization of Islamic terrorism.
Dashti, who says his family is a victim of the Iranian regime's theocratic persecution, pressed the candidate numerous times to ...Read more
Trump's Greenland Agreement Is the 'Art of the Deal' in Action
In 1867, the United States purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire for $7.2 million. The deal was widely ridiculed. Critics called it "Seward's Folly," after the secretary of state and lead negotiator, William Seward.
In hindsight, given the state's immense natural resources and strategic location, it's tough to think of Alaska as anything ...Read more
The Tide Turns Toward Doom
The macroeconomic numbers are good. America is near full employment. The stock market is doing well. Inflation is high, but down from where it was with former President Joe Biden. Americans do not care. They hate both parties. Republican operatives on the ground in state after state tell me the same story. Voters are enraged at the GOP.

Hollywood Feminist Makes Over Jesus to Sound Like Meryl Streep
Conservatives expressed grave concern when director Greta Gerwig happily announced that her forthcoming movie "Narnia: The Magician's Nephew" would star Meryl Streep as the voice of Aslan -- the lion that author C.S. Lewis clearly used as a Christ figure.
This kind of gender confusion gives off vibes of James Talarico announcing that God is "...Read more
Toward a Post-Trump Politics
From the clutter of midterm election poll results, it's possible sometimes to see new patterns of political support emerging.
The overall pattern, as it stands, makes some sense. As in the 2006 and 2018 off-year cycles, the Republican president's job approval had sagged to well below 50%. Polls at this point in the year showed Democrats ...Read more
The Revolt Against Tariffs
In 2016, Donald Trump's support for tariffs helped propel him to a shocking electoral victory. In 2026, his tariff policy may help tank Republicans in the midterms.
This turnabout counts as a surprise of Trump's second term, and an unwelcome one for the president and his party.
During his political ascent in 2015-2016, Trump exploited issues...Read more
Fulton Sheen and Me
History yields people whose influence extends far beyond their earthly lives. They become teachers to generations they never met, spiritual companions to people whose names they never knew, and reminders that faith is not merely a set of propositions to be accepted but a way of life to be embraced. For me, one of those extraordinary figures is...Read more
The War Behind the War
The widening conflict involving the United States, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthis is no longer merely a Middle Eastern war. It is becoming a contest over the international order itself, with Russia and China operating increasingly in the shadows and avoiding direct confrontation while exploiting disorder, protecting their interests and...Read more
As Trump and Xi Meet, Can We Get Some Clarity on Trade Policy?
Chinese President Xi Jinping landed at Joint Base Andrews just outside Washington on Wednesday and was met personally on the tarmac by President Donald Trump. The agenda included an elaborate Rose Garden military review and official state dinner in the White House's East Room.
Most of that chichi was just foreplay before Thursday's ...Read more
