President Trump's tariffs aren't popular, but he's found a way to make them even less so -- a trade war with America's most inoffensive ally.

When one thinks of countries that deserve to be subjected to a steady stream of insults (it's Lake America now, not Lake Ontario) and a punishing regime of tariffs, Canada is far down the list.

It's midterms crunch time, so we are hearing endless political promises from all candidates. My hope is that with so much talk about affordability and economic growth, a voter or two would raise their hand and ask about price controls and credit card caps.

These might seem such minuscule topics to interpret some political grandstanding and ...Read more

A quarter of a century has passed since Al Qaeda's hideous Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. The 25th anniversary is an appropriate moment to reflect on that horror's historical impacts.

The morning of the attack, I was outlining a "futurist" column addressing new space-based weapons programs and the increasing militarization of space. My wife ...Read more

As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 nears, the biggest disgrace is that the attack's evil mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, has not been tried and sentenced to death.

Blame the American Civil Liberties Union, in large part, for this injustice. The ACLU intervened at the start, insisting that the two military lawyers assigned to defend Mohammed ...Read more

In 2022, politicians in Minneapolis and St. Paul voted for rent control.

I said that would lead to bigger problems.

Was I right?

My update video reveals what happened.

St. Paul politicians pushed rent control, saying rent caps would stop "unfair profiteering."

But what the heck is "profiteering," and how is it different from "profit"? Who...Read more

The U.S. Department of State is unambiguously stating that the Chinese Communist Party is committing genocide.

On Aug. 27, this writer sent some questions to the State Department Office of Press Operations through its online portal for media inquiries. One of these questions was: "Has the State Department concluded that China is continuing to...Read more

Just like the networks spent months helpfully skipping over the Nazi tattoo on the chest of Maine Democrat Graham Platner, they have largely ignored radical leftist influencer Hasan Piker, who has campaigned with Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. ABC and NBC haven't found him, while CBS broke the mold with two stories.

The "PBS News Hour" ...Read more

When American manufacturing was truly coming into its own in the early 20th century, workers sometimes labored 12-hour days seven days a week and risked life and limb working near dangerous machinery, while factories blackened the skies of American cities.

Yet some of the same people who insist that we need to reindustrialize to return to a ...Read more

Democrats are in a quandary over the Supreme Court. Every four years, they've warned their voters that electing a Republican president will lead to more conservative Supreme Court justices. And yet since Ronald Reagan's election in 1980 through today, they've lost more presidential elections than they've won. Maybe the voters are telling ...Read more

ARTHURDALE, West Virginia -- The road into this quiet Preston County community gives little warning that it was once the setting for one of the New Deal's most ambitious, and most debated, experiments.

Ninety-three years ago, Arthurdale became the first experimental community established under the federal subsistence-homesteads program, an ...Read more

This well-known rhetorical flourish at the beginning of the Declaration of Independence needs closer consideration.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," it states.

We have met the enemy -- and it is watching us.

There's a growing backlash against Flock cameras, the automated license plate readers that have become ubiquitous across the country.

The cameras take images of license plates, which are then stored in a searchable database that police departments can query in the course of investigations.

"Sex changes for minors. Do you support that?" Fox News host Jesse Watters recently asked Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed.

"So you think it's OK for a parent to slash his kid's ding-a-ling off?" Watters finally interjects.

"Are you circumcised?" El-Sayed asked.

"Circumcision's different than castration," Watters shot back....Read more

An important new book by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), "Going Further," calls attention anew to the life and career of the single greatest living American, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

For many years after Thomas arrived on the court in the early 1990s, his conservative, originalist views were relegated to dissenting opinions. Three and ...Read more

In April of 2020, San Clemente, Calif., dumped 37 tons of sand into a skate park to keep teenagers out of it. Down the coast, deputies arrested a man for paddleboarding alone in the Pacific Ocean. Towns unbolted basketball rims. The mayor of Los Angeles told Angelenos that snitches get rewards, and, God help us, people snitched. Then Gavin ...Read more
