What Happened to West Point? - Douglas Andrews (3/17/2024)

The Left's Flawed Response to School Fights - Scarlen Valderaz (3/16/2024)

'Activism' Is Not an Educational Goal - Auguste Meyrat (3/15/2024)
Ever since Barack Obama entered the Oval Office, activism has become wrongly associated with education, leadership, and civic duty. Obama always told young people to follow his example by disrupting the status quo, spreading awareness, and protesting.

President and Congress Need an Intervention - Cal Thomas (3/14/2024)
Their addiction to spending exceeds anything seen in history. Basic economics appears among the casualties of what is not taught in today's public schools and universities.

A $7.3 Trillion Nightmare - Nate Jackson (3/13/2024)
When Biden took office, the national debt was $27.7 trillion, but here we are, $34.5 trillion in debt and counting, and all President Fiscal Responsibility wants to do is tax more and spend even more than that.

Government Gone Wild - Chris Talgo (3/12/2024)
Incredibly, for the citizens of Minnesota, it could soon be against the law to paint a wall, ceiling, or anything else for that matter inside one's own home without a licensed painter present.

Politicians Excel at Lying - Cal Thomas (3/11/2024)
When it comes to Washington (the city, not George), if you never trust a politician you will never be disappointed.

The Renewable Scam - John Stossel (3/10/2024)
"We're building a clean energy future," says President Joe Biden. Who is "we"? Well, you pay for it. He and his "green" cronies do most of the building.

Unconstitutional FISA Warrants Must Be Blocked Irrespective of Spending Bills - Ken Blackwell (3/9/2024)
Supporters of the status quo know that a bill that reauthorizes FISA with no reforms would have a very hard time passing as a standalone bill. So they've been looking at options to insert them into federal spending bills.

The Left-Right Divide Is Not Bridgeable - Dennis Prager (3/8/2024)
Millions of Americans, depressed by the ideological divide in America, harbor a wish that something or someone can bridge this divide. This wish is understandable. But it is fantasy.

The Migrant Surge Brings Killers and Criminal Gangs - Betsy McCaughey (3/7/2024)
Public safety is visibly spiraling downward: migrants beating cops in Times Square, migrants running prostitution rings, migrants on mopeds robbing pedestrians, migrants shoplifting and stripping retail stores.

n a much anticipated, historic opinion Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously reversed Colorado's highest court and restored former President Donald Trump to the ballot for the state's presidential primary Tuesday.

The Day Joe Biden Blew Up the Border - Rich Lowry (3/6/2024)

American Paralysis and Decline - Victor Davis Hanson (3/5/2024)
Societies do not always collapse from a lack of wealth, invasion, or natural catastrophes. Most often, they know what is destroying them.

If This Is 'Christian Nationalism,' Sign Me Up! - David Harsanyi (3/4/2024)
"Christian nationalism" sounds identical to the case for American liberty offered in the Declaration of Independence. Then again, the idea that man has inalienable, universal rights goes back to ancient Greece, at least.

Inside the Latest Biden Showdown With Second Amendment Devotees - James Bovard (3/3/2024)
Biden is denouncing "the rising tide of extremism" and demonizing American gun owners to boost his re-election campaign. He wants to outlaw rifles with an arbitrary list of characteristics he labels "assault weapon." Oh, we never, ever learn.

NFL Has Become a Woke, Discriminatory, Anti-American Institution - Hans von Spakovsky (3/2/2024)
The racist, discriminatory move is part of the "woke" agenda pushed by the radical ideologues who have invaded so many of our institutions. They hate this nation, its culture, and its history, and they think America is the source of all the world's ev

Taxation Without Reason - John Stossel (3/1/2024)
American colonists started a revolution partly over taxes. They raided British ships and dumped their tea into the Boston Harbor to protest a tax of "3 pennies per pound."

How Corrupt Are Democrats? This Corrupt... - David Strom (2/29/2024)

Middle America Is Dying Hard - Salena Zito (2/28/2024)
We are heading once again into an election where very few people in Washington truly understand how remarkably devastating an industrial plant closure is. Instead, it is a wire story at best, soon forgotten if measured at all.

While Biden Pushes Ukraine To Fight, He Demands Israel Surrender - David Harsanyi (2/27/2024)
While Ukraine is prodded by the U.S. to fight for every inch of its land, Israel is prodded to commit suicide. Anyone who dares to suggest the United States push Ukraine to negotiate a settlement with Russia is framed as a democracy-hating Putin shill.

Biden's Nonsensical Immigration Bill - Armstrong Williams (2/26/2024)
A masterpiece of duplicity is President Joe Biden. You would assume that after decades in the Senate, he would have gained some knowledge of how to legislate. But no.

Migrant Crime Is Turning Cities Into War Zones - Betsy McCaughey (2/22/2024)
Gang members recruit migrants from shelters and as they come off buses from Texas, putting them to work in retail theft rings or on mopeds grabbing phones and handbags and roughing up pedestrians.

Is Tucker Carlson Right About America's Cities? - Laura Hollis (2/21/2024)
How did it happen? How did the quality of life in American cities become so awful? It is leftism — its philosophy and politics — in action.

The Biden, Schumer, Romney Foreign Aid Budget Buster - Stephen Moore (2/20/2024)
If spending more on Israel and Ukraine is such a vital priority for America, surely we could cut a mere 2 cents out of the dollar from every other program to pay for it.

America Is At War With Itself and Abroad - Andrew P. Napolitano (2/19/2024)
America today epitomizes a culture of death. At home, America is at war with itself. The government permits the slaughter of babies in the womb and teaches children in government schools how to change genders.

The Left and Chaos - Dennis Prager (2/18/2024)
It is impossible to understand what is happening to America — and to the rest of the West — without understanding the most dynamic ideology of the last hundred years: leftism.

The 25th Amendment and a Disabled President - Hans von Spakovsky (2/17/2024)

Biden's Middle East Anti-Strategy - Reid Smith (2/15/2024)
The president and Congress might consider restoring American forces to a position of strength by redeploying those left in harm's way. If they can imagine an alternative to leaving them hostage to adversaries in search of something to shoot at.

America Is in Deep Trouble - Matthew Continetti (2/14/2024)
Here's why America is in trouble. We are headed toward a general-election showdown that the public would prefer to avoid. And the Democratic incumbent's condition is growing worse.

An Open Border Policy Is Not a Biblical Mandate - Joseph Backholm (2/13/2024)
Within Christian circles, the political debate has been happening in tandem with a theological debate where some appear to be arguing that allowing open borders is a matter of Christian love. That misses a key point.

This Gridlock Is a Feature, Not a Bug - Erick Erickson (2/12/2024)
The critics are screaming about dysfunction and disarray. The Founders look and laugh. Their marvelous design has worked yet again to slow, to refine and to define the necessary and proper bounds of the leviathan called American government.

The Fall of Rome, Updated - Ann Coulter (2/11/2024)
Third-worlders killed three Americans in Jordan over the weekend, and our political establishment is ready to start World War III. Which is more of a national security threat: terrorists 6,000 miles away, or our wide-open border?

Limiting Lawbreakers Is Still Lawbreaking - Cal Thomas (2/10/2024)
Solving the border problem is not complicated, though politicians have made it so, as is usually the case when government is involved. Finishing the wall and restoring the Remain in Mexico policy of the Trump administration would have an immediate effect.

All 9 Supreme Court Justices Question Activists' Effort to Kick Trump Off Ballot - Hans von Spakovsky (2/9/2024)
In what may be one of the most consequential election cases ever heard by the U.S. Supreme Court, the nine justices listened Thursday to oral arguments over the attempt by political activists to knock Donald Trump off the primary ballot in Colorado.

Guilt-Tripping Our Way to Self-Destruction - Laura Hollis (2/9/2024)
The country is falling apart. Crime is out of control. Millions of illegal immigrants are pouring across our borders. Our schools are more interested in cultivating gender dysphoria and a proclivity for porn in our children than in educating them.

Biden, the Senate, and the Border Fiasco - Byron York (2/8/2024)
Joe Biden is supposed to know something about legislating. After all, he spent 36 years in the U.S. Senate. He must have learned something in those decades. And yet Biden is the driving force behind one of the biggest Capitol Hill fiascos in years.

Biden's War Against the Internet - Stephen Moore (2/7/2024)
The Biden administration — which never saw an industry it didn't want to regulate and control — has deputized the Federal Communications Commission to police the internet. They are doing so under the guise of "preventing digital discrimina

The Marxism Behind the Open Border - Melissa MacKenzie (2/6/2024)
America's illegal immigration problem created by President Joe Biden's administration embodies an ideology and achieves a very specific purpose — one that receives nearly no mention because to note it would reveal the game.

Are Conservative Christians Too Political? - Everett Piper (2/5/2024)
