If you haven't watched the Bret Baier interviews on Fox News with Elon Musk and the other executives who have given their time and expertise to exposing the rampant fraud and inefficiency of our federal government, I urge you to do so.

It will infuriate you -- and that's what we need right now.

These Department of Government Efficiency ...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- I occasionally find myself speaking to Latino immigrants, legal and otherwise.

I don't waste time telling those folks about their rights. That information is important, but they can get it from immigration lawyers or Spanish-language media.

Instead, I tell the migrants about something they're not likely to hear much about while ...Read more

Even Chicken Little would be exhausted trying to keep up with what Democrats claim President Donald Trump wants to do.

Just look at the news. On Tuesday, Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., said that Republican cuts to SNAP "are the difference between life and death for the many in the communities that we serve." SNAP is the rebranded food stamps ...Read more

HOMER CITY, Pennsylvania -- On March 22 at 7 a.m., Shawn Steffee stood on a hill overlooking the Homer City Generating Station with his family and the community he grew up with. They were all looking at Pennsylvania's largest coal-fired power plant for the last time -- the plant he and his father, uncles, brother and the union he had guided ...Read more

Is it worth it to the United States to enforce freedom of navigation on the seas?

That question was a subplot in the instantly famous leaked Signal chat over an operation to hit Houthi targets in Yemen.

Vice President J.D. Vance expressed skepticism, noting that more European than U.S. trade passes through the Suez Canal. Defense Secretary ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- It's not what DOGE is doing; it's how DOGE is doing it. That's been the Beltway take on the dream child of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, the Department of Government Efficiency. Or, "the so-called Department of Government Efficiency," as The New York Times put it.

That's probably why Musk and DOGE lieutenants sat down ...Read more

Remember the movie "City Slickers"?

Billy Crystal asked for the secret to life. Jack Palance said, "One thing."

President Donald Trump is the G.O.A.T. (the greatest of all time). His first two months have been a work of art. My fans love him. But one thing is missing. One thing that matters above all else:

WHERE ARE THE ARRESTS?

Because I ...Read more

When I first came across Jonathan Chait's new Atlantic piece, "Why the COVID Reckoning Is So One-Sided," I assumed the answer would be that Democrats had been the ones relentlessly and tragically wrong about virtually everything during the pandemic. No such luck.

In Chait's telling, the Left remains uncannily open-minded, always striving for ...Read more

Much has been written about the Trump team's assault on civil society, universities, public health, the judiciary and our global alliances, and rightly so -- but there is one danger that deserves more attention because our ability to thwart this attempted revolution, this upending of our constitutional system, depends upon truth itself.

We ...Read more

The venerable logical principle known as "Occam's razor," attributed to the 14th-century English philosopher and theologian William of Ockham, asserts that when confronted with multiple possible explanations for a causal phenomenon, the simplest explanation is -- absent persuasive evidence to the contrary -- usually correct.

Although hardly ...Read more

Two wrongs do not make a right. There's really no argument on that point. But morality, morals, right, wrong and politics are easy to grapple with from the sidelines when you are inclined to think both political parties have lost their minds. Thus we arrive at the group chat from hell.

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz created a Signal ...Read more

Down in the basement of the Capitol on March 26, I witnessed in person an episode of government accountability that upset liberal journalists. That's because it was conservatives holding leftist "public" media networks accountable.

The House DOGE subcommittee questioned PBS CEO Paula Kerger and NPR CEO Katherine Maher about their daily deluge ...Read more

"Imagine boarding a train in the center of a city," former President Barack Obama rhapsodized in April 2009. "No racing to an airport and across a terminal, no delays, no sitting on the tarmac, no lost luggage, no taking off your shoes. Imagine whisking through towns at speeds over 100 miles an hour, walking only a few steps to public ...Read more

President Donald Trump is using every tool he has to challenge woke practices in America -- and he has a lot of them.

Notably, none of the mechanisms that the president is using were put in place by conservatives for leverage against progressive institutions.

No, Trump is simply availing himself of the vast federal apparatus created by ...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- They say the cover-up can be worse than the crime. And in politics, the spin can do more damage than the scandal.

At this point, what needs to happen next really isn't that difficult.

If the Trump administration would simply acknowledge -- even in gutless Beltway speak -- that "mistakes were made" and offer assurances that said ...Read more

"I disagree with what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it."

-- Voltaire (1694-1778)

When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he included in it a list of the colonists' grievances with the British government. Notably absent were any complaints about infringement upon speech.

In those days, ...Read more

What would you call an organization that collects money from the public and distributes it to organizations that fund riots that result in billions of dollars in damages, that transfer the money to bail out criminals who ultimately kill and victimize innocent Americans, that support terrorist organizations and that pay for people that engage ...Read more
