HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania -- Some people are different in person than they are online. Not Scott Presler. He is as kind, soft-spoken and charismatic in person as he is when he posts about his mission to register voters as Republicans in Pennsylvania. This is true whether he is here at the Farm Show Complex or any of the scores of other events I...Read more

The spectacular dominance of America's Magnificent Seven tech firms -- with $1 trillion-plus market caps -- has been a marvel to behold and a genuine source of American pride. This is a theme that both President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance have in celebration of American business prowess.

The Magnificent Seven companies -- Amazon, ...Read more

Europe has been warned, and warned again.

Still, it has been reduced to a near-fainting fit -- and, in the case of one German official, actual tears -- over the Trump administration's tough words about its deficient military spending and U.S. moves to begin negotiating on its own with Russia over the Ukraine war.

In response, French ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Sunday night's "SNL50: The Anniversary Special" celebrated the long-running NBC show as you knew it would -- with the soothing reassurance to its ostensibly liberal viewers that they own comedy and that, in their world, the right's only place in their orbit is as the butt of their self-satisfied jokes.

Even though President ...Read more

The world just changed. I never thought I'd live long enough to see this day. America is about to take the red pill! This nation is about to find out some ugly truths about vaccines in general! The deadly COVID vaccine in particular!

The crimes of Dr. Anthony Fauci and Big Pharma, along with their greedy, criminal Ponzi scheme friends at the ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- "My uncle started USAID in 1961, for humanitarian purposes, to put our country on the side of the poor," Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pronounced Thursday at the White House as he was sworn in as Health secretary.

"It has been captured by the military industrial complex. It has become a sinister propagator of totalitarianism" across the...Read more

America, unfortunately, has long been suffering from a crisis of civics. Put simply, many Americans are woefully ignorant about the structure and features of their government. But every so often, an opportunity emerges to reteach some basics. The media's predictable shrieks and howls of "constitutional crisis" notwithstanding, we are in the ...Read more

Because of their modern designs, we might be led to believe that electric cars are technological marvels. But, really, most of the purported conveniences and innovations of new EVs are already available in most standard gas-powered cars at a far cheaper price. EVs are, at best, a lateral technology for most consumers (if you never plan on ...Read more

One of the reasons I have long inveighed against "public" TV is its tendency to avoid authentic conservative opinion. For almost 20 years now, Exhibit A has been "PBS NewsHour" pundit David Brooks. PBS picked up Brooks as its supposedly right-leaning Friday night opinionator in 2004, shortly after he became a New York Times columnist in 2003.

As one who shared the hope, after the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, that representative government, guaranteed liberties and global capitalism laced with some measure of welfare state protections would spread across the globe, I naturally look back over the intervening long generation and ask what went wrong.

In the 1990s, it seemed...Read more

The Eagles victory was greeted joyously in our family. It's always a high when you (or your team) come out on top. But in the final minutes of the Super Bowl, as the clock remained stuck on the two-minute warning for what felt like 20 minutes (at least for those of us eager to pop the Champagne), former quarterback-turned-TV-commentator Tom ...Read more

"The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times and under all circumstances. No doctrine involving more pernicious consequences was ever invented by the wit of man than that any of its provisions can be suspended ...Read more

The NFL has yet again decided to desecrate the sacred American sport of football, a sport that has united Americans for decades, by playing the divisive Black national anthem before the Super Bowl.

The idea of their being a Black national anthem shouldn't rub anyone the wrong way. The song "Lift Every Voice and Sing" was first performed in ...Read more

America's debt crisis is no longer a distant concern; it's an immediate threat with immediate consequences. Some politicians -- perhaps realizing that it's become more difficult to ignore the problem and avoid repercussions -- are turning to executive action. This includes the Trump administration's embrace of Elon Musk's increasingly active ...Read more

Information about the appalling waste of American taxpayers' money continues to pour out like pus from a lanced boil. Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency team were tasked by the Trump administration with cleaning up the federal government, exposing and ending waste, fraud and outright theft. Right on cue, those whose ...Read more

The island is named Diego Garcia, the biggest little island in the Indian Ocean's isolated Chagos Archipelago.

Never heard of it? Consult the map -- it's south of India and kinda sorta between Indonesia (Java) and East Africa (Tanzania).

Nowhere? Recall the real estate agent's lingo for valuable acreage: Location, Location, Location.

In our...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Years ago, when I visited Pelican Bay State Prison on the northern coast of California, prison staff explained the rules. They gave me a stab vest and a handy piece of information: If I were taken hostage, prison officials would not negotiate for my release. I should know that before I entered the institution, they said.
