President Donald Trump recently floated a fantastic idea: Arab nations, he said, should accept large numbers of Gazans as refugees, a move that "could be temporary or long term."

At last week's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, President Donald Trump mixed compelling pro-growth talking points with his signature streak of aggressive protectionism. It's safe to say that these two ideas are officially on a collision course.

The anti-Trump media seems partially paralyzed following President Donald Trump's reelection last November and particularly since his inauguration on Jan. 20.

An going principle of America's democratic republic is e pluribus unum. Out of many, one.

We honor and respect the uniqueness of every citizen. But we also have a common turf, a common set of transcendent values, that brings us together and we become one nation.

Sometimes, cracks appear. Sometimes, they grow and get larger and deeper. Things...Read more

The Left would rather cage poor kids in failing schools than give them a better choice.
