Claudia Sheinbaum, the hand-picked successor of Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, will be the next president of Mexico. Unfortunately, that means U.S.-Mexico relations remain on a dangerous course that has empowered drug cartels and brought skyrocketing overdoses and uncontrolled migration to the United States. Sheinbaum owes her victory almost entirely to Lopez Obrador’s highly popular government,…

Nearly 14 months after the first of four unprecedented criminal prosecutions against former President Donald Trump commenced in earnest, the Democrat-lawfare complex got its man: The Soviet show trial in “Justice” Juan Merchan’s dingy New York City courtroom produced its preordained “guilty” verdict. It is perhaps hackneyed to observe that, in convicting and seeking to…

The day Merrick Garland was set to appear before Congress, The Wall Street Journal ran a piece exploring the attorney general’s “by-the-book, play-no-favorites approach.” This rendering of Garland conflicts with reality. Even now, Garland is refusing to hand over audio recordings of President Joe Biden’s interviews with then-special counsel Robert Hur over the president’s hoarding…

I know what it’s like to be pregnant and homeless. It’s why I now devote my time to helping young women in similar situations.   Shortly after graduating from high school in 2005, I learned that I was pregnant. Family members, driven by fear, pressured me to get an abortion, convinced that my having a child so…

A House panel held a hearing last month examining how the Biden White House colluded with Big Tech platforms to censor speech about COVID-19 and the 2020 presidential election. Exposing these past abuses was a good start for the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. But now, the same forces are…

In our modern political dumpster fire, there has never been an art so refined and illustrious as pointless pearl-clutching.  In this, the ninth year of 2016, most everyone is fairly desensitized to the political drama emanating from the Left’s ardent claims that any conservative policy or protest is an appeal to fascism as their own…

The truth is out there. Aliens are registering and voting in American elections. For anyone who cares to see it, the truth is available in public records in election offices across the nation. But unfortunately, those who expose the truth about voting by aliens—illegal immigrants or not—are subjected to ridicule and an onslaught from the…

Whether a flag on the moon or the Stars and Stripes at Iwo Jima, boldness in service of our values has been America’s calling card since the Revolutionary War. So, it’s fitting that, on June 6, we commemorate the American and Allied heroism of 80 years ago Thursday, as our troops set out to roll back…

It’s easy to see why the Americans who served and fought during World War II are called the Greatest Generation. Driven by a profound love for America, they offered their all, including their lives, in defense of this nation. The values they fought for back in 1944 are still worth defending today. As we commemorate…

Carrie Sheffield is known within conservative journalism circles as a talented columnist and broadcaster. She is a graduate of Harvard University and a senior policy analyst at the Independent Women’s Forum, but many who have followed Sheffield’s work were surprised to learn of her harrowing childhood, detailed in her new memoir.  Growing up, Sheffield attended…

The mayor of Miami has an ambitious goal—to reach a “functional zero” homeless population within his bustling city.  “We reached functional zero veteran homeless, and I realized … that we could, we should, take it a step further and get to a functional zero,” says Mayor Francis Suarez, a Republican who leads Florida’s second-biggest city….

The Southern Poverty Law Center released its annual list of “hate groups” and “antigovernment extremist groups” Tuesday, and many conservatives say they are disappointed to be left out. As I wrote in my book “Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center,” the SPLC has squandered its credibility on hate. It gained…

The Washington Post is melting down and the reason might surprise you. Actually, no it won’t. Just kidding. The Washington Post is melting down because it leaned hard into the Year Zero cultural revolution that’s completely transformed almost every elite institution in the past several years and the newspaper is now bleeding money.  People are…

Earlier this year, Joe Biden’s campaign manager said, “We are running a campaign like the fate of our democracy depends on it.” That’s a heady statement, but an intentional one. The president himself uses the term “our democracy” frequently, as do most progressive politicians and pundits as they wring their hands about the coming election….

It’s not every day that a pro-Second Amendment group gets a resounding victory at the Supreme Court, with a unanimous opinion authored by a justice who thinks there’s no individual right to keep and bear arms, no less. And yet, last week, that’s exactly what happened, with the nation’s highest court handing the National Rifle…
