A recent House hearing aimed to shed light on America’s border fiasco, but made only one thing clear. Rather than acknowledge the problem, let alone pursue real solutions, the Left cares only what words are used and labels anything it dislikes as racist—ignoring the fact that the drug cartels don’t discriminate. American citizens are being…

OXON HILL, Md.—Many young women and girls cross the southern border carrying “morning after” pills, also known as Plan B, because “they know they’re going to be raped,” Tom Homan says.   “Some young ladies are being raped as you and I are talking,” Homan, who was acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under…

President Joe Biden’s Medicare budget proposals are a tiresome combination of misrepresentations and focus-grouped scare tactics, plus old-fashioned tax increases and Medicare payment cuts. Indeed, Biden’s remarks have simply reaffirmed Washington’s Medicare policy for most of the program’s history. It’s the policy strategy that has worsened the program’s financial problems while threatening seniors’ access to…

A state court judge has ruled that USA Powerlifting discriminated against a biological male athlete who identifies as a woman when it banned him from competing in its women’s division.

Now to the rescue comes a functioning branch of representative democracy. State governments, particularly…

In their renewed attempt to ratify the so-called Equal Rights Amendment, Senate Democrats are quick to erase 50-plus years of progress and opportunity for women. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, shamelessly mocked the accomplishments of thousands of female athletes as he joked Feb. 28 about the “fate of field hockey”…

President Joe Biden does not understand the threat China poses to America, according to Sen. Rick Scott.  “He pacifies [Chinese President Xi Jinping] all the time,” Scott, R-Fla., says of Biden’s relationship with the leader of the Chinese Communist Party.  China and Russia pose a threat to American freedom, Scott says, because “both of them…

A recent Gallup poll shows Americans see the government as the top problem facing the nation. For the most vulnerable Americans this may be especially true as new research shows that excessive government burden is having a negative impact on the organizations that struggling individuals and families rely on: charities. For the first time, a new study…

Economist Milton Friedman’s maxim that “nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program” applies to work visas that are supposed to be temporary.
