For decades, K-12 schools have wandered away from a time-tested, research-based method of teaching reading: phonics. Student scores have plunged to historic lows, but some states are turning back to the practice of teaching letter sounds—if teacher unions do not spoil the efforts first. Phonics instructs children to identify letters and their pronunciation to construct…

The Trump administration continues to push hard to acquire Greenland and for good reason. On Sunday the White House announced that second lady Usha Vance would be visiting Greenland to observe a sled race and tour historic sites. White House national security adviser Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright will be visiting as well. Greenland’s outgoing,…

While the Food and Drug Administration has finally taken steps to close a regulatory loophole regarding “poppers” and amyl nitrate, at the 11th hour, right before President Donald Trump’s FDA commissioner has taken office, it hasn’t advanced significant regulatory action on illicit marketing and abuse of nitrous oxide.  Nitrous oxide (also referred to as laughing gas) has a…

Conservatives have a rare reason to cheer the United States Postal Service: It is releasing a stamp in honor of one of the godfathers of American conservatism, William F. Buckley Jr., this fall. This new stamp is fitting and timely for several reasons. Bill, as he was known to friends and colleagues, was a prolific, bountiful letter writer. He relished corresponding regularly with allies and adversaries alike—and with exacting graciousness and generosity….

Elon Musk is helping President Donald Trump rein in profligate, reckless, and corrupt federal spending via the new Department of Government Efficiency. Democrats are not amused. Left-wing domestic terrorists have responded by firing bullets into the windshields of electric vehicles at Musk’s Tesla dealerships. They have torched Tesla charging stations, set Teslas ablaze in parking lots, and…

I expected Disney’s new “Snow White” live action film to be woke, but what I was ultimately shocked by was how much of a complete nonsensical mess it was. Prepare yourself for spoilers of a film you’re never going to want to see. My review will be similar to what I just watched, full of…

Democrats have weaponized conspiracy theories to silence opponents and avoid political debate. That’s the thesis of David Harsanyi‘s latest book, “The Rise of BlueAnon: How the Democrats Became a Party of Conspiracy Theorists.” In an interview with The Daily Signal, Harsanyi said Democrats have mastered the art of packaging implausible ideas—from Russian collusion to comparing…

When members of Congress return from recess this week, they will face challenges in their efforts to effect legislative change. The GOP is attempting to codify President Donald Trump’s ambitious agenda with narrow majorities in the House and Senate, all while a growing faction of Democrats is pushing for leadership to resist Trump even more. The…

Fear is a strong motivator—especially when it’s given a political megaphone. And Democrat officials, public employee unions, and their minions in the media have no qualms about trying to terrify the public with ridiculous claims in an attempt to counter President Donald Trump’s swamp-cleansing initiatives through the work of the Department of Government Efficiency.    Just…

For decades, leftist activists deftly navigated corporate shareholder meetings, successfully bullying risk-averse corporate executives into submission on everything from irrational climate mandates to divisive race and gender-based initiatives.     Conservatives played catch up, with The Heritage Foundation at the tip of the spear against corporate wokeism in publicly traded companies.   With decades as an influential think…

At his 2005 Senate confirmation hearing to be chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, John Roberts famously invoked America’s national pastime in describing his view of the judicial role in our constitutional order: “Judges are like umpires. Umpires don’t make the rules, they apply them. The role of an umpire and a judge…
