My question for you is: If you were around at the time, how many government restrictions and taxes would…

Iraq has been convulsed for the last week by widespread popular protests against government corruption, high unemployment, and inadequate government services. The risk grows that escalating violence associated with the protests could bring down Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi’s weak coalition government. The protesters, mainly in Baghdad and the Shiite-dominated south, are largely young people denouncing…

A rule of life is that everything the left touches it ruins: art, music, Christianity, Judaism, race relations, male-female relations, universities, high schools, elementary schools, late-night comedy, sports, liberty, journalism, the Boy Scouts, national economies, language, and everything else it influences. The left, not liberalism. (I have written a column and done a PragerU video…

The liberal media is once again taking off at breakneck pace to condemn President Donald Trump. The fake issue for their bogus outrage?

I can’t wrap my head around all that I’ve done to myself in the last two years, much less the “help” that some health care professionals have done to me. Two years ago, I was a healthy, beautiful girl heading toward high school graduation. Before long, I turned into an overweight, pre-diabetic nightmare of a…

Childhood used to be a time of innocence. But as our culture has become more and more sexualized, children have become the casualties of adult exploitation. The New York Times just reported that more than 45 million online photos and videos of children being sexually abused were reported by tech companies, more than double what…

President Donald Trump is making an ambitious move to build on a string of regulatory relief actions that “protect and improve” Medicare, the federal health care program that serves approximately 60 million senior and disabled persons. The president’s executive order, issued Thursday, is yet another step following a roadmap that’s leading to better choices and…
