I try to keep an open mind about policies and regulations that impact communities of color. After all, the government’s No. 1 priority should be the welfare of its people. But with interest groups now linking arms despite having little if anything to do with each other, it can be hard for the average person…

It might seem odd that in the midst of a border crisis caused by a massive surge of illegal immigration, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., reintroduced a bill to reform the legal immigration system.   But that move wasn’t out of step at all. America needs legal immigration reform—and not just because the current system is…

Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a self-described “socialist,” is doubling down on his efforts to give federal officials total control over Americans’ health care. The senator has just unveiled the Medicare for All Act of 2019 with 13 leading Senate Democrats, including fellow contenders for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination: Sens. Cory Booker of New…

A full-blown war is raging against the Electoral College. But as activist groups become more desperate to overturn our way of electing presidents before voters go the polls in November 2020, their arguments become more absurd and hyperbolic.

Historically speaking, there was always much to lament regarding…

America lost one of its greatest national security assets with the passing last month of Andrew W. Marshall. He was an American foreign policy strategist, defense analyst, and director of the Office of Net Assessment in the Office of the Secretary of Defense from 1973 to 2015, working into his 90s. Marshall’s extraordinary career spanned…

As Americans file their taxes this April, they might be in for a surprise: Most Americans got a tax cut last year. It shouldn’t be a surprise given the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, but unfortunately, the media have produced a never–ending deluge of misleading or inaccurate reporting on the issue. Last year,…

In a recent op-ed, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg implored the state to get more involved in governing the internet. “Every day, we make decisions about what speech is harmful, what constitutes political advertising, and how to prevent sophisticated cyberattacks,” he said. “These are important for keeping our community safe. But if we were starting from…

Bianca Stanescu’s daughter, Selina, competes in high school track. But transgender athletes are now competing with Selina as well—and it could affect her future in the sport, as well as whether she’s seen by college recruiters.
