Ballroom, bunker, or boondoggle? What exactly is Trump building on the White House grounds?
On a warm, sunny Tuesday in May, President Donald Trump invited White House reporters to tour the work site of the crown jewel in his one-man effort to transform the nation’s capital to fit his vision of architectural beauty. Known in planning documents as the White House State Ballroom. But in donor pledge agreements, as “The Donald J. Trump Ballroom at the White House.”
My city says I need a license to pray at home. The Constitution says otherwise
In America, no one should need a governmental permit to pray. The Creator has already given us that right, and the First Amendment protects it. I learned this lesson through a fight I never expected — a fight that has resulted in an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Democrats sell their souls to defeat Susan Collins, of all people
Insomuch as it ever did, character matters less now in American politics than ever. Our history is littered with deeply flawed men. Andrew Jackson was wildly corrupt, and JFK had his many thinly veiled issues with women. Heck, Grover Cleveland married a woman 28 years his junior, whom he had known since birth. Scandals are nothing new.
Iran, India and China, the "Axis of Evil” Seeking to Destroy Millions of U.S. Manufacturing Jobs
The simple reality is Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and foreign countries like China and India must not buy Iranian oil. The most important lesson from the prolonged Strait of Hormuz closure is that an overreliance on foreign countries for critical products supporting U.S. economic and national security harms America.
Will Marco Rubio help this Afghan warrior rescue his family?
In May, Afghan Special Mission Wing pilot and U.S. asylee Wahidullah Wahdat learned that his wife was killed in a gunfight outside a money exchange in Kabul. The tragedy has now left Wahdat’s children, all under the age of 13, without parents inside Afghanistan. News of his wife’s death and Wahdat’s ties to the former Afghan military have run rampant on social media. American benefactors from the Afghan American Development Group are attempting to keep Wahdat’s children safe. Without action from the State Department, however, the children have no chance of being reunited with their father.
Congressional Republicans lose patience with Trump
Longtime Republican pollster Frank Luntz recently declared, “There is zero doubt tonight that Donald Trump is in complete and total control of the Republican Party.” His statement came after the president’s preferred candidate, Ken Paxton, primaried Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) in late May.
Why is the stock market breaking records while sentiment is low?

Graham Platner is unfit for duty
Some aspects of this affair reflect particularly on the Democrats, but certainly Platner’s vulgarity, boorishness, fecklessness, and defiant rejection of decent norms do not. As Jessica Tarlov, a Democratic Fox News contributor, noted this week, members of her party can hardly be blamed for rejecting lectures from Republicans, who have embraced President Donald Trump and who more recently gave the odious Ken Paxton a thumping victory over the decent and respectable Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) in the Texas primary.

Democrats nominate jihadi associate in 9/11 hero’s congressional district
The “red-green alliance” refers to the political Left’s reliance on Marxists and Islamists as vital, sometimes-overlapping electoral constituencies. This phenomenon is now common in Europe, and perhaps its most vivid American manifestation to date arrived in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, where Democrats nominated a Squad-style socialist and Islamist for Congress.
Blame DEI for Fairfax’s crazy school schedule
Millions of school children across the country are enjoying their summer vacations, but not the students of Fairfax County Public Schools, in Virginia, who still have almost two weeks of school ahead of them. A mid-June release date is not that uncommon for schools elsewhere, but those that end in June usually begin after Labor Day. That is not the case with Fairfax County Public Schools. Its schools start in August and run through June, the longest school year in America.
