For years, climate alarmism has reigned as political catechism: The planet is burning, and only drastic action -- deindustrialization, draconian regulation, even ceasing childbearing -- could forestall certain apocalypse. Now, at least some signs are ...Read more

Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine promises he'll refile a war powers resolution in the Senate demanding President Donald Trump ask for congressional approval before launching any military strikes against Venezuela.

I am very willing to criticize President Donald Trump. From tariffs to some of his pardons to his behavior, I am not willing to serve as an apologist or yes-man. He is surrounded by those who will not truly challenge him. We all know the difference between superficial pretenses of pushback and genuine pushback. I suspect he doesn't actually ...Read more

Can the United States come up with an immigration policy that will prove sustainable? Two writers whom I respect and take delight in reading, despite their widely differing views, Tyler Cowen, who favors more immigration, and Christopher Caldwell, who favors less, have their doubts. Both, incidentally, are writing for The Free Press, Bari Weiss'...Read more

President Trump likes to tout his accomplishments, and saving the gas-powered car should be high on the list.

The president is ending a lunatic government campaign against the internal combustion engine, one of the defining mechanisms of our age.

When Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth posted a meme of Franklin the Turtle, the amiable child's cartoon character, in a helicopter using a military weapon to kill people in a small boat below him, and captioned it "For your Christmas wish list," it understandably caused an uproar.

The political landscape heading into the 2026 midterms is far more volatile than many Republicans want to admit. On paper, the GOP holds the advantage: the House majority, a favorable national mood on issues like immigration and crime, and an opposition party internally split between moderates and an increasingly aggressive progressive wing. ...Read more

Spend five minutes listening to the American Left's most theatrical tribunes -- Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- and you'll probably hear tales of a country on the verge of collapse, crushed by a rigged system that can be fixed only through a radical redesign of government. Then spend five minutes with the New ...Read more

A few weeks ago, commentator Peggy Tierney wrote a Substack piece in which she referenced a long article -- a profile piece -- written about Jeffrey Epstein in 2014 by well-known author and journalist Michael Wolff.

Democrats appear to have settled on a dual strategy heading into the 2028 election: Sow doubt within the military ranks, and present a slate of candidates who project moderation.

We just went through the longest government shutdown in history over contention regarding renewal of temporarily enacted government subsidies to Obamacare premiums.

This battle is not over. Eight Democrats threw in the towel and agreed to postpone the issue and cooperate with Republicans to get a continuing resolution passed to fund our ...Read more

Few people lie awake at night worried about the federal debt. So the Republicans' plan to allow "temporary" COVID-19-era enhanced subsidies for Obamacare to expire because of their exorbitant cost won't win many votes.

It will save Uncle Sam money. A staggering 93% of premiums are currently paid directly by the federal government to the ...Read more

Taxpayers should not be on the hook for this!" complains Heather Mac Donald, author of "When Race Trumps Merit." She argues that companies and ...Read more

Former President Joe Biden's record as commander in chief will forever be defined by Aug. 26, 2021.
