Now that Texas and South Carolina have passed school choice bills, parents will be able to choose the best school for their kids in 17 states.

Why not all states?

After all, competition improves services.

The Post Office couldn't get it there overnight. Then FedEx showed it can be done. Quickly, UPS and DHL did it, too, and now even ...Read more

Last month, President Donald Trump proudly announced, "Liberation Day! The day American industry was reborn!" Reborn because of his tariffs, which he called, "the most beautiful word in the dictionary." This is just wrong. The first time he was president, Trump raised tariffs on steel. That helped American steelmakers. They hired 1,000 more ...Read more

I have a conflict. I don't much like Linda McMahon, President Donald Trump's new Education Secretary. I sued her once. She and her sleazy husband, Vince, owned a circus called World Wrestling Entertainment. When I did a silly ABC news video on how the matches are staged, one of their 280-pound actors beat me up. A wrestler said Vince told him to...Read more

Government makes most things worse. Lyndon Johnson launched a War on Poverty; Richard Nixon a War on Drugs. Both had good intentions, but their "wars" do more harm than good. I believed the War on Poverty would lift people out of poverty. At the time I was a naive Princeton student who believed my professors when they said, "It's wrong that in ...Read more

"Climate change will make earth a living hell!" claims popular astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson. I don't believe him. The media say, "All Arctic ice will soon melt away! Polar bears are dying off! Global warming causes food shortages!" Bunk, bunk, bunk. They are addicted to scaring us. My new video covers four more myths about climate change: ...Read more

I guess United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres didn't think his hyping global warming risks brought him enough attention, so now he says, "The era of global boiling has arrived!" Global boiling? Give me a break. Yes, the climate is warming. We can deal with that. What annoys me is politicians, activists and media pushing ...Read more

Did you bet on March Madness? I did, and many of you did, too. Americans bet billions on NCAA tournaments. We also "spent $60 billion at casinos last year (and) about $12 billion on online sports betting," notes economist Jason Sorens in my new video. Sorens published a state-by-state ranking of gambling freedom across America. Nevada lets ...Read more

It's finally spring. Better mow your lawn. If you don't, your town government may fine you thousands of dollars a day. Worse, if you can't pay the fine, they may confiscate your home.

Six years ago, in Dunedin, Florida, Jim Ficken let his grass grow. His mom had died, and he'd left town to take care of her estate. He asked a friend to cut his ...Read more

President Donald Trump ended federal DEI programs. Even before, companies were having second thoughts. Victoria's Secret changed "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" to "inclusion and belonging." Now, even woke Disney, despite squandering 270 million shareholder dollars on a moronic new version of "Snow White," joined the mob of companies dropping ...Read more

President Donald Trump is deporting immigrants -- 11,000 last month. Some people are unhappy about that. Last week a judge ordered a stop to Trump's removal of Venezuelan nationals. (Deportation happened anyway.) I definitely want immigrant criminals deported. Trump says migrant crime is "happening at levels that nobody thought possible!" But ...Read more

Climate activists have found a new way to force us to pay more for energy. New York and Vermont passed laws that will raise the price of oil, gas and electricity by taxing the past. New York's new law demands fossil fuel companies pay $75 billion for carbon emissions dating back to the year 2000. Other Democrat-controlled states plan to ...Read more

America needs more rules to protect workers, say some from both parties. Sen. Josh Hawley wants more rules empowering unions. Barack Obama's Labor Secretary says there's "no fairness, no equity, no concern for safety, no concern for children, even!"

European countries, they say, have more laws protecting workers, and so "Europe is better."

Socialism is popular. A Pew study reports that more than a third of American adults view it positively. How is this possible? Little has brought more misery -- first in the Soviet Union, then in China, Cuba, Nicaragua, now Venezuela ... One reason young people support socialism is because their social media feeds show videos made by popular but ...Read more
