In Springfield, Illinois, in 1838, a young Abraham Lincoln delivered a powerful speech decrying the "ravages of mob law" throughout the land. Lincoln warned, in eerily prescient fashion, that the spread of a then-ascendant "mobocratic spirit" threatened to sever the "attachment of the People" to their fellow countrymen and their nation. ...Read more

Renee Good died on Wednesday in Minneapolis. She had been attempting to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents engaged in federal law enforcement activities. Along with other protestors, Good involved herself in what federal agents were doing and used her car to block them. Confronted by federal agents, Good accelerated with an agent...Read more

What is going on in the People's Republic of Minnesota? The Democrat establishment in the Gopher State is nothing like it was back in the Reagan years, with ex-Vice President Walter Mondale or Gov. Rudy Perpich. The insurrectionist echoes of their language about immigration-enforcement cops are eyebrow-raising in the same week the elitist media ...Read more

Finally, the United States will follow through on its NATO commitments.

That'd be the cheeky interpretation of President Donald Trump's announcement, via Truth Social, that he wants the U.S. defense budget to be $1.5 trillion. This would represent a stunning 50% increase over the current budget and put the U.S. right around 5% of GDP, the ...Read more

The United States invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro, the domestically recognized Venezuelan president, violated the U.S. Constitution and international law.

The Constitution makes clear that only Congress can authorize a foreign invasion. In the pre-World War II era, Congress declared war on countries that attacked the U.S....Read more

Dictator and narco-terrorist Nicolas Maduro was captured by U.S. forces in a thrilling nighttime raid on his palace in Caracas, Venezuela, in an operation codenamed Operation Absolute Resolve. The mission involved over 150 aircraft launched from around 20 bases across the hemisphere. It neutralized much of Venezuela's air defenses, cut power in ...Read more

Growing national outrage over Minnesota's welfare fraud is justified, but not because of where it took place or because it implicates members of any immigrant community. It's much more than a "Minnesota" story.

The outrage is justified because Americans are finally getting a concrete look at what happens when pushing public money out the door...Read more

What a news cycle we're having. In just the past week, we've had exposure of massive fraud in the state of Minnesota, the U.S. military's removal of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, widespread protests across Iran calling for the end of the Islamic regime, and the swearing in of New York City's new socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani.

These ...Read more

Something crucial happened with President Donald Trump's recent actions in Venezuela. In fact, taken together with his earlier moves abroad, they mark the substantive death of what might be called the "Iraq syndrome" -- a paralyzing mindset that has distorted American foreign policy for more than two decades.

The Iraq syndrome emerged after ...Read more

One great irony is that deposed Venezuelan socialist despot Nicolas Maduro sits in jail in New York City, where a new socialist mayor, inaugurated a few days ago, extols the "warmth of collectivism" rather than the "frigidity of rugged individualism."

No warm, cuddly collectivist has ever nor will ever perform a mission like rugged American ...Read more

The Pentagon's special operations arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro rates as a legend-making commando snatch raid. No U.S. fatalities. Zero. The dictator-drug lord and his criminal consort were seized and brought to U.S. soil for trial. Reportedly, scores of Maduro's trusted bodyguards died defending him, which suggests several ...Read more

With the geniuses we have in Congress, no problem should be too tough to solve, whether it's inflation, health care costs, war or disease.

Ten members ended 2025 with stock market returns far exceeding the S&P, the Dow, the Nasdaq or what legendary stock pickers like Warren Buffet achieve. Rep. Tim Moore (R-N.C.) earned 52% on his stock ...Read more

Many popular movies make a constructive point: If you work hard enough and push through tough times, you can achieve your dreams. In "The Pursuit of Happyness," a struggling father tells his son, "Don't let anyone tell you, you can't do something." The movie is a true story about a man who overcomes homelessness and gets his dream job. In "Rocky...Read more

It was almost six years ago -- during the COVID-19 pandemic -- that then-Attorney General Bill Barr called a "virtual press conference" to announce that the Justice Department was taking action against Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela.

"Today, I am here to talk about the former Maduro regime and its direct participation in narco-terrorism, ...Read more

The British socialist newspaper The Guardian is upset that CBS News might become less radical, publishing an article provocatively titled "'Blood in the water': Bari Weiss's chaotic first three months in charge of CBS News."

This spin announces an agenda: Weiss Must Be Stopped! The Left cannot stand any outlet on their side moving two degrees ...Read more

The Trump administration took a well-deserved victory lap last week for repealing more than 100 Biden-era rules for every new regulation. This will save U.S. businesses potentially hundreds of billions of dollars of unnecessary costs. Gone are discriminatory racial preferences, Green New Deal mandates and electric vehicle mandates -- to name a...Read more

America Needs More Masculinity

Society has spent decades telling boys that masculinity is toxic, and now there's a shortage of skilled tradesmen. The connection should be obvious.

Through his on-again, off-again ...Read more
