This is a story about America. Our country. I went to the opening day of a soccer game in my hometown of San Diego. It was the first game in the history of our club—the San Diego Football Club—and there was a lot of hype. MILITARY PARADE DRAWS PATRIOTIC AMERICANS FROM NEAR AND FAR: ‘NO […] ...

The first time I remember celebrating the Fourth of July was during the American bicentennial in 1976. As children living in New York City, my parents woke my sisters and I up early to see the Parade of Tall Ships as it entered the Hudson River. Even as a kid, this magnificent display conveyed to […] ...

For the first time, after decades of trying, Republicans appear on the verge of defunding PBS and NPR over the wild left-wing bias of their news reporting, and remarkably, rather than promising changes, the progressive elites in charge are doubling down on Trump derangement. It’s all happening even as Congress considers a rescission bill from […] ...

Former CIA Director John Brennan was once my boss. Given what we just learned in a shocking new report about his role in the Trump Russia hysteria, he should be in prison. Here’s why. The CIA released fresh details yesterday about the creation nearly 10 years ago of the agency’s Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) of Russia’s […] ...

For years now, the far-Left has been escalating its attacks against our Founding Fathers, the 4th of July, and the American flag. They have literally called for the canceling of all three. But…as long as we continue to celebrate our most significant and cherished holiday, the far-Left is more than happy to exploit it. That said, they have […] ...

This week, the University of Pennsylvania succumbed to reality and the Trump administration in an agreement that saw the school ban men from women’s sports and strip trans swimmer Lia Thomas of his records.

Despite it being widely known by anyone who can think two steps ahead that price controls have negative consequences, politicians can’t help but continue to promote price controls as policy.  With Americans facing increased costs of living, there has been a return to calling for minimum wage hikes from democratic socialists like New York City […] ...

First President Donald Trump dropped the Midnight Hammer on Iran’s nuclear program, courtesy of the B-2 bombers. Then, four days later Trump dropped the hammer on NATO. With threats, charm and the momentum of victory, Trump pushed NATO’s European allies to pledge to spend 5% of their GDP on defense – the single biggest jump […] ...

Much has been written in recent days about the war of words between Supreme Court justices Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown-Jackson in the opinions handed down in Trump v. Casa, Inc., the case involving an injunction issued in a case challenging birthright citizenship. But as I pointed out in a Post on X Friday […] ...

June was a wild month. We had the good June – June Lockhart of “Lassie” and “Petticoat Junction” turning 100 (Salute!). Then, there was the bad June – riots in LA, military action in Iran and a socialist winning the Democratic mayoral primary in New York, New York (no longer my kind of town). The […] ...

Last month, Vice President JD Vance visited Los Angeles. No, not to better coordinate with local law enforcement frustrated after the dangerous lack of communication coming from the Trump administration as they keep Marines and National Guardsmen in Los Angeles.  Instead, the vice president came to escalate a crisis of President Trump’s own making and […] ...

This story discusses suicide. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten’s exit from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) after 23 years exposes a little-known truth: teachers unions are practically an appendage of the Democratic Party. Her departure, paired with National Education Association (NEA) President Becky Pringle’s ongoing role as an at-large DNC member, reveals a relationship that’s less about […] ...

In times like this, you hear the concern from your neighbors. You talk about it with people at the gym.

Thanks to President Donald Trump, America is building again. And we’re building big, beautiful infrastructure beyond our roads and bridges for the planes of the 21st century.

On Tuesday, New York City’s Democrat voters chose as their nominee for mayor, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, who ran on a socialist platform that at times made Sen. Bernie Sanders look like an editor at National Review. Among the insane socialist programs Mamdani has floated are city owned grocery stores just like in Cuba, replacing police […] ...

While the world breathes easier following the ceasefire with Iran, families like mine are still holding our breath — because my brother, and 49 other hostages, are still underground in Gaza, waiting to come home. For almost two weeks, as Iran escalated its attacks, our families lived through a dual nightmare. When Iran’s missiles first […] ...

Buried in the budget reconciliation package recently passed by the House is a moratorium that would block every U.S. state from passing laws on artificial intelligence or automation for the next decade. Why would lawmakers try to sneak a 10-year ban on AI regulation into a budget bill? No surprise, it’s money. There’s big money […] ...
