As a U.S. senator, Vice President Kamala Harris had a remarkably slim record of accomplishments, shepherding only a handful of minor resolutions across the finish line. But that’s far from the last word on her legislative record. In fact, two bills she introduced (that went nowhere) may best define her past, and potential future, priorities...
At Sturges Speakeasy in Harrisburg, the dulcet tones of Neutral Milk Hotel were playing as I nibbled on my excellent ahi tuna starter before heading to the Trump rally at the Pennsylvania Farm Arena. It was the calm before the Trumpian storm. There I met Larry, in a Notre Dame football T-shirt, and a few...
America’s declining birthrate is a far greater risk to our future than, say, climate change. Yet most politicians are too scared to talk about it. Now, it’s apparently taboo. The entire Democratic Party and all their media allies have spent the past week smearing vice presidential nominee JD Vance as “weird” because he dared to...
With the U.S. military mired in a historic recruiting crisis, and global tensions at their highest point since World War II, now would be a good time to keep as many troops in uniform as possible. Unfortunately, the Biden administration’s reckless discharge of more than 75,000 military personnel in the name of compliance with vaccine...
“Kamala Harris: Weak. Failed. Dangerously liberal.” That’s the tag line on the first campaign ad put up by former President Trump this week. Those closing phrases of the 30-second hammering of Harris ought to run a thousand times between now and November because they provide a great and memorable summary of the Vice President’s tenure...
In a painful perversion of justice, the U.S. agreed to a plea deal with terrorist mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his two accomplices that spares them the death penalty for the murders of nearly 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001. The long-suffering family members of the victims expected and deserved justice, but many will be...
“Like most small children, I learned my home address so that if I got lost, I could tell a grown-up where to take me.” Those are the opening lines to “Hillbilly Elegy,” the memoir by Republican Vice Presidential nominee and Sen. JD Vance. It documents his rocky childhood growing up in Jackson, Kentucky, and Middletown,...
If it weren’t for double standards, Albany Democrats wouldn’t have any standards at all – especially when it comes to “green” energy. As newreporting shows, New York’s renewable energy plans have been decimated, highlighting a disconnect between radical policy proposals and real-world execution. In 2019, New York state set a whimsicalgoal of reaching a renewables...
It was at the top of the agenda at the GOP convention: 12 million illegal immigrants have entered the country over the last four years. Cities from Denver to New York City have pulled resources from Americans to reward individuals who came here illegally with free housing, education, activities and universal health care. But these...
This Election Day will be a big one for me personally: It’s exactly the 10th anniversary of my mother’s death, I’ll be six months pregnant with my first child, and our rabidly partisan politics will have everyone talking as though being born or dying is less important than whether your team wins the White House....
