The American vice presidency is one of this country’s most enigmatic roles. As stated in the Constitution, the vice president oversees the Senate and assumes the duties of the president in his absence. These two seemingly vague and opaque roles in the Constitution leave each modern American president to determine how they want their vice...
“Donald Trump is the best interview in the world.” I’ve interviewed former President Donald Trump more than twenty times over the past eight years. I made the above observation early in the 2015-16 cycle, and it is still true. My most recent interview of the former (and I hope future) president produced a lengthy exchange...
I have always liked U.S. Sen. Tim Scott. I’ve met him a few times and we had a great time when he came to tour the construction site for my Leadership and Economic Opportunity Center on the South Side of Chicago. We have much in common – we both descend from that horrible America legacy...
So with each passing day, it becomes clear that we’re living in a country run by a demented royal family. You got the mad King, a senile dude who can barely hold onto the presidency, much less his own bowels. You got the evil Queen, an ego-mad status seeker who demands to be called a...

New Russia-North Korea military agreements, as well as increased aggression by China’s maritime forces against the Philippines, a U.S. treaty ally, remind us that an emboldened axis of adversaries is working worldwide to demolish the American-led order. However, the United States and our allies have a waning opportunity to preserve peace through strength and stem...
Now that we’ve celebrated Independence Day and the fireworks, barbecues and other festivities are over, I’m pondering about what independence really is. While the holiday commemorates the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, as an immigrant, the word independence has a special meaning for me. It encompasses a much broader concept than the separation of...
With concerns about President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline abound, the Democrats and their mouthpieces are finding multiple ways to hedge their bets. This means not only evaluating whether to replace Biden (and with whom) but also what to do in case of a Trump victory. In the case of the latter, they are already setting...
I was born in Iran, and as a young student I joined the masses of protesters in the streets of Tehran in 1979 shouting “Death to America.” But I have grown to love America and what this blessed nation stands for. In 1982 I became a dual citizen and began studying at the University of...
