Immigration Is a Privilege, not a Right

Our immigration system is broken; you hear it being said all the time by politicians and media types, but what they never say is how or why. Their only response to anything related to immigration is “We need comprehensive reform,” which always includes “a pathway to citizenship,” which is code for voting. We see it. But the truth of the matter is that the system isn’t broken; the people running it are.

McCOLLOUGH: Obama Judge Sides with Criminals – and Against America

Another day, another Unelected Activist Judge playing Constitutional Hopscotch with America’s safety. This time Judge James Boasberg – an Obama appointee (because, of course, he is) – has decided that foreign gang members – yes, actual criminals with suspected ties to violent Venezuelan Crime Syndicates – deserve a golden parachute back into the U.S. after President Trump's rightfully ordered them deported. The Constitution, Federal Law, and basic Common Sense are all on his side. Let’s get specific.

Why Mainstream Journalists Cannot be Nonpartisan, Fair or Objective

The mainstream media has become so biased in recent years that President Donald Trump popularized the phrase “fake news” and Elon Musk, posts rants about them almost daily on his X platform. Both have sued the media for libel or defamation. But little has changed; outside of some pushback at a few publications like The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times due to their publishers, the mainstream media is doubling down with the slant and partisan bias against Trump and conservatives, further decimating their shrinking numbers.

Is the Jig Up for Elite Higher Education? ​​​​​​​

Over the last three decades, elite American universities have engaged in economic, political, social, and cultural practices that were often unethical, illegal -- and suicidal. They did so with impunity. By the 1970s, non-profit universities had dropped pretenses that they were apolitical and non-partisan. Instead, they customarily violated the corpus of iconic civil rights legislation by weighing race, gender, and sexual orientation in biased admissions, hiring, and promotions.

Will Democrats Join Trump? He's Serious About Reducing Govt. Spending – and So Are Americans

President Trump is serious about reducing the bloated size of government and its spending. And, after his popular & triumphal "Joint Address to Congress" last week, he and Congressional Republicans are pushing to keep spending in the last 6 months of the year at about the same levels of the first 6 months while they work out what should be spent – and what should not. Waste, Fraud & Abuse have been exposed everywhere, and the ball is in Senate Democrat's Court. The choice is theirs – and America IS watching.

Virtually All House Republicans Unify to Keep Govt. Open

On Tuesday evening, by a vote of 217-213, the House voted almost entirely along party lines to pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) that President Donald Trump indicated his support for over the weekend. Vice President JD Vance also spoke to House Republicans earlier on Tuesday to rally support - and the push worked, as only one Republican joined all the Democrats, save one, in opposing the measure to keep the Federal Govt open.

PAULSON: Trump Is Reclaiming the Founders’ American Dream

It used to be that Americans were ashamed to be dependent upon others – but today people seem to embrace Government Dependency as if they're entitled to it. This is best described as an addiction that's destructive to liberty, and personal virtue. But, there's a new sheriff in town – in Washington, DC. President Donald Trump and his DOGE team are bringing an inspiring, no-nonsense message to government, AND its citizens — and Americans are thirsting for it. It’s time to cut the gravy train.

BARKOUKIS: Marco Rubio Makes Major Announcement Regarding 83% of USAID Programs

“After a 6-week review, we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID,” said Secretary of State Marco Rubio early Monday morning. “The 5,200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States," said Rubio, announcing that those programs being kept will fall under the purview of the State Department.  Democrats are losing their minds.

HANSON: 5 Ukrainian Fables & Empty Carnival Barking from the Democrat Left

Fable One: President Trump is... appeasing Russia? But, of the last four U.S. Presidents, under whose watch did Putin not invade another country? Which president sold offensive weapons to Ukraine first? Who warned Germany NOT to become dependent on the Russian Nord Stream II Pipeline deal? Who withdrew from an unfair missile deal with the Russians? Who cajoled and berated NATO members to meet their military investment promises made following the 2014 invasion of Ukraine? Who?

SCHLICHTER: Democrats Showed Their True Colors – They’re Not Normal, They’re Weirdos

Sometimes stupid and insanity are hard to differentiate – but it sure was apparent during President Trump's Tuesday Night Speech that Democrats haven't learned a thing and can be both at the same time. Applaud for a heroic orphan getting into West Point? Nope. Applaud for finding & cutting waste in the Federal Budget? Are you crazy? I don’t know what genius came up with the strategy of only adopting positions normal Americans hate, but it sure is a bold one. I’m just eager to see how it works out for them.

Crouere: Trump's First Weeks Have Saved the Nation

During his last “State of the Union” speech on February 4th, 2020, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was so out-of-control that she tore up her copy of his speech for everyone to see. This act of defiance was highly inappropriate and unprecedented – House Leaders had never acted in such a despicable way, yet today Pelosi’s childish tantrum typifies how Democrats feel about President Trump. Their mean and childish case of Trump Derangement Syndrome benefits not a single American... And they're getting worse.

MOORE: For Whom the Zelle Tolls

One of the more baffling lawsuits in the final days of the Biden Administration was the complaint against Zelle, the popular money transfer network. The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau argued that – despite Zelle's service being free – the network's users were being ripped off. Now that the Trump White House has all but closed the CFPB down, the lingering lawsuit is the first of many that should be tossed out. The very people CFPB purports to be protecting, would be the victims here.

MOREFIELD: Trump & Vance’s Finest Moment

Everything about President Donald Trump & Vice President JD Vance kicking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s sorry, begging, petulant, pompous, entitled ass out of the White House last Friday is the perfect encapsulation of an "America First" foreign policy in practice – not just theory. This is exactly what I voted for, and I couldn’t be more proud of our leaders for practicing what they preach – consequences and optics be damned. If anyone can succeed, Americans are believing Donald Trump can.

Conservatives, State of Texas Should Preserve Drug Discount Program 340B

It's time for all of us to ensure that those working tirelessly to root out waste, fraud and abuse in Washington, D.C. don't fall for the “fake news” that the media and others are spreading. Nationwide political chatter is focused on cleaning up the D.C. Swamp, cutting billions of fat in absentee employees, and stopping the Scandalous Boondoggle Spending – which is long, long overdue. Here's one effective tool to help working-class patients and providers – and prevent further stains on the American Taxpayer.

Who Caused the Counter-Revolution?

At some point, some president was going to have to stop the unsustainable spending and borrowing. To have any country left, some president would eventually have had to restore a nonexistent border and stop the influx of 3 million illegal aliens a year. Some commanders-in-chief finally would have to try to stop the theater wars abroad. But any president who dared to do any of that would be damned for curbing the madness that his predecessors fueled. And so none did -- until now.

SHAPIRO: Economic Freedom & Fiscal Sanity – The Top Task for Team Trump

President Donald Trump entered his 2nd Term with a bold agenda and unprecedentedly rapid action. Joe Biden left Donald Trump with a shaky economy. So, what should Team Trump do? First, the focus should quickly shift toward cutting regulations – the true sand in the gears of American Consumers and Commerce. Second, the Republican Congress must make Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts permanent. And third, there is only one path forward toward economic prosperity for the United States.

THOMAS: Democrat's Nutty 'Constitutional Crisis' Flatulence

Despite losing the 2024 Election, Democrats continue to try and claim Donald Trump represents "a Constitutional Crisis." But if there is one – which there isn't – they should know by now that most Americans blame THEM for violating the Constitution's boundaries and restrictions against excess government. A majority now sympathizes with our nation's 30th president, Calvin Coolidge, who a century ago said: "Unless the people – through unified action – arise and take charge of their government, they will find that their government has taken charge of them."

HAYEK: Here's a National Model for Stopping Illegal Gangs & Trafficking

In neighborhoods across America, families go about their daily lives never imagining the shadow of violent cartels could be creeping into their communities. But make no mistake, ruthless gangs and cartels are not just a border problem – they are here exploiting loopholes to traffic drugs, launder money, and destroy lives. When states are inactive, drug cartels and human traffickers thrive. Criminals exploit weak policies and political inaction to sustain their operations. It's time to take a stand.

Possibly The Dumbest Example Of Waste DOGE Has Discovered (So Far)

There’s something about being exposed that causes stupidity; a kneejerk reaction to push back against reality, no matter how obvious. As DOGE and President Donald Trump work to expose and fight government waste, fraud and abuse (how sad is it that they have to FIGHT Democrats to end those things?), more ways in which the federal government has been doing those things is coming to light.  As a result of this disinfecting glow of sunlight, people are losing their jobs. While that’s never fun, those jobs are simply unnecessary

Tom Hanks, Margaret Brennan, and the European Ministers -- Reveal It All

Three recent but completely unrelated events illustrate the deranged hatred of President Donald Trump and his supporters continuing now even into a second decade. And yet the venom only further marginalizes the left. In its too-long 50th anniversary spectacle, Saturday Night Live offered a skit in which marquee actor Tom Hanks did an impression of what the left thinks is a supposedly Neanderthal Trump supporter.
