We have seen this before.

A foreign entity attacks American persons or property and the government warns that its sleeper cells have infiltrated the United States and it is somehow necessary to expand the powers of the government and shrink protections for civil liberties -- and this shrinkage will somehow keep us all safe.

The premise of this...Read more

Even Americans who loathe President Donald Trump should be capable of seeing that the U.S. and the world are safer without a nuclear-capable Iran. But Trump derangement is blinding them.

On Sept. 11, 2001, Muslim fanatics flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing upward of 3,000 innocent American civilians.

Americans asked why?

Why? The unfortunate answer is, for the fanatics in Iran, our very existence is ...Read more

As I write this column late on June 24, Israel and Ayatollah Iran have stopped their latest battle of long-range missiles and bombs.

A tentative ceasefire holds, a ceasefire more or less personally imposed by U.S. president Donald Trump.

The predicate for Trump's ability to demand a ceasefire? The U.S. Air Force 509th Bomb Wing's jaw-...Read more

Before Robby Starbuck became a problem for leftist companies, alerting consumers to stupid woke indoctrination policies, he directed music videos.

That amendment says in ...Read more

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is apparently the leader of a menacing conspiracy. The New York Times put this on the June 24 front page: "Under Trump, Ex-MTV Star Pitches Big Families." But he used to be a bad boy on MTV, so the headline underneath was "From a Racy Past to a Key Cabinet Post."

At 25, Duffy starred on MTV's reality show "...Read more

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump does not want to be a wartime president.

He wants to be the president who, as he did at Mar-a-Lago in 2017, enjoyed "the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake you've ever seen," as he informed Chinese President Xi Jinping that the U.S. had just dropped bombs on Syria.

Trump wants to be the U.S. president...Read more

At the birth of the internet age in the early 1990s, the U.S. and Europe took opposite approaches to advancing this new economy-changing technology.

Europe tried the approach of industrial policy: They allowed government to regulate, subsidize and then tax the swarm of new tech companies that emerged.

The word "badass" was bandied about a lot after the first assassination attempt on Donald Trump last year.

Famously, the bloodied Republican candidate raised his fist in defiance.

In a different context, the same pungent word applies to his 2 a.m. strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Trump the TV star has a knack for the theatrical and ...Read more
