By all available accounts, the Federal Reserve’s unilateral war against the worst inflationary crisis in 40 years is going precisely according to plan. The fastest monetary tightening cycle since the Volcker era in the early 1980s has succeeded in bringing down consumer price index inflation from the near-double digits to 3.2% as of this February.…

Former President Donald Trump has called the influx of immigrants into the country an “invasion,” which has triggered charges of demagoguery. But it’s an accurate description of our state of affairs about the U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada. Southern border encounters reported by the Border Patrol more than doubled from 2019 to fiscal 2023,…

The U.S. economy has proven remarkably resilient amid the Federal Reserve’s largely successful attempts to pull off a soft landing from sky-high inflation. But not everyone has enjoyed the benefits.

Without so much as a whisper of pushback from Congress, the White House is bulldozing forward with a regulatory proposal that could cost the average household up to $10,000 extra in water costs.

Self-proclaimed journalist Tucker Carlson created an internet firestorm less for his challenging enough interview with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin but more for his obsequious Potemkin tour of Moscow. Broadcast as a series of X shorts to publicize his new independent media venture, Carlson gasps in childlike wonder as he discovers the banalities of Russian daily…

One of the odder and sordid subplots of President Joe Biden‘s journey to and through the White House is how the Secret Service has continually tried to cover up possible scandals for him despite the president’s reported distrust of the agents as “MAGA sympathizers” and predilection for offending his detail. Recall that when cocaine coincidentally…

In the end, the most wonderful thing about America is not the greenback’s status as the world’s reserve currency or that our real per capita prosperity is unprecedented not just for the planet today, but in the scope of human history. Our singular defining achievement is not our state-of-the-art medical, technological, or architectural accomplishments, and…

In the gritty reboot the overwhelming majority of the country does not want, the 81-year-old President Joe Biden, recently deemed unfit to stand prosecution for alleged criminal handling of classified documents, apparently will face off against the 77-year-old former President Donald Trump, who has been charged by prosecutors with that crime, as well as 90…

Though voters elected Republicans to the House majority in the last congressional elections, since the start of Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) revolt against the speakership of Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the GOP seems keen to give that majority away. And as former President Donald Trump cleans up in the nomination fight and aims for a White…

Across the Anglosphere, the airline industry is falling apart. The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded Boeing 737 Max 9 planes after an emergency exit door blew off an Alaska Airlines aircraft midflight. That led United Airlines to forecast a first-quarter loss as it grounds 79 of the planes in its fleet. And a New York-bound…
