Seth Liebsohn: The State of Our Union

Next week, President Donald Trump will deliver his State of the Union address.  The rest of the legislative agenda will be set for the year, and, of course, we’ll be off to the mid-term elections in November.  A great many Democrats plan to boycott the State of the Union.  One, Democratic Senator C…

Carol Platt Liebau: On Behalf of the Children

Now that Minnesota prisons have begun to notify ICE when illegal immigrants with federal warrants are being released, the ICE surge there is winding down. During the operation, agents found more than three thousand missing unaccompanied alien children. Over half a million children were smuggled in…

Hugh Hewitt: Trump's Choice

As we watch President Trump and all that’s happening with Iran and Khomeini, I think the situation can be summed up succinctly: One door is marked "Truman/Reagan" and the other door is marked "Carter/Obama/Biden." On three different occasions, Trump has walked through the first door: He ordered t…

Ed Morrissey: No Sanctuary For Sanctuaries

When Tom Homan announced an end to Operation Metro Surge last week, he declared it a success.

Carol Platt Liebau: The Cost of Corruption

Ed Morrissey: The NFL Goes Full Bud Light

Roger Goodell and the NFL want to expand the appeal of the league to international audiences. So: Offering a Spanish-language halftime might have made sense—had that been the extent of the messaging. Instead, Goodell allowed Bad Bunny and his allies to lecture Americans about immigration enforceme…

Seth Leibsohn: Our Human Rights Hypocrisy

A genocide against Christians in Nigeria is taking place. This week one attack there killed at least 170 people.  Most of the slaughter is from the Islamist organization Boko Haram.  For those that don’t know, Boko Haram means “Western civilization is sacrilege.” Last month, the leadership of Iran…

Carol Platt Liebau: Golden State Corruption

Americans have been appalled — and rightly so — by the scope and scale of the fraud uncovered in Minnesota. Now, it looks like there’s a lot more to come: this time, from California. Eighteen percent of America’s home health care billing comes from Los Angeles County, which claims almost 2,000 hos…
