Never Discount Social Security as One of Your Top Assets
Let's keep the economy on an even keel. Americans of all economic levels should insist that Congress make the small increase in payroll taxes needed to protect monthly benefits, protecting the Social Security that is nearly everyone's main asset.
Focus on Meaning of Behaviors as Path to Understanding
Most folks are specifically focused on behavior and not the meaning behind it. If we stay focused on behavior, there is no room for understanding and compassion; there is only room for misunderstanding, rage, and hurt feelings.
States Break Law with Medicaid Coverage for Illegal Immigrants
By using dubious legal workarounds to bring a growing number of illegal immigrants onto Medicaid's rolls, leaders in states like California, Illinois, Colorado, and Oregon are moving the program in the wrong direction.
Target's Embrace of Customers a Good Sign - Will it Last?
It's easier to order employees to find their inner Dale Carnegie than it is to blame what's more responsible for the drop in sales. We think the drop was caused by Target's embrace of the child mutilation cult that believes children can swap sexes like they swap best friends.

Now's the Time to Fix Social Security: Recent Elections Prove It
If you look at current polls of Congress, it is quite obvious that most people don't currently place much trust in either Democrats or Republicans. People believe that members of Congress are more concerned with maintaining power.
Midterm's Lesson: Use Blakeman-Trump Model for Victory
Just as we contrasted President Trump's record of success vs. Biden and Harris, we can do that again with the Schumer Jeffries Mamdani big government socialists.
The Terrible Price of the Climate Change Scam
Former Vice President Al Gore may be the only American to have profited from climate alarmism. His book and film made him a multi-millionaire. He used his wealth to purchase homes. His high energy consumption is at odds with his climate sermons.
New York City: Bigger, Better, Far Greater Than Mamdani
Mamdani must engage with business leaders, corporations, and taxpayers who fund the budget that drives our city, showing respect. New York is more than 400 years old and will endure long after Mamdani's brief tenure. If he fails to respect this remarkable opportunity, it's his loss.
Will Washington Be Ready for Iran's Next Uprising?
Weakening Iran's ruling clerics and supporting a viable democratic alternative would deal a significant blow to the Iran-Russia-China alignment, disrupt Tehran’s proxy architecture, and reduce the long-term cost of containing a hostile regime with nuclear ambitions.
Shutdown Insanity May Have Ended, but Not Poor Leadership
The skies are not too safe, the air is not too clear, the food supply is not too clean, and we need a government that works, not one that is shut down while the girls and boys fight it out politically.
16 NYC Neighborhoods Secured Mamdani's Narrow Victory
New York has nearly 150 neighborhoods, a mere 16 spearheaded Zohran Mamdani's narrow victory in the city’s mayoral election on Nov. 4. Only one in five registered voters chose Mamdani.
AI Companions for Seniors – Worth the Applause
AI-powered technologies are touting benefits like medication reminders, fall detection, remembering appointments, and more, with a hope to promote independence, simplify communication with caregivers, and to combat loneliness.
Outsmarted by Trump, Schumer Ended Shutdown
The Democratic claim that the party leadership was so heart-broken by the pain the missed paychecks were inflicting on federal workers is absurd.
Self-Imposed Term Limits? Not an Option
We don't need term limits on service. We need term limits on ego. Because public office isn't supposed to be a career. It's supposed to be a commitment.
It's Time We Demand Scrutiny of ROI on a College Education
Gone are the days when tools of trade for basic white-collar-adjacent jobs were only taught at colleges. Most blue-collar jobs now require high comfort levels in use of digital tools, similar competencies one needs at entry level white-collar jobs. It's time we accept that fact.
Ruddy: President Trump, Thank You For Your BBC Fight
The BBC has succumbed to the same disease infecting so much of the global media: leftwing political bias.
Nothing 'Democratic' About Socialists
DSA's policies reflect a visceral hatred for the free market, and conversely, a worship of government. This inevitably leads to food shortages, black markets, and Soviet-style oppression.
Canada Proves Cutover to Marxism Happens at Warp Speed
Bank of England darling and WEF high priest, Mark Carney is more serious than predecessor Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. He has taught Canadians a lesson that property rights mean nothing.
Johnson's, Pritzker's, Pelosi's Contempt for Law Merits DOJ Wrath
Democrats working to resist and obstruct the enforcement of our immigration laws, are reminiscent of Southern segregationist Democrats who vigorously opposed, obstructed, and attempted to nullify the implementation of federal anti-segregation law.
Trump Proposal Could End Schumer Shutdown, Turbocharge Patient Power
Democrats: Join Republicans and open the government. Republicans: Join Democrats, negotiate the details, and Make Health Coverage Great Again.
What Will It Take To Correct The Missile Defense Record?
The general, erroneous perception seems to be that building effective defensive systems quite affordably possible three decades ago now would be enormously expensive, if they are at all possible. Really?
Bill Gates Finally Gives Global Warming the Cold Shoulder
After decades of doomsday sermons, manipulated models, and taxpayer tithing to the "Green Church," the mask is off. The climate crusade was never about saving the planet. It was about controlling the people, all of us. Environmentalism became Marxism with a recycling bin.
Trillions Later, Bill Gates Chills on Climate Catastrophe
In a stunning reversal, after spending more than a decade and billions of his dollars plus trillions of ours fighting to end climate change, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates finally concedes that human civilization isn’t doomed to melt away quite yet after all.
Trump Can Do Better Than Tariff 'Dividends,' 50-Year Mortgages
Financial finagling, whether in the form of 50-year mortgages or tariff stimulus checks, isn't the answer, a rebirth of industry, enabled by American energy, is what the nation needs.
Are Trump's Tariffs Beyond His Constitutional Authority?
The Congress can no more delegate to the president the power to tax than it can the power to prescribe punishments for federal crimes.
Authenticity Can Rescue PR from Its Carnival of Insincerity
The tragedy is that so many practitioners of public relations, the very craft of persuasion, have become the chief architects of deception. What was once the art of credible storytelling has, in too many hands, devolved into a carnival of contrived synthetic sincerity.
It's Still the Economy
All proposed economic policies must be explained in concrete, local terms. The relevant questions each and every time should be: How does this policy tangibly benefit the common man, and how can the policy be messaged so that the benefit is clearly understood?
Security, Stability in Syria Still at Risk
The regime in Damascus is far from secure. Its rapid transformation, from a jihadist movement to a partner of the West, carries deep internal risks. It could provoke ideological fissures among Islamists.
A Welcoming Space Worthy of the White House
Caution is warranted. When renovations change the character of historic buildings too dramatically, they risk eroding the intangible qualities of place that foreign dignitaries note: elegance, proportion, legacy.
Why Trump's Biggest Election Loss Happened in California
Like everything in American politics today, this episode starts with President Donald Trump, who pushed Texas and other red states to adopt new district maps mid-decade to stack the House deck in the GOP's favor.
Cultivating Hope: How Healthy Children Become Happy Adults
Positive childhood experiences, including states of mind and being such as supportive parental relationships, very good health, as well as consistent religious attendance, were strongly linked with higher levels of hope during adulthood.
Trump the Peacemaker Deserves His Place on Mount Rushmore
History will remember Donald J. Trump not just as the 45th and 47th commander in chief, but as one of our nation's greatest defenders of freedom. Mount Rushmore awaits him.
With Help of U.S. Business, Trump Scores Another Win
IVF, a widely used yet costly fertility treatment, was a key topic during the 2024 election cycle. A single IVF treatment cycle can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Many couples often require more than one cycle for a successful pregnancy. Help is on the way.
Republics Governing by 'Emergencies' Live Without Safeguards
Emergency bills move fast, face weak scrutiny and become irresistible means for unrelated projects or those that Congress would never approve otherwise.
Is Beijing Scoring Quiet Victories in America's Classrooms?
It’s time for a complete and total shutdown of China-linked research partnerships, technology infiltration, and influence operations. Call it extreme — but appeasement has failed. Every day we wait, the red hand reaches a little deeper into America's institutions.
Democrats Cave to Communists, Trump Must Focus on Economy
Those who are downplaying results as merely "blue-state voters being blue-state voters" are missing the point. It's not that Democrats are voting for candidates running as Democrats. It's what the Democratic Party now stands for and what their voters are voting for.
Drone Deterrence, Can It Guarantee Lasting Mideast Peace?
Lessons from Israel, and Ukraine, have proven that modern air wars are not won solely by $20-million tanks or sophisticated fighter jets. Full spectrum air wars now include fleets of small, intelligent, and relentlessly adaptive unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), "drones."
Tucker Carlson's Mockery and God's Irrevocable Call
From the prophets to the apostles to the church fathers, those who have taken Scripture seriously have affirmed this truth: God's dealings with Israel reveal his character. To deny that is to question the reliability of God himself.
Youthful Delusions of Entitlement Elected Mamdani
Neighborhoods are populated by new ethnic voters, Hispanics from Central and South America, Southern Asians and Middle Easterners. There is also a contingent of young white college-educated voters who have rejected center-right views. They have self-confidence that borders on arrogance.
D.C. Should Scrutinize Entertainment Mergers' Impact on Speech
No doubt, Big Tech will marshal their resources to fight authorities, as they have before, but regulators can, and should, use this moment to carefully examine mergers in the entertainment industry that will have an impact on free speech.
Pelosi Will Be Remembered for Being Pitifully Misguided
When the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act came up again in the House in 2003, Pelosi again voted against it. But that year, then-President George W. Bush signed it into law.
Mamdani's Perfect Storm Will Ravage All NY
A Mamdani victory will ignite wholesale legislative attacks on property owners, charter schools, law enforcement and businesses all across New York state.
Republicans Must Hold Nose, Save NYC From Total Ruin
The New York City mayoral election is a choice between two choices: bad and disastrous.
No, Hamas-Israel War Not Over
Of the many, many people who talk to me about "The Peace" and "The End of the War," I have to say that the vast majority of them are wrong. They don't understand the dynamics of the very complicated situation President Trump threw himself into and the success that Trump accomplished.
Trump's Instincts Achieved What Stale Foreign Policy Couldn't
Trump's fusion of business techniques with statecraft turned deal-making into a bold vision. Egypt's el-Sisi called it "the last chance" for peace in the region. In the complex environment of the Mideast, that is quite an achievement. Trump would call it "historic." He'd be right.
Jews Know All Too Well Where Path of Tolerated Hatred Leads
When a movement begins to confuse outrage with courage and prejudice with patriotism, it loses its soul. To celebrate Tucker Carlson in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death is not a tribute to Kirk's ideals; it's a betrayal of them. Freedom of speech is not freedom from moral responsibility.
We Can't Let Wastewater Protection System Go To Waste
Wastewater monitoring allows us to monitor wastewater in sewage facilities, track infectious diseases such as measles and pathogens in our water, and measure their spread across the nation to monitor any potential outbreak.
Key to Restoring American Greatness: Evil's Wholesale Defeat
There was a moral opposition to the Vietnam War and a moral basis for racial equality in the Civil Rights movement. Today's urban divisiveness and violence is greater than in the 1960s, yet there is not a clear moral basis behind today's street warfare.
Mamdani Result of Radicalism Moving from Classroom to City Hall
Backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, Mamdani's platform reads like a manifesto, not a municipal plan: abolish the police, cancel rent, redistribute wealth, and fundamentally remake New York’s economy and institutions.
Documentary a Magnificent Way to Honor Those Serving in Uniform
The documentary, directed by Michael Pack, has been powerfully fitted tongue-and-groove-style from war correspondent photos, bodycam footage, and subsequent interviews of the vets. Unlike earlier wars, the images are crystal clear.
Institute Educates in Much Needed Areas of Security, Strategy
Despite being grounded in the Western tradition (one that frankly should be expected in the formation of intelligence professionals loyal to America), IWP graduates are often immersed in nations whose values are fundamentally opposed to ours.
Time to Regulate Lawyers Playing Doctors on TV
The legal profession has had decades to police its own excesses and has chosen not to. If lawyers won’t act, lawmakers must.
Hamas Interested in Advancing Its Strategy, Not Morality
America must accept reality. Strength deters evil. Accountability constrains aggression. Sentiment alone has never disarmed Hamas or restrained Iran.
Lifting Deposit Insurance Limits Is Foolhardy
We don't want to encourage investors to seek safe harbor in risk-free investments. The millionaires and the billionaires are the people we do want to take risks with their fortunes. We want them to discover and seed-invest in the next Microsoft or Google or Walmart.
Drastically Shrink Govt, or Keep it Shutdown
The days of Democrats using government as their own political slush fund needs to end now. The case for more and bigger government has been discredited. America's big government expansion has totally and completely failed. Propping up failure is unacceptable.
Kamala Harris, Please Run Again
Business leaders support Trump because he is a winner. Conversely, they will reject Harris, a two-time loser as a presidential candidate. If she runs a third time for president, and is given the nomination, it will only be a charm for Republicans, who will win the presidency again.
Under President Trump's Leadership, America Winning Again
President Donald J. Trump has proven he works nonstop. From sunrise to well past midnight. Why? To keep his promises to the American people.
Jewish Democrats Must Reckon with a Party Gone Radical
The recent endorsement of Mamdani by U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., cemented the fact that Democrats no longer believe straddling both sides of the ideological fence suits an electoral base that has moved farther left over the last decade.
Tearing Down Healthcare's Middle Men Won't Make Meds Cheaper
Tearing Down Healthcare's Middle Men Won't Make Meds Cheaper
We Can Reclaim Civility by Rediscovering Halloween's Origins
As parents, we need to take that danger more seriously — the danger of treating evil as entertainment, of letting darkness masquerade as play.
