  • Military reform: Reversing the decline

    It took Vietnam to drive the last great U.S. effort at military reform, we cannot let Afghanistan and related military failure be locked in the attic like a crazy uncle. Like a termite infestation or dry rot, ignoring the problems much longer could lead to a collapse of the whole edifice and our nation’s interests and force in readiness, the Marine Corps, depend on it. We are now experiencing the greatest decline in American combat power since the end of World War II. America's military is becoming a hollow force not seen since the Carter years.
  • Unshackling Democracy: Embracing term limits, empowering citizens
    My book presents term limits as not just a policy change but as a pivotal step toward revitalizing our Republic. It brings this old idea into a new light, offering both a historical perspective and a relatable narrative for the average American.
  • Give me an engaged electorate
    Today, our nation faces enormous challenges. I think Patrick Henry would repeat his admonition from 1775 and urge us to speak up, to join the debate. I am confident, too, that he would repeat his warning from 1799 that we must act with other citizens to seek reform “in a constitutional way;” the alternative is “monarchy,” which he had come to dread. 
  • The elite 1 percent behind the cultural civil war
    The elite 1 percent are surprisingly young. Sixty-seven percent are between 35 and 54 years old. They are 86 percent white. Almost half of them (47 percent) favor “Sanders-like policies.” They are overwhelmingly Democrats (73 percent). The gap between the elite 1 percent and the rest of America is startling.
  • Shut the border or shut the government
    The influx of millions of illegals under the Biden regime has cost the nation billions of dollars at a time when our national debt has skyrocketed to an unimaginable $34 trillion. And yet Washington does nothing to solve the problem – not the Biden administration and not the Republican House of Representatives.
  • Only citizens should vote in America
    Congress should move this month to block the DC politicians’ effort to let non-citizens vote in our national capital. Congress should also pass a law making it illegal for non-citizens to cast ballots in federal elections.
  • 75 years on, stop viewing religious freedom as second-class human right
    For all its benefits, current trends for international religious freedom do not look promising. More than 80 percent of the world’s population live in countries that restrict or repress freedom of religion or belief in some way. Many of these restrictions, and outright human rights violations, happen in countries where we would expect it.
  • Yes, talking heads, we ARE paying attention
    Sorry, Democrats. Sorry, Joe Biden. Sorry, congressional dead weights of both parties. Sorry, elites and talking heads. We have been paying attention, and we are coming for you. You can’t hide behind your fake narrative any longer. The truth has set us free.
  • A house divided
    Our politicians draw their strength from the division between us. They take the 10%-20% disagreement between us and turn it into the main thing, because that’s what gives them a mandate to “represent” us, to fight in our name. They do it at the expense of our security, our welfare, our taxes and our freedom.
  • For electricity, 'all of the above' should really mean all of the above
    Whether a business is investing billions of dollars in a pipeline, energy export terminals, or even an offshore wind farm, lawmakers need to support American energy. Yes it comes in different forms, but they are all important pieces of the puzzle.
  • Doubts and questions about Biden will only grow
    The Biden inner circle seems to be confident his age is a smaller political problem than the many ones Trump has. They also seem to be in denial that some of the Hunter Biden business dealings revelations are really bad, and that his father refusing to acknowledge his love child is terrible.
  • Rep. Gallagher: China’s Xi trying to replace God
    China is not only carrying out genocide against a religious minority, the Uyghur Muslims, but President Xi Jinping views all people of faith as a direct threat and is trying to insert himself in the “role of God” over all people of faith in China, a top House Republican has asserted. The Falun Gong and Uyghurs have been forced into labor camps and hundreds of thousands have been killed for their organs in what has become a billion-dollar involuntary organ-transplant industry in China.
  • Real journalism in an anti-journalism age
    In a climate where partisanship and crude tribalism have compromised our receptivity to truth, Jeff Gerth and others like him are providing a new model of what freedom of the press can mean – and reminding us how vital it remains.
  • Censorship by another name is still dangerous
    The progressive war on free expression hit a speed bump on July 4 when a federal judge prevented the Biden administration from communicating with social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook in its effort to police online content it deems misinformation.
  • China Commission to MLB: Stop subsidizing China’s abuses
    “I do wonder if Major League Baseball understands how they’re being complicit with forced labor,” Isaac Stone Fish, a visiting fellow at the Atlantic Council, testified Tuesday before the Congressional-Executive Commission on China.
  • Sanders’ Medicare-for-all would destroy health care
    Government-run health care has failed the world over. It’s time for individuals to stop politicians from disregarding facts while recklessly imposing their power and instead demand control of the health care dollar and choices on how to spend it.
