We have given billions of dollars to countries who despise us and other countries that only bring us more security challenges and never emerge with good governance of their own. We have given aid to criminals who exploit populations we aim to help.

In about 15 months, we are going to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States. I am having a little trouble wrapping my head around this, for I can remember celebrating the 200th anniversary like it was yesterday.

The Trump administration has its work cut out for it. But transparency and political resolve can meet the moment.

Anthony R. Dolan, the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist-turned-chief-speechwriter to President Ronald Reagan who used insights into what he called the phenomenology of evil – refined by his courageous reporting on the mafia’s corrupt control of local government in Stamford, Connecticut, in the late 1970s – to shape key presidential speeches in the 1980s and thus pave the way for the United States’ victory in the Cold War, died last week at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia. He was 76.

As Master of Leesburg Masonic Lodge #78, I was overwhelmed by the response of the local community to our Pancake Breakfast on March 15.

A RealClearInvestigations review of Solar for All's records reveals a tight circle of publicly funded environmental outfits and government agencies, with the lion’s share of the now-frozen funds slated to go to Democrat-run states.

For too long, a lack of accountability has darkened our fiscal future. To overcome our serious economic challenges, we must restore accountability, rein in federal spending, and spur economic growth. 

In a new court filing, Hunter lamented that his art sales are down 98%, no one will hire him to give speeches, he has millions in debt, and the dog ate his homework (I made up the last one). Even worse, the District of Columbia Bar is investigating whether to disbar him, though a RealClearInvestigations report led by Paul Sperry suggests the result may be a whitewash that spares Hunter the usual consequences of his sordid past.

Passing the AAA will help to counter the current surge of antisemitism in the U.S. As the Republican administration seeks to ensure that college campuses and other federally funded institutions protect their Jewish populace, Congress has the chance to support that mission in a bipartisan way. Lawmakers should not hesitate.

Satan tries to take your eyes off the heavenly road. Repentance gives the clear vision to get you back on the right road to Jesus when you realize afterward you're lost on a detour called sin.  

Perhaps CNN’s Jake Tapper will reveal all in his forthcoming book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, It’s Cover-Up and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” But that seems unlikely given how complicit he and his legacy media colleagues were in dismissing the president’s obvious decline.
