EV's problems have been rampant. Insufficient and faulty charging stations, high price tags, range anxiety, and difficulty in cold climates are among the main concerns. Some of these problems will be ironed out in the coming years, but others appear almost insurmountable.

For too long, unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. have wielded too much influence. They’ve operated with little regard for what Congress intended. They often “reinterpreted” decades-old laws to expand their power. As a result, Congress’ role was weakened.

Until July 13, we heard lots of unkind comments about the participants in the presidential race. While slung at both sides, the invectives tossed at President Trump have seemed to be particularly bitter. President Biden and Vice President Harris have received their share, too, but these have not seemed quite so filled with rage.

Several sources within the Secret Service community told RealClearPolitics they are furious about the failures and blamed agency management, not the agents and counter snipers on the ground, all of whom they said performed admirably.

After a rush of idealistic volunteers from the West in the first year of the war, Ukraine now conducts psychological tests on all new candidates. The tests will indicate whether mercenaries will stay in Ukraine for the long term. Russia, on the hand, cynically exploits its recruits for transitory gain. So, will mercenaries win Putin’s war?

Economies and standards of living hinge on having an adequate, economic and reliable energy source – attributes that are non-negotiable for an optimal energy infrastructure. Our current trajectory risks creating inadequate, unaffordable and unreliable energy supplies, which would devastate the U.S. economy and standard of living.

The attempted assassination of President Donald Trump this weekend is truly chilling, as political violence of any kind is never acceptable and quite frankly, is un-American.

Hamas’ diabolical strategy of using Palestinian civilians as human shields ensures that Israel’s legitimate efforts to defend itself against the jihadists’ expressed genocidal aims will cause extensive injury and death to Palestinian civilians and leave Gazan civilian infrastructure in ruins.

Vance was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2022 and sworn into office in January 2023. Before that, Vance served in the military during the Iraq War. He went on to graduate from The Ohio State University and, later, Yale Law School.

I was standing in what reporters call “the bumper” with my daughter and son-in-law – the well that runs the perimeter of the stage used primarily by photojournalists – when a gunman opened fire. The former president, just feet from me, grabs his face and finds blood running into his ear. He ducks down. More gunshots ring out. Within seconds, Donald Trump is surrounded by law enforcement who form a human shield around him. At this point, Michel Picard, one of the Trump campaign’s advance team, forces me down on the ground. The moment is a blur, but I recall just standing there, with my daughter and her husband already on the ground, and then Michel stretches on top of us to shield us.

We left early in the morning, when the creek valley air was still cool. With the El Camino's windows down and the cozy wings turned in, it was almost too cold, but I felt wonderful. We were heading east in a line of old cars, with our old car friends, driving along the winding road that followed the Ohio River. I looked out the window at the river's water flowing smoothly past small towns and under bridges. It was a beautiful day.

Former U.S. Secret Service agents and security experts argue the Secret Service’s failure to prevent an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump on Saturday was “apocalyptic,” exhibiting a “massive security breach.”

All of the vicious and violent anti-Donald Trump rhetoric must end. Now. It should never have gotten to this point. The media are complicit. So is Hollywood. So are many far-left Democrats. 

An assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for as a nation. Everything. It’s not who we are as a nation. It’s not America, and we cannot allow this to happen. Unity is the most elusive goal of all, but nothing is important than that right now — unity.
