  • What can I say about Thanksgiving?

    Over the years, I have eschewed (love that word) offering best wishes at holidays. Maybe this year is different.  
  • ‘Conservative’ outfits are ‘scouring’ because journalists won’t
    All federal employees, appointed or career, work for the taxpayers. They use taxpayer-provided resources to spend taxpayer-provided money. There is nothing sinister about insisting that the taxpayers have the right to know what they are getting for the salaries they pay and the resources they provide.
  • Christian vote, especially Catholics, critical to Trump's historic win
    The election was a historic comeback for Republicans on many fronts, with Trump being the first Republican to win the popular vote vote in over two decades. 
  • Terror to the south: Hezbollah in Latin America
    The reelection of Donald Trump has sent ripples across terror-supporting and anti-Israel regimes. But the new Trump Administration should also be focusing on Latin America, where complicit nations have enabled Hezbollah to thrive
  • Illegal migrants less likely to commit crime? Guess again
    Like the member of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua sentenced to life in prison last week for the murder of Laken Riley in Georgia, Hernandez’s case is shining a light on the federal government’s failure to properly vet and keep track of lawless migrants.
  • Election proved Americans are wise to Biden’s overreaching bureaucrats
    If you’ve followed this bulletin and my work in Congress, then you know I’m no fan of power-hungry bureaucrats. In the past four years under the Biden-Harris administration, liberal activist officials have regulated Americans and specifically small businesses nearly to death with costly rules that return no benefit and simply exist to make life more difficult for Main Street.
  • The long light
    The end-of-day shadows cast by the trees stood boldly against the wet pavement. Our own shadows, walking along ahead of us, looked absolutely undaunted.
  • Americans agree more than they might think
    If we Americans don’t find ways to recognize our shared values, and even our shared humanity, we won’t be able to defend those values when they are challenged.
  • Pondering graffiti
    Graffiti depresses me and sends a signal to me that there are people who have little regard for the looks of our country. Graffiti is not beautiful and adds to the general malaise in our country.
  • Is Fetterman running out of room?
    Fetterman's latest transformation – from progressive darling to pro-Israel moderate who gleefully antagonizes the Democratic left – represents perhaps his most dramatic pivot yet.
  • Thanksgiving: A time to save
    This time I choose to tell a very different truth, one that I fear smacks way too many folks right in their face. That truth? Thanksgiving Day means Christmas Day is only 27 panicky, stressful days away! 
  • The home-based battery storage fantasy
    Batteries store electricity; they don’t generate it. But the move toward electrifying the U.S. motor vehicle fleet, along with electrifying space and water heating, will double electricity consumption.
  • Democrats need their own Donald Trump
    The Democratic Party may well rise from the canvas in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential race – but this would likely be more a result of potential Republican overreach than the wisdom of their policies. For the good of the country, however, Democrats should use their recent defeat as an opportunity to rethink and reorient their approach to governance.
  • Would Bill Buckley yell stop?
    The year 2025 marks the centenary of modern conservativism’s founder, William F. Buckley Jr. But given the takeover of the Republican Party by Donald Trump, whether conservative still means what it once did is an open question. In these times, it’s natural to ask: What would Bill have to say?
  • Make education great again
    The destiny of our nation depends on education. The effort to revitalize our schools must be as bold as our aspirations. Together, we will bring American education into the 21st century. Together, we will make American education great again.
  • Cowpens Battle: Morgan’s finest hour
    At more than six feet, Daniel Morgan was a big man for his day. He was loud, animated and intimidating as he moved among his troops from fireside to fireside in the chill of the January air. Far from the picture of the colonial gentleman and officer, he loved to fight with his fists and drink in excess. By that winter of 1781, he was a living legend.
