The science is clear: climate change is happening, and human activity is one of many contributing factors. That should not be controversial. The key question is what to do about this reality.

There are two competing approaches to this challenge. One seeks to overhaul and constrain America’s energy industry from Washington in the name of fighting climate change. The other unleashes American energy production and innovation to power growth, create good jobs, and reduce our dependence on China, all while protecting the environment at the same time.

“Raise your hand if you think it should be a civil offense rather than a crime to cross the border without documentation,” a moderator asked the Democratic presidential candidates at a 2019 primary debate.
When Joe Biden’s hand shot up, it was the first of many warning signs that Biden’s approach to immigration would be an unmitigated disaster.

Three years and 10 million illegal crossings later, President Biden’s failed leadership has allowed our southern border to spiral into a humanitarian, national security, and economic crisis of epic proportions.

Joe Biden says, “what is clear is my economic plan is working,” but as I travel across Pennsylvania, I can’t find anyone, even Democrats, who believes that.

In recent weeks on the campaign trail, I’ve met a young woman who is a welder in Bedford County, a law enforcement officer in Somerset, and a third generation farmer in Cambria who works a second job during the day so he can farm his family homestead at night.

You could hear the demented joy through the phone. A young man standing in the Mefalsim kibbutz called his parents back in Gaza to brag about murdering 10 Jews on Oct. 7. They were elated. That was but one episode in a gut-wrenching 47-minute compilation of recordings and videos from that horrific day that I watched in a Tel Aviv hospital during a recent trip with my wife, Dina, to Israel.

In 2023, we were reminded that evil lurks in the world and is on the rise, and that we need strong leadership and moral clarity to deter and overcome it. Over the last three years, the world has become an increasingly dangerous place for the United States and our allies as adversaries probe for weakness. […]

Marches closing city streets. Protests paralyzing college campuses. Incendiary messages dominating social media. These things are happening here, in America, because a foreign terrorist organization called for a “day of jihad,” inciting violence across the country and overseas.   The demonstrations were shocking. Students waved Taliban flags at a “pro-Palestine” demonstration at Florida Atlantic University. Hundreds of UCLA […]

America’s cultural cancer manifests itself in many ways, but no symptom is more telling than our low military recruitment. Last year the Army hit only 75% of its recruiting target, while other services had to scramble to meet theirs.
