Taking the Constitution Seriously

The U.S. Constitution was crafted in 1787 both to establish a new central government and to limit it. Some of the limitations are direct, some are subtle, and some are hidden. The chief instrument of limitation is the separation of powers, the brainchild of James Madison.

The late Justice Antonin Scalia called the separation of powers the most ...Read more

While Nazi Profiteers Get a Free Pass, the Left Burns Teslas

Civil disobedience practiced by the likes of Henry David Thoreau and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one thing. Crimes against people or property for political ends are quite another. The latter risks return to the law of the jungle, a cure worse than the disease.

That provides the framework to assess the proliferation of criminal attacks on ...Read more

Are Trump's New Tariffs 'Liberation'? Judge for Yourself.

At this writing, President Donald Trump plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on imports from around the world. We're told that "Liberation Day" tariffs will raise $6 trillion in federal revenue over the next decade, plus another trillion from automobile tariffs. But the only true "liberation" will be us Americans -- consumers and taxpayers -- ...Read more

Cal Thomas: Injustice in Nashville

From the Right / Cal Thomas /

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

There is a man who has spent nearly 30 years on death row in a Nashville prison for murders that substantial evidence shows he did not commit.

His name is Kevin Burns...Read more

A US-Congo Minerals Deal: A Defeat For Communist China?

From the Right / Austin Bay /

In mid-February, a firm representing a Democratic Republic of the Congo legislator contacted several U.S. officials. The recipients included Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The letter sketched a sub-Saharan version of President Donald Trump's Ukraine minerals peace initiative. Would the U.S. be interested in acquiring or investing in Congo's ...Read more

Trump Plays Cat to Canada's Mouse

From the Right / Debra Saunders /

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump likes to troll Canada. He has been threatening our neighbor to the north with additional tariffs, and he thinks it's funny to dangle his dream of turning our longtime trading partner into America's 51st state.

And yet Wednesday in the Rose Garden, when Trump declared a national emergency and announced a 10...Read more

Happy Liberation Day? More Like Tariff Doomsday

From the Right / S.E. Cupp /

Here’s a nice trick for the misanthropic: Mention “import substitution industrialization” at the next dinner party you attend, and watch eyes glaze over and bodies slowly depart your general area.

Talking economic theory isn’t usually exciting. And talking trade theory, including the supporting theory for tariffs, even less so.

But, ...Read more

Shut Down the Department of Education ASAP

From the Right / Star Parker /

A recent report from the American Enterprise Institute summarizes results from the most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress -- also known as the nation's report card.

The test, given every two years, reports scores of our nation's children in reading and math at the fourth grade and eighth grade levels.

AEI characterizes the ...Read more

Roadmap to Reform CDC -- Currently the Centers for Disaster and Confusion

From the Right / Betsy McCaughey /

A deadly fungus is spreading like crazy across the U.S., sickening and killing hospital patients, and the federal response has been ineffectual at best.

It's in half the states, including New York, with soaring annual increases in the number of patients sickened, per the American Journal of Infection Control.

The Centers for Disease Control ...Read more

A $30K Penalty For Not Cutting Your Lawn is Absurdly Excessive

From the Right / John Stossel /

It's finally spring. Better mow your lawn. If you don't, your town government may fine you thousands of dollars a day. Worse, if you can't pay the fine, they may confiscate your home.

Six years ago, in Dunedin, Florida, Jim Ficken let his grass grow. His mom had died, and he'd left town to take care of her estate. He asked a friend to cut his ...Read more

The President Who Set the Precedent Against a Third Term

When President George Washington was in his second term, there was nothing in the Constitution that prevented him from seeking a third.

But he did not.

In his Farewell Address in 1796, Washington explained why he was not seeking another term.

"The period for a new election of a Citizen, to Administer the Executive government of the United ...Read more

Jeffrey Goldberg Congratulates Himself All Over PBS!

From the Right / Tim Graham /

At the Capitol grilling of the PBS and NPR CEOs on March 26, Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas) asked PBS boss Paula Kerger, "Would you believe that PBS is fair and objective and nonpartisan?"

Kerger said, "Yes."

Fallon then noted that on "Washington Week with The Atlantic" in 2023, host and Atlantic magazine editor Jeffrey Goldberg pronounced ...Read more

Why Democrats Hate DOGE and Love Waste

From the Right / Stephen Moore /

If you haven't watched the Bret Baier interviews on Fox News with Elon Musk and the other executives who have given their time and expertise to exposing the rampant fraud and inefficiency of our federal government, I urge you to do so.

It will infuriate you -- and that's what we need right now.

These Department of Government Efficiency ...Read more

What's Just as Important as Free Speech? A Few Things, Actually.

SAN DIEGO -- I occasionally find myself speaking to Latino immigrants, legal and otherwise.

I don't waste time telling those folks about their rights. That information is important, but they can get it from immigration lawyers or Spanish-language media.

Instead, I tell the migrants about something they're not likely to hear much about while ...Read more

Hey, Trump, what happened to punting reproductive rights to the states?

From the Right / Rachel Marsden /

PARIS — U.S. President Donald Trump just wrapped up Women’s History Month by crowning himself the “Fertilization President.”

The claim is almost as unsettling as the time a guy at a soirée here in France casually mentioned that under Vichy France's Nazi rule, I would have been forced to reproduce — with him.

Both of these comments ...Read more

SNAP Shouldn't Subsidize Slurpees

From the Right / Victor Joecks /

Even Chicken Little would be exhausted trying to keep up with what Democrats claim President Donald Trump wants to do.

Just look at the news. On Tuesday, Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., said that Republican cuts to SNAP "are the difference between life and death for the many in the communities that we serve." SNAP is the rebranded food stamps ...Read more

The End of an Era in Homer City

From the Right / Salena Zito /

HOMER CITY, Pennsylvania -- On March 22 at 7 a.m., Shawn Steffee stood on a hill overlooking the Homer City Generating Station with his family and the community he grew up with. They were all looking at Pennsylvania's largest coal-fired power plant for the last time -- the plant he and his father, uncles, brother and the union he had guided ...Read more

A Heretic in the White House

From the Right / Cal Thomas /

For the Evangelical Christians who have given – and still give – overwhelming support to President Trump while refusing to criticize him for language and behavior they would presumably denounce in a fellow church member, here’s an easy one for you.

There’s a heretic inside the ...Read more

Trump Is Right To Want Open Sea Lanes

From the Right / Rich Lowry /

Is it worth it to the United States to enforce freedom of navigation on the seas?

That question was a subplot in the instantly famous leaked Signal chat over an operation to hit Houthi targets in Yemen.

Vice President J.D. Vance expressed skepticism, noting that more European than U.S. trade passes through the Suez Canal. Defense Secretary ...Read more

Musk Touts DOGE on Fox News

From the Right / Debra Saunders /

WASHINGTON -- It's not what DOGE is doing; it's how DOGE is doing it. That's been the Beltway take on the dream child of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, the Department of Government Efficiency. Or, "the so-called Department of Government Efficiency," as The New York Times put it.

That's probably why Musk and DOGE lieutenants sat down ...Read more
