Here’s How to End the Trump-Democrat Border Wall Standoff

Tonight, President Trump will deliver an address from the Oval Office on immigration and the ongoing government shutdown. Trump's speech will be followed by remarks from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Judging from the format alone, it seems unlikely that either side is prepared to make much in the way of concessions.[...]

Could 2019 Mark the End of the Women’s March?

Since its creation in 2017, the ‘Women’s March’ has evolved into a series of annual events across the country and a movement that enshrines pro-abortion, anti-family, and anti-women policies. However, with discord among the movement becoming public, a question is increasingly being raised: Is the future of the Women’s March crumbling?[...]

2020 Preview: Will One of These Long Shots Emerge as a Contender?

It’s 2019, and the new Congress has been sworn in, with Nancy Pelosi reclaiming the speakership after eight years in the minority. The 2020 Democratic presidential primaries are underway in earnest, as the first big name -- Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren -- has formed an exploratory committee (and did a hilariously fake Instagram live video). In the first two parts of our 2020 preview series, we looked at the front runners and the middle tier. Now we’re looking at the bottom tier: those candidates who are big enough names to warrant attention, but face the most uphill climb of all.[...]

The Electric Vehicle Tax Credit Is Dead — And Should Stay That Way

At the conclusion of 2018 -- perhaps resulting from the ongoing government shutdown -- Congress managed to do the unthinkable: they actually allowed a bad government program to expire. Of course, in Washington bad ideas never die (they just hibernate), so in preparation for when Congress reconvenes, here is why the electric vehicle tax credit is a zombie that should stay dead.[...]

President Trump’s Syria Decision Draws on Hard Lessons from History

President Trump recently expressed his intent to withdraw US forces from Syria and Afghanistan. This should not be a major surprise. Trump campaigned in 2016 on an America First message, taking aim at many of the previous two administrations' policies. He blasted American intervention in Iraq and proclaimed that we should leave Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in power, allowing him to fight ISIS in Syria. He voiced a desire to “get along” with Russia and even suggested that NATO may be unnecessary. He criticized nation building and promised to build a military so great and powerful that we would never have to use it. And, he promised not to “surrender American sovereignty to the false song of globalism.” Therefore, no one should be shocked by his recent announcement.[...]
