On April 28, a critical "instability" disrupted electrical power grids in Spain, Portugal and parts of France. Extensive blackouts lasted for hours.

Whatever the cause, the widespread power loss in three first-world ...Read more

Steve Jobs co-founded Apple when he was 21 years old.

Nine years later, at age 30, he was purged and fired from the company he founded and built by the professional management he helped recruit.

Eleven years later, after that management brought the firm to the edge of bankruptcy, Jobs returned to the helm and saved the company.

In 1997, ...Read more

New Yorkers are getting robbed blind.

Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state's two legislative leaders announced a budget deal Monday night on how much to tax New Yorkers and how much the state government will spend in the coming fiscal year, which starts June 1.

From the smattering of information available, it's likely this deal will necessitate ...Read more

Government makes most things worse. Lyndon Johnson launched a War on Poverty; Richard Nixon a War on Drugs. Both had good intentions, but their "wars" do more harm than good. I believed the War on Poverty would lift people out of poverty. At the time I was a naive Princeton student who believed my professors when they said, "It's wrong that in ...Read more

This story -- that sadly has a tragic ending -- began 15 years ago when an immigration court looked at the case of a Guatemalan national named Jose Paxtor-Oxlaj.

He was arrested in Oklahoma in 2023 -- 13 years after he had been deported.

"A check of records confirmed Paxtor's identity and confirmed he is an alien who was ordered removed by ...Read more

At the 100-day mark, it's an obvious fact that the border is now secure. Illegal immigration is now a trickle. The network "news" folks hate to mention it. But they are eager to cite polls that find Trump's immigration approval number is declining. Forget the successes, and drive the notion that he's losing juice in the polls.

To troll the anti...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- Losing a presidential election is bad enough. But still not understanding why you lost several months later? Well, that's even worse. You don't want to end up there.

In politics, a little introspection can go a long way. After all, if you don't know what's broken, how can you fix it? And if you can't identify mistakes, ...Read more

President Donald Trump's record as the deregulation president is nearly unparalleled. In his first 100 days in office, he has already identified hundreds of billions of dollars of potential deregulation savings in the areas of energy, education and housing.

Hooray.

But some of his new regulators in the Justice Department and at the Federal ...Read more

If you break a system, you can't be upset when fixing that system requires a solution that's outside the normal operation of the system.

Congressional Democrats continue to demand the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to America. In March, the Trump administration deported him to El Salvador. Congressional Democrats, including Sen. Chris Van ...Read more

Dana Perino has a superpower.

It is a special gift that has nothing to do with her position as a Fox News anchor or her former role as press secretary for former President George W. Bush. Instead, it has everything to do with her ability to guide young people as they navigate the minefields of their professional and personal lives.

In short,...Read more

WASHINGTON -- In all my years of covering immigration politics, I've never seen this kind of clarity. During a White House press briefing Monday morning, Tom Homan, President Donald Trump's border czar, had a message to migrants living illegally in the United States: Go home.

If you don't, he explained, we'll find you, we'll prosecute you and...Read more

If Joe Biden effectuated his immigration policy without due process, why can't Donald Trump do the same with his?

That's the question raised by Joe Biden's effortlessly permitting millions of people to enter the country illegally and Donald Trump's having to go through extensive exertions to remove (or keep removed) one illegal immigrant, ...Read more

Why are Democrat politicians and judges so hysterical and desperate to protect illegal alien thugs, gangsters, gangbangers and terrorists?

Here's another one ...

Why do Democrat politicians and judges care more about foreign criminals who have illegally invaded our country ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Bryan Riley is not a fan of President Donald Trump's tariffs -- and that's painful for him. "I want him to succeed," Riley told me. "I work at the National Taxpayers Union."

The NTU is hardly an anti-Trump institution. But as director of NTU's Free Trade Initiative, Riley fears the Trump tariffs are "undermining his prospects ...Read more

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth finds himself under fire again -- this time from political skeptics or foes across the political spectrum. But just as the case was during the recent presidential transition period, when Trump opponents resuscitated the discredited 2018 Brett Kavanaugh/Christine Blasey Ford playbook in an attempt to derail ...Read more

During oral arguments in the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson unintentionally made a practical and convincing case for universal school choice.

A few years back, the Montgomery County, Maryland, school board instituted an "LGBTQ-inclusive" curriculum that included storybooks for kids as young as ...Read more
