COVID-19 was a traumatic experience for our families, small businesses, schools and country. Understandably, people don't like thinking or talking about it. But we must. We now know, thanks to Sen. Rand Paul's doggedness and Anthony Fauci's supreme arrogance that he freely expresses in his diary, almost every decision made by the medical industrial complex was exactly the wrong thing to do.
Poor Anthony Fauci -- the man who became an overnight celebrity when deadly COVID-19 hit these shores. As time has gone on, and the catastrophic consequences of Fauci's advice have become more apparent, Fauci's hero status has faded. And now with the publication of his "diaries" during the COVID-19 year of 2020, it looks as though this megalomaniac should be sitting in the corner with a dunce cap on.
Last week I took a daylong field trip touring a giant data center near Dulles International Airport in Loudon County, Virginia. The facility is owned and operated by CloudHQ.
The New York Stock Exchange opened its doors over 230 years ago. It has been one of the iconic symbols of America's economic might for more than two centuries.
JD Vance has served admirably as Donald Trump's vice president and has been a true asset to the administration. Right now, he's favored to be the next Republican nominee for president when 2028 rolls around. But there are many other viable contenders.
If you want to see modern-day socialism in action, look no further than to the other side of the pond at not-so-jolly old England. The story of Britain's decline is a warning signal to those here in the States who are thrilled by the warm embrace of socialism.
Why are Democrats and their teachers union masters trying to shoot down parental choice in education even when we now have so many examples of these programs working?
What cruel irony that we learned last week that Social Security is going broke even sooner than we thought. The Social Security trust fund will be exhausted in 2032, according to the latest Trustees Report. How odd that it is even referred to as a "trust fund," because there is no trust, and there is no fund.
Last week's blockbuster jobs report, with more than 265,000 jobs added when including upward employment revisions, was very welcome news to almost all Americans. The exception would be the economists of the left who throughout Donald Trump's now-five-and-a-half years in the White House keep getting the economy dead wrong.
Nearly everyone who is a college sports fan, myself included, knows the state of affairs in the NCAA is one fine mess. Especially regarding football and men's basketball, the two major money-making sports, things have changed massively in the last few years -- and mostly not in a good way.
Billionaires are getting a bad name. "Eat the rich" is the new mantra of the Left's greed and envy lobby.
Those of us of a certain age -- born before about 1970 -- have fond memories of the mailman (yes, that's what we called him, not "postal carrier") dropping off a pile of letters and cards into the mailbox down the driveway six days a week.
The new consumer prices report showing a 3.8% price rise in April confirms what Americans have been complaining about for months: Inflation is continuing to squeeze family budgets.
Polls show Americans are angry -- and rightly so -- at accelerating medical bills. Meanwhile, the insurers and hospitals keep raking in record profits.
You aren't going to believe the latest lawsuit fad in America: suing companies as monopolistic for cutting prices to consumers. In legal mumbo jumbo, this is called "predatory pricing" -- keeping prices lower than charged by competitors. The idea is to keep prices so low that rival firms can't compete. Quick, throw Walmart, Home Depot and McDonald's in jail.
There's a famous scene in the movie "The Graduate" in which a young Dustin Hoffman receives this one-word bit of career advice from a businessman: "plastics."
Democrats keep attacking President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 as a tax cut for the rich. But the data show that the average family gained roughly $2,000 on their lower tax bill for this year. Every Democrat in Congress voted no, even as they complain of a "middle-class affordability crisis." Maybe that's because to rich and famous limousine liberal Democrats, $2,000 is peanuts. But not for the rest of us.
There are few things in life more terrifying than a cancer diagnosis, as any victim of this horrible disease will tell you.
For most of the last 40 years, pollsters have asked voters: Which party do you trust more on health care? The answer has been pretty much the same over this whole period. Voters trust Democrats more, sometimes by a two-to-one margin.
