                            October 27, 2026Gas Attack -- Blue States Have the Highest Prices at the Pump By Stephen Moore
  Democrats can't seem to decide whether they want higher or lower gas prices. On the one hand, they're promising that if they win a majority in Congress, they will work to bring down prices at the pump. On the other hand, they can't bring down prices in their own blue states.

                            October 13, 2026Medicare for Nobody By Stephen Moore
 Political pros will remember that a dozen or so years ago, the Democrats produced a famous (or infamous) TV ad showing a man wheeling an elderly lady in a wheelchair up a path to an overlook on a mountain. At the end of the ad, the man pushes the woman out of her chair and off the cliff.

                            October 6, 2026Why Are Americans So Pessimistic? By Stephen Moore
In nearly every way, Americans have more material wealth, better health, better housing and more of just about everything than ever before. Not just the rich, but nearly everyone.
September 29, 2026Three Easy Ways to Reduce Pain at the Pump By Stephen Moore
        I've always argued that the easiest way for families to gauge the health of the economy is to check the daily gas price. Drivers see the 50-foot-high signs in every community in America. They stare us right in the face.
September 22, 2026Al Gore's Inconvenient Lies  By Stephen Moore
   It was 20 years ago that Al Gore's book "An Inconvenient Truth" was published, and ... well, it turns out that the truth was inconvenient -- for Al and his band of apocalyptics.
September 15, 2026The Marriage Deficit Is an Economic Catastrophe By Stephen Moore
I'm thrashing for explanations and solutions to this deeply troubling social trend. Obviously, we are not returning to the "Father Knows Best" norms of the 1950s or 1960s.

        The world has spent $9 trillion to combat climate change since 2020. That is a World War II-type number.

                            September 2, 2026Stop the Democrats' Scheme to Pack the Supreme Court By Stephen Moore
   Democrats are in a quandary over the Supreme Court. Every four years, they've warned their voters that electing a Republican president will lead to more conservative Supreme Court justices. And yet since Ronald Reagan's election in 1980 through today, they've lost more presidential elections than they've won. Maybe the voters are telling Democrats something. Maybe Americans don't want the court packed with Sonia Sotomayors who make up or rewrite the laws as they see fit.

   Thank God, no, we aren't going bust as a nation, despite our gargantuan $40 trillion national debt.

                            August 18, 2026Net Zero Is Dead and Gone By Stephen Moore
        It was only a few years ago when the climate change alarms and green energy fad were all the rage at the White House and corporate board rooms. Former President Joe Biden's policies were all tilted to ending fossil fuels, and many of America's biggest corporations embraced the concept of net-zero fossil fuels. This was the movement during the Biden years to eliminate virtually ALL oil, natural gas and coal production, and replace these energy sources with windmills, solar panels and electric vehicles.

   New inventions and technologies, from the lightbulb to the farm tractor to the automobile to the laptop computer to Uber drivers, cause serious job market disruptions. They also cause a backlash, as horse and buggy operators, cab drivers, video rental stores and typewriter makers inevitably predicted chaos and job losses.

                            August 4, 2026Five Lessons Learned From the Fauci Fiasco By Stephen Moore
        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.

                            July 28, 2026Anthony Fauci: Dr. Wrong By Stephen Moore
   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.

        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.

                            June 30, 2026What England Can Teach Us About 'Democratic Socialism' By Stephen Moore
        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.
