On Tuesday, Judge Merchan held Donald Trump in contempt of court and fined him $9,000 for violating a gag order. Trump should have reached into his wallet, grabbed the $9,000 in cash and thrown it at the judge and said: “Here, go bang Stormy Daniels eight times.” It’s funny: A city that can’t keep violent felons in jail wants to …

Liars don’t win trials.The truth does.That’s how it’s supposed to work, anyway. Fulfilling that maxim is the challenge for the defense in the Manhattan trial of Donald Trump.Lawyers for the former President are tasked with exposing the legal deceit of District Attorney Alvin Bragg and the chronic dishonesty of his star witness, Michael Cohen.Compounding the challenge is a presiding judge, …

Americans are watching in disgust as chaos spreads at college campuses across our country. Jewish students and faculty fear for their safety as antisemitism goes unchecked, and the rule of law is abandoned by morally bankrupt university leaders taking their lead from President Joe Biden. Enough is enough. It is time to restore law, order, and moral decency to Columbia …

Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently struck yet another blow to conscientious Americans when it amended rules pertaining toSection 1557 of the Affordable Care Act to require people of faith to fund elective …

Get ready for more energy shortages. The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) power plant rule was finalized last week, and it is bad news for America’s energy supply. Under the new rule, all coal plants that plan to stay open beyond 2039 and any new natural gas plant would have to cut or capture 90% of their carbon dioxide emissions by …
