In March, in a massive diplomatic failure, …

Imagine wanting to crush independent contractors and small businesses so badly that you would go after your own supporters. In California, that scenario is becoming a reality as Gov. Gavin Newsom’s California Employment Development Department (EDD) is going after the state’s sacred cow – Hollywood! You may not be sympathetic to Californians or to Hollywood, but don’t let that take …

Editor’s note: This op-ed is adapted from an article that first appeared in City Journal. More than 40 years have passed since the publication of one of the most important public-policy essays ever written.

Skeptical about the relative scale …

On his first day in office, President Biden made it clear that he wanted amnesty for nearly 12 million undocumented migrants and that he would no longer pursue policies that prevented others from coming to America.

The voices of the brave individuals who perished 35 years ago in the Tiananmen Square massacre continue to echo across our collective conscience. On that day, the People’s Liberation Army, acting on the orders of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) leadership, murdered and injured thousands of peaceful pro-democracy protesters calling for political reform and an end to corruption. The image …
