Stop Socialism. Choose Freedom.

Ten years ago today, a new American political movement announced its presence by hosting "Tax Day Tea Parties" all over the country. 1.2 million activists participated, many of whom were attending the first political event they had ever been to. It was the birth of a new crusade for liberty, and it had serious consequences for the politics of our nation - just ask Barack Obama, whose legislative agenda was stymied for the last three-quarters of his presidency by the opposition of the Tea Party and the men and women it helped elect to the Congress.

Allegations against Jim Jordan are thin on facts

Political journalists have the unsavory penchant for not allowing facts — or, in some cases, a lack of facts — to get in the way of a good story. In the case of the manufactured scandal surrounding what U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan knew (if anything) about the alleged abuse of student athletes at Ohio State University 30 years ago, the mainstream media outlets have lost sight of two things glaringly absent from the narrative — credible witnesses and any kind of concrete evidence.

Why Congress must act on the internet sales tax

The Supreme Court's recent ruling in Wayfair v. South Dakota on internet sales taxes ushers in new questions about e-commerce, federalism and even the U.S. Constitution's Commerce Clause.

A year of Justice Gorsuch presages a lasting Trump legacy

President Trump can cut taxes, build the wall, rebuild the military, pull us out of disastrous agreements such as the Paris climate accord and the Iran nuclear deal, and he can make America great again in many ways. But nothing he does will transcend or outlive his impact on the U.S. Supreme Court, beginning with the service of Justice Neil Gorsuch.

America needs a tea party Congress

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is fond of saying, "There's no education in the second kick of a mule." By his standard, conservatives have been kicked by that mule way too often.

U.S. patent protections imperiled

When Americans hear the phrase "America first," it's a safe bet they don't think of being in 12th place - in anything, but especially not in an area as vital to our American identity as innovation.

Trump’s trade, tariff, Open Skies policies
