As we head into the new year and the kickoff to the Roaring Twenties 2.0 (and they will roar), policymakers will be faced with some incredibly important decisions. Several issues will take center stage, ones with the potential to significantly shape our future, from immigration reform to college loan debt.
President Trump's United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is finally up for a vote this week — just in time for Christmas.
s we head into the Christmas season, religious liberty in America continues to be under attack, and it's not just about whether people can say "Merry Christmas" in public places. With the recent controversy over Chick-fil-A bowing to pressure to end its financial support of charities the far left has labeled as "anti-gay," organizations that dare to hold onto certain deeply held religious beliefs will likely be punished for it.
With Thanksgiving approaching, a common complaint I hear is that the mix of political views at holiday gatherings can create some tense moments. However, there's no need to dread conflict during dinner. In fact, a conversation handled the right way may actually show your family that they have more in common than they think.
The America that we cherish and hope to pass on to the next generation depends on the promise that we have a military strong enough to protect it and everything it stands for. Without that kind of military might to defend us from our enemies and to deter potential adversaries, everything that America is and was meant to be could be lost — our freedom, our prosperity, and our very way of life.
The rising tide of socialism in America is reaching a critical point as more Americans warm up to the idea of bigger, more intrusive government.
I was recently at the United Nations General Assembly when President Donald Trump became the first sitting U.S. president in history to convene a meeting at the U.N. solely devoted to protecting religious liberty.
The growth policies of President Trump have brought the United States economy back to life. Lower taxes and fewer regulations have put more money in the pockets of Americans, particularly lower wage workers.

September 17th commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787. For most people, it's just another Tuesday. Why should anyone care?
This week, we honor the memories of those fellow Americans we lost in New York, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. We also remember the acts of heroism of America's first responders, our armed forces, and average Americans. There were other individuals, often overlooked, who were instrumental on that day and who were critical to helping America recover in the aftermath. They were this country's federal civilian workforce.
Back-to-school on America's college campuses can be an exciting time for parents and students alike. But if your college freshman comes home for Thanksgiving Break and you no longer recognize the person you dropped off just three months prior, that excitement may turn to shock, or even anger.
The recent uproar over the crime and despair in Baltimore has shined a national spotlight on the fact that people have been waiting years for government solutions to fix the problems plaguing America's inner cities — solutions that seldom, if ever, come.
At The Heritage Foundation, we're always thinking about ways to talk to new and non-traditional audiences about how conservative principles can create the greatest freedom, opportunity, prosperity and civil society for the American people.
I am not a conservative in spite of the fact that I came out of poverty. I am a conservative because of it.
Few may realize the important role that think tanks play as places where world leaders come to share ideas, discuss world problems, and seek solutions to the issues their countries face.

Many Americans probably have no idea of the long history of the "go back to your country" taunt.
This week, as Americans commemorate Independence Day and the creation of the most free, most prosperous nation on earth, we will inevitably hear from those who say there's no reason to celebrate a country where not everyone gained their freedom or their equality in 1776.
There's no way around it: big government proposals require big public scrutiny.
