Look around the world and you would expect the United Nations to be busy. There are wars, insurgencies and uprisings everywhere. Millions of refugees are desperately fleeing conflict. Radical Islamist jihadists commit murder and mayhem around the globe. Rogue regimes like Iran and North Korea threaten peace and stability. Tyranny reasserts itself in Russia and China. However, the global organization doesn't spend all its time on such mundane matters.
Who would have guessed that the proper response to white supremacists marching in Charlottesville was to encourage election fraud?
We need a statute of limitations on expecting historical figures to be perfect and prosecuting them for thought crimes.
When the Senate confirmed Judge David Nye to a federal district judgeship in Idaho, he became an acute illustration of what's wrong in Washington right now.
It's no secret President Trump is working to create thousands more American energy jobs, reduce regulations on energy producers and restore parity to the tax code.
President Donald Trump issued an executive order to stop subsidizing cities that obstruct immigration law. Chicago filed suit in response. Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants to continue collecting federal dollars while ignoring federal policy.
There are moments when you almost feel the Earth's axis shift. That happened the other day when Sen. Chuck Schumer blamed someone for something, and it wasn't Donald Trump.
Despite the massive media attention given to the claim that Russia attempted to influence last year's election, the greatest threat to American democracy is vote fraud at home.
I have spent my life in public service and public policy fighting for conservative ideals. Limited government, free-market policies, traditional values, American exceptionalism — these are the issues that gave rise to the Reagan Revolution and the modern day Republican Party.
If you want to read what official Washington thinks, you need only pick up a copy of the Washington Post. It's the company newsletter for the federal government. And the Post is filled with doomsday articles about President Donald Trump's administration.
The U.S. shale industry is nothing if not resilient. OPEC — a cartel of petrostates holding the world's largest and cheapest oil reserves — leverages state control over its oil resources to undermine America's competitive producers. Thanks to its latest moves, the U.S. energy industry is again under pressure, reminding us that we must take stronger action to ensure our energy security and energy sovereignty. We can boost these efforts by forming an OPEC Commission, which will appoint a panel of experts to study OPEC's impact on the U.S. economy and offer recommendations to the president and Congress to protect American interests.
President Donald Trump's critics fixate on his tweets and then wonder why he spends so much time responding to their attacks. But why do they devote so much attention to his tweets in the first place? Maybe they realize that many Americans are happy to finally have a president who fights back.
Thirty years after President Reagan seized upon an historic opportunity to bring down the Iron Curtain, there are growing indications that President Trump can make similarly historic strides in the conflict between the U.S. and the new evil of our time: Islamic extremism.
While the Left promotes fake scandals, President Donald Trump proposes real change. Congressional Republicans should keep their eyes on the ball and enact his reforms into law.
Washington is in constant crisis. Naturally the media blames President Donald Trump. But his critics are the ones to blame: they still don't accept the results of last November's election.
Mr. President, when you visit southern Ohio on Wednesday to talk about rebuilding our nation's infrastructure, please keep four words in mind: Grow the Electrical Grid!
Trade with other nations is indispensable to America's sustained economic vitality — and vital to maintaining our nation's position of prominence within the global economy. Over the last two and a half centuries, American workers have consistently defined (and redefined) industry and innovation — giving rise to unprecedented opportunity and prosperity for generations of our citizens.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Ca.) says there is something "tragically wrong" with President Donald Trump. His advisers and friends are "a bunch of scumbags." He is creating "chaos and division."
This week, the energy ministers of petrostates around the world gather — yet again — in Vienna for the semi-annual OPEC meeting — an absurd confab in which the holders of the world's cheapest and largest oil reserves discuss how they can manage global oil supply to their benefit. Let this meeting serve as a reminder to us in the United States that although our energy security has improved, there is far more to be done to protect us from the machinations of this cartel, and the other economic and security consequences of our oil dependence.
President Donald Trump has not found Washington to be easy going. Even the United Nations is against him. The UN, and I am not making this up, warns that cutting back government could violate "the right to social security of the people in the United States."
