By making essential drugs affordable, reshoring production, and prioritizing patients over politics, President Trump has reframed the national conversation.
The Constitution Doesn’t Grant Birthright Citizenship to Illegal Immigrants
A proper reading of the 14th Amendment is why children of illegal immigrants should not be automatically granted birthright citizenship.
Why Republicans Lost This Election
Republicans have relied on enthusiasm rather than structure, focusing on a few symbolic races while neglecting others. Enthusiasm wins rallies, not elections.

It’s the beginning of what could be a much broader effort to finally abolish the Department, which has been ineffective and harmful to American education for decades.
Illegal Immigrants Are on Medicaid — Taxpayers Deserve the Truth
By siding with loopholes and manipulation over taxpayers, Democrats have made clear they would rather protect benefits for noncitizens than protect the program for Americans.
Trump Should Refuse the Nobel Peace Prize if Awarded
The Nobel Peace Prize was once the world’s most prestigious recognition of leadership in the pursuit of peace. Today, its credibility is collapsing.
