What Are Your Child’s Passions?
If you ask most young people today if they have any hobbies, you will receive one of four answers.
Trump’s Trade Triumph
The media and other Trump haters can’t seem to let themselves admit it, but President Donald Trump scored a big victory for the American economy on trade last week.
What’s Not to Like About Trump Policies?
Like a baseball team that is way behind going into the fifth inning, Democrats (and socialists) are hoping for the political equivalent of a rainout, so that the game President Trump is winning will be canceled, allowing them time to regroup.

Fourth-Warmest Year on Record? The Devil’s in the Details
I continue to examine the idea that relatively minute increases in water vapor brought on by cyclically warmed oceans is the reason for the earth’s warming. *But the way warming is portrayed must be looked at closely.* It is very real and adds to forecast problems, but as far as the hysteria you see whipped up in relation to mankind’s self-destructing, it’s just that to me — hysteria.
Teen Bullied by Anti-Trump Goons Honored by Gold Company
Ashton Hess, the 17-year-old who was attacked by a pair of anti-Trump goons in Seattle, was a guest on my nationally syndicated radio show the other day. Ashton and his family were on vacation when one of the thugs smacked him in the head and another grabbed his “Make America Great Again” ball cap.
Unleashing America’s Entrepreneurial Spirit
There’s no doubt about it: President Donald J. Trump has breathed new life into the American economy! With record-breaking 4.1% growth in GDP, what anti-Trump critics said was impossible during the 2016 campaign just became reality. Unemployment is low, business is booming, and billions of dollars that were sitting offshore are now reentering our borders.
The Insidious Metaphor of Trade as ‘War’
Our civic and political discourse is replete with metaphors.
Dreamers and Schemers
When the likes of Schumer and Pelosi aren’t shedding crocodile tears over the separation of illegal alien parents from their illegal alien children, they’re carrying on about the plight of so-called illegal alien dreamers.

Mothers and the Church
The mother of a gaggle of adult children was talking about the hard realities of watching a child walk away from your family’s values, including its faith.
Ocasio-Cortez Could Learn a Thing or Two About Socialism From Trump
For three months in 1917, Leon Trotsky lived in the Bronx, just south of the congressional district where Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently defeated a 10-term incumbent in a Democratic primary.

Europe Heat Wave: Questioning Man’s Attribution
I sit in stunned amazement over the complete lack of intellectual curiosity to look at other ideas.
Making America Great Again
The U.S. economy grew at a strong rate of 4.1% in the second quarter of the year. That’s the strongest economic growth in four years and one of the best quarters in the past decade. Gee, I wonder what changed?
House of Bill Repute: GOP Heads Into August at Record Pace
If traffic was a little lighter in D.C. yesterday morning, commuters can thank Congress. After a round of Thursday votes, House leaders turned out the lights and headed back to their districts until Labor Day.
Does Diversity Really Unite Us? Citizenship and Immigration
President Trump’s zero-tolerance policy for illegal border crossers has provoked a hysterical reaction from Democrats, establishment Republicans, the progressive-liberal media, Hollywood radicals, and the deep state. What particularly motivated the ire of these Trump-haters was the fact that the zero-tolerance policy would require the separation of parents and children at the border. The hysteria was, of course, completely insincere and fabricated, given that the policy of separating children and parents was nothing new — it had been a policy of the Obama and Bush administrations as well.
Tax Cuts Only Help the Wealthy, Right? American Paychecks Show Otherwise
Like you, we are seeing something wonderful and — until recently — unusual as we enter stores: taped to the front window or hanging behind the counter is a “Help Wanted” sign.
Why Russia? Why Not Mexico?
When it comes to identifying America’s enemies, I find it bizarre that the Left remains focused like a laser on Russia. For one thing, throughout the 20th century, Democrats loved the Soviet Union. No matter what Stalin or any of the other butchers did, the American Left could always be counted on to defend them.

A Man of God Sins Against My Father
If a liberal like Jesse Jackson went on CNN and accused my father of being a “known womanizer” like President Trump, conservatives across America would go off the rails.
Fighting for Faith
As you know, in May President Trump appointed me to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. I am pleased to report that the commission has made securing Pastor Andrew Brunson’s freedom a top priority, and we took a big step in that direction Wednesday.
U.S. Puts Its Money Where Its Freedom Is
Heading into the first-ever ministerial on religious liberty, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wanted people to know: “We expect this to be far more than talk.”
