If we stop telling the truth about who built this country and why, we lose the anchor that held generations steady and the direction that will keep us prosperous. If we pretend that America was built by people and cultures that quite literally could not have built America, then we aren’t just misremembering our past, we are losing the future that our actual ancestors secured for us. That line lands because it points to a simple fact: history shapes habits, laws, and the institutions that let free people flourish. Removing the hard edges of that story softens the institutions and…

President Trump met with his national security team Monday evening at the White House as controversy grew over a Sept. 2 U.S. military strike on a Venezuelan boat suspected of carrying. The scene in the West Wing was the kind of no-nonsense, results-focused briefing the country expects when national security questions get serious. Officials gathered to review what happened, why it happened, and how to answer growing public concern without second-guessing troops on the ground. That clarity matters when events unfold quickly and critics move faster than the facts. From a Republican perspective, the primary job of any commander in…

As the first anniversary of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killing approaches, the accused is headed to court this week to try to block prosecutors from using certain evidence in the case. The case that stunned corporate and civic circles a year ago has moved from headline shock to technical legal battle.

Kristi Noem said Sunday the Biden administration is squarely to blame for any vetting failures that occurred in resettling the Afghan refugee accused of shooting two Nation. Republican leaders are blunt: when federal resettlement programs let dangerous people slip through, it is the administration that bears responsibility. This story centers on an Afghan refugee who allegedly shot two people after resettlement, and the criticism from conservatives focuses on systemic failures. The claim is that national security was sacrificed to meet politically driven relocation goals. Critics point to rushed processing, incomplete background checks, and a chaotic withdrawal as the root causes…

The Supreme Court has a defining couple of weeks ahead of it, and the eyes of the country are watching how justices will handle cases that test the limits of the Constitution, administrative power, and basic liberties. The court’s calendar is stacked with decisions that could reshape how Americans experience government and law in everyday life. Conservative observers are particularly focused on whether the justices will curb agency overreach and restore clear, text-based limits on federal power. The coming rulings could either reinforce judicial restraint or signal continued tolerance for an expanding administrative state that sidelines voters and lawmakers. One…
