The federal government owns multiple trillions of dollars of federal assets -- from land, to buildings, to patent rights, to mineral rights, to immigrant visas, to oil fields to trucks and trains and unused office furniture equipment.

The government could earn well over $1 trillion and perhaps as much as $10 trillion by selling off these assets...Read more

First, let me say this out loud -- and even I can't believe what I'm about to say:

President Donald Trump has done more in his first four days than my old hero Ronald Reagan did in eight years.

I'm a conservative talk show host. I've hosted my national TV and radio shows for 10 years. Trump has already put in motion much, if not almost all, of...Read more

WASHINGTON -- What did President Donald Trump learn during his four-year hiatus from the White House? For one thing, he seems to have learned how to listen. But also, to judge by the first week of his second term, Trump 2.0 seems more focused, mission-driven and prepared to get things done at warp speed.

Here's a short list of other lessons ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Democrats are afraid, very afraid. This week, 12 Senate Democrats and 46 House Democrats joined Republicans in voting for the Laken Riley Act, which requires the Department of Homeland Security to detain unauthorized immigrants who have been arrested for burglary, theft, larceny or shoplifting.

Expect President Donald Trump to ...Read more

In CNN's buildup to the Trump inauguration on Monday, anchor Jake Tapper uncorked a lecture about how five Big Tech executives in attendance "control so much of the information that we receive."

Was that a warning? Or an expression of jealousy? The leftist media hate that the American people have gone around them for information, and they can't...Read more

The civilizational inflection point in our cold civil war happened sometime between Donald Trump's second inaugural address on Monday and the end of his new presidency's second day on Tuesday. At some indeterminate moment between Monday's soaring midday speech, in which the first nonconsecutive two-term president in over 130 years artfully ...Read more

As expected, Joe Biden handed out 10-year blanket pardons to his corrupt family, which had profited in the millions from influence-peddling schemes.

The venality is breathtaking.

The corruption is one thing. But pardons he gave government officials like Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, Bennie Thompson, Liz Cheney and others has create an ...Read more

The American press corps covers Republican presidential administrations very differently from Democratic presidential administrations and covers Donald Trump's administration differently from everything. To the press, Donald Trump is a bad man -- a would-be authoritarian tyrant. Therefore, any policy is presumed to be bad, and it will be ...Read more

The portrait of Andrew Jackson has returned to the wall of the Oval Office, put up in time to greet President Donald Trump as he entered for the first time as the 47th president.

It's a choice Democrats are poorly positioned to criticize, even though the seventh president owned slaves and ordered the Southeastern Indians west on the Trail of ...Read more

The tone was set by Franklin Graham's invocation. Preachers are a fixture at presidential inaugurations, but until now they've confined their words to asking the Almighty to bless the new president and his family and to guide the nation to goodness and mercy. The prophets were popular choices. Not this time. Graham used the opportunity not to ...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- Well, this is revealing. The Republican Party has no clothes. Due to a splattering of executive orders by President Donald Trump, conservatives are totally exposed. Everyone can finally see who they really are as opposed to who they pretend to be.

The first hint came this week when Trump issued a blanket pardon for more than 1,...Read more

"Congress shall make no law ...
abridging the freedom of speech
or of the press..."

--First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

During the oral argument before the Supreme Court in the famous Pentagon Papers case, a fascinating colloquy took place between Justice William O. Douglas and the lawyer for the government. The case ...Read more

Inauguration Day for the 45th and now 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump, featured a host of events in which Trump was in attendance. The inauguration, of course. The inaugural luncheon. The parade at the Capital One Arena. The Commander in Chief Ball and the Liberty Ball. And finally, his first night at the White House. It was ...Read more

The Trump tax cuts are set to expire later this year, and that poses a real challenge for policymakers, businesses and taxpayers alike. Americans face a $4 trillion tax hike as key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act sunset. The stakes are too high to ignore, and it has to be done right.

Failure to make most of the cuts permanent ...Read more

President Donald Trump is hitting the ground running, having signed more than two dozen executive orders and memoranda since his inauguration on Monday.

The subject matter of Trump's executive orders largely mirrors the issues he ran on during his campaign, including declaring a national emergency at the nation's southern border and sending ...Read more

Post-inauguration President Donald Trump repeated his Jan. 7 declaration that the U.S. should buy Greenland and regain control of the Panama Canal.

My Jan. 8 column addressed Greenland's strategic value in the defense of North America and the Arctic -- which is precisely why Trump wants to make certain China and Russia don't control it.

I ...Read more

Good riddance to the World Health Organization -- more aptly called the Woke Health Oligarchy.

On his first day, President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from WHO, a necessary step in putting the health of Americans first. Immediately the left-wing media sounded the alarm, quoting globalist-minded scientists at American universities and think...Read more

I have written often that there is a common denominator in our deeply divided nation.

That is the general sense that something is wrong.

The points of departure among our large and diverse population are the perceptions about what the problems are and what must be done.

In this spirit I ask, as many have over recent days, what message we ...Read more
