Seven in 10 patients now live five years or more after a cancer diagnosis. Reductions in smoking and improvements in disease management and earlier diagnosis have resulted in a 34% drop in the cancer death rate. Defunding innovation today means fewer cures tomorrow.

The fighting is in Ukraine, but a move toward peace will come only when the Russian government sees the war as being more costly politically than continuing the fighting.

AI will define the next era of global power. If people who are embarrassed by power are allowed to write the rules, America won’t lose because it moved too fast. We’ll lose because we were convinced to stand still.

We remember the disastrous hearings before Congress in 2023 when the presidents of some of the country's most prestigious universities couldn't bring themselves to condemn the violent antisemitic behavior that was taking place on their campuses.

The self-righteous drivel we hear from leftist celebrities like Billie Eilish that we stand on "stolen land," or that enforcing the law is "racist," shoplifting is a "victimless crime," or healthcare should be "free" are becoming tiresome.

Clicks and fads may sometimes rule the day, but the truth is eternal. Kudos to the American people for beginning to realign political, legal and social mores with the truth.

Here's the wording of the First Amendment. Note the prominence of religion, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . . " The first freedom is religion. That freedom was clearly violated in Minnesota.

Multiple pathways exist for action, by NATO, by the United States and Israel, or by Israel alone. What is beyond doubt, however, is this: for the sake of the Iranian people, regional stability, and global security, the Iranian regime must come to an end.

Minnesota isn't an outlier; it's a case study of what happens when institutions that once fostered moral restraint abandon that role. The fruits of the long march, lawlessness and chaos, are now undeniable.

Peppering people with questions is what journalists do. It's never been more important than it is right now.

Over the years, I've watched people abandon television shows, sporting events, and even beers over their frustration that politics had suddenly intruded.

Tariffs never work. America wins when it leads coalitions, not when it stands alone. If we are serious about countering China, we should start by making sure our closest neighbor is standing with us, not being pushed away.

Middle-class voters don't vote on rhetoric. They vote on reality. Global leadership matters, but affordability, stability, and economic relief are what decide elections. This is not an argument against international strength. It's an argument for domestic follow-through.

President Donald Trump is doing the right thing in securing this nation's borders and enforcing our immigration laws. This country must never go back to former President Joe Biden's open borders.

In California, a proposed new wealth tax has already inspired a handful of Silicon Valley billionaires to exit the state. When will Democrats learn you can't tax millionaires and billionaires if they live in Palm Beach or Dallas?

If Congress is serious about restoring trust and preserving the Federal Reserve's independence, it must make clear that emergency powers are temporary, exceptional, and reversible.

Bill Parcells has been called one of the greatest coaches in the history of the NFL and was fond of telling people, "If you get your feelings hurt that's too bad."

it should be clear that Armenia and its friends have much to gain from a transformed Iran. We must ask who would benefit from a diminished U.S. presence in the Caucasus. Certainly, neither Armenia nor the Iranian people gain from that outcome.

Hamas is still in place. Hamas is armed and organized and growing. Hamas has no incentive to change if Phase II is implemented as planned. Once you begin Phase II there is no pressure or need for Hamas to live up to its end of Phase I.

The advantage the party opposing the White House historically enjoys in midterms applies all the more in special elections: the opposition is always more motivated, and it takes especially intense motivation to get voters to the polls in January after a winter storm.

The story of the Indiana Hoosiers football team under the leadership of Curt Cignetti is a story that exemplifies what can be achieved in America if we work hard, work together, and believe the impossible is possible.

We're not totally in a dictatorship. We are not yet jailed for our views. The Biden regime began that process, and it’s already underway in places like the UK and Australia; but for now, thankfully, the second Trump administration has halted it.

Too much of Minneapolis’s anti-ICE activism looks nothing like the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s March on Selma, with civil-rights activists wielding nothing tougher than locked arms and the sounds of spirituals. Minneapolis mirrors the darkest days in Belfast.

Society is rushing into a new era in which rules must be followed even when they cause harm; procedures override common sense; responsibilities become untraceable because everyone is consigned to follow the same process; and intelligence no longer equates with understanding or wisdom.

Despite a barrage of hostile media coverage and relentless attacks from the left, President Donald Trump's standing with voters remains remarkably steady-especially on the issue of border security.

People who are feeling anxious or unsettled often feel better when they talk it out. Friends, family, and partners are great sources of comfort and assurance, and can function as objective sounding boards for thoughts and ideas.

My barber says it's so bad that he feels suicidal. He can't afford his rent. He's supposed to buy tires for his daughters. Six months ago, a set of four was $550. Now, the same set, with the same warranty, is exactly $1,000. Tears came to his eyes.

Netflix's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. suggests Big Media is seeking to replicate the Big Tech playbook and may be on the cusp of gaining an anticompetitive advantage that will be equally difficult to undo — and potentially with even greater consequences.

Employers and other organizations relied on the "science" and their governments to give them honest information and make reliable public health assessments which caused many to require vaccinations against COVID-19.

When hospital systems spend lavishly at the top while pressing insurers and patients to pay more and more every year, it's hard to not reach the conclusion that keeping prices low for patients is not the priority.

Looking around, you will see more failures of the UN system than legitimate contributions, especially recently.

At stake is not Greenland itself. At stake is whether America still understands how to defend its own hemisphere.

The E-7 Wedgetail is an investment in deterrence, alliance cohesion, and the European supply chain. By choosing an interoperable, proven platform, Europe can join an allied force that can see clearly, act decisively, and operate across borders.

Tariffs didn't restore competitiveness or pricing power. They jacked up costs and made American production less attractive at the margin.

The MAHA movement had one massive advantage: Americans wanted it to succeed. People were ready for transparency, for honesty, for a clean break from decades of political rot. But movements don’t survive on promises

As Hamas-aligned organizations are granted a pass for openly rallying in support of the murder of Jews, James's moves fit neatly into Mamdani's campaign of transforming the city into a center that's rendered increasingly uncomfortable for American Jewry.

Coal is not just something you burn. It's one of the most abundant on Earth, rich in fuels, chemicals, and industrial inputs essential to modern life. Advanced processing techniques allow coal to be converted into cleaner fuels. Coal didn't fail. Washington failed it.

We Americans can play our part by making sure that Republicans hold the U.S. House and U.S. Senate during the midterm election cycle. By doing this, we can ensure that Congress will focus on fixing problems instead of investigations and impeachment.

I'm writing about a failed political relationship; the willingness of tens of millions of our citizens and illegal immigrants to cheat on and hurt our country.

In truth, allowing disorder is the cruelty. It punishes the elderly afraid to walk outside, the working poor whose stores close, and the children raised in chaos and then blamed for failing to thrive in it. Order is not oppression. Order is mercy.

Proponents of city and state sanctuary policies claim to be guardians of civil liberties. However, a closer examination reveals that sanctuary status is actually a legal fiction.

Young Iranians are beaten, imprisoned, and killed for demanding freedom. They are not confronting a foreign enemy. They are confronting their own government. Yet while their courage appears in parts of the western media, it has not generated widespread outrage.

President Trump will not be on the ballot in 2026, so voting for Trump will not be a motivating factor for voters. Trump's absence could adversely affect Republican turnout. Republicans will have to be inspired to vote by their House and/or Senate candidate running.

Such is the world we now inhabit–one where human rights are negotiable, victims are ranked, and institutions with a duty to uphold universal norms have abandoned their responsibilities in favor of ideology.

President Trump has led the newest phase of his campaign to champion nation-state sovereignty over the City of London (aka remnants of the British Empire), one-world-government dreams by pounding a battering ram through the gates of their Davos stronghold.

Islamists threaten the U.S. and the constitutional protected American way of life we treasure. Their brand of Islamism is parasitic political ideology subverting the host religion. They misuse the cloak of religion as a guise in which to pursue a malignant agenda.

Given history and the increase of taxpayer money confiscation for illegal invaders adding to an already misguided welfare system that is fraught with fraud, the answer to our original question, Are we morally bound to aid others?, is "No."

Australian company ETM spent years navigating the bureaucratic hurdles forming Greenland's regulatory system to secure a license to explore and extract minerals. When governments rewrite rules to suit political pressures, contracts lose credibility, investment becomes contingent on political favor.

I assume Johnson's presentation left many members of parliament and the British media flabbergasted. As much as they disagreed with Johnson's message, there was no easy way to dispute his reasoned, calm remarks.

Gov. Kathy Hochul, D-N.Y., is dooming her state to be the loser. In 2026, eight states are cutting their income taxes, and four others are reducing corporate tax rates.

If birthright citizenship is overturned by our supposedly conservative Supreme Court, after 158 years of literal application of the words in the Fourteenth Amendment, it will be one of the biggest insults to the rule of law in American history.

Readers will recall that Gov. Hochul was in no rush to endorse Mamdani after his surprise June primary victory. But fearing a political backlash which could empower her far left primary opponent in 2026, she reluctantly endorsed Mamdani in September.

What happened in St. Paul will continue unless these cultural Marxists are stopped. At stake is the very foundation of American society.

It's not every day that I find myself sitting down with the secretary of the treasury at his historic office in Washington. This past Thursday, I visited with Secretary Scott Bessent, one of the most closely watched, talked-about, and popular members of Donald Trump's Cabinet.

With President Lee’s commentary during a recent meeting with President Xi Jinping that he hopes to fully restore Korea's ties with China by next year, this should be sending out alarm bells in Washington.

Europe is free to regulate its own market. It's not free to export its regulatory preferences in ways that nullify American constitutional protections or undermine the legal systems the U.S. relies on to protect its interests abroad.

A real state disarms militants and protects civilians. The failed Palestinian experiment does the opposite because it no longer seeks a state. It seeks submission from Infidels like you and me.

President Trump has executed with boldness and finesse, and done so on multiple theaters. The greatest challenges are still ahead. May we hope and pray for God’s protection and the continuing defeat of evil this year.

The First Amendment does not grant universities a right to create a new generation of violent revolutionaries. The federal government must use extreme measures to combat extremism. Rogue university presidents must be deposed.

he Iranian people are determined to take back their liberty from decades of repression—and that this time, it looks increasingly likely that they will succeed.
