Rand Paul has a plan to lower health care costs.
So, if somebody says, “Well, I wonder what Pfizer thinks about this,” I don’t think Pfizer is an objective person to weigh in on whether we should get a vaccine or whether or not you should have the hepatitis vaccine or COVID vaccine for children.

The new war on death should make us uneasy
If anything, the real task is to rediscover an ancient perspective — one that sees life and death as part of the same mystery, not a technological problem to be solved. A society that remembers that may live longer, and more importantly, live wiser — and in that wisdom, we might find the peace that no laboratory can manufacture.

The Affordable Care Act on life support?
The upshot is alarming. The average health insurance premium would increase 26% in 2026. The average monthly premium for subsidized ACA enrollees would rise from $888 to $1,904. Even if the subsidies are extended, many individuals will still experience sticker shock with premium hikes of 50% or more. Emergency room visits can be expected to spiral.

Walz, Omar and the billion‑dollar Minnesota fraud
A question has also been raised of whether Omar knew that this fraud was occurring, or at least should have been tipped off to the fact that something was amiss. One of her own former campaign officials, for example, was convicted of stealing millions of dollars and has on multiple occasions been seen with another member of the fraud scheme who similarly stole millions of dollars.

The National Guard shooting isn't about mental health
But the fact is, Lakanwal killed a member of the U.S. military and critically injured another, and he was brought in under potentially suspect circumstances. It is not unreasonable for the president to now question whether the broad stroke of a pen that allowed over 77,000 Afghans to enter the United States might have let in a few rotten apples.

The 2026 Political Landscape
By the time New York's special and off-year elections rolled around, the picture sharpened. In races across Long Island and the Hudson Valley, areas where Republicans had made significant gains, Democrats clawed back lost ground.

The world watches as World Cup tournament is set
The event was exhilarating. The gathering included numerous businesspersons, athletes, heads of state and White House officials. If you can name them, they likely were in attendance. Youth and elderly people were in attendance. And athletic icons passed by as if it were normal.

UAE National Day in Washington highlights $1 trillion future in US
And the timing could not be better. The UAE and the U.S. have begun to scale their economic partnership to historic levels. The two nations launched the UAE-U.S. Partnership for Accelerating Clean Energy (PACE) back in 2022, where $100 billion will be invested into deploying 100 gigawatts of clean energy by 2035.

The tragic National Guard shootings and the folly of Afghanistan
Mr. Lakanwal would never have been in the United States if the United States had not invaded his country to fight the same Taliban that we had nurtured — a variation of infanticide.

Socialism is the equal sharing of misery
Socialism does not alleviate poverty. It brings everyone down to the same level. Joy is questionable, excellence is expendable and the finer aspects of life are deemed sinful. In a socialist society, equity necessitates that we all suffer equally so that nobody suffers more.

Trump’s fight with Greene is warning
Trump and Greene may smooth things over. In politics, friendships often outlive feuds. But this moment is a reminder that the health of the Republican Party will depend on how much space it allows for differences among people who still share the same end goals.

The cynical cherry-picking of the Epstein files
When one steps back from a Democrat’s narrow presentation of the documents, the actual evidence in the Epstein files does not at all implicate Donald Trump in any crimes or misconduct. First and foremost, in the voluminous records and prior legal cases, Trump is nowhere accused of participating in obscene sexual crimes.

Republicans must take care with Americans' health care
If the United States, without blinking an eye, can squander over $3 trillion on fool’s errands in Afghanistan and Iraq, if the United States can shower billionaire Elon Musk with billions in tax subsidies, if the United States can invest tens of billions in overpaid defense contractors; if the United States can bail out super rich Silicon Valley bank depositors, then the United States can more than amply afford to pay for the urgent health care needs of rural Americans. We ar

When political rhetoric becomes a weapon
What’s needed now is not more moral theater, but moral restraint. The true statesman knows that words can either cool or ignite the passions of the age. The responsible politician, whatever their party, should speak as if the nation’s peace depends on it because it does.
