It’s the stuff of nightmares. The Biden administration’s open borders resulted in a scandal that should keep every American awake at night. Between 2019 and 2023, four hundred and forty-eight thousand unaccompanied minors came into the country.
ICE was required to hand them over to the Office of Refugee Resettlement within 72 hours. From there, NGO’s were to deliver them to the “sponsors” on their paperwork.
But many little ones were handed over without anyone confirming the identity of those taking them. Some addresses were storage units or strip clubs. It’s very clear: Thousands of children — some as young as five — have been sex trafficked.
The Trump administration is working to find these children. But for the left, it seems they were just “collateral damage” from opening the border to import a new group of voters.
Prison is too good for the people who victimized these children.

President Trump’s tariffs are legal, strategically necessary and crucial for preventing an economic crisis in America.
Under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) crafted by Congress in 1977, the President holds clear authority to declare a national emergency against any unusual or extraordinary foreign threat to America's security, foreign policy, or economy. This empowers decisive regulation of international commerce—including targeted tariffs—to neutralize the danger.
And the impact is undeniable: the Trump tariffs have flood the Treasury with billions in revenue, essential to taming our exploding $37 trillion debt. Social Security and Medicare barrel toward insolvency by 2034 or earlier, while interest payments alone devour over $1 trillion yearly. Without these tariffs, bankruptcy is inevitable. They’ve proven to be a lifeline reversing this fiscal catastrophe.

Ronald Reagan, one of our greatest presidents, once quipped that “The closest thing to eternal life on earth is a government program.” But when it comes to government employment, the Trump Administration is turning that truism on its head.
Thanks to DOGE, the US government will have three hundred thousand fewer people working for it. That’s the largest single-year cut in civilian federal employment since World War II.
The total reduction amounts to a 12-and-a-half percent decrease in the federal workforce. Such a rapid cut is virtually unheard of.
Twenty percent of the departing bureaucrats were fired. But the rest — eighty percent — took advantage of buyouts or other programs that pay them while they look for another job.
For once, our government has shrunk in real terms. All Americans save a little tax money — and are just a little more free — as a result.

Tom Wolfe once postulated there are times it seems we go back to the Year Zero—where we unlearn everything we have learned about life, health, civilization. For years now, major cities and so-called health professionals have been doing under the euphemism of “harm reduction” what actually should be called “enabling” when it comes to illegal drug use and addiction.
A recent New York Times article lamented that some cities are rethinking these efforts, precisely because they woke up to what they were doing, they won’t use the word, but it was enabling. For too long, too many major cities thought the best way to help drug addicts, particularly homeless, was to give them paraphernalia to make their drug use easier and theoretically safer: clean needles for heroin injection, fentanyl test strips to make sure their cocaine didn’t have fentanyl in it. Their measurement of success? How many people took these instruments of destruction, never how many went into treatment.
The serious would call this enabling, not helping. Thank goodness it’s being rethought.

I recently penned an open letter to President Trump. Here’s an abbreviated version:
Dear President Trump:
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering dedication to our nation. Your leadership has profoundly strengthened Americans in the face of relentless challenges. Your sacrifices inspire millions.
The FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was a blatant injustice, yet it didn’t deter you. You faced six baseless lawsuits, survived two assassination attempts, including the harrowing incident in July ‘24 in Pennsylvania, a bullet struck your head. And minutes later, with blood on your face, you stood tall, defiantly raised your fist, and rallying the nation to “Fight, fight, fight!” and you have.
Your relentless push for the Big Beautiful Bill will ensure Americans keep more of their hard-earned money.
And I could go on and on….
I am deeply grateful for your sacrifices and the lasting impact you continue to have on this nation and the world.
It’s with my sincere appreciation.

The new report from the Congressional Budget Office is surprising, even stunning.
Yes: Questions always arise from “supply-siders” about the CBO scoring mechanism. Whatever the agency’s methodology, the new report on Trump’s tariffs ought to have received more attention:
Phillip Swagel—the CBO’s director wrote: “We project that increases in tariffs implemented during the period from January 6, 2025, to August 19, 2025 will decrease primary deficits … by $3.3 trillion if the higher tariffs persist for the 2025‒2035 period.”
I’m well aware that there are plenty of skeptics on tariffs. Historically speaking, that would be me, too. But: Numbers are numbers and $4 trillion in deficit reduction means $4 trillion less in national debt.
Debt hawks out there who are also free traders should be taking note and adjusting.

It’s not an easy time to be a college student.
According to a study of roughly fifteen hundred undergrads at Northwestern University and the University of Michigan, over the last two years, fully eighty-eight percent pretended to hold more left-wing views than they actually had in order to succeed socially or academically.
In other words, the atmosphere on campus is so intolerant and so punitive that there is a massive culture of self-censorship, both inside and outside the classroom.
College leaders, professors, and administrators who perpetuated this system are a disgrace. They’ve inhibited the free inquiry, stunted the moral formation, and suppressed the intellectual integrity of the young people in their charge.
American universities should be run in conformity with American values. Our country cherishes freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and freedom of conscience. Our universities should do likewise.
