Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. Here’s a recent story from the Chicago Tribune that jumped off the page when I read it. Northwestern University is finishing up the construction of a new $800 million football stadium. This is supposedly a nonprofit “educational” entity. Uh-huh. Northwestern — an “institution of higher learning” located outside of Chicago — is flush with cash. It has an endowment of nearly $15 billion, and the tax-free donations keep flowing in. Almost all the $800 million — which rivals the cost of professional sports arenas with luxury skyboxes and opulent…

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA) said that the United States should “support the Iranian people in their struggle for freedom and independence.” And the Iranian people are “protesting, largely peacefully, on the streets, and they’re being attacked and murdered. And I think there’s an irony, obviously, in what we see with ICE on America’s streets.” Vindman said, “Well, first of all, I think we all recognize that the Iranian regime is an authoritarian regime that is suppressing its people. And I recognize that in my own family experience, we fled from a Communist authoritarian…

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her acknowledged that the lawsuit against the federal government that the city has joined in with over ICE lacks a legal precedent because there isn’t a precedent for courts to prevent federal law enforcement from enforcing federal law because “Never in any other administration has any president had this type of overreach into local jurisdictions. And so, we will be that precedent-setting case.” Her said that the lawsuit isn’t to keep agents from performing their legal duties. Co-host Kate Bolduan then asked, “The question, though, Mayor, is what legal…

While discussing the shooting of left-wing activist Renee Good as she almost ran over an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week, MS NOW host Katy Tur worried on her Friday show that DHS recruiting Americans who “like guns” and pro wrestling contributes to violent actions by ICE. Just after 3:00 p.m. Eastern, the segment began with a clip of an anti-ICE protester in Minneapolis invoking his father fighting in World War II and complaining about the “brutality” of border patrol agents that he claimed to see: “This is just so un-American to see Americans assaulting Americans like this.

Brandon Bell/Getty ImagesPresident Donald Trump’s proposed ban on large corporate landlords buying more single-family homes could help families looking to buy them.

EXCLUSIVE: For six weeks, Google News quietly worked to throttle coverage of widespread fraud allegations in Gov. Tim Walz’s Minnesota, an exclusive Media Research Center analysis found. Google News, a digital gatekeeper that shapes what millions of Americans see each day, kept its readers in the dark as the Minnesota fraud scandal intensified, publishing just four stories on the matter out of 840 in its top 20 morning editions from Nov. 28 to Jan. 9.  The scandal gained national attention in November amid reporting that a group of Somali Americans exploited a COVID-19 relief program and later became linked to broader child…

Democratic senators are freaking out in the Senate over President Trump’s potential indictment of Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) for alleged mortgage fraud related to his Maryland home financing, following Trump’s public call for AG Pam Bondi to bring him to justice. Earlier last year, Stephen Miller gave a fiery address in which he savaged the controversial Democrat. However, Democrats expressed anxiety about so-called DOJ weaponization. However, Republicans have been supportive, citing prior Biden-era abuses. In one of the most explosive statments on the topic, Stephen Miller declared, “Adam Schiff is not only, not only a stone cold, hopeless loser, but…

Agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are putting in the hard work necessary to reclaim America from the illegal immigrants, carrying out massive raids to detain and deport huge numbers of people who have illegally entered America in past years, and Democrats are, as could be expected, going ballistic.

Arizona Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, who barely pulled off a victory against GOP challenger Kari Lake in 2022, admitted during a recent live television interview that she is currently the subject of an investigation concerning a pay-for-play scheme.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) horrifically arguing that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has “assassinated” 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, the leftist protester who was shot after she allegedly tried to run over an ICE agent during a protest in Minneapolis, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons sounded off. AOC’s anti-ICE rage, for reference, had been sparked not just by the shooting itself or her general dislike of ICE and its mission, but by Vice President JD Vance sounding off on the leftist media for its instinctive defense of Good and what she was up to. The VP both hammered…

President Trump has made lowering prescription drug prices a clear priority, repeatedly arguing that Americans should not be forced to pay more for medicine than patients in other developed countries. Drugmakers have publicly welcomed that message. But their actions tell a more complicated story. First reported by Reuters this week, pharmaceutical companies are raising list prices on more than 350 drugs for 2026. Many of the increases were small, but others were not, including sharp hikes on certain hospital-administered and specialty medicines that patients and providers rely on every day. Among the steepest increases were those for Demerol, a painkiller…

According to a recent post from the White House, ICE deportations under President Trump are significantly lowering U.S. housing costs by reducing illegal migrant populations. According to data from the post, home list prices declined year-over-year in December in 14 of the top 20 metro areas with large illegal migrant populations, while modest increases occurred only in sanctuary cities. Building on this point, the data shows sharp rent drops in San Antonio due to overbuilt apartments built for migrants, contrasted with slight increases in Seattle.

The internet is forever! At least that’s a concept most people on the internet besides CNN seem to grasp. On Tuesday, CNN made its double standard on inflation so nakedly apparent it needs an NC-17 rating. Inflation under Biden was “falling,” but under Trump it’s “persistent….as high prices continue to weigh on many Americans.” The Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report January 13 finding that core consumer prices — which excludes volatile food and energy prices — increased less than expected at 2.6 percent year-over-year in December.

When President George W. Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, the justification was presented as unambiguous. Saddam Hussein, Americans were told, possessed weapons of mass destruction that posed an imminent threat. The claim proved false. By 2004, the United States was forced to concede that no such weapons existed, and the central pretext for war collapsed. At the time, much of the left opposed the invasion—and with hindsight, they were right to do so. Yet their opposition often rested on its own certainties that were no less unfounded. Iraq, they insisted, was a war for oil, a…

In the early hours of Jan. 3, 2026, President Trump directed a smooth, targeted operation to arrest Nicolás Maduro for numerous drug-related crimes. The usual suspects (the regressive left, the Democrat party, Thomas Massie, and Sloppy Steve Bannon) are complaining that Trump took an illegal action, an act of war that requires Congress’s approval. But here’s the truth: The United States military enforced a DOJ indictment, and the United States government has done this before. The United States has resisted evil leaders with similar boldness. In 2005, President George W. Bush talked about an “Axis of Evil” waging terror and rampaging war around…
