                            December 31, 2024Trump and Musk Are Right: Legal Immigrants a Boon to US Economy A Commentary By Stephen Moore
The media have been playing up the "civil war" inside the GOP between what Politico calls the "MAGA Republicans and Big Tech." The restrictionists in the party want fewer visas, and the pro-growth wing wants more.

                            December 17, 2024To Bring Joy to America: End the Weaponization of the IRS By Stephen Moore
One of the highest priorities for the incoming Trump administration should be to end the Democrats' weaponization of powerful government agencies against taxpayers and businesses they don't like. Nowhere has this mission been more pernicious than the party-line vote to fund the IRS with nearly $80 billion and hire tens of thousands of new tax snoops.

Buckle your seatbelts because President-elect Donald Trump has ignited a worldwide revolt against the arrogance of global elites.

                            December 3, 2024Trump Should Call for a New American Patriotism By Stephen Moore
        Hard to believe it was just four years ago that Joe Biden was elected with a promise to unite the country. After the misery of COVID-19 deaths and lockdowns and the riots in the streets of major cities, Americans WANTED to be united by a unifying national purpose.

One thing Hollywood is very good at is scaring the bejesus out of Americans -- even when they're merely spreading false fears.

Earlier this year, in one of the most absurd court rulings in modern times, federal judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google violated U.S. antitrust law by gaining a monopoly in the search engine markets.

A few days before last week's election, Bernie Sanders issued a dire warning to voters: "If Donald Trump is elected, the struggle against climate change is over."

                            October 29, 2024Dead Wrong Again -- Nobel Economists Put Partisanship Over Economic Common Sense By Stephen Moore
You may have heard that last week 24 Nobel economists wrote that Vice President Kamala Harris' economic plan would be better for America than the Trump agenda. The joint letter was spearheaded by the hyperpolitical Joseph Stiglitz. Yes, the same Joe Stiglitz who infamously flew to Caracas to endorse Hugo Chavez's economic policies in 2007.

In the one debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the vice president attacked Trump for having a racist record, citing his statements in response to the protests In Charlottesville back in 2017.

Here is something no one in the media is reporting as Vice President Kamala Harris continues to duck and weave like Muhammad Ali in the ring to avoid any questions about her economic plan.

                            October 1, 2024Can We All Get Along? Yes, By Letting the States Decide. By Stephen Moore
At the time of this writing, the outcome of the presidential race is pretty close to being a coin flip. So what I write is not in any way influenced by who will win in November, since that is unknowable.

                            September 24, 2024Is Washington Distorting the Numbers? By Stephen Moore
We all know that math scores have been scandalously trending downward for many years, but the folks in the government should at least be able to count.

                            September 10, 2024Hey Kamala, Where Are Your Spending Cuts? By Stephen Moore
In 1982 the federal budget deficit rose above $100 billion for the first time (those were the good old days!), and then-President Ronald Reagan agreed to an infamous budget deal with then-House Speaker Tip O'Neill. Democrats would agree to $3 of spending cuts for every $1 of tax increases. Reagan foolishly agreed to the deal. The taxes went up. The spending cuts never materialized.

                            September 3, 2024Hey, Washington: Keep Your Hands Off the Internet By Stephen Moore
   Everyone these days -- on both sides of the political spectrum -- seems to want the feds to regulate internet access, prices and online content. They want the Federal Communications Commission to be the referee in terms of who gets connected to the internet and what can and can't be said.

                            August 27, 2024Goodbye, JFK Democrats By Stephen Moore
   Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s exit from the Democratic Party (or was he booted out?) is only the latest sign that there are no more JFK Democrats left in positions of power in the Democratic Party.

                            August 13, 2024Natural Gas Is Now Cheaper Than Water By Stephen Moore
   Among the great mythologies of recent years, one stands out above the rest, is that the world is in a "great energy transition." Actually, the world IS in a dramatic energy transition. But it isn't the one the Left wants it to be.
