                            September 2, 2026Stop the Democrats' Scheme to Pack the Supreme Court By Stephen Moore
   Democrats are in a quandary over the Supreme Court. Every four years, they've warned their voters that electing a Republican president will lead to more conservative Supreme Court justices. And yet since Ronald Reagan's election in 1980 through today, they've lost more presidential elections than they've won. Maybe the voters are telling Democrats something. Maybe Americans don't want the court packed with Sonia Sotomayors who make up or rewrite the laws as they see fit.

                            August 25, 2026Is the USA Going Bankrupt? By Stephen Moore
   Thank God, no, we aren't going bust as a nation, despite our gargantuan $40 trillion national debt.

                            August 18, 2026Net Zero Is Dead and Gone By Stephen Moore
        It was only a few years ago when the climate change alarms and green energy fad were all the rage at the White House and corporate board rooms. Former President Joe Biden's policies were all tilted to ending fossil fuels, and many of America's biggest corporations embraced the concept of net-zero fossil fuels. This was the movement during the Biden years to eliminate virtually ALL oil, natural gas and coal production, and replace these energy sources with windmills, solar panels and electric vehicles.

                            August 11, 2026What Bank ATMs Teach Us About AI By Stephen Moore
   New inventions and technologies, from the lightbulb to the farm tractor to the automobile to the laptop computer to Uber drivers, cause serious job market disruptions. They also cause a backlash, as horse and buggy operators, cab drivers, video rental stores and typewriter makers inevitably predicted chaos and job losses.

                            August 4, 2026Five Lessons Learned From the Fauci Fiasco By Stephen Moore
        COVID-19 was a traumatic experience for our families, small businesses, schools and country. Understandably, people don't like thinking or talking about it. But we must. We now know, thanks to Sen. Rand Paul's doggedness and Anthony Fauci's supreme arrogance that he freely expresses in his diary, almost every decision made by the medical industrial complex was exactly the wrong thing to do.

                            July 28, 2026Anthony Fauci: Dr. Wrong By Stephen Moore
   Poor Anthony Fauci -- the man who became an overnight celebrity when deadly COVID-19 hit these shores. As time has gone on, and the catastrophic consequences of Fauci's advice have become more apparent, Fauci's hero status has faded. And now with the publication of his "diaries" during the COVID-19 year of 2020, it looks as though this megalomaniac should be sitting in the corner with a dunce cap on.

   Last week I took a daylong field trip touring a giant data center near Dulles International Airport in Loudon County, Virginia. The facility is owned and operated by CloudHQ.

   The New York Stock Exchange opened its doors over 230 years ago. It has been one of the iconic symbols of America's economic might for more than two centuries.

        JD Vance has served admirably as Donald Trump's vice president and has been a true asset to the administration. Right now, he's favored to be the next Republican nominee for president when 2028 rolls around. But there are many other viable contenders.

                            June 30, 2026What England Can Teach Us About 'Democratic Socialism' By Stephen Moore
        If you want to see modern-day socialism in action, look no further than to the other side of the pond at not-so-jolly old England. The story of Britain's decline is a warning signal to those here in the States who are thrilled by the warm embrace of socialism.

   Why are Democrats and their teachers union masters trying to shoot down parental choice in education even when we now have so many examples of these programs working?

                            June 16, 2026The Great Escape -- Let Young Workers Out of Social Security By Stephen Moore
   What cruel irony that we learned last week that Social Security is going broke even sooner than we thought. The Social Security trust fund will be exhausted in 2032, according to the latest Trustees Report. How odd that it is even referred to as a "trust fund," because there is no trust, and there is no fund.

                            June 9, 2026Trump's Critics Dead Wrong (Again) on the Economy By Stephen Moore
        Last week's blockbuster jobs report, with more than 265,000 jobs added when including upward employment revisions, was very welcome news to almost all Americans. The exception would be the economists of the left who throughout Donald Trump's now-five-and-a-half years in the White House keep getting the economy dead wrong.

                            June 2, 2026Keep Politicians Out of College Sports By Stephen Moore
        Nearly everyone who is a college sports fan, myself included, knows the state of affairs in the NCAA is one fine mess. Especially regarding football and men's basketball, the two major money-making sports, things have changed massively in the last few years -- and mostly not in a good way.

Billionaires are getting a bad name. "Eat the rich" is the new mantra of the Left's greed and envy lobby.

                            May 19, 2026Free the Mail By Stephen Moore
   Those of us of a certain age -- born before about 1970 -- have fond memories of the mailman (yes, that's what we called him, not "postal carrier") dropping off a pile of letters and cards into the mailbox down the driveway six days a week.

The new consumer prices report showing a 3.8% price rise in April confirms what Americans have been complaining about for months: Inflation is continuing to squeeze family budgets.

                            April 29, 2026Hospitals and Insurers Are Getting Rich Off Medical Fraud By Stephen Moore
   Polls show Americans are angry -- and rightly so -- at accelerating medical bills. Meanwhile, the insurers and hospitals keep raking in record profits.

                            April 21, 2026Lawyers Sue for Higher Prices By Stephen Moore
        You aren't going to believe the latest lawsuit fad in America: suing companies as monopolistic for cutting prices to consumers. In legal mumbo jumbo, this is called "predatory pricing" -- keeping prices lower than charged by competitors. The idea is to keep prices so low that rival firms can't compete. Quick, throw Walmart, Home Depot and McDonald's in jail.
