Every day, Democrats trip over themselves to get in front of cameras and scream about how the Trump administration is so cruelly "separating families." That line is a steaming pile of bull, of course. Families get separated all the time when someone commits a crime. Democrats, who are soft on crime, don't complain about that. They certainly wouldn't bat an eye if my children were left parentless because I went to prison.

We know the full story behind Maria Bartiromo's removal from the airwaves of Fox Business. Some of the initial reporting has been clarified, and other details have been made more specific. Dylan Byers at Puck had the story: On July 16, President Trump gave a primetime speech about election integrity in which he attempted to revive long-disproven doubts about the legitimacy of the 2020 election.

After investigating more than 250 school districts in Republican states, I arrived at an unavoidable conclusion: no family should send their child to a traditional public school. Unfortunately, that is not a feasible option for many families, which is why parents must be proactive, informed, and relentlessly observant about what is happening in their child’s school.

Age-verification laws often create a false sense of security that tech-savvy teens often bypass. If we want to keep kids safe online, lawmakers must pivot to tools that empower parents without age-gating the internet for everyone. A proposed set of federal and state laws, known as the App Store Accountability Act, would mandate age verification for all app store users who download apps or make in-app purchases.

A low-cost first-person-view drone catches up with a tank or armored vehicle and destroys it. Another piece of expensive military equipment is lost, seemingly proving that unmanned systems now dominate the battlefield. After countless reports from the Russia-Ukraine war, this conclusion may appear convincing. But it can also be misleading. Ukraine has truly revolutionized the use of unmanned systems.

Focus on the mid-term elections, now less than two months away, is heating up. As always, the Left erroneously claims that the Right seeks to suppress the number of people who can and may vote, rather than expand the number. The Right correctly reports that the Left – that ‘big tent’ party – seeks to contort the voting process by allowing everyone, legal, illegal, registered, or not registered, to vote.

During the Hebrew month of Elul, immediately preceding and leading up to the High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, it is the season when Jews turn inward, toward God and toward one another. Seeking forgiveness sits at the center of that.

President Donald Trump promised lower healthcare costs, and he's bringing lower healthcare costs. This week, Trump announced more voluntary deals with drug manufacturers under which they agreed to cut their U.S. prices to the rates they charge in other countries. This was a textbook example of free-market healthcare policy in action. Mandates weren’t needed: these CEOs had every reason to ensure they do not lose out on the business the federal government provides.

Vito Corleone built an empire on one rule: take my money and play by my terms. On September 1, the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel decided the federal government could use the same playbook with the roughly $16.4 billion a year it sends states through welfare programs. The message to every state agency cashing a Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or Supplemental Security Income check is simple.

Nearly a year ago, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office proposed reforms to curb repeat challenges to patents at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, or PTAB — the panel within the USPTO responsible for determining whether issued patents should stand. The public comment period has ended, yet the rule remains unfinished, leaving inventors unsure whether the patents they have earned will be secure enough to attract investment, license technology and build businesses.
