The details of President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” (BBB) are less important than the fact that he managed to pass it through Congress — by his Fourth of July deadline, no less. That means Trump will have the political momentum to continue building on the achievements of his first six months in the job.

The president had hoped to deliver on his promise…

In an era where urban elites dismiss the calloused hands that drive America, President Donald Trump has stood tall, fist raised behind the men and women who keep us moving: American truckers. Since the president’s executive orders on the English language this spring, I’ve taken action to reinstate the penalty for failing English proficiency rules previously abandoned by President Barack Obama.

On Friday, I was proud to take our commitment to truckers…

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) responded Thursday to a story by the Associated Press (AP) that claimed its security contractors used live ammunition in Gaza, endangering the lives of Palestinian civilians. The AP story stopped short of explicitly stating that contractors had killed Palestinians — a “fake news” claim that has been promoted by Hamas and repeated by other outlets — but that was the implication in the article. The AP reported: American contractors guarding aid distribution sites in Gaza are using live ammunition and stun grenades as hungry Palestinians scramble for food, according to accounts and videos obtained by…

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s controversial plan for city-owned grocery stores is embarrassingly based on an “accounting error,” the Washington Examiner revealed in a recent report. The Democrat nominee has defended his idea for socialist markets by saying they can be funded by the money saved from cutting city subsidies to “corporate grocery stores” — but he misunderstood the amount of money the city has.  “We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets to city-owned grocery stores whose mission is lower prices, not price-gouging,” Mamdani said in one video: He claimed that five grocery stores would cost $60…
