President Trump is sending Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner to Egypt as peace envoys to continue negotiations over a deal to free all hostages held by Hamas. Though the Hamas terrorist organization has signaled its readiness to release all hostages, the group has also rejected the much-ballyhooed Trump plan that includes disarmament.

Faced with pharmaceutical tariffs and other governmental pressure points, drug giant Pfizer has agreed to bring its U.S. drug prices in line with those charged in other developed nations. Pfizer’s motivation was to avoid tariffs and other pricing shocks, according to Albert Bourla, Pfizer’s chief executive. As part of the deal, Pfizer will get a three-year break from pharmaceutical tariffs. […]
When I first read that President Trump was extending his tariff terror to pharmaceuticals, my initial response was fear of the worst — drug prices soaring beyond what anyone could afford. Prices are already fairly prohibitive if you’re not on some government handout program. As it turns out, Trump indeed imposed a 100-percent tariff on drug imports — unless the […]
Tyler Robinson, 22, is in custody for the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk after a friend and his own family cooperated with police in his arrest. In a remarkable press conference led by Utah Governor Spencer Cox and FBI Director Kash Patel, several details were revealed about the suspect in custody and the evidence being collected for […]
The assassination of Charlie Kirk, of whom I had only scant philosophical acquaintance prior to his demise, got me thinking — once again — about what a mess our nation finds itself in. Some would say we’re even perilously close to another civil war. I’ve previously written of Dwight D. Eisenhower and his Farewell Address, where he warned of the […]
I remember the morning of September 11, 2001, when I turned on my TV to catch the news before heading off to what turned out to be an evolving far-left job. On my home screen, I watched as the Twin Towers came tumbling down and people ran for their lives as smoke from the buildings engulfed them. Others weren’t so […]
The far left won’t stop at rhetoric. Bullets are their language now: First, two attempts on Donald Trump, one that he miraculously survived by moving his head, the other thwarted by alert Secret Service. Now, conservative spokesman Charlie Kirk has taken a bullet to become a sacrificial lamb to the cause of the far left, which is now pretty much […]
On this day, September 9, in 1965, Sandy Koufax — “The Last Arm of God,” now 89 and still attending games — pitched the fourth perfect game in Major League Baseball history, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 1-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium. The game was a pitcher’s duel, with the opposing Cubs pitcher, Bob […]
I am not a rabid critic of the Trump administration’s Jeffrey Epstein flip-flop, which even went so far as President Trump calling the whole Epstein matter a “hoax,” at least when it comes to him and his relationship with the billionaire pedophile. Trump even sued the Wall Street Journal and patriarch Rupert Murdoch when the newspaper ran an article claiming […]
I saw President Trump on TV over the weekend when he was questioned about the still-high prices of groceries. He immediately went back to an old straw — rather, to old dinosaur remains — and predicted that lower gasoline prices will also lower food prices due to reduced transportation costs. He’s now predicting $2 a gallon at the pump, with […]
