Markets Don't Lie

From the Right / Star Parker /

As I watch the turmoil unfolding resulting from the president's new trade and tariff policy, I wonder how, as a commentator, I can avoid writing about this.

But what do I say? What side do I take? Yes, per President Donald Trump, the tariffs are the hard medicine we need to swallow to counter many years of unfair policies of our trading ...Read more

In New York, the Inmates Are in Charge

From the Right / Betsy McCaughey /

Convicted cop killers should never walk free. But New York's soft-on-crime parole board is poised to release its 44th cop killer since 2017.

For this injustice, you can blame mayoral wannabee Andrew Cuomo and his criminal-coddling successor, Gov. Kathy Hochul.

Also to blame is a network of George Soros-funded pro-crime advocacy groups -- ...Read more

Politicians Are Pompous Hypocrites When They Call Gambling Evil!

From the Right / John Stossel /

Did you bet on March Madness? I did, and many of you did, too. Americans bet billions on NCAA tournaments. We also "spent $60 billion at casinos last year (and) about $12 billion on online sports betting," notes economist Jason Sorens in my new video. Sorens published a state-by-state ranking of gambling freedom across America. Nevada lets ...Read more

Our Worst Trading Partner

When Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) was in the midst of his record 25-plus hours of speaking on the Senate floor on April 1, he yielded to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, who wanted to ask him a couple of questions.

One was on the tariffs that President Donald Trump was set to announce the next day.

"And all of America is paying...Read more

Cory Booker's Blab-a-Thon Underlines 'Fact-Checker' Tilt!

From the Right / Tim Graham /

On April 7, Facebook pulled the plug on the censorship of "independent fact-checkers," replacing it with a "Community Notes" approach, like Elon Musk's X uses. No one was more upset than the censorious left-wing "fact" police.

Angie Holan, the leader of the Poynter Institute's International Fact-Checking Network, marked "International Fact-...Read more

Big, Beautiful Tax Cuts Should Offset Any Tariff Increases

From the Right / Stephen Moore /

President Donald Trump has predicted that his tariffs could raise as much as $6 trillion over the next decade in federal tax collections. These include up to 104% tariffs on China, plus the combination of reciprocal tariffs -- we charge them whatever they charge us. Also, don't forget the protectionist tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos, lumber...Read more

15 Truths About Tariffs, Some More Uncomfortable Than Others

SAN DIEGO -- As you have likely figured out, President Donald Trump loves tariffs. It's just too bad the businessman doesn't understand them -- and the destruction they cause.

This week, a new round of tariffs is set to take effect. There is an across-the-board 10% tariff on U.S. imports from any country. And there are even higher tariffs on ...Read more

Trump’s economic chaos is the anti-globalist revolution that young, working-class voters ordered

From the Right / Rachel Marsden /

PARIS — Figuring out the future impact of U.S. President Donald Trump’s new global tariffs has turned into the economic equivalent of trying to decode modern art: confusing, polarizing and mostly just a bunch of projections. Economists are squinting at charts like they’re Jackson Pollock paintings while totally missing the point. Maybe ...Read more

Trump Walks the Tariff Tightrope

From the Right / Victor Joecks /

Anyone who's studied Adam Smith should understand the downside of President Donald Trump's new tariff plan.

In "The Wealth of Nations," Smith spelled out the benefits of the division of labor. He wrote that someone working alone might be able to "make one pin in a day, and certainly could not make twenty." But production greatly increased ...Read more

Reversal of Fortune in Homer City: New Manufacturing Project a 'Game Changer'

From the Right / Salena Zito /

HOMER CITY, Pennsylvania -- Eleven days after the massive smokestacks and cooling towers of Pennsylvania's largest coal-fired power plant came down in a dramatic fashion in this Indiana County village, causing both emotional and economic distress and a sense of hopelessness, Homer City Redevelopment announced that an even bigger natural gas ...Read more

Today’s Boogeyman is Elon Musk

From the Right / Cal Thomas /

As a child I frequently visited relatives in southern Indiana. A great uncle tried to keep me from exploring his cellar (as they were called then) by telling me the boogeyman was down there and would “get you” if I descended the stairs. It worked.

Boogeymen are nothing new. They have existed in the form of politicians going back to...Read more

Yes, Bring Back The Woolly Mammoth

From the Right / Rich Lowry /

We have the dire wolf again.

Thanks to the heroic work of Colossal Biosciences, the canine species that went extinct more than 10,000 years ago has been revived in a stunning act of so-called de-extinction.

The dire wolf is a bit of a Late Pleistocene celebrity thanks to its role in the "Game of Throne" series as a symbol of the Stark family...Read more

To Team Trump, Tariffs Are a National Security Issue

From the Right / Debra Saunders /

WASHINGTON -- "Don't be a PANICAN," President Donald Trump cautioned on social media. Critics have questioned the universal tariffs he unleashed last week, and Americans have had to steel themselves before checking the balance of their 401(k)s.

The Trump tariffs came fast and larger than expected. The markets responded.

Now Republicans and ...Read more

The Rosa Parks of Our Times -- Young Female Fencer Courageously Refuses to Fence a Man. Here's What President Trump Should Do Next!

From the Right / Wayne Allyn Root /

Remember Rosa Parks? She took a stand to bring attention to racism and discrimination against black Americans by sitting at the front of a bus -- at a disgraceful time in America's history when blacks had to sit at the back of the bus. Bravo.

Rosa Parks is an American hero.

Remember the #MeToo movement? Feminists said women have a right to say...Read more

After the 2024 Presidential Campaign, the Books

From the Right / Debra Saunders /

WASHINGTON -- Former President Joe Biden is a bitter man whose ambition outstripped his abilities while Vice President Kamala Harris was unusually loyal. Those are two of my takeaways from the 2024 campaign autopsy book "Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House," by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes.

By comparison, the drama that ...Read more

The Dismal Science and the Trumpian Tariff Hullabaloo

From the Right / Josh Hammer /

Whenever the subject of trade comes up, many right-leaning free traders and left-leaning neoliberals alike trot out the same talking point: "The economists all agree tariffs are terrible!" And perhaps they do -- or at least most of them do. Barriers to free and unfettered trade may well appear "inefficient" as a matter of an economic model's "...Read more

Does Trump Have a Plan B If His Tariffs Plunge Us Into Recession?

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent cautioned last month that Americans will likely experience "a detox period" after President Donald Trump implements his wide-ranging tariffs.

What are we detoxing from, exactly?

From an abundance of affordable goods and the world's highest living standards? From consistent economic growth? From leading the ...Read more

A Better Way

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

One need not rely on experts to know tariffs are typically not a good policy. Going back to Adam Smith writing "The Wealth of Nations," we know it is better to manufacture cheap commodities in areas that can make them cheaply so that wealthier nations can spend their wealth more productively. Adding tariffs historically disrupts that balance ...Read more

Caterwauling Over a Kennedy Center Coup

From the Right / Tim Graham /

Our media elites love to tout themselves as "independent" and "fact-based." But on almost any story on Donald Trump, they can't help but put those words in the shredder.

The Kennedy Center illustrates one major difference between the two Trump terms. In the first term, the president deferred to the leftists who gave all the Kennedy Center ...Read more

Trump Seems Bent on Political Self-Harm

From the Right / Michael Barone /

Is President Donald Trump bent on political self-harm? It often seems that way. His overall job approval rating still hovers within a point or two of the 50% popular vote he received last November. But he is losing support on the economy and inflation, the No. 1 issue last year, while his overwhelming success in reducing illegal immigration has ...Read more
