Returning control to American citizens

The speed and seriousness with which Donald Trump is shaking up Washington has everyone’s head spinning. If the president called me and asked my advice how he should explain to the American people what he is doing, I would say he should tell every American to read our Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump is working to restore the principles and foundations that the nation’s founders clearly laid out there that define the American republic. The serious problems we are confronting today stem from our departure from those principles, that the nation’s founders signed, with ...

Security breaches and infamous Signal chat

This week, all hell broke loose in the media when Jeffrey Goldberg, left-leaning editor of The Atlantic, revealed that he had been accidentally included in a group chat with the top members of the Trump national security team. According to a Signal thread revealed by Goldberg, he was invited in by national security adviser Michael Waltz; other participants included Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller and a multitude of other cabinet officials. The thread included an open consideration about ...

Stand by, pothole season is coming

Can you feel it? With the coming of better weather, never mind that it’s punctuated by a tad bit of snow here and there, people tend to be in better moods. The warmer temperatures and sunny skies contribute mightily to that. Unfortunately, those influences will also help develop a brand new crop of potholes to vex our cars and trucks. The adverse affects of winter’s freezing and then thaws are evident on Upper Peninsula roads and this year is shaping up to be more of the same. It seems just about every roadway we travel is pocked fairly well with potholes of varying sizes and ...

Perilously close to the edge

Let’s say you don’t like what the Trump administration is doing, or you don’t like Trump. You express these views on Facebook, TikTok and Instagram. You take a two-week vacation in France. When you try to return to the United States, U.S. immigration agents arrest you. They detain you in solitary confinement. They don’t let you contact your family. They don’t let you contact a lawyer. Then they send you to a brutal prison in El Salvador. But wait! You scream over and over. You can’t do this! I’m an American citizen! Your screams have no effect. Sound far-fetched? ...

Concern about national injunctions

On Monday, the Trump administration struck back at the legal-industrial complex’s war against MAGA. President Donald Trump’s Justice Department filed an emergency request asking the Supreme Court to take a stand on the “epidemic” of national injunctions that leftist district court judges are using to halt the Trump agenda. Trump’s lawyers said on Monday that only the Supreme Court can stop this “power grab.” The success of Trump’s presidency could hinge on whether the court will come down hard on this cozy collusion between anti-Trump litigants and injunction-happy ...

End war on small business partnerships

President Donald Trump has promised to create millions of new high-paying jobs. One easy first step to doing that is to repeal Biden regulations on America’s 4 million business partnerships (sometimes known as S corporations) that are prolific job creators. The latest estimates find 10 million Americans employed by these business partnerships, with $800 billion paid in worker salaries and benefits. As an example of the importance of this business model, “90 percent of Microsoft’s commercial revenue flows directly through our partner ecosystem,” according to a post on the ...
