How the mighty have fallen. America was on track to be not only energy independent, but energy dominant. Fast forward about a year, and the Biden administration has thrown an anchor around the neck of America’s oil and gas producers, while simultaneously begging OPEC to increase output. What created this ironic predicament? America has unparalleled potential in...
The United Nations’ latest climate change report sparked predictable hyperventilating. You’ve seen the headlines crying, “Code Red for Humanity” and clamoring about “extreme” and “unprecedented” warming likely to be “irreversible” — accompanied by fear-mongering images of raging wildfires and flooded towns. Fortunately, the true state of our climate is far from disastrous. In fact, both climate...
As critical race theory (CRT) continues to plague the nation’s K-12 public schools, parents, school boards, and educators discuss its presence in the classroom. While we should examine the implementation of CRT, we must also trace how this knowledge is transferred to educators. By shedding more light on the origins of CRT, before it reaches...
Right on Crime is expanding with fulltime presence in Mississippi, and I am honored to be heading this effort. My first order of business is to make Mississippi reentry ready. Over the past few years, the Mississippi Legislature has passed practical, conservative criminal justice reforms focused toward improving public safety, but there remains more to achieve. Mississippi...
The Biden administration is at it again, frantically trying to erase Trump-era regulatory reforms without regard for their benefit to the American people. The latest red-tape gambit, a hasty and misguided attempt to delay and ultimately undo a major permitting reform, is not only bad policy, it’s a violation of the public’s trust. The Biden...
Gas prices are climbing back up since pandemic shutdowns and travel restrictions crippled the industry, and Americans are feeling the price at the pump. This week, President Joe Biden’s White House, claiming to want lower gas prices, urged OPEC to get back to pre-pandemic production. That’s right. The president of the United States, the global...
By now the misadventures of Texas’s wayward House Democrats, now days into their third quorum-busting effort, have become a nationally known farce. They went to D.C. with a case of Miller then got stuck with six cases of Corona. Texas Democrats busted quorum to prevent consideration of election integrity legislation, such as extending voter ID...
Let’s cut to the chase—President Joe Biden agrees with the Texas Public Policy Foundation. The CDC’s evictions moratorium is unlawful and unconstitutional. That didn’t stop him from extending it, however. “Amid pressure from congressional liberals including Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), who demonstrated by sleeping outside of the U.S. Capitol for four nights, the Biden administration...
Weeks ago, San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin unwittingly drew attention to the real crisis at the U.S. border — human trafficking carried out by ruthless criminal organizations. “We need to also recognize a significant percentage of people selling drugs in San Francisco, perhaps as many as half, are here from Honduras,” he said. “And...
In the eight months since inauguration, the Biden administration has been hard at work frantically unraveling President Donald Trump’s “America First” policies. Amid the flurry of executive fiats and new agency rules, President Joe Biden’s ban on solar panel materials from certain Chinese companies is the first move we’ve seen that doesn’t put America dead...
Officials called the myriad of government measures over the last 18 months, supposedly to deal with the pandemic, “temporary,” but that qualifier may no longer apply. As evidence, look no further than the recent extension of the student loan repayment moratorium. Thanks to the freeze on federal student loan payments and other costly government handouts,...
In 1983, the National Commission of Excellence in Education issued a report— “A Nation at Risk”— which claimed that U.S. schools were failing. In response, schools increased their focus on STEM classes, standardized testing, and enrollment of students in college. As a direct result, in 1994 75% of high school seniors in the U.S. enrolled...
