The decline of religion remains a fundamental reality in most Western countries, particularly in Europe, where over 50% of those under age 40 do not identify with any faith. Even in more religious America, some estimate that as many as 100,000 churches will close in the near future. Meanwhile, the ranks of “Nones,” those outside religious communities, have grown so large that their numbers rival those of Catholics and evangelical Protestants.
Few things in Washington, D.C., generate as much as excitement and intrigue as a Supreme Court confirmation showdown. For decades, since the eponymous “borking” of then-Supreme Court nominee Bob Bork in 1987, political battles surrounding the membership of the nation’s high court have been among the most contentious and raucous of Beltway affairs. Which is why it’s rather curious that very few outside the most fervid of court-watchers seem to be discussing the distinct possibility that there could be one or two Supreme Court vacancies after the current term ends this summer.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio created quite a stir at the Munich Security Conference last week. Rubio’s speech emphasized the shared heritage, history and culture of Europe and the United States – described broadly as “Western civilization” – and called upon the nations of Europe to defend and be proud of that heritage and to preserve it.
A kindergarten teacher whose class for little children included “sexually inappropriate” material, and who scared the kids with his “persona” as a wolf, has been dismissed from his position at the school at Fort Bragg.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced on social media, “‘The ‘Wolf’ was fired 2 weeks ago.”
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced Friday that it is repealing a Biden-era power plant regulation that the Chinese government had urged it to keep in place.
The agency announced in a statement the repeal of Biden-era amendments to the power plant emissions rule commonly referred to as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS). The Trump administration argues that the repeal will save an estimated $670 million and the MATS requirements for power plants that will remain in place are “robust.”
Recent press coverage of the expiration of the New START Treaty distorts the historical record of late Cold War nuclear diplomacy. “For the first time in decades,” reads one headline, “the U.S. and Russia have no limits on nuclear weapons.” That statement is misleading—at best.
As many focus on the world’s largest island, Greenland, and President Trump’s aggressive efforts to acquire it, another strategic Arctic island, nearby Svalbard, may be an even more likely future point of contention and conflict.
Not a conflict between the U.S. and Denmark, or the U.S. and NATO, but between Russia and Norway, and perhaps all of NATO.
Mitch McConnell’s handlers are blocking the SAVE Act from being brought to a vote on the Senate Floor.
This guy was the leader of the Senate Republican Conference for 17 years, from 2007 to 2025.
The last few years have been difficult for the senior Kentucky Senator.
In my testimony before the Senate last week as chair of the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and Oversight Committee, I outlined the genesis of Minnesota’s massive fraud scandal, how it expanded under relaxed COVID-era rules, and what steps the federal government can take to help stop the theft of federal tax dollars throughout the country.
When Winter Storm Fern swept across much of the United States in mid-January 2026—bringing snow, ice, and sustained sub-zero temperatures from Texas to New England—millions of Americans braced for power outages. In some areas, those fears were realized. Tennessee alone reported more than 245,000 customer outages at peak conditions. At the same time, natural gas prices spiked dramatically, exceeding $30 per MMBtu at certain constrained delivery points within the PJM Interconnection.
Children should not receive a free education at America’s public schools unless they are lawfully present in the United States, a new report from The Heritage Foundation contends.
States and local governments have been “overwhelmed with costs that flow from illegal immigration, including public education,” Lora Ries, director of Heritage’s Border Security and Immigration Center and author of the report, tells The Daily Signal.
A Texas philanthropist is abusing the nonprofit legal system to quietly fund Democratic priorities such as ranked-choice voting, a conservative watchdog group claims.
John Arnold’s Action Now Initiative pretends to be a social welfare organization to enjoy tax-exempt status while spending heavily on campaigns, American Accountability Foundation (AAF) alleged in an IRS complaint obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. In one instance, Action Now Initiative’s IRS filings seemingly failed to report hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on a 2020 ranked-choice voting campaign in Alaska, AAF told the agency Feb. 4, citing public records.
