President Donald Trump has predicted that his tariffs could raise as much as $6 trillion over the next decade in federal tax collections.

Over the past 80 days, there has been so much winning for Republicans. Winning is good. Very good. Overconfidence, though, is bad. Very bad. And I worry that some people are getting way too confident, mistaking momentum for inevitability. “We have been winning” does not necessarily mean “We will continue to win in the future.” ...
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...
This morning’s Gospel reading is Luke 19:28–40: Jesus proceeded on his journey up to Jerusalem. As he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples. He said, “Go into the village opposite you, and as you enter it you will find a colt...
Just over a year ago a Stanford undergrad wrote a story for the Atlantic about what it was like to be on campus in the wake of Hamas’ 10/7 attack on Israel. David wrote about it here at the time but in case you missed it, here’s a sample of what Theo Baker wrote. One...
After President Donald Trump imposed broad tariffs, some of his left-wing critics began quoting economists like Milton Friedman, who adamantly believed in unilateral free trade. Friedman preferred that our trading partners refrain from imposing barriers on goods imported from the United States. He said: “We would be...
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...
I’m shocked, too — that Bill Maher’s audience took this as well as they did. Kudos to them, because it could have been very uncomfortable reception to the Real Time host. Maher has done a good job of attempting to present a more balanced show than most TV comics these days, so perhaps that’s not as...
Don’t rush to the store to buy that new iPhone just yet. After a week of volatility in the markets over Donald Trump’s tariffs, investors mainly returned to normal by the end of the week, ending on a positive upswing on Friday. The one exception was among tech stocks such as Apple, where tariffs would...
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump abruptly announced a 90-day pause on most of his planned country-specific “reciprocal” tariffs — with the notable exception of the People’s Republic of China. In so strikingly singling out China as the focus of America’s economic and geopolitical ire, Trump was not merely clarifying that the...

Everybody’s closing tabbies for the weekend, except in Playa Del Carmen … After the European Union offered to slash tariffs to zero for industrial goods with the U.S., Trump said that wasn’t enough. The bloc, he said, should close its trade surplus with the U.S. by buying $350 billion of U.S. energy products. That amount,...
China announced today that it was raising its tariffs on US goods to 125%, just below where Trump raised tariffs on Chinese goods earlier in the week. Chinese leader Xi Jinping has said his nation is “not afraid,” in his first public comments on the escalating trade war with the United States, as Beijing raised...
Contrary to what you might have heard, EV sales in the US were up in the first quarter according to two reports out recently from automotive research firms. First up, JD Power. A J.D. Power report has revealed that the overall electric vehicle (EV) market share percentage rose to 9.3% in March 2025 compared to...
Welp, it looks, amazingly enough, like our long national nightmare is close to over. No, Maxine Waters didn’t retire. An actual judge in an actual courtroom actually ruled in favor of the Trump administration and said they were free to boot Hamas-loving Columbia University ‘student’ Mahmoud Khalil. He can be deported. The government had satisfactorily...
