Jack Smith’s rigged crusade in United States v. Donald Trump
In November 2022, Attorney General Merrick Garland assigned Jack Smith the responsibility of overseeing two investigations related to former President Donald Trump.

Ruthless Putin must be stopped in Ukraine
Yevgeny Prigozhin’s reported death, allegedly at the hands of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is unsurprising, considering the extensive list of assassinations attributed to the former KGB head.

Jack Smith is too politically biased to handle Trump’s trials
Special Counsel Jack Smith, appointed last November to investigate former President Donald J.

On July 27, the Senate passed its version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a bill that sets the policy agenda and approves funding for the Department of Defense.

Better schools are not the only solution for at-risk students
Research has shown that investing in education yields positive results for at-risk students in low-income communities.

What are the House GOP’s next moves after debt ceiling deal?
In May, President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy managed to prevent a default on the nation’s debt by reaching a last-minute agreement to suspend the debt ceiling until 2025 in exchange for two years of spending caps.

Universities should use endowments to pay off student loans
In an unsurprising ruling, the Supreme Court decided to repeal President Biden’s student loan forgiveness program, which was aimed at reducing federal education debt.
