The left loves to call capital-gains relief a gift to the rich. Reality check: 74% of filers with capital gains in 2022 made under $200,000. This isn’t about billionaires. It’s about middle-class savers and homeowners getting taxed on inflation the government created. Index the basis. End the inflation tax. wsj.com/opinion/art-laffer-i…

The COINS Act rightly targets investments that could strengthen China's military capabilities. Expanding restrictions broadly to biopharma risks driving valuable drug discoveries to European competitors instead of U.S. companies.

United CEO Scott Kirby wants a national wealth tax and inheritance taxes approaching 100%. Why not focus on improving service for customers paying more and getting less? If he wants to help Americans, he should focus on his customers, not punitive taxes. wsj.com/opinion/scott-kirby-…

A New Yorker was shot dead on his way home from work, and the gunman remained at large. Yet Mamdani was busy celebrating a childcare announcement. New Yorkers don’t need staged photo ops while their subways become increasingly dangerous. They need a mayor focused on protecting the people he was elected to serve. city-journal.org/article/new…

The “just asking questions” routine is a coward’s way to push radical ideas while dodging accountability. If Hasan Piker has the conviction to influence millions of young Americans, he should have the courage to own his words. But what are we supposed to make of someone who says, “America deserved 9/11”? wsj.com/opinion/gen-z-is-jus…

Limoges’ town hall survived two world wars before rioters burned it down in 2026. Illegal immigration, failed assimilation and unchecked extremism are fueling France’s crisis. America must secure its borders, demand integration and restore law and order before our own streets descend into similar chaos. nypost.com/2026/10/20/world-…

Elon Musk is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Elizabeth Warren wants to police who can buy a mayonnaise company. One is creating the future. The other is trying to control the marketplace. America needs more entrepreneurs and a lot less government meddling. foxnews.com/opinion/want-fly…

The right to vote is reserved for American citizens. The DOJ has charged 156 people with voter fraud-related offenses since the start of this administration, and 28 more were just arrested in California. Election integrity begins with enforcing the law. No exceptions. amgreatness.com/2026/10/19/o…

Median household income is up $2,500 since Trump took office, yet the media tell you Americans are falling behind. Focusing on wages while ignoring other sources of income paints an incomplete picture. Stop cherry-picking data and report the full story. nationalreview.com/2026/10/o…

Sen. Slotkin says prosecuting Trump officials could keep young conservatives out of politics: “I want that deterrence message sent.” Using threats to drive away conservatives is political intimidation, plain and simple. Weaponizing justice undermines the rule of law. nypost.com/2026/10/19/opinio…

Electric rates have surged 92% in Maine and 59% in New York over six years. Why? Because politicians are restricting reliable energy sources in pursuit of their climate agendas. Instead, let’s expand access to natural gas, lower bills, and ensure long-term reliable energy. wsj.com/opinion/northeast-en…

Politicians are exploiting fears about AI and data centers, as with every major technological breakthrough. History shows that innovation’s risks can be managed and its benefits are enormous. Don’t let alarmism stand in the way of progress. My full piece here: forbes.com/sites/steveforbes…

French rioters desecrated synagogues and looted Jewish businesses under the guise of "activism." This is the result of enabling antisemitism. We must end the fiction that anti-Israel slogans are harmless political expression, before America makes the same mistakes. nationalreview.com/2026/10/t…

In what world does it take 16 years to approve a power line? Permitting delays across just six states cost at least 50,000 jobs and nearly $75 billion in estimated economic benefits. Congress, cut the red tape and clear the way for American jobs, investment, and affordable energy. washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed…

California is the wealthiest state in America. Yet just 38.4% of public school students are proficient in math, and fewer than half meet English standards. There's no excuse. California needs to stop pouring resources into a failing system and start putting students first. nypost.com/2026/10/18/opinio…

Eliminating competition for a federal monopoly won’t fix healthcare. Medicare for All would remove private insurance that duplicates government coverage, sweeping away options used by millions of Americans. We must not concentrate power over patients’ care in Washington. wsj.com/opinion/medicare-for…

The Fed has turned monetary policy into a bureaucratic circus. Japan’s postwar boom is a case study: when wages rise along with prices, purchasing power will hold steady. The Fed should heed the lesson and stop treating every uptick in the CPI as a threat to be neutralized. forbes.com/sites/nathanlewis…

China uses subsidies and industrial policy to support its economic goals. Meanwhile, America’s strengths lie in our entrepreneurial spirit, private investment and capacity for innovation. Let’s remove barriers to domestic production and build a more competitive economy. washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed…
