It demands serious attention, because it represents something rare in modern trade policy: an exercise in economic realism, national interest, and mutual accountability. Unlike its predecessors, some naively idealistic, others cynically unenforced, this […]
Imagine negotiating the most consequential trade pact between the US and China in decades. Now imagine watching your successor not only ignore its enforcement, but offer China the benefits of the agreement without demanding its obligations.

By Mark Chesnut The Truth About Guns Several gun-ban groups are cheering Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs’s veto of a measure that would have bolstered the Grand Canyon State’s firearms preemption law.

On Monday morning, President Donald Trump signed a sweeping executive order aimed at dramatically lowering prescription drug prices in the United States. At the center of the order is a “most favored nation” (MFN) pricing policy, which mandates that the U.S. pay no more for medications than the lowest price paid by any other country. […]
The modern American left is allergic to legality when it does not serve their narrative. Case in point: the apoplexy over President Donald J. Trump’s acceptance of a $1 billion Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar. This aircraft, originally outfitted as a “flying palace,” has been offered as a gift to […]
