At a time when our country is deeply divided on law enforcement funding, critical race theory, vaccine and mask mandates, election integrity and border security, the national anthem stands as a symbol of our shared sacrifice, struggles and values as a nation. As such it is an opportunity for unity, but it is also a civic […]
The humiliating, precipitous, poorly planned rush to get out of Afghanistan after 20 years of sacrifice by American military personnel was the worst U.S. foreign policy failure since Vietnam. Period. And given all we know of Joe Biden’s long list of foreign policy bungles; it is sadly not surprising. It was always a mistake to […]

Before COVID-19, before nationwide protests, and before rioting shook our streets, one of the biggest issues during the Democratic presidential primary debates was that of the absurdly high cost of college and associated student debt. It’s a legitimate issue. College is exceedingly expensive. But the Democratic candidates never got into why college costs have been […]
A major fissure within the Democratic Party has come into focus right here in Florida: the division between pro-life, pro-school choice Democrats and pro-abortion, school union-beholden Democrats.

There are two stories running in the background of the COVID-19 pandemic that too few people are taking note of, or even recognize: the critical role of sound budgeting in good times in order to create reserves for a time of crisis. It sounds boring and less important than other things government can spend money […]
In Gov. Ron DeSantis’ speech to a joint session of the Legislature on opening day a few weeks ago, he said: “Tax lightly, spend wisely and regulate reasonably.” That is a perfect encapsulation of solid conservative governance. But we don’t always spend enough serious energy on the last point: regulation. Regulations as much as taxes […]
Floridians have long cited the need to diversify our economy to keep us from being so heavily dependent on just a few industries — industries that are subject to deep cycles. We saw once again how this works during the last recession when Florida went from having an unemployment rate that was below the U.S. […]
Floridians know full well the problems with invasive species of animals. From feral hogs destroying pastures and damaging cattle to pythons upending the ecological balance of the Everglades, invasive species can wreak havoc on our environment. These aren’t problems we can solve overnight, nor are they problems government alone can solve. Long-term solutions need to […]
