It’s Veteran’s Day, so lawmakers are going through their annual ritual of paying lip service to American troops, past and present. But veterans want and deserve more than ass kissing from the political class: They want their government to have their backs like they had ours.

The nation’s political class should have learned an important lesson last evening: voters like marijuana and other substances more than they like politicians, of any stripe.

They wanted her to wait […]Read More
Election 2020 has been a lot of things, but ‘substantive’ is surely not one of them.

The Trump administration is spiking the football after securing an $8.3 billion settlement with Purdue Pharma – in what officials claim is the largest settlement with a pharmaceutical company in American history.
