At the same time, 54 percent of Americans say the economy is “good” or “excellent” — the highest […]
The U.N. Human Rights Council is not only anti-Israel; it is also anti-United States. A new report commissioned by the group, which reads like a Bernie Sanders campaign pitch and is mired in the wrong-headed economic philosophies that failed the Obama administration, confirms it: The Trump administration was entirely correct to exit the council. The U.N. […]

Americans are getting a crash course in why the Brits chose Brexit. After driving the English away by dictating rules on everything from ferret imports to fruit juice labels to what kind of electric tea kettles they could buy, EU bureaucrats have now taken up regulating the internet.

Democrats have suffered an epic collapse in approval ratings, threatening their efforts to retake control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the November midterm elections.
