Suspending gas tax is not the answer to high prices from Iran war | Bangor Daily News

    It will cost drivers more than it saves by adding to congestion and vehicle repairs

    From Biden to Britain, immigration plays at the polls | Froma Harrop

      The British election should serve as a warning to Democrats who let their left fringe run riot with scant criticism. Too many Democratic strategists and friends in the progressive media read the noise coming from the far left as evidence of broader public opinion than warranted, even among D…

      Cory Booker should apply his redistricting view to New Jersey | Jonah Goldberg

        I wish "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker had asked Sen. Cory Booker if he's qualified to represent New Jersey given that nearly 9 out of 10 of his constituents are not Black.

          At 250, America needs civic parenting, not just civics classes | Julie Silverbrook

            From the founding, Americans understood that a republic depends on the character and judgment of its citizens. In the years after the Revolution, that insight took shape in what later came to be called “republican motherhood,” the belief that the success of the new nation required raising ch…

            Data centers aren’t the enemy — They’re the future | Bloomberg News

              For a bunch of unremarkable warehouses, they’re generating a lot of controversy. Data centers — low-slung facilities that house the server racks and energy systems that underpin the digital economy — have become a heated issue on the campaign trail.

              Trump right to waive mandate for US vessels | Katelyn Bledsoe

                The Trump administration’s recent waiver of the Jones Act during the conflict in the Middle East recognizes that this law restricts the efficient movement of critical resources.

                    The bigger debate behind the voting rights case | Stephen L. Carter

                      I agree with those who think the Supreme Court made a mistake in narrowing the scope of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. But rather than join in the ritual and perhaps overheated condemnation of the decision in Louisiana v. Callais, perhaps we might consider its place in the larger conver…

                      Democrats deserve some blame for Spirit Airlines' downfall | Dace Potas

                        In the wake of crippling jet fuel costs, Spirit Airlines has gone out of business, disrupting passengers’ travel plans, leaving 15,000 employees facing uncertainty and creating a major void in the budget travel market.

                              Conservatism is in decline. A larger share of Americans last year described themselves as conservative (35%) than liberal (28%) — but this seven-point difference is the smallest Gallup has measured since 1992.

                              Long gone are the days where impulse buying meant grabbing an unplanned candy bar or magazine in the checkout line. Now, social media makes it quick and easy for us to purchase just about anything with the click of a button, whether or not it’s in the budget. And for some Americans, it’s hurting them...

                              Holiday Shoppers Beware: 3 Traps to Avoid as Scammers Prepare

                              Black Friday is fast approaching, and shoppers are gearing up. The National Retail Federation expects more than 183 million people to shop over the weekend spanning Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday this year. But fraudsters are preparing for Black Friday too, looking for opportunities to steal your money or personal information. Before you dive into holiday...

                              I read with appreciation and respect the thoughtful piece by Bradford Karony in the Times-Dispatch on April 28 conveying his concern with Abigail Spanberger’s words and actions as a Congresswoman given her CIA training and how that might bear on her words and actions as Governor.

                              Letter: Implement policies to help youth who are homeless

                              Students experiencing homelessness remain one of the most overlooked populations in our public school systems despite the protections outlined in the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The policy was designed to remove and reduce barriers to enrollment and ensure students have a stable education. It often fails to address the full scope of challenges these students face.

                              The phrase “all’s fair in love and war” unfortunately also applies to politics. Especially when it comes to gerrymandering in Virginia. But it is fair to say that the Democrat push for redistricting prior to the 2030 census has shattered the concept of fairness.

                              On April 14, Gov. Spanberger signed SB18, which establishes that no child under 11 years old can be considered a “delinquent” and instead redirects them away from the justice system and toward community programs.
