A secretive algorithm known as "differential privacy" was used to manipulate 2020 U.S. Census data under the guise of protecting user privacy. The purpose of the Census should be straightforward; an accurate counting of the American people.

Algorithmic governance shores up progressive causes discredited at the ballot box. This is a poor substitute for republican, democratically elected government, and it is poised to become all the more powerful if progressives set the terms for the use of AI.

When mayors across the country failed to enforce their own laws—including to protect federal officials—the president stepped in, and our communities are now safer because of it.

The time for hesitation has passed. America cannot continue lurching from one administration’s tariff regime to another’s retreat. The people’s representatives must legislate tariffs into permanence.

Federal funds should not flow to plans covering abortion, nor should they go to insurance policies that fund child mutilation and chemical castration.

The First Amendment protects Kimmel’s right to speak, but it also protects the right of broadcasters and the FCC’s duty to safeguard the integrity of the public airwaves.

"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
–Abraham Lincoln, 1838

Lawmakers have many issues to contemplate when considering an extension of the enhanced subsidies, including the sizable cost and increased risks of fraud associated with an extension. But they should also recognize that a straight extension of the enhanced subsidy regime would continue to send federal funds to plans that cover abortion, while doing nothing regarding the emerging blue state strategy to circumvent pro-life protections.

A realigned Farm Bill will help make America healthy again by addressing the root causes of chronic disease, restoring community life through local food economies, and strengthening national security with resilient supply chains and a fit, self-reliant citizenry.

Buchanan’s contributions to American political thought, prophetic warnings about globalization and mass immigration, and defense of American sovereignty make him a deserving candidate for the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

For the first time in history, the U.S. Census Bureau used differential privacy on the data obtained during the 2020 Census. The downstream consequences of using differential privacy in the Census data set may have played a significant role in tilting the political scales favorably toward Democrats for apportionment and redistricting purposes, and other ramifications.

The NIH has strayed from its core mission of conducting impartial biomedical research and has become a vehicle for promoting woke ideologies. By allocating taxpayer funds to projects prioritizing DEI and controversial research such as gain-of-function studies, the NIH has eroded public trust and weaponized its influence to serve ideological ends rather than promote public health.
