Why the manufacturing comeback is going unreported

By Steve Cortes | Commentary, The Daily Signal U.S. President Donald Trump on Feb. 18, 2026, in Washington, D.C. (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) Beneath the cacophony of media noise, an important untold story emerges: A manufacturing boom is unfolding across America right now, and especially so in the geographic center of the country. This developing boom represents an epochal shift because investments in factories and tangible production involve the stickiest kind of capital expenditures. The commitment to production involves a macro “bet” on a yearslong cycle, not a near-term wager on the latest fad or concerns about the price of gasoline next week. As such, this mostly hidden story deserves to be studied and amplified, both for the economic benefits and also for ...

DSA wants Medicare for All as Medicare itself nears insolvency

By Chris Talgo | Commentary, Townhall AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson The Democratic Socialists of America’s (DSA) recently released “Workers Deserve More” program is full of silly policies that will probably never come to full fruition, fortunately. However, one of the more “mainstream” policies of the program, Medicare for All, absolutely could become the law of the land.  Medicare for All is popular because it drips empathy and means different things to people. There is no distinct definition. To some, it means a single-payer system. To others, it means providing subsidies to those who cannot afford healthcare.  Specifically, the DSA’s Medicare for All plan would “guarantee universal healthcare at no cost to individuals, including complete access to repro...

Karoline Leavitt Steps Down As Press Secretary To Put Family First

By Brittany Miller | Fox News Trump said Leavitt will remain a top outside advisor and an influential voice in the Republican Party. President Donald Trump announced that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will leave her role at the end of the month to spend more time with her family. Leavitt confirmed her departure in a lengthy post on X, saying she made the "bittersweet decision" after concluding she could not balance the demands of serving as press secretary with being the mother she wants to be to her two young children. "Serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime," Leavitt wrote. Leavitt thanked Trump for giving her the opportunity to work in ...

Walcher: The Forest Service overhaul is long overdue

By Greg Walcher | Commentary, GregWalcher.com Earlier this year U.S. Forest Service (USFS) Chief Tom Schultz announced a major reorganization of the agency, prompting the usual opposition from employees predictably opposing any change in the status quo. A few environmental industry groups expressed skepticism, but the story was mostly ignored elsewhere. That might be because many people assume it will face the same future as the first Trump Administration’s attempt to move the Bureau of Land Management from Washington to Grand Junction. The Biden Administration simply cancelled that plan and moved the office back to D.C., but this new USFS plan is much more far-reaching in scope and impact. This plan also involves moving a national headquarters out of Washington, in this case to ...

Who Funds the Experts? Pharma Ties Emerge in Vaccine Schedule Debate

By Ashe Short | Just the News The groups that most Americans treat as neutral medical authorities on what to put in their kids' bloodstreams — the AMA and the AAP — both draw millions in revenue from the companies that manufacture the vaccines they are promoting. Shortly after President Donald Trump signed an executive order reducing the number of vaccines required for young children, the American Medical Association (AMA) issued a press release claiming Trump’s order puts children’s health at risk. “Vaccines are among the most thoroughly studied, effective tools we have to protect children from serious vaccine-preventable diseases,” AMA President Willie Underwood, III, said in the statement. “Decisions about how and when vaccines are used should be driven by ri...

The stopwatch has no ideology: Why biology defines women’s sports

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker On July 16, 1988, Florence Griffith-Joyner sprinted 100 meters in 10.49 seconds at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Indianapolis. Nearly four decades later, no woman has run faster. But ... On July 16, 1988, Florence Griffith-Joyner sprinted 100 meters in 10.49 seconds at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Indianapolis. Nearly four decades later, no woman has run faster, and her world record still stands. Her 200-meter record, set at the Seoul Olympics later that year, has also stood for almost forty years. Flo-Jo remains the fastest woman who has ever lived. Yet her 100-meter record has repeatedly been surpassed by American high school boys. The current U.S. high school boys’ record is 9.92 secon...

Colorado’s THC Experience Offers Congress a Warning on Intoxicating Hemp

By The Gazette Editorial Board | Commentary, The Gazette First, it was Colorado’s majority-Democrat legislature that weighed whether to open the floodgates to dangerous, intoxicating hemp-based products. It would have compounded the damage inflicted on our kids by legalized pot. Fortunately, the lawmakers behind that reckless attempt couldn’t muster enough votes as the 2026 legislative session wound down last spring. Now, a move is afoot in the Republican-controlled Congress to stall a much-needed federal crackdown on high-potency hemp that was enacted just last fall. At the behest of the Trump administration, a delay in implementing the crackdown was inserted into a stopgap government funding bill. The move has divided ruling Republicans, some of whom mounted an unsuccessful...

Senate Release Reveals Fauci Discussion of COVID Vaccine Risks for Pregnant Women

By Eric Mack | Fox News Fauci discussed the risks from COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant women. Dr. Anthony Fauci privately discussed concerns about COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for pregnant women in January 2021, including questions about fever after a second dose and a theoretical risk of miscarriage during the first trimester, according to newly released text messages obtained from his government-issued cell phone. The exchange involved Fauci, then-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Dr. Vivek Murthy, who would later become former President Joe Biden's surgeon general. Fauci said, because many people experience significant cytokine-related symptoms and fever after a second dose, that reaction "theoretically...

It’s no longer just Democrats: Republicans join the doubt over Trump’s Iran war

By Brian C. Joondeph, M.D. | Commentary, Rasmussen Reports A recent Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 54% of likely U.S. voters believe that, in hindsight, President Donald Trump’s decision to enter the war in Iran was the wrong one, while only 35% believe it was the right one. The partisan divide is predictable, with Republicans largely supportive and Democrats overwhelmingly opposed. More interesting is the broader political question: why has an issue that once played so strongly to Trump’s advantage become a source of growing public skepticism? One of President Donald Trump’s defining campaign themes was refreshingly simple: America should stop fighting endless wars. He repeated that message across three presidential campaigns. Iraq was a mistake. Afghanistan...

Trump Shifts Iran Strategy Toward Economic Pressure To End War

By Joseph Weber | Just the News The U.S. began attacking Iran in late February after failed attempts to get the rogue Middle East nation to wind down its nuclear-enrichment program. President Trump over the weekend signaled the U.S. will now rely more on economic pressures than military strikes on Iran to force an end to their war. "We are low-keying it," Trump told the news outlet Axios. "We are only semi-negotiating with them. We are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money."
