When people hear that I write handwritten letters to leaders and embassies around the world, they usually come up to me with the same question: “Do they really write back?” Here's the answer: sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. A few have mailed signed books. Others have sent ...
Now that the dust has started to settle after the blue tsunami that swept through the country, Americans are being reminded that no matter what, politicians never learn. On the back of this electoral humiliation, President Donald Trump has responded by ignoring that the country rejected his economic platform (which involved sparking trade wars with everyone except China and sticking tariffs on anyone who looked at him the wrong way) and ignoring that he launched the war in Iran without first making his case to the American people (let alone going to Congress). Instead, Trump is now ...
When Honda announced earlier this week that it is planning a $3 billion investment in a new vehicle assembly plant near Marysville, it was a reminder of the faith the automaker — and other large employers — have in Ohio and its workforce. “This is not simply an investment in another plant. It is an investment in the future of Honda manufacturing in America,” said Bob Nelson, executive vice president of American Honda Motor.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ...
Blue wave embarrasses leftist claiming Trump would end elections We had a midterm election in which the Democrats and the Left were wildly successful. There is one way in which this makes some of them look either deeply stupid or dishonest. Many of them who rejoice now tried to claim there ...
For the last two years, the Trump administration has been governed by a simple mantra: "We can just do things." On Tuesday, voters replied, "So can we," and wiped out the GOP. This was not a blue wave. This was not a blue tsunami. This was the breakup of a winning coalition. Those voters, in breaking up the coalition, treated down-ballot races as proxies for their contempt of Washington, D.C. The race for dog catcher became nationalized because of Republican political malpractice. In 2024, Donald Trump assembled a multiracial and multiethnic coalition of voters who bristled at the ...
