    Ed Feulner Built Institutions in Support of American Values A

    By Mike Pence - July 21, 2025

    Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

    Principles of Government · February 6, 2024 ·

    By Mike Pence – As the founder of the Heritage Foundation, Ed was a leading voice of conservatism for more than 50 years. Under his leadership, Heritage became both a center for scholarship and a powerhouse of strategic influence. 

    What concerned him, as always, was the long-term health of the American Republic, and the strength of the institutions that would defend it for generations to come.

     Ed didn’t just build up institutions; he cultivated a movement that brought ivory tower ideas into the public square and never lost sight of the moral and spiritual foundations of liberty. Read More

    The Rise of the Climate Right

    By Kimberley A. Strassel - July 31, 2025

    Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

    Principles of Government · August 6, 2024 ·

    By Kimberly Strassel – We still don’t know the extent to which human activity plays a role in warming, given natural variability, data limitations, uncertain models and fluctuations in solar activity. Models predicting what is to come remain all over the map. U.S. historical data doesn’t support claims of increased frequency or intensity of extreme weather. Climate change is likely to have little effect on economic growth. U.S. climate policies, even drastic ones, will have negligible effect on global temperatures. Read More

    Netanyahu Flips the Script

    By Walter Russell Meade - June 17, 2025

    Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

    Principles of Government · August 6, 2025 ·

    By Walter Russell Meade – A coalition in revolt, prosecutors on his heels, powerful rivals looking to unseat him, chilly relations with Mr. Trump, growing opposition from Europe, skeptical military and intelligence chiefs and a hostile press—few leaders anywhere have faced this kind of pressure.

    By Walter Russell Meade – By week’s end, Bibi had flipped the script. A series of military blows exposed the weakness of Iran’s sulphurously belligerent regime and demonstrated Israel’s military and intelligence supremacy in the Middle East. The government crisis subsided. Mr. Trump praised Israel’s audacious attack. As in the months after Oct. 7, 2023, a determined prime minister harnessed the Israeli military machine to orchestrate a dazzling series of victories that stunned the world even if they did not win it over.

    2024 Presidential Candidates Against the Administrative State B

    By James Bacon - May 31, 2023

    Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

    Principles of Government · July 26, 2023 ·

    By James Bacon – The only way the next president can solve the problem for good is to assemble the right team from the beginning. It is necessary but insufficient to fill the executive branch’s roughly 4,000 political positions with appointees committed to the president’s agenda. He needs a White House made up of people with firsthand knowledge of how bureaucratic politics operate and the will to use that knowledge for a system overhaul. It isn’t enough to have competent conservatives. As president you need people who can outsmart the bureaucrats by devising unconventional ways around the obstacles they’ll erect. Read More
