Markets Don't Lie
- Details
- By Star Parker
As I watch the turmoil unfolding resulting from the president's new trade and tariff policy, I wonder how, as a commentator, I can avoid writing about this.
But what do I say? What side do I take? Yes, per President Donald Trump, the tariffs are the hard medicine we need to swallow to counter many years of unfair policies of our trading partners.
Or no, free trade is and always has been the best policy, even when things are not perfect and some do not play by the best rules.
Shut Down the Department of Education ASAP

- By Star Parker
A recent report from the American Enterprise Institute summarizes results from the most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress -- also known as the nation's report card.
The test, given every two years, reports scores of our nation's children in reading and math at the fourth grade and eighth grade levels.
AEI characterizes the most recent results as a "five-alarm fire." I call it simply pathetic.
Confirm Mike Huckabee as Ambassador to Israel

- By Star Parker
Confirmation of President Donald Trump's nominee to be U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has been held up in the Senate. Word now is that hearings will be held next week.
What's holding things up? Pressure from Democrats, of course.
If anyone is qualified to be America's ambassador to Israel, it is Mike Huckabee. As the former two-term governor of Arkansas, where his daughter Sarah is the current governor, former Republican presidential candidate, cable TV celebrity, Baptist minister, and Evangelical Christian, Huckabee is a perfect candidate.
Does Jeff Bezos Really Support Free Markets?
- Details
- By Star Parker
Jeff Bezos is shaking things up at The Washington Post.
The Post has always been part of the big-government, left-wing establishment part of our country.
Bezos wants to change that.
He wrote to the newspaper's staff that editorial policy is going to change.
Elon Musk Should Take on Social Security
- Details
- By Star Parker
If I say that Elon Musk is the smartest, boldest, most creative entrepreneur in the world, I don't think I will get pushback.
President Donald Trump's move to bring him to Washington and put him at the top of a new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, to do the seemingly impossible -- to streamline a vastly outsized government spending behemoth -- injects hope that yes, maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Musk, the world's richest man, is not beholden to anyone, and so there is little danger of him getting bogged down and imprisoned in the Washington culture of politics and quid pro quo.
Trump's DEI Executive Order -- Good for Blacks, Good for America
- Details
- By Star Parker
An ongoing principle of America's democratic republic is e pluribus unum. Out of many, one.
We honor and respect the uniqueness of every citizen. But we also have a common turf, a common set of transcendent values, that brings us together and we become one nation.
Sometimes, cracks appear. Sometimes, they grow and get larger and deeper. Things get dangerous when the cracks so severely deepen that they threaten to totally sever our common turf and our social cohesion.
MAGA and King's Dream
- Details
- By Star Parker
I have written often that there is a common denominator in our deeply divided nation.
That is the general sense that something is wrong.
The points of departure among our large and diverse population are the perceptions about what the problems are and what must be done.
In this spirit I ask, as many have over recent days, what message we might take from the coincidence of the inauguration day of Donald J. Trump as America's 47th president with the national holiday honoring the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
