Early September in France is la rentrée, the “return” to school and work from the long summer vacation. The political season resumes too. This September, la rentrée began the final run-up to the April-May 2027 presidential elections. France has a long tradition of strikes and street protests. No one was surprised that public-sector unions marked […]
When violence broke out at a Wednesday Trump rally in South Carolina, the president seemingly forgot he’s no longer a reality TV personality — at least, that’s how he treated the situation. “Wow, thank you, that was great,” President Donald Trump said in reaction to a heckler being punched. “I love that, I watched that, […]
Abdul el Sayed, Michigan’s Democratic Senate nominee, told ABC News on Monday that “it’s time for us to realize that Israel is actually not our friend,” comparing the Jewish state to a kid who keeps “bumming off” your child’s money and dragging him into fights. Days earlier, he assured Jewish voters that whatever their “differences” […]
When they see immigrant thugs looting and trashing cities, social media commentators sometimes mock the rioters as young professionals, doctors, architects, etc. It is intended as an irony-laden riposte to the fatuous left-wing argument that diversity makes the West stronger, and that mass immigration from alien cultures brings talent that grows the economy.

Everyone wants the war in Ukraine to end. President Donald Trump has made that his goal from Day One. But ending the fighting and protecting American interests are different things. Recent developments made that clear. On Oct. 9, Trump announced a deal to lift sanctions on Russian diesel, allowing it to reach American and global […]
Police attempting to block and contain demonstrators amid clouds of tear gas in Paris over the past month have generated daily newspaper headlines and up-to-the-minute commentary on social media. Yet this is also old news. Paris without a wannabe anarchist torching a Peugeot parked on the boulevard near a Left Bank cafe would be like […]
Early voting in Virginia has begun. But as the midterm frenzy kicks into high gear, the media have largely ignored one of the most extreme ballot measures in the commonwealth’s history. This amendment could turn Virginia into an abortion destination. This fall, Virginians will have a chance to vote “yes” or “no” on Amendment 1, […]
Abdul el Sayed, the Michigan Democratic nominee for Senate, says a lot of things that aren’t true. We already knew that he bristles at questions that inconveniently highlight his radicalism, just as he’s temporarily feigning a lack of familiarity with his close friend and campaign surrogate who famously seethed that “America deserved 9/11.” That bigot, […]
In today’s issue: Democrat Amy Acton's chances of flipping the Ohio governor's race seem to have received a boost as backlash to Republican Vivek Ramaswamy's controversial ad featuring her estranged mother keeps growing. Ramaswamy has doubled down in defending the ad, which depicts Acton's birth mother, Donna Arthur, calling her daughter a "liar" and saying she needs "help" as part of a message urging...
