The Trump administration on Tuesday signed an agreement with the Kingdom of Denmark and the autonomous territory of Greenland at the United Nations. It affirms and expands the American military presence in Greenland while maintaining Greenlandic autonomy and Danish sovereignty. But an agreement allowing access is only the beginning. Washington must now turn it into […]
The First Amendment is the cornerstone of the republic and it is absolute in what it protects. Journalists may report what they want. They may be wrong, unfair, and even invent false narratives and then sell it as news. At the same time, the public may choose to believe or ignore these reports. There is […]
Washington has spent two years telling Americans the door is closing. The refugee ceiling fell to 7,500, down from 125,000. On enforcement, the Trump administration has done what it promised. Then comes the exception. The State Department says it will admit up to 17,500 refugees in fiscal 2027, “primarily” Afrikaners, the white descendants of Dutch […]
Time once called Palestinian photojournalist Motaz Azaiza the world’s “eyes and ears” in Gaza. There is an uncomfortable irony in that description now. In a recent podcast interview, Azaiza described following a vehicle belonging to Hamas’s armed wing, the al Qassam Brigades, as it carried Israeli hostages through Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023. People gathered […]
The United States is talking about dialogue with North Korea. North Korea is firing missiles. On Sept. 20, North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea from the Wonsan area.

Pakistan’s rulers know how to work a room. Washington hears counterterrorism, stability, and nuclear responsibility. Tehran hears brotherhood, resistance, and shared interests. Each audience is encouraged to believe it has found a dependable partner. For years, this could be passed off as realpolitik of a state living in a difficult neighborhood. Under Pakistan’s de facto […]
President Donald Trump says the United States and Poland have made “major progress” toward establishing a permanent U.S. Army base on Polish territory. Trump noted last week that the new base could be announced “very soon,” crediting what he called the “bold leadership” of Polish President Karol Nawrocki. This is welcome news. Poland is spending […]
Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) looked into a camera this week and told President Donald Trump something Miami has been saying quietly for months. “Some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far,” she said, citing a July count in which half of the roughly 50,000 people detained had no criminal record. Salazar represents one of the […]
The artificial intelligence revolution is eroding public opposition to nuclear power. Data centers are at the heart of the AI Revolution, and these AI factories consume vast amounts of energy. Driven by the convergence of soaring electricity demand, the public’s continued support for a clean environment, and the national imperative for energy abundance, America is […]
There’s a basic distinction among spy services worldwide: those that conduct assassinations and those that don’t. America’s spy outfits, led by the Central Intelligence Agency, are in the former category. Today, the CIA tends to assassinate people with missile-armed drones and similar high-tech stand-off methods. Not all countries do it from a distance, however. Some […]

When Masoud Pezeshkian stood before the United Nations, he spoke in the name of Iran. That was the first deception. The Islamic Republic — the Shia Caliphate — is not Iran. Khomeinist ideology has been imposed upon a civilization that long predates the order established in 1979. Yet Pezeshkian carried the same exhausted script: victimhood,...
