In the south transept of Westminster Abbey, touched by the jeweled light of a rose window, is Poets’ Corner. Geoffrey Chaucer was buried here in 1400 — not because he wrote The Canterbury Tales, but because he was a royal official. Two centuries later, the great Elizabethan poet Edmund Spenser asked to be interred next […]
“I hope your venue gets firebombed.” That’s a real comment from a leftist reacting to the Massachusetts lesbian bar, Last Ditch Bar and Arts Venue, dropping its mask mandate — for just one night per week — in an effort to increase business. Here’s another: “People like you kill disabled people in the name of […]
Fiction frequently anticipates friction. Fauda’s fifth season treats the French-Hamas nexus in Marseille as an operational fact, mirroring a grim reality. This TV show previously presaged the Oct. 7, 2023, tunnel raid — a scenario its own writers initially discarded as too far-fetched for television. My recent analysis for these pages exposed this exact channel: […]
On Tuesday, at U.N. headquarters, President Donald Trump and the leaders of Denmark and Greenland signed a security agreement. Trump says it gives Washington “permanent control over security, and all other needs” in Greenland, and calls it an “Infinite Life” agreement. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says the agreement recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity […]
They say, “If you have to ask how much it costs, you can’t afford it.” But when it comes to defending our values, our society, and our way of life, if all you care about is how much it costs, then you don’t deserve it. Now come the headlines that place the cost of the […]
I supported President Donald Trump because I believe he understands that people need real food instead of the junk that corporations have been feeding us for decades. His commitment became clear when he nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health and human services secretary. Kennedy’s MAHA agenda provided a plan to address America’s health crisis […]
This year’s United Nations General Assembly in New York City has refocused attention on the chronic and lamentable fact that the international body is sclerotic, corrupt, and almost useless. A Wall Street Journal headline, “World Leaders Nearly All Agree That United Nations is Failing,” put the matter straightforwardly. But those leaders’ complaints referred narrowly to […]
Commercial satellite images show that China has upgraded its naval base in Djibouti nearly a decade after it first opened. Even before enhancing the facility, the Chinese army was already using lasers to blind American military pilots landing at the airstrip they share with the country’s small international airport. China will not allow U.S. ships […]
President Donald Trump began his second term with a compelling answer to a media establishment he believed was biased against him: more access, more voices, and more competition. By banning CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House because he objects to their coverage, Trump is abandoning that approach. The answer to a hostile […]
As President Donald Trump was at the White House regaling Chinese President Xi Jinping on a state visit, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was in New York City meeting with diplomatic delegations on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly. The regressing U.S.-Canada relationship is the source of Carney’s diplomatic blitz. The Trump administration’s decision […]
