As the war in Ukraine grinds into the summer of 2026, the question of a ceasefire has shifted from a distant hope to a grim, strategic necessity. While the rest of the world is celebrating the FIFA World Cup, Russia is mourning its dead. The grand illusions of rapid conquest have shattered, replaced by a […]
While the world’s attention is on Iran, China has been making its moves — buying ample time to extend its dominance in the South Pacific. The timing is not an accident. Recently, on July 6, China launched a submarine-based ballistic missile with a dummy warhead into the Pacific Ocean during a “test” run. The test […]
A bill has been posted on roadside poles and walls in midcoastal Maine under the headline “By Land or By Sea.” It’s the latest left-wing effort to harass officials who refuse to buckle as militant madness sweeps the nation. The bill invites malcontents to pester Chief Justice John Roberts, who, after a hectic Supreme Court […]
When I woke up Saturday morning, the first Instagram story I saw was about the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). I thought, that’s fake news. This can’t be true, until my wife walked in and said, “Have you heard … ?” I couldn’t believe it. The man was fine, touring Ukraine war zones and […]
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration recently scheduled a meeting between his commissioner of international affairs and Iran’s U.N. ambassador.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf recently declared that the era of one-sided deals is over while highlighting a memorandum provision offering safe passage for commercial vessels for only 60 days. His message was unmistakable: Tehran views negotiations not as a path to reconciliation but as another instrument of leverage. Washington should believe him. For […]
“It’s an absolutely tragic loss for Western democracy. He was an indefatigable defender of the West, of Western values, and of the principles of democracy and freedom. And he was very tough,” former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told me on Monday. “The people of Israel, Ukraine, and Iran owe him a huge amount, as […]
Oman no longer balances between the West and Iran. Muscat now openly coordinates with Tehran over the Strait of Hormuz. On July 11, Muscat proposed dividing Hormuz traffic into two separately controlled routes — one along Iran’s coast, one nearer Oman’s shore — each administered by the respective government. Officials described the plan as toll-free. […]
The Senate lost an accomplished legislator with the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and the nation lost a happy warrior. Whether the issue was national security or criminal justice reform, Graham was not only a principled advocate for his beliefs and constituents, but also a gifted deal-maker who knew how and when to reach […]
