No, Not All Women Identify with Lindsay Clancy

The trial is Luigi Mangione madness all over again.

Cameras only watch prison assaults. AI can actually prevent them

Twenty-three years ago, Congress did something almost unheard of in today’s political climate: it came together unanimously to confront one of the darkest realities inside America’s correctional system. The Prison Rape Elimination Act, signed into law by then-President George W. Bush in 2003, established a national policy of zero tolerance for sexual abuse in prisons […]

Luigi Mangione didn’t choose the Left. The Left chose him

As Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty in federal court to stalking and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the reaction to his attack remains unsettling. When it comes to political violence, one relatively consistent pattern is that the political movement that shares the ideology of the perpetrator will attempt to distance itself from the attacker. Partisan media […]

White, liberal female Lindsay Clancy supporters are proving why men are right to want to remain single

Last summer, I went out on a date with a woman, a dame, if you would, to a Philadelphia Phillies baseball game. We had amazing seats, saw an amazing game, and the Phillies won. A great time was had by all. While walking home after the game, we came to a street corner where the […]

Trump just blew open the smoke screen on America’s northern border

While much attention has been fixed on the southern border, a different kind of smuggling operation has been quietly thriving 5,500 miles to the north. And Canada’s failure to stop it is now a card the Trump administration is playing at the USMCA negotiating table. For too long, Canada has taken advantage of U.S. prosperity […]

Tokyo just changed Kim Jong Un’s nuclear calculus

North Korea’s perspective on Japan is shifting. On August 4, Kim Yo Jong, Vice Department Director of the Workers’ Party of Korea and sister to supreme leader Kim Jong Un, strongly criticized Japan’s military buildup, warning that Pyongyang could take “additional military steps” in response. What provoked North Korea was the Maritime Self-Defense Force’s test-firing […]

‘I would get fired’: The admission exposing Mamdani’s antisemitism office as a muzzle, not a shield

An office charged with combating antisemitism cannot fulfill its mission if its officials fear losing their jobs for challenging the mayor who appointed them. That is the troubling question now facing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration following an alleged admission by one of his Jewish outreach officials: “I can’t speak out against my […]

Trump’s bombs weakened Iran’s regime. Its own people can take it down

As the war with Iran approaches its seventh month, the Trump administration should resist a dangerous conclusion: Because the Islamic Republic has survived, it must therefore be stronger than many believed. Survival is not strength. The regime has been severely weakened militarily, but the deeper evidence of its vulnerability is inside Iran itself: an economy […]

Bond market meltdown shows MAGA needs a deficit-reducing response before election day

International markets are rattled by global events. That was made clear by the Aug. 18 widespread global selloff of U.S. Treasury securities, raising 30-year yields to roughly 5.34%, the highest level since 2007. There are several causes for the rising investor anxiety. This includes renewed conflict in the Middle East, along with a continued guessing […]

Amy Barrett defies easy categorization, to the dismay of the Left and Right

During her Senate confirmation hearings in October 2020, Justice Amy Coney Barrett enjoyed enthusiastic support from the Right and received harsh criticism from the Left. It was entirely expected. She was President Donald Trump‘s third nominee to the Supreme Court, not long before the presidential election, much to the chagrin of Democrats. Abortion-rights advocates were […]

‘Shield from the Majority’ is under attack in Alaska 

Since before the nation’s founding, Americans have engaged in political speech and advocacy anonymously. Anonymity helps to protect speakers from reprisals, violent or otherwise. It also removes a possible distraction from the contents of the message: the identity and reputation of the speaker. But private and public actors alike around the country are chipping away […]

Trump talked for a week. Six capitals moved

Start with the week itself, in order. On Aug. 14, at a police training center in Garden City, New York, President Donald Trump told a room of law enforcement officers that once Iran is finished, “pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States.” He added the sentence that was […]

What’s behind Russia’s escalation against the UK

Following reports that Ukraine had used drones made by two British companies to strike oil and logistics facilities inside Russia, Moscow’s embassy in London accused the United Kingdom of deliberately escalating the war. It promised “consequences” would follow. The deeper the U.K. became involved in the war, Russia said, “the higher the price it will […]

Why did a GOP House candidate register as Cuba’s foreign agent?

Vic Mellor wants to represent Rhode Island’s 2nd Congressional District. In late May, mid-campaign, he flew to Havana, delivered humanitarian supplies, and met twice over lengthy dinners with Raul Guillermo Rodriguez Castro, grandson of former Cuban leader Raul Castro. Three weeks later, he registered with the Justice Department as a foreign agent for two arms of the Cuban […]

Knee-jerk Flock panic threatens a tool that’s making our cities safer
