Reflecting on the career of former President Barack Obama, the author Andrew Ferguson lamented that “we have lost a writer and gained another politician.” Can the same be said of Vice President JD Vance? The similarities between the 44th president and the 50th vice president of the United States are striking: broken homes, absent fathers, […]
The push to wed the American right to Catholicism is not new, but it has reached a fever pitch. I’m a friend of both — by all means be Catholic, and by all means be right-wing — but please do not imagine that this marriage is anything short of a blunder. The vows are all […]
None of the South China Sea’s atolls is as disputed as the Scarborough Shoal, which lies in the Philippines’s exclusive economic zone, but which China claims as its own.

Two of the region’s largest conventional militaries are now training together while Ankara embeds Turkish defense production inside Egypt’s armed forces. In September 2025, Turkish and Egyptian warships conducted their first joint naval […]
If you listen to the ravings of the denizens of the Left in the media, in Congress, in Hollywood, and in academia, you would think it is still 1964 — when the Civil Rights Act was passed — and that racism is not only still prevalent everywhere across the country, but that it is still […]
It is difficult to reconcile the surge of socialism, specifically democratic socialism, in the United States of America, precisely as the nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. In New York City on Tuesday, socialists won all three of the Democratic Party primary races for districts in the House of Representatives. All […]
No country ever went into a bargaining session with less leverage yet emerged with greater rewards than Iran has just done. The regime was close to collapse economically, socially, and militarily, but President Donald Trump’s memorandum of understanding rescued it and gave it new life. The first stage of Operation Epic Fury was brilliantly conceived […]
Many militaries, including the US, Ukraine and Russia, are working on swarming drone capabilities — just one possible explanation for what an American F-15...
