The death of kings: As a Cuban from Miami, I welcome Raul Castro’s indictment

Former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured and removed from Caracas, Venezuela, in an American operation called “Absolute Resolve” on Jan. 3. The next month, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the brutal supreme leader of Iran, was killed during a joint U.S.-Israeli operation. And on Wednesday, the United States indicted Fidel Castro’s […]

Congressional Chats with Christopher Tremoglie: Rep. Matt Van Epps

It’s no secret that Democrats are the party of failed, horrendous border security policies and suppressing illegal immigration enforcement. They promoted policies that led to millions of illegal immigrants entering the country, many with violent criminal records, during the Biden administration, contributing to the murders of innocent American women Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and Jocelyn […]

Freedom Conservatives plot a post-Trump Republican Party

Welcome to Thursday’s edition of Washington Secrets. We spent Wednesday getting our FreeCon or something, hanging out with one of the factions in the Republican Party preparing for what comes after Donald Trump. Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) delivered a “fireside chat” — there was no fire or fireside — in which he said he wished […]

Capturing Raul Castro would be more difficult than capturing Nicolas Maduro

The Justice Department indicted de facto Cuban leader Raul Castro this week over the 1996 killings of four Americans. The indictment shows that the Trump administration wants to pressure Castro’s communist regime and to lay a legal foundation for any future U.S. military raid to capture him. Castro will certainly fear that a U.S. special […]

Keep Chinese autonomous vehicles off the road

The U.S. autonomous vehicle industry, like any other industry, relies on a supply chain that spans the globe, collecting automotive hardware and raw materials from countless other countries. Typically, a global supply chain is a positive sign of cost optimization and connectivity, but these benefits should not obscure national security considerations. In the United States, […]

How America is losing Iraq to Iran without a single shot being fired

Three days. That is how long it took Washington to go from warning that Iraqi government elements are providing cover for Iran-backed militias to congratulating Tehran’s hand-picked prime minister and inviting him to the White House. Ali al Zaidi, a known money launderer and dollar smuggler whose Al-Janoob Islamic Bank has been under coordinated sanctions […]

Illicit vapes flooded our borders. The Trump administration is fighting back

For too many Washington bureaucrats, American border security is reduced to a narrow, checklist exercise — counting crossings and manning checkpoints while ignoring the torrent of illicit goods and other poisons flooding our communities.  But during my time at the Department of Homeland Security, I saw a fundamental shift: Border Patrol was no longer operating […]

No-show Congress: Weekend at Bernie’s moves to Capitol Hill

The Weekend at Bernie’s joke, propping up a dead man while everyone plays along, has moved from Democratic Party headquarters to Capitol Hill. Lawmakers from both parties treat their seats like paid vacation, available to skip while taxpayers cover the tab and the public’s business sits unfinished. The ghost votes Rep. Frederica Wilson, the 83-year-old […]

Pennsylvania primary results unpacked: Democrats go far left, while GOP centers

MONONGAHELA, Pennsylvania — Downballot primary results for seats in the Pennsylvania legislature and Congress had both parties heading into very different directions for November’s midterm election cycle. The Democrats are marching far left, and Republicans are beating back challengers from their far-right flanks. In Washington County, in a strident race, Republican state Sen. Camera Bartolotta […]

Universities hemorrhage public trust by folding to the mob

On May 6, Georgetown University Law Center announced that former Northwestern University President Morton Schapiro, its 2026 commencement speaker, had withdrawn from the ceremony. His apparent offense: writing opinion essays defending Israel and criticizing higher education’s response to the Hamas terrorist attacks of Oct. 7, 2023. After a student petition labeled his views “controversial, Zionist, […]

The great danger of allowing China to co-manage global order

“Has China defeated our country?” chirped right-wing activist Mike Cernovich when reposting a clip of President Donald Trump speaking to Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Friday. The Make America Great Again movement, committed to confronting China, not Russia, was not impressed by the recent summit in Beijing with Chinese President Xi Jinping, whom it sees […]

Republicans are better than Democrats at keeping bigots out of the party — but for how long?

On the day Kentucky Republicans rejected pathologically Israel-obsessed Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) reelection bid, Maureen Galindo, a Texas Democrat, promised to turn an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center “into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking.” The new facility, she added, would “also be a castration processing center for […]
