WHAT DARLINE GRAHAM’S WIN MEANS FOR THE GOP. It was hard to predict exactly how the runoff to choose the new Republican Senate candidate from South Carolina would work out. The whole process unfolded remarkably quickly following the unexpected death of Sen. Lindsey Graham on July 11. Since then, the state Republican Party organized a primary, […]
A generic drug finished in an American factory but dependent on a single overseas supplier for its active ingredient may be less secure than an imported medicine produced at two independent plants with multiple qualified suppliers. That distinction matters as President Donald Trump moves to bring generic-drug manufacturing back to the United States. He has […]
“’Woke 1′ was crazy.” So said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on ABC News’s This Week earlier this month. She said she was quoting New York City Councilman Chi Osse, whom the New York Times characterizes as “far left.” This was where Ocasio-Cortez seemed to be located on the ideological spectrum after her surprise defeat of […]
Knights of the Crusades, crosses on their chests and swords held high, rushed toward a Muslim horde with violence in their eyes and scimitars raised. That image circulated on social media ahead of the Aug. 18 political march in Dearborn, Michigan — only a few miles from where I have lived my whole life, first […]
The battle over the Navy’s flight decks has escalated into a high-stakes standoff between legacy muscle and digital progress. President Donald Trump recently issued a national security presidential memorandum directing War Secretary Pete Hegseth to return future carriers to traditional steam power. This directive is not without merit. For a military caught between rising costs […]
A massive tourist city has been built on North Korea‘s eastern coast: the Wonsan-Kalma Coastal Tourist Zone. Long pursued by the Kim Jong Un regime, the project opened in July 2025. Boasting large-scale accommodations capable of hosting around 20,000 people, beaches, water parks, and commercial and convenience facilities, Pyongyang heavily promoted the area as a […]
Big companies can start America’s next growth cycle, but small businesses determine its trajectory and magnify its impact. That requires a fundamental change in how America thinks about investment. A new factory, power plant, or infrastructure project should not be viewed as a stand-alone achievement. It should become the center of a wider growth platform […]
Bad actors are hiding under the guise of truthful reporting to manipulate the markets for their own gain. Journalistic freedom is meant to serve the public and produce credible stories that the American people need to make informed decisions about where they invest, work, and save. But that trust is being tested. Social media has […]
The Islamic Republic of Iran has spent decades building a weapon more subtle than missiles and more difficult to detect than drones. It is an influence machine, a sprawling ecosystem of state media, intelligence services, diplomats, lobbyists, academics, commentators, social media influencers, and political intermediaries designed to shape how Western governments understand Iran. Its objectives […]
Let’s separate the facts from the fiction as to whether the United States should leave NATO. NATO, a military alliance aimed primarily at defending Western Europe against aggression from the Soviet Union and its satellite countries after World War II, was created on April 4, 1949, to guarantee the freedom and security of its members, […]
Opening statements began this week in a federal courtroom in Oakland, California, and the accusation on the table is blunt. A lawyer for four state attorneys general told the judge Meta’s business model comes down to four words: hook, hold, harvest, hide. I’ve raised three boys through the smartphone era, and I’ve spent years coaching […]
America devoted more than two decades and over $2 trillion to the fight against the Taliban in Afghanistan. The price was measured not only in dollars, but in sacrifice. More than 2,400 brave Americans gave their lives, while many thousands returned home carrying physical and emotional wounds. Families also bore the burden, spending months and […]
The week you bring your precious child home from the hospital, your phone fills with congratulations and, if you’re truly fortunate, your porch fills up with food from friends. Everybody wants to know how the baby is sleeping and whether she has her dad’s nose. Fewer people ask the other question: how is her mother […]
