Circulating across the internet, there is a meme of Mbappe’s face pasted over the body of the Chinese dictator, Mao Zedong. When asked which is his favorite meme […]
I’m sure most of you have seen, or at least heard of, the controversial ad put forward to Ohio voters by gubernatorial hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy. Many of you have probably even read or heard arguments for and against such tactics. I’m not here to add to the debate. Today, I want to step away from […]
Philadelphia made news this year when, inexplicably, the city’s district attorney, Larry Krasner, County Sheriff Rochelle Bilal, and the City Council all took aggressive and radical positions against illegal immigration enforcement operations and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. Throughout 2026, Krasner called ICE officers “wannabe Nazis,” Bilal labeled them “fake, wannabe law enforcement,” and the […]
We didn’t work for David Richardson, but we knew him. We are part of a team of seven former senior executives and military officers who blew the whistle on waste, fraud, and retaliation in the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Puerto Rico recovery. For seven years, we worked through the agency’s bureaucracy, and it produced delays. […]

Israel has spent three years winning on the battlefield. Since Oct. 7, 2023, it has struck its enemies in seven arenas and restored its standing as the regional power. It has not yet won where wars are finally decided: in the minds of the enemy. That is the argument of Meir Ben-Shabbat, who headed Israel’s […]
On Oct. 18, Limoges Mayor Guillaume Guérin stood before the ruins of his city’s 143-year-old town hall and described something more troubling than a riot. He told Le Monde that 500 to 600 ultra-left militants had infiltrated a demonstration of 5,000 people. They brought mortars and a 200-kilogram battering ram, knew where to enter, and […]
A new report from the House Judiciary Committee warns that Gotham DAs are downgrading charges for illegal-immigrant criminals in order to help them avoid...
When I first argued that Congress should create a framework for Iran’s frozen assets, the principle was simple: release for compliance, confiscation for defiance. That principle still stands. What the legislative work that followed has clarified is the sequence required for it to be effective. Before Congress creates a broader mechanism for confiscating Iranian assets, […]
With just days remaining, Abdul el Sayed is navigating treacherous political waters. The high-stakes campaign has featured intense preelection rhetoric, including his opponent’s claim of “ties” to the Muslim Brotherhood and President Donald Trump’s Truth Social post calling him a Muslim Brotherhood member. Public scrutiny boiled over at a recent event when a heckler pointedly […]
