We’re already moving past 5G. Trump must lead the way on 6G

The United States needs to lead in 6G, the next generation of wireless technology that will evolve how we connect to and use networks, by closing the coverage and capacity gaps in today’s 5G networks. Just as 5G enabled today’s smartphones and mobile networks, 6G will power the technologies expected to define the coming decades, […]

The American Revolution is the only one in world history that actually delivered on the promises it made

At 250, it's worth celebrating the fact that the American Revolution got it right—while other countries' revolutions devolved into chaos and bloodshed.

Why is Mamdani protecting deadly-reckless e-bike riders?

Mamdani ordered the NYPD to stop criminal enforcement back off in March, claiming it was about fairness. What about fairness for the victims?

Socialism is winning our elections because it already won our classrooms

Watch the reaction to the primaries in New York last week and you will hear a word that would have ended a campaign a generation ago: socialism. Candidates now say it with pride. Commentators warn, accurately, that the platform beneath it, abolishing borders, defunding the police, seizing private property, is something far more radical than […]

America at 250: Still funding its largest abortion provider

As America 250 celebrations begin across the country, people will gather to mark the nation’s semiquincentennial. In doing so, we celebrate July 4, 1776 — the moment the great American experiment was conceived. Notice what we do not celebrate. We do not mark America’s birthday from the day its government was formed, the day the […]

Vance finds his way home in new book, ‘Communion: Finding My Way to Faith’

How quickly things change. At the outset of the war in Iran and in the aftermath of the U.S. military incursion into Venezuela, various pundits and partisans played a version of Where’s Waldo? involving Vice President JD Vance while observing that Secretary of State Marco Rubio was virtually ubiquitous. “Vance finally emerges from hiding,” read […]

The last Founding Father: How James Monroe paved the way for America’s greatness

George Washington was the father of our nation, a man seemingly cast from marble whose service, both in wartime and as president, made both its existence and survival possible.

Brendan Simms’s new novel asks, have great powers returned?

It is clear by now that the end of the Cold War and the period of relative peace, globalization, and prosperity that ensued after the collapse of the USSR and its satellites was no end of history. Instead, the United States sat briefly alone at the helm of the world order, where it made a […]

Erdogan’s Turkey is no place for the F-35

President Donald Trump would be justified in striking a $700 million deal to sell jet aircraft engines to the Turkish air force. But he would make a serious strategic error if he sold F-35 stealth fighter jets to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government. Asked Wednesday about the possibility of doing so, Trump said Erdogan “really […]

An old friend’s surprise at a new vocation

I was in Paris last week for a party to celebrate the wedding anniversary of old friends. I know that’s a polarizing sentence to read. People hear “Paris,” and they quickly feel as though they need to have an opinion. Sometimes it’s: Paris? In June? With all of those tourists? And sometimes it’s: Lotta snobby, […]
