One of the Democratic Party’s newest rising stars, James Talarico, is being mocked for a “creepy" comment he made about children who identify as transgender.
Any honest accounting of the Trump presidency from a conservative perspective will necessarily be mixed and a study in paradox. One of the greatest paradoxes of the current administration is that, in its rush to enact President Donald Trump’s ambitious agenda as quickly as possible, it risks derailing it. Two examples come to mind. The […]
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) took to social media this week to ridicule, mock, and criticize the recent surge in gas prices in the United States and to connect them to President Donald Trump. His social media accounts have blasted the president over the country’s soaring fuel costs, blaming the military conflict in Iran for the […]
The March 4 House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing laid bare a simple truth: When states ditch independent financial oversight, taxpayers get robbed blind. Fraud is the invisible tax worsening the affordability crisis, hitting our groceries, mortgages, and our children’s future. Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Attorney General Keith Ellison perhaps started to realize […]
The popular image of a world war is sudden catastrophe, mass mobilization, and unmistakable collapse. That is not what we see today. However, the world is in a great power competition, a distributed struggle for influence, security, and control of critical resources. World War III is not looming. It is underway right now. It is […]

As conflict intensifies across the Middle East and pressure mounts on Iran’s military and political leadership, a long-shadowed figure inside the Islamic Republic has stepped fully into power. Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran’s former supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, has been chosen as the country’s new supreme leader, inheriting authority at one of the most dangerous moments in the regime’s history. Yet […]
This past week, President Donald Trump accomplished what seven presidents before him never could by cutting the head off the snake of the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, the Islamic Republic of Iran. For 47 years, this once-prosperous nation was turned into a prison of oppression, censorship, and violence by radical Shia […]
President Donald Trump inherited an economy sputtering from four years of the Biden administration’s economic strategy of overspending, overregulating, and a simple refusal to recognize that COVID-19 was over. He won in 2024 because voters still remember how the economy flourished during Trump’s first administration and didn’t want four more years of stunted-growth policies from […]
The news broke last Friday like a thunderclap: Russia has been feeding Iran the precise locations of U.S. warships and aircraft — real-time, actionable intelligence used to kill Americans. Six U.S. service members are already dead in Kuwait, struck by an Iranian drone. The CIA’s station in Riyadh was hit, killing another. According to officials who spoke to […]
The National Intelligence Council bridges the intelligence and policy communities to provide policymakers with intelligence assessments. It famously produces National Intelligence Estimates and makes other judgments that gain legitimacy from the claim that they represent the consensus of 18 different intelligence agencies. That, of course, is nonsense. The Central Intelligence Agency assesses problem sets that […]
There’s an old adage that is true: You get what you tolerate. What took place in New York over the weekend should be intolerable but has been tolerated, and so it is what the city is not afflicted with. Two suspects have been arrested and charged with throwing bombs — the prevailing term is “improvised […]
