New Yorkers who care about crime, the mentally ill and protecting taxpayer funds should watch Thursday’s debate between Attorney General Letitia James and challenger...
The State Department stubbornly clings to a phantom diplomacy, recognizing a corrupt, Islamist faction in Tripoli as Libya’s sole government. Yet, the physical map dismantles this Washington fantasy. In reality, Benghazi-based Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army controls 70% of the country, holds the vital Sirte Basin, and secures the oil terminals that keep […]
The recent United Nations General Assembly once again gave world leaders a stage to criticize President Donald Trump and American foreign policy. Iran’s president attacked Trump while portraying his own country as a victim of terrorism. French President Emmanuel Macron warned of a “new age of barbarism.” Other American allies used the gathering to distance […]
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s statement on the third anniversary of Oct. 7, 2023, begins reasonably enough. He calls the Hamas attack “horrific war crimes,” recalls the more than 1,100 Israelis who were killed and the 251 people abducted into Gaza, and offers sympathy to New Yorkers who continue to carry the trauma of […]
On the morning of Oct. 7, 2023, I woke up late and checked the news. My feed runs in three languages, English, Arabic, and French, so I usually see the same event through very different lenses. That morning, every lens showed horror. The images were unbearable, and the videos sent a chill through me. I […]
On Feb. 29, 2008, Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton first aired her famous “3 a.m.” campaign ad. Her Senate colleague Barack Obama had breakout momentum, which Clinton desperately wanted to break. Obama had served on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee but missed nearly half of its votes. Clinton’s gambit didn’t work, of course, but her […]
When Virginians head to the polls on Nov. 3, they will vote on “Question 1, Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment.” What voters will see is a question asking, effectively, whether they support or oppose adding a section to the state constitution that establishes a right to an abortion. If they read the ambiguous and deceptively […]
A dispute is escalating between Ukraine and South Korea. The root of the disagreement flows from Ukraine’s capture of two North Korean soldiers who were fighting alongside Russia in January 2025. Both soldiers later expressed a desire to relocate to South Korea. After negotiations, they were quietly transferred to Seoul in September. All was fine. […]
There comes a point when a political commentary brand ceases to be a heterodox platform and descends into a poison in the body politic and an open electoral liability. For Tucker Carlson, that Rubicon was crossed years ago. In February 2024, Carlson traveled to Moscow for an over-two-hour puff-piece interview with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, […]
Military power can destroy a regime’s missiles, command centers, and military infrastructure. But a successful operation should not be mistaken for the achievement of its political objective. A government that can still repress its people and isolate its opponents may survive heavy blows and rebuild its military capabilities. The question about Iran is not simply […]
The Washington Examiner published an editorial titled “Trump just made cars more affordable” on Oct. 3. I couldn’t agree more. President Donald Trump’s Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards reset is an affordability win for consumers. The Biden administration stretched the CAFE program far beyond its original purpose and used fuel-economy requirements to pursue a de […]
The Democrats’ latest anti-Trump hoax is their most nonsensical, and yet of course, their media handmaidens pretend to swallow it hook, line and sinker.
