Democrats, isolationists, and other Israel obsessives like to blame Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for all the wars of the Middle East. They found a new opening for their hobby horse yesterday with an out-of-context snippet from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action,” Rubio told […]
California Democrats view parents as more likely to be abusers than caretakers and, thus, think schools should be able to secretly transition students without their parents’ knowledge. It should not be overlooked that the Supreme Court itself has had to step in to address this insane view. The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a California […]
The Trump administration is framing the killing of cartel leader “El Mencho” as a major victory in the war on drugs. Decades of drug enforcement tells another story. Within hours of El Mencho’s death, affiliates set fires to banks and storefronts and blocked major highways across roughly 20 Mexican states, demonstrating continued operational reach as authorities […]
Iranian drones and missiles have been slamming into cities across the Middle East for three days. Gulf states with some of the best air defense arsenals are discovering the difficulty in dealing with cheap, slow drones arriving in waves. A single THAAD anti-ballistic missile interceptor costs $13 million. The Shahed drone costs roughly $20,000. Ukraine […]
The Constitution clearly grants Congress, not the president, the power to declare war. Thus, most defenders of President Donald Trump’s unauthorized war against Iran point to the 1973 War Powers Resolution and claim the law allows the president to wage a war for 60 days without any congressional approval. Here’s a Republican member of Congress […]
TRUMP, FOREVER WARS, AND IRAQ SYNDROME. For many years in the 1970s, 1980s, and into the 1990s, discussions of the use of U.S. military force suffered from an effect known as Vietnam Syndrome. Many Americans simply could not consider any proposed U.S. military action without seeing visions of a Vietnam-style quagmire in which American troops would […]
With Americans’ utility bills climbing by 21% in just the last three years, President Donald Trump is rightly focused on the affordability crisis and the urgent need for price relief. Solar energy is one of the nation’s lowest-cost and fastest-to-deploy energy resources — that’s why red states and a majority of Republican voters support its […]
Because Iran has previously demonstrated its willingness to close the key trade route through the Strait of Hormuz, some media outlets are speculating that oil prices could soar to $100 a barrel or higher. They argue that this could cause a recession in the United States, which would spread across the global economy. These fears are misplaced. […]
“It’s now illegal for trans people to drive in the state of Kansas.” That’s the bizarre, objectively false claim made by “non-binary” influencer Matt Bernstein, who goes by MattIV online, in a video that has since received 13 million views. He wasn’t alone. Across Instagram, TikTok, X, and other social media platforms, this doomsday rhetoric […]
Hand it to European leaders. They are akin to diplomatic poker players who have mastered the art of demanding a cut of the pot without ever offering up their ante in advance. In both Afghanistan and Iraq, many European states waited in the wings to see which way the war would go, but then demanded […]
It’s been nearly five years since West Virginia became the first state in the nation to adopt a universal education savings account, or ESA program. When the application window for the state’s Hope Scholarship program opens in early March, it will be the first year that every student in the state is eligible for a fully funded account they can use to customize their K-12 […]
If the United States and Israel’s joint military campaign against the Islamic Republic succeeds, it could forever end the threat Iran poses to the U.S. and its allies. But another possible benefit awaits. Operation Epic Fury could lead to an expansion of the Abraham Accords, and with it, a more peaceful Middle East. The Islamic […]
