ILLNESS, DEATH, AND TURMOIL CHANGE FACE OF GOP SENATE. One of the colder aspects of life in Washington politics is that the death of an important person often results, before much grieving is done, in a frenzy of speculation about who will get the unfortunate important person’s job. So it is with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), […]

Spain’s socialist government has, in defiance of the Council of State’s objections, the will of its people, and any modicum of better judgment, proceeded with its plan to grant amnesty to what may be as many as 1.2 million migrants. Amid the clamoring over the supposed “demise of Spain,” it’s worth seeing if we cannot […]

President Donald Trump’s second term, characterized by shock-and-awe military activity, has been astonishing in its effectiveness and consistency. Critics are beginning to notice that, behind the scenes, some of his supposedly loyal military leaders have minds of their own — something the ancient Greeks warned could lead to disastrous consequences. Trump’s foreign policy focus has […]

Rep. Ro Khanna’s (D-CA) detainment stunt only proves that Democrats desperate to become the party’s presidential nominee in 2028 are going to embrace increasingly ridiculous stunts, likely leaning into the villainization of Israel. Khanna made a visit to a military zone in the West Bank without the clearance of the Israeli government, knowing he could […]

Iran reportedly sought to assassinate President Donald Trump on Air Force One last week, ahead of the Butler, Pennsylvania, shooting anniversary. The regime’s push to kill the commander in chief has seemingly intensified since Trump declared the memorandum of understanding “over.” One might ask: Why would Iran want to kill Trump now? The answer might […]

The Israeli government fell into a trap set by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) during his visit to the West Bank last week. Khanna wanted a controversy via which to boost his anti-Israel credentials with the Democratic Party base. He wants to boost his prospects in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary. Unfortunately, Khanna got what he […]

In exchange for a few hundred dollars, airlines give you a few cubic feet that are yours while they whisk you across the country or across the world. Airlines also give you a special little button with which you can increase your cubic footage by a tiny bit and gain some comfort. It doesn’t cost […]

Georgia Republicans made their choice last month. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) won the GOP nomination to take on Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), and almost immediately, the all-too-familiar narrative took hold: Ossoff has the money, Republicans are behind, and Georgia is simply too expensive to compete. That story is easy. It is also incomplete. Fundraising totals […]

On July 5th, I was reading the digital version of the New York Times as I do every morning, and noted that its editors had chosen to place at the top of the first page the story written by Abdi Latif Dahir titled, “As Iran’s Patriarch is Mourned, Glimpses of a Changing Tehran.” I had […]

“The world needs to see this with its own eyes.” Those were the words President Donald Trump’s Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee shared with me as we walked through Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem.  At first, I thought he was speaking about Israel broadly. By the end of our visit, I realized he was talking […]

The Democratic establishment and the major news media finally admitted last week that their Senate nominee in Maine, a self-described “oysterman” named Graham Platner, is a total dirtbag. It should be unnerving that it took so long for Democrats and the major media to admit this. It was obvious to any close observer what sort […]

On June 10, House GOP Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-MI) looked Loudoun County Schools Superintendent Aaron Spence in the eye at a congressional hearing and called him weak, pathetic, and a man she was grateful never taught her children — after his district suspended boys for complaining about a locker room filming incident rather than […]
