Supposedly, through happy coincidence, Our Savior agrees with Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico about important planks of his party's platform circa 2026.
President Donald Trump has restored Title IX to its proper role in education, but it will always remain one Democratic president away from being sabotaged once again. The Department of Education reversed the changes to Title IX adopted by the Biden administration, which had been blocked by the courts. The Trump administration has returned Title […]
It remains unclear what happened with the arrest of five men outside a U.S. Air Force base in the United Kingdom late Saturday. We do know that there has been a terrorist plot targeting RAF Fairford since at least early September. Still, some observers have theorized that the men may have simply been fuel thieves […]
Colin Kaepernick’s recent remarks about comparing the NFL draft combine to the slave trade generated a lot of responses last week, many of them critical of the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback. Obviously, to any sane, normal, logical, and rational person, comparing the horrific institution of slavery to the billion-dollar athletic empire that is the […]
The hit Israeli thriller Fauda — from creators Lior Raz, who also plays its endearing and reckless Rambo lead, Doron, and Avi Issacharoff — has long endeavored to depict Israel’s perennial conflict with its Palestinian neighbors with both accuracy and Hollywood grip. Earlier seasons indulged a more nuanced narrative, proffering glimpses into the deluge of […]
On Sept. 1, the House voted 370 to 48 to fund the federal government through Dec. 11, a stopgap the Senate had already cleared 90 to 6 three weeks earlier. Twenty-nine Democrats and 19 Republicans voted no. Everyone else called it done. Nobody called it a budget, because it isn’t one. A continuing resolution locks […]

For the first time in nearly a quarter of a century, I am experiencing a deeply unfamiliar sensation. An election cycle is reaching its peak, but my name is not on the ballot. As a longtime resident of Maryland, I spent 24 straight years down in the political arena. My name was a fixture on […]
In education, accountability is usually measured by what governments require schools to do: administer tests, file reports, meet compliance standards, and undergo periodic reviews and audits. Those tools have a place, but they all share one limitation. They take years to reveal that a child is in the wrong educational environment. Parents whose child is […]
In the span of a few months, advanced AI systems from three leading American laboratories crossed the boundaries of safety tests and affected real systems. Google’s Gemini accessed systems at three companies. An Anthropic model published malicious code that reached 15 outside systems. And as revealed last week, these are creating international incidents, with OpenAI’s […]
When Europe’s leaders gathered in Yerevan, Armenia, in May, the sharpest words about Europe’s view of the South Caucasus came from a leader who was not in the room. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, speaking by video link from Baku, used his allotted time at the European Political Community summit to rebuke the European Parliament for […]
Congress is about to approve millions in federal spending that will teeter on the edge of compromising decades of scientific progress. S. 2898, the Dennis John Benigno Traumatic Brain Injury Program Reauthorization Act, requires the study of long-term effects of traumatic brain injury, or TBI, but its current draft undermines the very science it intends […]
On Sept. 23, a brigadier general advising the Houthi-run Defense Ministry gave an interview to Agence France-Presse and described the war’s architecture better than most analysts have. “The militias and Iran form one alliance and one body,” Abed Mohammed al Thawr said. There is “joint coordination and cooperation between us, Iran and Lebanon, represented by […]
