Sunday presents another test for both Belgium and Maximus Textoris Pulcher, the rescue cat that Prime Minister Bart De Wever hoped would become the 2026 successor to Paul the...
Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Sunday that the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz is returning to normal, even as Iran threatened to close the critical waterway again because of Israeli strikes on Lebanon.
One of the most prominent spreaders of anti-Zionist propaganda and misinformation about international law is Mayor Mamdani, author Natasha Hausdorff writes.
Washington made a bet. Force hospitals to post their prices, the theory went, and a real market would form and pull costs down. Five years on, the files are posted. The market never formed. Prices never fell. The disclosed data now run to enormous scale. Yet when researchers examined the posted files, they could not […]
The sacred rituals of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints were once as secretive as the Skull and Bones. White-shirted missionaries knocked down doors across the Third World, Book of Mormon in hand, but the logistics of what came later were largely kept a mystery to outsiders. Closed-door “endowments” with hands appearing behind […]
The Gaza war may have ended, but the genocide libel marches on. That libel, the false accusation that Israel and Diaspora Jews perpetrate genocide against others, allows anti-Zionists to invert the Holocaust, erasing Jews’ Holocaust victimhood and bestowing it upon Palestinians. And given this libel’s ubiquity, it’s worth understanding the libel’s origins, why it was […]

Though my wife is no Jezebel, and I rule no land but my own suburban […]

My father didn’t yell. He didn’t come in hot. He didn’t throw things. He was quiet. And that calm, yet tense demeanor paired with a look of disapproval was the closest I ever felt to awaiting a prison sentence. He looked at me the way a man looks at something he built and is not […]
My father, Jimmy Lai, was born in mainland China to a well-to-do family shortly before the communists came to power. When they did, he and his family became the enemy of the people. His father fled to Hong Kong in search of better opportunities, leaving his family to fend for themselves. Meanwhile, my grandmother was […]

“Benjamin,” a half-naked Mrs. Robinson insists midway through the classic 1967 film The Graduate, “I am not trying to seduce you.” But, mere seconds later, she asks, “Would you like me to seduce you?” In Seductive AI, the University of Tennessee law professor and blogging pioneer Glenn Harlan Reynolds paints artificial intelligence as a modern-day […]
