President Trump drew a stark line Tuesday between his Iran nuclear agreement and his predecessor's, calling former President Barack Obama's 2015 deal "a road to a nuclear weapon" and insisting his own agreement leaves no such opening, warning Iran that any attempt to develop, buy or acquire a nuclear weapon will bring catastrophic retaliation.
The FBI said five people have been arrested in connection with a plot to target Sunday's UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House with explosive-laden drones.
President Trump said Tuesday the U.S. has no obligation to invest money in Iran as part of its peace memorandum, and "the only thing" he cares about is preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
New York is about to erase “mother” and “father” from state law. Justifiable outrage has erupted across the Right. But if you’re surprised, you weren’t paying attention.

Sports are disappearing behind subscription […]
The New Republic and similar outlets continue blaming Republicans for tanking the economy. The historical record shows a clear, repeated pattern. During the 2008 mortgage crisis, Democrat-led pressure that began in the 1990s under Janet Reno and President Bill Clinton’s Justice Department forced banks to loosen lending standards in the name of equity. When the […]
The Food and Drug Administration recently announced that, for the first time in more than 20 years, it will expand the range of permitted sunscreen options available to consumers this summer.

Indeed, the People’s […]
On May 28 in New York, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney declared that a strong Canada “will help make America great again.” His announcement came at a high-stakes moment, with China’s foreign minister arriving in Ottawa to build out the road map for the Canada-China “strategic partnership” and Minister Dominic Leblanc heading to Washington in […]
When disaster strikes, millions of people rely on the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help their communities rebuild. Nowhere is that partnership more critical than in rural America, where electric cooperatives are often on the front lines restoring power in some of the hardest-hit, hardest-to-reach areas. America’s not-for-profit electric cooperatives serve some of the nation’s […]
The Navy needs a leader. Now. It needs someone committed to fixing the unglamorous, boring issues preventing the service from accomplishing its core objectives.

The Leire Diez affair reveals the architecture. Spanish Civil Guard investigators seized a blue notebook containing almost 100 pages of names, schemes, judges, prosecutors, and investigative targets. The alleged […]
