DERRY TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania — The mid-morning sun danced cleanly off the calm waters of Keystone Lake, casting a bright sheen over a scene that feels entirely unstuck from time. Along the shoreline, kayakers glide across the glass-like water. Fishermen sit quietly by the causeway, casting lines in hope of a bite. Under the shade of […]
The widespread use of body cameras neutered anti-police sentiment and the Black Lives Matter movement. It should be a top priority of the Trump administration to fit all Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers with body cameras quickly, so as to do the same to the “Abolish ICE” movement. The ICE shooting in Houston was quickly […]
Dua Lipa is a singer and songwriter based in London, and now she has propped up a library. I think that’s great. The world needs more book-peddlers, and everyone should read more books. Lipa is marketing her library as a repository of “banned books,” which sounds transgressive and edgy until you see her list. Out […]

Trump further announced the reintroduction of a blockade on vessels transiting Iranian ports. On Tuesday, Trump said he would replace the toll with new […]
Barack Obama-appointed Judge William Orrick has blocked the Trump administration from cutting off federal grants to cities that use discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion...
When people think about threats to their food supply, they picture drought and disease impacting crops and livestock. Few think about sulfur and geopolitics. However, this unassuming yellow element is an essential ingredient in the phosphate fertilizer that every farmer in the country depends on. It has quietly become the latest front in China’s campaign […]
On Monday, the United Kingdom took one of the most consequential steps in its policy toward the Iranian regime by designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. The decision criminalizes membership in, support for, or public promotion of the Guard in Britain and reflects a fundamental reassessment of the threat posed by […]
America does not suffer from a shortage of economic policies. It suffers from the absence of a unifying long-term economic doctrine that survives changes in administration and organizes the nation’s economic policies around a single strategic objective: expanding America’s productive capacity. Without that doctrine, America risks making good individual policy decisions without achieving a great […]
Mario Savio climbed on a police car in Sproul Plaza in December 1964 and told 3,000 Berkeley students to put their bodies on the gears of the university machine until it stopped. The Free Speech Movement he launched that fall forced Berkeley to guarantee students the right to political activity on campus. Berkeley became the […]
Tucker Carlson showed exactly where his priorities lie over the past few days. While Sen. Lindsey Graham, a true giant in the Senate for more than 23 years, died suddenly after a brief illness, the circumstances of which the FBI is investigating, Carlson stayed silent. Instead, he recently rushed to amplify Rep. Ro Khanna’s (D-CA) […]
Nothing much has changed with the New York Times over the years. In the 1930s, thanks to Walter Duranty, the so-called “newspaper of record” was effectively cheerleading for Joseph Stalin’s communism. Today, in Jia Lynn Yang’s “How American Socialism Changed, and Stormed the Democratic Party,” it displays a similar sympathy for a modernized version of […]
After an unseasonably, but not unprecedented, warm winter, the West is bone dry, water supplies are dangerously low, and wildfire risk is fearfully high. Parts of Colorado and Utah are infernos that, despite Herculean efforts and the deaths of three young firefighters, are not contained. Thank God, these fires are not as bad as those […]
There is a street in Tbilisi named after George W. Bush. Count the world’s capitals with a street named for an American president. It will not take you long. For years, Georgia was the largest non-NATO contributor of troops in Afghanistan. For years, International Republican Institute polling found roughly three-quarters of Georgians backing a pro-Western […]
