Vance’s decade-old ‘great regrets’ resurfaces as El-Sayed’s jab at second lady comes back to bite him

State Department blasts back at ‘rogue judge’ who overturned aggressive visa crackdown

The State Department blasted a "rogue judge" who vacated Marco Rubio's immigrant visa freeze on 75 countries as an exercise in Orwellian logic.

The stalemate increasingly suits Trump over Iran

Albeit frustrated that Iran hasn’t negotiated an end to the war, President Donald Trump increasingly believes that the United States has assumed the initiative over the Islamic Republic. In a social media post on Monday, Trump asserted that “IRAN IS COMPLETELY COLLAPSING!!!” Trump also told Fox News last week that Iran needs to “put up […]

We keep finding CTE in young brains, but sending them back on the field anyway

With the NFL preseason in full swing, I can’t help thinking about the incremental neurological damage that’s being inflicted on the players with each vicious tackle and violent collision. The damage — chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the degenerative brain disease better known as CTE — has often been decades in the making. Chris Nowinski, the former […]

Raising rates won’t fix the energy shock — it just makes workers pay twice

History should be the Federal Reserve’s best teacher in September. It has already shown what happens when central banks answer an energy shock with higher interest rates: employment weakens, investment retreats, and policymakers eventually reverse course after families and businesses have absorbed unnecessary damage. The Fed can learn that lesson now, or make working Americans […]

Jordan’s China trip isn’t a loyalty test. It’s a receipt

King Abdullah II is in Beijing this week, his first visit to China since 2015. The instinct in Washington will be to treat that as a warning sign: a treaty ally’s king courting Xi Jinping, right as commentators reach for words like “hedge” and “pivot.” The honest answer to whether Washington should care is: a […]

Yes, men are allowed to opine about Lindsay Clancy. If not, then why did she hire a male attorney?

Lindsay Clancy‘s supporters want to stifle men’s opinions about a mother allegedly murdering her children. The trial has generated a lot of opinions in the nation’s political discourse, but none of them are welcomed by men who want accountability for Clancy’s alleged filicide. Many of her supporters have cited in gatherings, demonstrations, social media posts, […]

Want to protect Pakistan’s Christians? Stand up for an imprisoned Muslim leader

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan’s health has become the latest flashpoint surrounding his more than three years in prison. After months of concerns over his health and repeated disputes over access to medical care, Pakistan’s Supreme Court finally ordered on August 18 that Khan be taken to a hospital for medical evaluation. The circumstances […]

Blame Uncle Sam for US megafires that turn money and jobs into ashes

Smokey, a cartoon bear in a ranger hat, has told generations of Americans that "Only you can prevent forest fires." But that overlooks the...

Congress killed surprise bills — or did it? The $15 billion workaround raising your premiums

Nearly six years ago, Congress and President Donald Trump came together to enact one of the most significant bipartisan healthcare reforms in recent memory. The No Surprises Act ended one of the most abusive practices in American healthcare by protecting patients from surprise medical bills. Today, however, a new crisis has emerged. Recent media investigations […]

Anti-vaping hysteria keeps smokers hooked. Trump’s FDA is (finally) embracing reality

As a physician and former 11-term member of Congress who focused on health policy, I have devoted my career to advancing health for Americans. The most persistent health issue I have encountered was reducing smoking rates. Even today, smoking is still the leading preventable cause of disease. The good news is that we now have […]

Hamas killed the two-state solution. Here’s the only path forward for Israel

Middle East peace remains trapped in outdated thinking, paralyzed by decades of diplomatic insistence on a traditional two-state (two-country) solution. Yet, the brutal trajectory of recent history proves that separation-based frameworks are entirely dead. In 2021, I published an article in the Jerusalem Post outlining an alternative path proposing a federalized Israeli-Palestinian Union. This model […]

DeSantis, Cruz, and Youngkin just blew their first 2028 test in Michigan

Michigan Republicans gathered Saturday to complete the party’s statewide ticket. Some 2,000 delegates picked state Rep. Jay DeBoyer, gubernatorial nominee John James’ choice for lieutenant governor; Macomb County Clerk Anthony Forlini for secretary of state; Eaton County Prosecuting Attorney Doug Lloyd for attorney general; and nominees for the Michigan Supreme Court and other lesser offices […]

The West’s favorite Iranian ‘opposition’ is loved by everyone except Iranians

A common misconception is that the Mojahedin-e Khalgh Organization (MEK), led by Maryam Rajavi, can bring about an ideal transformation in Iran’s political landscape. However, this is deeply flawed, as it is neither compatible with Iran’s social fabric nor does the group fundamentally possess the requisite intellectual foundation and popularity to achieve this. This mistake […]

Democrats need to offer alternatives rather than just partisan opposition to Iran war

During World War II, when America was confronting fascist regimes hell-bent on exporting their murderous ideologies, Republicans united behind Democrats to form a joint front. They did so even though many Republicans — especially from the nativist wing — were upset with President Franklin Roosevelt’s sanctions on Japan, which the small “Blame America First” crowd […]

Trump is setting himself up to fail in Iran for the same reason he won in Venezuela

Three recent major geopolitical confrontations teach a consistent lesson: overwhelming military power alone cannot produce the desired political outcome. Ukraine, Venezuela, and Iran differ vastly in culture, geography, and strategy, but together they illustrate an enduring rule of statecraft: If you intend to force fundamental change on an adversary, you must know how to engage […]
