Republicans are gathering in Dallas on Wednesday for a highly unusual midterm convention, a "Trump-a-Palooza" that will put President Donald Trump at the center of this fall's midterm elections - whether the candidates running like it or not.
An Indiana prosecutor will not pursue criminal charges against the woman whose false child welfare tip led authorities to bar Pete Buttigieg from being alone with his 4-year-old twins for about 24 hours in June, citing her documented history of alcoholism and mental illness.
At 8:46 on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 11 struck the north face of 1 World Trade Center. The plane’s impact sheared through the tower’s core, collapsing the stairwells and cutting the upper floors off from any route down. Five floors above the crash zone, on 101 through 105, sat the […]
Republicans kick off a gathering on Wednesday in Dallas billed by the Republican National Committee as the party’s first-ever midterm convention. There is just one problem: No matter how often the RNC says it, it is not true. This is not a convention of the whole Republican Party. It is what President Donald Trump’s own […]
Erick Erickson is a smart, honest conservative who has successfully navigated the Trump era with his integrity intact. I find myself agreeing with him 90%-95% of the time. Which is why I found his reaction to the recent draft childcare regulations so discouraging: Before I explain why this sentiment is so disappointing, let’s review what […]
If an Israeli attacks an innocent Palestinian, arrest him. Prosecute him. Punish him. But do not make Jews everywhere answer for him. Do not use his crime to indict more than half a million Israelis living in Judea and Samaria, the State of Israel, Zionism, or Jews around the world. That distinction should be obvious. […]
With mail-in ballots soon hitting mailboxes in some states, Americans are contemplating their choices this election. A top concern among voters is, as always, the economy. The question voters should consider here is: Which party’s vision creates the conditions for real prosperity and for pursuing the American dream? This midterm election cycle will determine control […]
As the son of a woman from Vienna who spent years 11 through 20 of her life in hiding, in prison, in Auschwitz, and finally making ammunition as a slave in Germany before being liberated by young Americans who sacrificed to free her, I am most amazed at the pompous audacity of today’s antisemites. Modern-day […]
On the night of Aug. 4, an employee at Leipzig/Halle Airport in eastern Germany found a drone carrying an explosive device inside the secured cargo area, beside the southern runway. It was sitting next to an Antonov Airlines cargo aircraft — the Ukrainian carrier that flies military supplies. Federal police brought in a bomb-disposal robot […]
On July 27, a regulation took effect in Brussels whose only real purpose was to postpone a different European law due to apply six days later. The law being postponed is the AI Act, passed in 2024 and sold to the world as the first comprehensive rulebook for artificial intelligence. The rescue is Regulation (EU) […]
ARE MIDTERM RESULTS ALREADY BAKED IN THE CAKE? President Donald Trump will gather Republicans in a rare midterm convention starting Wednesday in Dallas. It’s a chance, GOP organizers hope, to fire up voters and reset a campaign in which Republicans appear to be trailing in several key races. It’s reasonable that Republicans would want to do […]
The New York Times and The Washington Post recently published investigations built on some 150 leaked documents, photographs, and intercepted messages from inside the Sudanese Armed Forces. The picture is chilling: a program, launched in mid-2024, to build chlorine bombs; a stockpile of roughly 290 munitions at Merowe air base; indications that more than 100 […]
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) is entitled to his political conclusions. He isn’t entitled to his own version of history. When history complicates the argument, Americans deserve the complicated history — not just the convenient half. That matters because some of Lieu’s most effective arguments are not built on outright falsehoods. Sometimes the facts are true. […]
The 2023 military coup in Gabon ended more than 50 years of Bongo family rule. After years of corruption and disputed elections, the coup gave the Gabonese people hope that they could begin a new chapter. The political transition also created an opportunity to boost U.S. engagement with the country where China has established a […]
