As the European Union attempts to export its heavy-handed regulatory bureaucracy across the globe, Chinese President Xi Jinping told it no. These sweeping EU mandates, known as the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, are blatant attempts by failed social engineers in Brussels to regulate companies into oblivion. President Donald […]
The University of Pennsylvania has spent months claiming it is serious about confronting antisemitism, restoring trust, and repairing the damage caused by campus unrest after Oct. 7, 2023. Yet, Penn has apparently now granted tenure to Sukaina Hirji, whose public activism sits at the center of the very crisis the university claims it is trying […]
Gen. George Washington remains in Philadelphia to continue his meetings with the Second Continental Congress. Their focus is on defending New York City and assisting with the struggling situation in Canada. Washington witnesses an emerging development in Congress as Virginia delegates, acting under instructions from the Virginia Convention, present resolutions calling for independence from England. […]
“We fear nothing when we are with God. If we are killed while we are with God, we are blessed, and if we kill while we are with God, we are also blessed.” This is one of Islamic Republic founder Ruhollah Khomeini’s most famous quotes. In Khomeini’s interpretation of jihad, now the Islamic Republic’s interpretation […]
For years, the United States has relied on economic sanctions to constrain Iran’s ballistic missile program, unmanned aerial vehicle production, and support for proxy forces. Iran has adapted rather than collapsed. It has built a decentralized architecture that converts sustained sanctions pressure into a strategic advantage, sustaining military production, financing proxies, and enabling deniable operations […]
If you’re a conservative living in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, Hawaii, or Delaware, the arithmetic is unforgiving. Six states send entirely Democratic delegations to the House, not one Republican among them. Add New Mexico, where President Donald Trump pulled 46% of the 2024 presidential vote yet holds no House seats. Across these enclaves, millions […]
Any stalemate in negotiations to end both Iranian aggression in the Strait of Hormuz and their nuclear program should warrant the resumption of the bombing campaign against Iran. Greater destruction of Iran’s infrastructure may be needed to compel its military and political capitulation. Before the ceasefire, the hyperbolic rhetoric in vogue among the administration’s critics […]
The Court of International Trade issued a 2-1 opinion last week striking down President Donald Trump’s latest tariff scheme under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. The Section 122 tariffs had been imposed shortly after the Supreme Court struck down the president’s “Liberation Day” tariffs in February — tariffs that had already lost […]
The United States may have negotiated a deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran to end the war, but the specifics of the deal are, so far, opaque, with much misinformation circulating. This has led some to claim that the Trump administration’s deal is nothing more than a retread of the Obama administration’s 2015 deal […]
The United States declared several national emergencies targeting its critical mineral supply chain vulnerabilities. Through executive order 14156 and related directives, the Trump administration has framed overreliance on Chinese-dominated supply chains as a direct risk to national security and economic growth. Beijing’s control over both production and processing of key materials critical to defense, coupled […]
As the old adage goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. As geopolitical tensions flare across the Middle East, a recurring question echoes through the international theater: Why haven’t China and Russia come to Iran’s rescue? Tehran increasingly finds itself targeted by Western sanctions and military pressure, yet its powerful northern and eastern […]
Both U.S. and Iranian press suggest a deal is near between Tehran and Washington to end the war. Tasnim News, close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said the regime is demanding the release of the country’s frozen assets as a first step. Nour News, close to the Supreme National Security Council, describes $11 billion […]
