Before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could make Israel’s case to the United Nations on Thursday, scores of diplomats got up and left. They did not walk out after hearing his defense of Israel’s conduct in Gaza. They walked out before hearing it. The timing was almost too perfect. For nearly three years, a familiar […]
The U.N. General Assembly 81 arrived in New York under the theme of restoring trust and managing transformation. By the opening of the General Debate, the institution’s own president had offered a sharper diagnosis. Speaking about artificial intelligence, Khalilur Rahman warned that the United Nations was falling further behind each day. That may have been […]
My wife and I moved from New York City to Burlington, Vermont, approximately 11 years ago for her medical residency. We’re raising two kids in a beautiful city where you could once leave your doors unlocked. But in June 2020, during the defund-the-police movement and while we were experiencing an influx of new people, the […]
Kallie Humphries is a three-time Olympic gold medalist who went through multiple rounds of fertility treatments before her son was born. It was the culmination of her lifelong wish to become a mother, a journey that ultimately led to $70,000 in medical expenses, more than three times what she had anticipated it would cost. Humphries’ […]
Americans know how much they pay in income, property, and sales taxes. When they receive a paycheck, it is broken down to show exactly how much goes toward Social Security, Medicare, and other taxes. While these costs are transparent, what people don’t see and can’t easily keep track of is how much they pay each […]
Former NFL players Colin Kaepernick and Ryan Clark can’t stop talking about slavery and racism. It’s the latest race-baiting sermon by two of the most divisive, left-wing, bigoted names in professional sports. Never in the history of the world have two men who owe their current socio-economic status, fame, and fortune to a professional sports […]
In the south transept of Westminster Abbey, touched by the jeweled light of a rose window, is Poets’ Corner. Geoffrey Chaucer was buried here in 1400 — not because he wrote The Canterbury Tales, but because he was a royal official. Two centuries later, the great Elizabethan poet Edmund Spenser asked to be interred next […]
“I hope your venue gets firebombed.” That’s a real comment from a leftist reacting to the Massachusetts lesbian bar, Last Ditch Bar and Arts Venue, dropping its mask mandate — for just one night per week — in an effort to increase business. Here’s another: “People like you kill disabled people in the name of […]
Fiction frequently anticipates friction. Fauda’s fifth season treats the French-Hamas nexus in Marseille as an operational fact, mirroring a grim reality. This TV show previously presaged the Oct. 7, 2023, tunnel raid — a scenario its own writers initially discarded as too far-fetched for television. My recent analysis for these pages exposed this exact channel: […]
On Tuesday, at U.N. headquarters, President Donald Trump and the leaders of Denmark and Greenland signed a security agreement. Trump says it gives Washington “permanent control over security, and all other needs” in Greenland, and calls it an “Infinite Life” agreement. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says the agreement recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity […]
They say, “If you have to ask how much it costs, you can’t afford it.” But when it comes to defending our values, our society, and our way of life, if all you care about is how much it costs, then you don’t deserve it. Now come the headlines that place the cost of the […]
I supported President Donald Trump because I believe he understands that people need real food instead of the junk that corporations have been feeding us for decades. His commitment became clear when he nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health and human services secretary. Kennedy’s MAHA agenda provided a plan to address America’s health crisis […]
This year’s United Nations General Assembly in New York City has refocused attention on the chronic and lamentable fact that the international body is sclerotic, corrupt, and almost useless. A Wall Street Journal headline, “World Leaders Nearly All Agree That United Nations is Failing,” put the matter straightforwardly. But those leaders’ complaints referred narrowly to […]
Commercial satellite images show that China has upgraded its naval base in Djibouti nearly a decade after it first opened. Even before enhancing the facility, the Chinese army was already using lasers to blind American military pilots landing at the airstrip they share with the country’s small international airport. China will not allow U.S. ships […]
