The United States doesn’t need a museum that apologizes for existing. That’s the real argument buried inside the White House’s new 162-page report on the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, and it’s one worth making loudly. Released July 4 under the title “Saving America’s Story,” the report accuses the museum of “ideological capture” and […]

Among the several ongoing conflicts in Nigeria, Western attention has turned especially to fatal clashes between Muslim-majority Fulani herdsmen and Christian-majority farmers. The issue has captivated the White House: President Donald Trump threatened in November that if “the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians,” the United States would “go into that now […]

Let’s separate the facts from the fiction on foreign money in U.S. politics. According to the Federal Election Commission, federal law prohibits foreign nationals from directly or indirectly making any contributions or donations in association with, or covering any expenditures or disbursements related to, any U.S. federal, state, or local election. This prohibition includes any […]

Doomsaying is a terrible basis for public policy. Still, some of America’s top AI leaders are deploying that exact sort of rhetoric. Anthropic’s Dario Amodei has repeatedly warned about the dangers of open-source AI, anointing himself as our generation’s cautionary priest on AI, despite leading a leading frontier lab seeking an initial public offering valuation […]

For 23 years, I served in the United States Army. During that time, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I carried that oath through multiple assignments, combat service, and the sacrifices that ultimately earned me the Purple Heart. Although I am […]

The U.S. State Department and international diplomats cling to the dangerous fiction that Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council is legitimate. Foreign envoys treat its chairman, Rashad al Alimi, as a counterterrorism partner. In reality, this character is an expatriate figurehead who controls no real territory and lives in hiding in Saudi Arabia. He is Yemen’s Edmundo […]

A jury pool that decides guilt by zip code isn’t dispensing justice. It’s picking a side. That’s the problem Washington’s U.S. Attorney’s Office faces right now, and it’s bigger than one sandwich. Sean Dunn threw a sub sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection officer in August 2025. It’s on video. He confessed at the […]

Americans are being told that so-called “democratic socialism” is simply the humane politics of Scandinavia brought home: generous healthcare, affordable education, strong worker protections, and a society that leaves no one behind. But that slogan obscures a crucial distinction. There is a world of difference between the social democracies of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and […]

I am not a lobbyist, and I am not in industrial farming. I am a mom, and I lead an organization of mothers. So, when I tell you that one of the most consequential fights in this year’s Farm Bill could devastate American families, I want you to know exactly where I’m standing. Lawmakers drafting […]

“Whatever it takes.” Those were President Donald Trump‘s words when speaking about how America must lead the world in artificial intelligence. He was absolutely right. AI will help determine who leads the global economy, develop the next generation of scientific breakthroughs, and set the technological standards the rest of the world follows. The United States has every […]

On Monday afternoon, the United States became the guardian of the Strait of Hormuz. By Tuesday morning, it was an investor. The third day is still ahead of us. The sequence is worth stating plainly, because it will be forgotten by the weekend. On July 13, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. would henceforth […]
