Former Republican Rep. Joe Walsh (Ill.) on Friday decried the Trump administration’s immigration raids that were carried out throughout the Christmas holiday. “I did my best yesterday to turn off the news from Christmas Eve on and not think about anything and not tweet anything,” Walsh, a frequent critic of President Trump who became a...
An alleged victim of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Friday shared concerns about the Justice Department (DOJ) blowing past the congressionally mandated deadline to release all files tied to the late financier’s estate. “It still continues to be extremely upsetting. And I, like, have chills in my body thinking like, are they ever going...
Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell on Friday sent a letter to jazz drummer Chuck Redd denouncing his decision to cancel a planned show at the venue after President Trump's name was added to the building. "Your dismal ticket sales and lack of donor support, combined with your last-minute cancellation has cost us considerably. This is...
Through its admitted inability (or unadmitted unwillingness) to protect Israeli soccer fans from being attacked by violent antisemites, the United Kingdom is announcing to the world that it is no longer a functioning first-world nation. Aston Villa is set to play Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League, an annual soccer competition between top European […]
From indie filmmaker Jonah Feingold comes 31 Candles, a low-budget coming-of-age romantic comedy driven by sincere, relatable characters and a refreshingly thoughtful screenplay. Feingold casts himself as Leo Kadner, a 30-year-old Jewish filmmaker whose career has thus far amounted to directing saccharine Christmas movies stuffed with shameless product placement courtesy of overbearing studio executives. He is […]
After two long years, the war in Gaza is over — for now.

Soccer, more appropriately named football (soccer players actually use their feet), is very important to the English people and the United Kingdom at large.

A debate erupted on X this week after some Republicans, most notably the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh, pushed the idea that the Right must unite in order to win. “The Right doesn’t stick together,” Walsh posted. “That’s our biggest problem by far. Conservatives are quick to denounce each other, jump on dogpiles, disavow, attack their […]
A teenager sits in her room, illuminated by her phone, well past her bedtime, even though she has school in the morning. The thing capturing her attention? Not a new video game. Not “brain rot” social media content. Not even friends from school. Rather, an AI companion, a chatbot designed to mimic affection, affirmation, and […]
A leftist logo depicts a clumsily drawn crown with a red cross through it. It looks like a demand for a ban on the joke coronet worn by the comedic monarch in Burger King ads. The words accompanying the logo are “No Kings.” The No Kings campaign is, however, not a commercial and is the […]
The European Union is unveiling a defense roadmap to strengthen Europe’s capacity to deter, detect, and counter aerial drone incursions by Russia.

Catholics of a certain age may have an image of the young priest, maybe a Jesuit, who introduced himself not as Father O’Reilly but as “Kevin.” Father Kevin — “please, just Kevin” — is the one who introduced the guitar mass when he got his own parish. That young priest is now old, and the […]
Over the past decade, Democrats have made fighting against “institutional racism” among their highest priorities. But Democrats like institutional racism when it serves them, especially when it lets them segregate voters by race when creating congressional districts. The current Supreme Court term is highlighted by a redistricting case, Louisiana v. Callais, which centers on race-based […]
