President Donald Trump has made a foolish decision to suspend certain Russia-focused activities by the U.S. military’s Cyber Command. Cyber Command is responsible for all military cyber operations in the United States. As first reported by the Record, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Command to “stand down from all planning against Russia, including […]
For decades, I served this nation in uniform, rising through the ranks to witness firsthand the extraordinary capabilities, and the often-maddening inefficiencies, of our military-industrial complex. I saw the courage and ingenuity of our troops, but I also saw waste on a scale that defies comprehension, nowhere more glaringly than in the Defense Department’s budgeting […]
Since I was rooting for A Real Pain to win some Oscars, I was thoroughly pleased with how adorable and real Kieran Culkin’s acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor was. My family has four kids, and I fully support Culkin in his goal of celebrating his Oscar win by having two more. But the film […]
When Kieran Culkin won the Oscar for best supporting actor, he reached the pinnacle of his profession. It was a crowning achievement, the kind of moment many actors dream about but few ever experience. Onstage, basking in the thrill of well-earned success, Culkin had the entertainment world at his feet. But instead of dwelling on […]
When a new president takes office, he gets to determine who will head the departments in and around the executive branch. However, people within the departments are often holdovers from previous administrations and may be hostile to the current president’s agenda. Elon Musk summed it up in a Feb. 28 post on X. “Imagine if […]
Higher education in the United States is under fire, and much of it is deserved. News of its illiberal and divisive diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, as well as pedagogy and student activism, has made anything DEI or DEI-adjacent a target. While DEI looks innocuous and indeed welcoming in principle, in practice, it often entails […]
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is back on the scene, and he hopes everyone forgot about the scandals that drove him out of office. Cuomo launched his long-rumored run for New York City mayor on Saturday. Capitalizing on the unpopularity of current Mayor Eric Adams, Cuomo declared that the city is in dire straits […]
As a college professor, I have the chance to visit numerous college campuses nationwide and meet thousands of undergraduates every year, and I’ve noticed there has been a considerable change among undergraduates since the November election. In the wake of President Donald Trump’s victory, there is less patience for cancel culture on campuses. Whereas students […]
Assaults. Burglaries. Robberies. Theft. Murders. Growing up in an urban community in Philadelphia, I witnessed all of these. I have also been a victim of many of them, as have my friends and members of my immediate family. Unfortunately, they are the crimes that residents of the nation’s biggest cities regularly experience. Media reports cover these […]
Over the past 15 years, the birth rate in the United States has dropped from 2.1 births per woman to 1.66, well below the birth rate needed to keep the population stable. This trend needs to be reversed. President Donald Trump thinks making in vitro fertilization more accessible could help achieve this goal, and his […]
FOR ONE LEADING DEMOCRAT, TRUMP PARANOIA, MUSK PARANOIA, AND PUTIN PARANOIA MERGE INTO ONE. Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is one of the Democrats urging his party to resist President Donald Trump more aggressively across a broad range of issues. “Mr. Murphy has seemed to be everywhere, all at once, since Inauguration Day,” the New York […]
Vladimir Putin was the only winner in last week’s Oval Office grudge match between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump harmed U.S. national security by ignoring our profound, long-standing interest in European stability, which we learned through the 20th Century’s two hot world wars and one Cold War. Ensuring our enemies do not […]
