Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he’ll impose a 100% tariff on New Yorkers moving to Texas after Election Day amid the city’s heated Cuomo–Mamdani mayoral race.
Virginia's GOP Attorney General Jason Miyares encouraged split-ticket voting with Democrats, highlighting the state's competitive political landscape on Election Day.
The White House called Zohran Mamdani's remarks "irresponsible" after he linked the Trump administration to bomb threats against New Jersey polling places.
Since 1989, October has been recognized as Italian American Heritage and Culture Month in the U.S., stemming from a proclamation issued by President George Bush. The month was established to “celebrate the rich ethnic heritage of Italian-Americans and the many contributions they have made to American culture.” Yet, despite this tradition, now in its fourth […]
The term “antisemitism” is anesthetized, imprecise, and historically obtuse jargon that is meant to obscure evil beliefs. Regrettably, I’ve been using the term to describe hatred toward Jews for decades. For one thing, the term was coined by Jew-baiting German journalist Wilhelm Marr in 1879 to give the age-old bigotry a modern pseudoscientific framing. Outbursts […]
Federal rules and regulations cost the U.S. economy more than $3 trillion each year and dictate nearly every aspect of Americans’ lives — from the food they can eat to the types of cars they can drive. But while Americans can vote out their representatives in Congress for enacting harmful legislation, there is no similar accountability […]
President Donald Trump’s visit to Asia and expected meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the APEC Summit in South Korea on Thursday will be pivotal. While trade and rare-earth exports will dominate headlines, the deeper contest is ideological: democracy versus authoritarianism, conscience versus control. At the center of this struggle is Taiwan, the flashpoint […]
Despite the continued suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, the State Department appears to have begun a quiet effort to move a limited number of Afghans with USRAP cases out of Pakistan. Many Afghan USRAP applicants fled to Pakistan following the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, both to remain safe amid the Taliban’s reprisal campaign and because […]
What happened to the Whigs in the 1850s? And will the same thing happen to today’s Democrats? After the Federalist Party of Alexander Hamilton and John Adams collapsed in the aftermath of the War of 1812, the Whigs arose to replace them as the alternative to the Democratic Party that took its nascent form around […]
President Donald Trump makes Democrats behave unreasonably and fly into overblown rhetoric. That talent, if it can be called such, has been on display since Trump’s decision and fast action to knock down the East Wing of the White House and build a modern ballroom in its place. Former first lady Hillary Clinton accused Trump […]
The Democratic Socialists of America just wrapped up a Hajj to their Mecca: Havana, a city so buried in detritus after decades of communism that it’s a wonder why any politician would want to be associated with it. Comparing photos of the Cuban capital today with those from the 1950s is an anti-socialist campaign ad that writes […]
MASSOUDIEH, LEBANON — The United Nations is like a Hollywood starlet without make-up. From afar, the aura overshines any blemish. Bump into her on the street, however, and the illusion quickly fades away. Idealistic students and activists might embrace the United Nations as a bulwark of principle, but only those inside see the stifling bureaucracy, wasteful spending […]
