For years, it felt like we were enjoying a revolution in the entertainment industry. The meteoric rise of streaming services and the decline of old media empires that followed was celebrated for providing consumers with cheaper, higher-quality content while giving them what they have wanted for decades: the ability to pick and choose their own […]
President Donald Trump’s controversial new U.S. National Security Strategy should be read as a political statement, not as a strategic blueprint. The document devotes most of its attention to Europe. Instead of the usual restrained, bureaucratic language, it presents a stark picture of Europe as a continent struggling with migration, freedoms, and demographic pressure. It […]
Apologists for the Soviet Union frequently claim that it was Josef Stalin’s ostensibly benevolent and virtuous regime that ultimately toppled the Third Reich, winning World War II for the Allies.

In Budapest eight months ago, I heard many hopeful Hungarian conservatives point out that Hungary had risen from the bottom of European birth rates to almost the top. They credited the administration of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who had implemented all sorts of pro-family policies, including lots of cash, accommodations, and tax breaks for parents. TIMOTHY P. CARNEY: […]
ADAM SCHIFF: IF ONLY WE’D PROSECUTED TRUMP EARLIER. The Democratic lawfare campaigns against President Donald Trump — two federal prosecutions, an indictment in Georgia, an indictment and conviction in New York, a damaging lawsuit, also in New York — are still having repercussions today. In some cases, the legal wrangling goes on, while in others, […]
Europe is ramping up its war on free speech by targeting X with fines for not submitting itself to censorship regulations demanded by the European Union.
