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.

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.
