A C-17 Globemaster left Joint Base Andrews on Aug. 25, routed by way of Riga, Latvia, and landed in Moscow. CIA Director John Ratcliffe was aboard and spent about eight hours there. The Kremlin says he did not meet Russian President Vladimir Putin. President Donald Trump called the trip semi-routine. What Ratcliffe carried there is […]
The problem Democrats have when trying to address crime is that their own governance makes it impossible to execute their plans. San Francisco Mayor London Breed has been one of the leading Democratic city officials in focusing on crime. Her problem is that her city is in California, which is run by a Democratic supermajority […]
Sometimes people accidentally make good points while believing they are making the opposite point. Right before the eclipse, liberal activist David Pepper asked an easy-to-answer question whose answer is in fact informative — even if Pepper thought it was a stumper. Very few arguments in the past few years have been as annoying and smug […]
For all the “columnists who are absolutely befuddled that Americans rate the economy -- and President Biden’s economic record -- so poorly,” National Review’s...
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has a tough job, a divided caucus, and a busy schedule. But Johnson should be able to make time to meet with the closest U.S. allies. He is failing to do so. Last month, Johnson failed to meet with Latvia’s visiting prime minister even though Latvia requested just such a […]
U.S. citizens on all sides are starting to get fed up with the proxy war on terrorism through Israel. Last year on Oct. 7, the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas invaded Israel’s southern border and slaughtered 1,200 civilians. Radical groups across American universities quickly rose to the defense and support of the Palestinians once it became […]
Nothing better embodies how out of touch Democrats are than their boasting about how safe they are with their taxpayer-funded security while dismissing most people’s concerns about crime. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg went on MSNBC to dismiss people’s concerns about crime as just a narrative being pushed by conservatives. “We need to talk about the […]
Spending time at Washington Dulles International Airport is torturous. As with its ludicrously archaic people movers, the airport provides a disgraceful first impression of Washington, D.C. Still, at least the Chinese intelligence services are especially displeased with the airport. China’s Embassy to Washington railed on Monday that U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, and presumably […]
As he campaigns for a second term, President Joe Biden is working as hard as he can to shed his “Scranton Joe” persona and embrace the elite classes that bankroll his candidacy by adopting policies that punish the working class. On Monday, Biden announced that his administration is implementing yet another plan to cancel federally […]
If the overspending of the federal government is not stopped soon, America may collapse. Luckily, a historic solution is on its way. The national debt is skyrocketing, and inflation remains incredibly high. The central government throws money that it does not have into various costly programs, causing interest rates to rise. Eventually, this spending will […]
MICHAEL COHEN, STAR WITNESS. If all goes as scheduled, former President Donald Trump’s trial will begin next Monday. It stems from the indictment by the elected Democratic district attorney of Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, and it is what the New York Times calls a “paperwork” case — that is, it concerns business records, in this instance records […]
The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, one of college sports’ governing bodies, announced this week that it would not allow male-bodied athletes to compete in women’s sports, pointing to the importance of “fair and safe competition for all student-athletes.” The decision is a welcome relief in a society that refuses to see sense on this […]
