Russia spymaster meets with Cuban, Bolivian, and Brazilian counterparts in Moscow

Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev met with top security officials from Bolivia, Brazil, and Cuba in Moscow on Monday. The meetings signal Russia’s interest in bolstering its anti-American partnerships in Latin America. A particular focus was likely on Russia’s effort to bolster its access to sanctioned Western goods. But a Russian readout […]

Trump again bows to Beijing with pro-TikTok rant

Former President Donald Trump broke with the Republican Party on Monday, once again lamenting legislation that will force China to cede control over the TikTok social media app. TikTok is a key spying and influence tool for the Chinese Communist Party. But newly passed and soon-to-be-signed legislation means that TikTok’s Chinese Communist Party-linked owner, ByteDance, […]

Liberal Media Scream: Historian Meacham says ‘patriotism’ demands Biden win

This week’s Liberal Media Scream is a rare five-screamer featuring a liberal journalist turned “historian” and biographer claiming that voter patriotism demands reelecting President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump. Jon Meacham, the former top editor of Newsweek, said on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, “Patriotism is allegiance to an idea. It’s not […]

The left’s petty protests vs. the right’s productive debates on foreign policy — including Ukraine

Obamas, media, and more feed children’s climate anxiety

For Earth Day last year, executive producers Barack and Michelle Obama released an episode of children’s show Ada Twist, Scientist that addresses climate change. Nine-year-old Ada and her friends are concerned about the planet — and not in a 1970s “reduce, reuse, recycle” way.  Ada is troubled when her older brother, Arthur, announces he’d rather […]

Ukraine and the European Union must adapt their strategies to US aid realities

The new $61 billion U.S. aid package provides Ukraine with a much-needed boost against Russia’s invasion. The package includes air defense, artillery, and long-range rocket-launched missiles. The first Ukrainian pilots are also close to completing their conversion training on F-16 fighter jets. These additive capabilities will bolster Ukraine’s defenses and enable its more effective targeting […]

‘Elite’ colleges are molding a new generation of hateful people

Supposedly “elite” universities are helping create a new, hateful generation of people following the oppressor-oppressed narratives these universities promote. Jewish students at Columbia University are now being provided with security to reach the university’s center for Jewish student life. Hundreds of antisemitic students have been arrested after a “pro-Palestinian” (always read as pro-terrorist) encampment popped […]

At Columbia and beyond, Jews must not hide or apologize

It has now become clear that Jews are no longer safe on American college campuses. In recent days, the big names of academia have been, as usual, getting all the attention. Yale, NYU, and Columbia have been dominating social media with demonstrable evidence of unfettered and unapologetic Jew hatred. Let’s focus on the hordes of […]

Labeling skeptics of Ukraine aid as Putin stooges is a lazy smear

Of the many cheap and intellectually lazy smears of modern politics, labeling opponents of Ukraine aid as foot soldiers of Russian President Vladimir Putin may be among the worst. Over the weekend, the House of Representatives passed a new $60 billion aid package for Ukraine. The proposal was brought to the floor by the chamber’s […]

As Columbia transforms into Charlottesville circa 2017, Biden faces a choice: Anti-racism or appeasement

A Kennedy named Robert is running for president while ostensibly “anti-war” activists attending Columbia have begun to hijack university property illicitly. While the layout of the Left in 2024 may contain shades of 1968, really, the pro-Hamas movement commandeering the contemporary Democratic Party is channeling the spirit of Charlottesville, Virginia, circa 2017. While today’s antisemites […]

‘Moscow Marjorie’ Taylor Greene is Putin’s useful idiot and the real betrayer of America

Every time mad-eyed blond blunderbuss Marjorie Taylor Greene opens her big gobby expletive-fuelled mouth, I feel like some of my brain cells spontaneously die.

Taxpayers must be included in the clean transition

Earth Week marks the annual reminder of our responsibility to leave the planet in better shape than we inherited it. This year, it falls amid stark reminders that we are failing another moral obligation: fiscal responsibility. With Congress accomplishing little more than spending other people’s money these days, fiscal and environmental responsibility are seldom viewed […]
