The death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday following joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran was met with praise from some lawmakers and world leaders, and left others condemning the Trump administration and declaring its actions illegal. Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.), the only Iranian American member of Congress, called Khamenei the "epitome of evil" and said,...
Iran now stands without its supreme leader for 36 years, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, after joint strikes from the U.S. and Israel on Saturday killed him and attacked military command posts and missile sites across the country. President Trump announced the strikes at 2:30 a.m. EST in a video shared on Truth Social. The mission, dubbed...
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth late on Saturday broke his silence about the U.S. strikes on Iran, which he described as the "most lethal, most complex, and most-precision aerial operation in history." "The Iranian regime had their chance, yet refused to make a deal — and now they are suffering the consequences," Hegseth said in a...
Tuesday is one of the most consequential days of the year in Texas politics. Voters will decide who appears on the November ballot - or in many cases, who advances to a May runoff.
The federal shutdown may be over, but its turbulence is far from behind us. Nowhere were the consequences more visible than in the skies. Delays slammed nearly every major U.S. airport, air traffic controller training ground to a halt, and long-term modernization projects were temporarily shelved when they were needed the most. As the dust […]
Once again, Democrats have shown their lack of self-awareness, let alone self-respect, when it comes to their “do as I say, not as I do” mentality. The rotund and often angry Democratic governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker (whose net worth is estimated to be almost $4 billion), shouted about how awful school choice is at a […]
Another month, another instance of California walking back a dangerous or destructive policy while smugly trying to assert some sort of moral superiority over the policy’s critics. California has revoked 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses for nondomiciled immigrants (immigrants who are legally in the country but are not citizens or permanent residents). This comes after Transportation […]
CNN commentator Ana Navarro claimed that Democrats only agreed to end the government shutdown due to a lack of "cold-heartedness" — despite the fact...
AFTER ROAD DEATHS, TRUMP ADMINISTRATION MOVES TO STOP CALIFORNIA FROM ISSUING COMMERCIAL DRIVER’S LICENSES TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. On Aug. 12, the driver of a tractor-trailer truck made an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce. It was a crazy, out-of-the-blue move, and the stunned driver of a minivan driving nearby was not able to […]
U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his center-left/left Labour Party government are under great pressure. You’d think that Starmer’s catastrophic approval rating (17% positive to 66% negative), the state of the U.K. economy (only 1.3% growth is expected in 2025, inflation is at nearly 4%, and unemployment is rising), and the soaring popularity of Nigel […]
Philadelphia is a majority minority city, meaning its largest population demographic is considered a racial minority in the United States. Representing approximately 39% of the city’s population, black Americans are the city’s largest ethnic group (while being less than 13% of the national population). White Americans are the second-largest group in Philadelphia, comprising 33.6% of […]
Fox News host Laura Ingraham asked President Donald Trump this week if the affordability issue was a factor in races in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City. “More than anything else, it’s a con job by the Democrats,” Trump said, before going on to harangue the media and instruct the GOP to tell voters […]
In a recent interview, California Gov. Gavin Newsom stated an obvious truth: The Democratic Party has abandoned boys and men. This has been apparent for some time, but it has not been addressed by those on the Left because of ignorance or partisan flippancy. Newsom is right to be concerned. This crisis is a broad problem […]
After 18 months of fighting, Pokrovsk, a Ukrainian town once home to 60,000 people, has been reduced to ruins. Russian forces control most of the town and have continued efforts to encircle Ukrainian troops still holding out in its western districts. Pokrovsk will likely fall. But its capture will not change much in the broader course […]
Exit polls from last week’s off-year elections showed the economy, especially affordability, was the top issue on voters’ minds. A strong majority of Americans, including a slim majority of Republicans, rate the economy as “fair” or “poor.” Yet President Donald Trump, much like former President Joe Biden before him, refuses to believe it. Asked by […]
Three days before last week’s elections, the once-trenchant Saturday Night Live devoted its “Cold Opening” skit to poking fun at Zohran Mamdani, now New York mayor-elect, for “smiling so much my face hurts.” The joke was that Mamdani’s permanent grin is false, an artifice he uses to appear relatable. Well, SNL is no longer the […]
