You can generally gauge the success of a musical by how long after the credits roll its melodies and lyrics continue to linger in your head. The 2024 musical remake of Mean Girls, despite boasting palpable vocal prowess among its cast, fails to evoke any such memorable earworms. Restructuring the 2004 coming-of-age comedy’s main plot points into cheesy and […]

During the Cold War, our nuclear arsenal served as the ultimate guarantor of American freedom and prosperity. Today, that arsenal is aged; the newest warhead is over 30 years old. Many are decades older. The United States is now in the 13th year of a nuclear modernization program designed to update and modernize America’s strategic deterrent. During […]
NIKKI HALEY AND THE QUEST FOR ‘CLOSE.’ Epping, New Hampshire — On Sunday afternoon, Nikki Haley finally got what she wanted: a one-on-one race with former President Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination.

In a Jan. 8 decision, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals found that Department of Energy regulators had failed to consider whether their regulations aimed at saving energy would actually work — and, specifically, how people […]
A mother and two children drowned last week while trying to cross the Rio Grande from Mexico into Texas.
