A convicted MS-13 killer known as "La Bruja" or "the witch" is free in California after a federal judge ruled ICE held him without a required bond hearing for five months.
On Sept. 30, 2023, then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy shepherded a short-term continuing resolution through the House of Representatives in a bid to stave off a government shutdown. It required support from Democrats, but it cost McCarthy his job. Two days later, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) filed a motion to vacate McCarthy from the speakership, accusing […]
Once there was a presidency in which spending was through the roof, breaking all non-World War II records and setting conditions for massive inflation; when illegal border crossings grew in number; when the president abjectly failed to deliver his most prominent campaign promise; when manufacturing was down; when the president had to arrange for taxpayer […]
President Joe Biden is wildly unpopular, but that fact alone is not going to gift Republicans election wins in 2024. In fact, the red flags are already beginning to fly. Florida Democrats won the special election for state House District 35. In 2020, Biden won that district over then-President Donald Trump by 5 points. In […]
A new bipartisan proposal from Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) to expand the child tax credit is a welcome effort to enact family-friendly policy and is further evidence that there is bipartisan support for pro-family policies. The proposal would expand the child tax credit on an annual basis for the next […]
In the run-up to and aftermath of the Iowa caucuses, Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s (R-FL) campaign, surrogates, and supporters debuted several excuses that were, quite frankly, Trumpy. The Florida governor did not fail when he lost to the former president by 30 points, DeSantis devotees argued, but rather, he was failed by that empty-headed electorate. In […]
The Supreme Court declined to hear a case on Tuesday that would have allowed it to decide whether or not men can go into girls’ bathrooms and vice versa. It’s an absurd question that has a commonsense answer, but the whims of modern ontology have made the question a relevant one for the purposes of […]
In the 21st century in the United States, we are supposed to be striving to put an end to racial discrimination. This isn’t true, however, if you are a white person, more specifically, a white male. There has been ample evidence of this over the years, of course, from discrimination in employment opportunities to college […]
The 2024 elections are rapidly approaching, and much attention will be on the Hispanic vote. Recognized as the second largest population of Americans of voting age, Latinos will be an influential population for the political season and are not a constituency any party can take for granted. As a Hispanic voter myself who has lived […]
China is helping Hamas. The Middle Kingdom is providing both arms and political cover to the terrorist group as it fights Israel in the Gaza Strip. The move marks a significant departure in Beijing’s regional strategy. Israel and the U.S. should take note. Israel Defense Forces have encountered “vast quantities of weapons manufactured by China being […]
Eritrea is, alongside North Korea, the world’s most totalitarian state. President Isaias Afwerki brokers no dissent. Fearing popular will, he allows no election but rather subjects his population to indefinite conscription to make them slaves of the state. The country hosts the continent’s worst gulags. Its transnational repression extends to the United States. Here, Eritrean […]
Voters in Taiwan elected Vice President Lai Ching-te as their next president over the weekend, a move that will set off a chain reaction of events sure to shape the globe for decades. Lai, a member of Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party, or DDP, is viewed by China as a “separatist” and an impediment to Chinese […]
Global elites of all sorts are traveling to Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting this week. The theme this year is “Rebuilding Trust.” Perhaps a good place to start is distinguishing capitalism from environmentalism. They could also stop trying to make business serve the environment rather than people. Consider the irony of […]
