The far-right Alternative for Germany party surged to a resounding victory in a regional election Sunday, but fell a little short of winning a majority in its quest to form the country's first far-right state government since World War II.
An armed assailant lunged at the Democratic candidate for Ohio governor, Amy Acton, on Sunday during a campaign stop at the Canfield Fair, injuring several people, campaign officials said.
President Trump on Sunday posted a map of New Mexico labeled "New America" following the spread of a since-debunked online hoax claiming he had signed an executive order renaming the state. The map Trump shared on Truth Social showed a large "X" over "Mexico" in the state's name, with the word "America" labeled below it....
North Andover, Mass., has hoisted the Palestinian flag from its town common flagpole. The message its sending to Jews amid the Israel-Palestine conflict is...
Even for an often-neglected population, the Illinois legislature’s recent indifference toward its own citizens seemed callous to the point of being cruel. The state’s lawmakers allowed a program that provides scholarships to low-income students to expire without so much as a vote.
Two weeks ago, the Washington Examiner’s editorial board criticized Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and me for our legislation to remove marijuana as a Schedule I substance. In its op-ed, the editorial board does mental gymnastics to claim that the continued prohibition of marijuana is the solution to black markets and completely disregards the potential to advance the medical benefits it is capable of offering.
Maya Angelou famously once said, “When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.” On Tuesday, Nikki Haley just showed the public who she is. It was troubling and, quite frankly, un-American.
In the nauseating demonstrations celebrating Hamas’s slaughter of Israelis, one hears repeated, again and again, the refrain that Israelis are “settlers” and “colonists” — and therefore, in the catechism inculcated in universities in recent decades, oppressors not deserving of mercy or sympathy when tortured and murdered by those who deemed themselves the oppressed.
The First Amendment and landmark Supreme Court rulings make the U.S. exceptional on the concern of freedom of speech. Our preference of speakers over subjects in defamation laws and tolerance of the most controversial protests emphasize that the national interest is best served by maximal speech. Until recently, Republicans were broadly supportive of this understanding. They rightly pointed out the Left's growing tendency to restrict or penalize speech seen as contravening left-wing orthodoxy on issues such as identity politics.
NIKKI HALEY'S DANGEROUS IDEA. So far, no Republican candidate has been able to make a serious run at former President Donald Trump, who remains far ahead of the GOP presidential pack. But Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, has managed to grab some momentum in the race for second place. She's done it in large part by turning in three good performances at the first Republican debates, managing to find the right position and capture the right tone on issues from foreign policy to abortion.
It seems that about half of all commentary by economic writers these days amounts to: “The economy is great, and Biden would get more credit if only the people were smart enough to notice.”
President Joe Biden is meeting in California with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and by all reports, Biden is desperate to smooth things over with the world’s leading communist. Biden is taking steps to minimize any protests against Xi and “to ensure Xi has a ‘pleasant visual’ as he moves from event to event.”
With the help of nearly a hundred more Democrats than Republicans, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) passed a clean continuing resolution on Tuesday to keep the government open through the new year.
California Democrats spent billions over the past decade on dozens of programs to solve the state’s homelessness crisis, only to see more homeless people on the street than ever. Then, overnight, many of the homeless suddenly disappeared.
