Prime Minister Keir Starmer has undermined the special relationship by his dithering and inadequate support for the United States in its conflict with Iran.

I’ll leave it to military and intelligence experts to offer more comprehensive and detailed analyses of the still-underway U.S.-Israeli operation against Iran’s regime, but two breathtaking realities have become unavoidably clear, even to relatively casual observers. First, the United States and Israel have achieved exquisite and deep intelligence penetration of the regime. Second, the regime […]
President Donald Trump on Feb. 12 announced the “biggest deregulatory move in history” — the Environmental Protection Agency rescission of the 2009 Obama administration EPA endangerment finding for greenhouse gases with respect to vehicles. It is a great move to end the climate hoax, to spur American energy dominance, and to boost the economy and […]
