There was a time when the word “genocide” stopped a conversation cold. Now, it’s a talking point — flung at whatever country the progressive Left wants to tar this week. The word was coined in 1944 by Raphael Lemkin, a Polish Jewish lawyer who lost 49 members of his family to the Holocaust, including his […]
Every generation believes that superior weapons have changed the nature of war. Ours does, too. History stubbornly disagrees. Military history, in America and around the world, teaches one lesson with remarkable consistency: Overwhelming force can win battles, but only strategy can end wars. The distinction matters because nations often confuse military superiority with strategic success. […]
China has to date run two large-scale experiments in capturing global technology market share. Call them the Huawei model and the TikTok model. The contrast between them explains why Chinese AI labs — DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM — are succeeding today, and why their winning streak may eventually hit the same impasse TikTok did. By […]
The Democratic Socialists of America invites Americans to imagine life without bills: no mortgage, landlord, health insurance premiums, college debt, grocery anxiety, or transportation costs. It sounds like a brightly colored water slide — fast, easy, exciting, and open to everyone. What the advertisement does not show is where the water ends. Bills do not […]
With the announcement in June by Columbia University that it would once again require SAT or ACT scores as part of the undergraduate application process, the failed experiment of “test-optional” admissions at Ivy League schools and beyond has finally come to an end. Columbia was the last holdout among the “elite” institutions of higher education. […]
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani sat down for an interview with the New York Times on Friday. As the mayor passes six months in office, his socialist philosophy continues to misunderstand how to ensure American prosperity. Interviewed by the New York Times‘s Lulu Garcia-Navarro, Mamdani spoke his mind on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, […]
As the United States and Iran exchange military strikes across the Persian Gulf, one lesson should already be clear: Tehran’s nuclear ambitions are only one part of a much broader strategy for preserving the Iranian regime’s grip on power. Recent attacks on military installations, commercial shipping, and regional infrastructure demonstrate that the regime’s nuclear ambitions […]
I have spent more than a decade testifying about fiduciary duty in federal and state courtrooms. The standard is not complicated. If you hold someone else’s money, you owe that person undivided loyalty, prudent judgment, and, at a minimum, your presence when the subject is how their money got stolen. Miss that standard as an […]
The line between tough political critique and historical prejudice has been erased in mainstream Western institutions. Just days ago, the Church of England’s General Synod voted to endorse a document labeling Israel a “colonial enterprise” and accusing it of “genocidal war.” Almost simultaneously, this rhetoric manifested on Capitol Hill. In a historic legislative fracture, nearly […]
The election integrity movement deserves tremendous credit for making the SAVE America Act a must-pass priority for Congress. Over the last six months, its advocates in both the House and Senate have repeatedly forced consideration of the legislation and successfully persuaded President Donald Trump not to sign the housing bill or other major legislation until […]
As chance would have it, I happened to be roaming the halls of the Russell Senate Office Building just a few weeks ago when I bumped into — almost literally — Sen. Lindsey Graham. I had met him briefly on two different occasions years ago, each time at one of those functions where you briefly […]
President Donald Trump promised to secure the southern border from the day he descended down the golden escalator in 2015, and his second administration has made border security one of its defining priorities. Since taking office again, illegal border crossings have fallen sharply as enforcement has intensified, reversing the record surge seen during the Biden […]
Last Thursday night, President Donald Trump used a primetime address to announce the declassification of records concerning American elections. Most of the commentary since has focused on whether the material proves what he says it proves. That argument will take months, as it should. Meanwhile, the question that matters most to the people responsible for […]
The naivete of a sophomore isolationist vice president in JD Vance has at the least proven that the United States has no chance to reach a satisfactory agreement of peace with Iran. Is seeking Iran’s de facto surrender our only successful strategy? It appears so. After five weeks of amazingly successful bombing, the following 13 […]
