A Utah judge on Monday ordered a 71-year-old man who spent decades on death row for a 1985 killing to be released on bail, despite objections from the victim's family, after prosecutors said newly analyzed DNA evidence did not match him.
The White House has spent days fiercely defending three taxpayer-funded advertisements that glorify President Donald Trump and are nearing at least $1.5 million in public spending, calling them public service announcements like those used in past administrations.
Did Obama administration officials use government power to influence a private patent dispute involving a corporation co-founded by one of former President Barack Obama’s longtime political supporters? The known facts do not prove they did. But unusual events surrounding ParkerVision’s long-running litigation against Qualcomm raise that possibility and demand an answer. The threat extends beyond […]
I spent 30 years as an expert witness answering one question for a judge or jury: did the person managing someone else’s money know, or should have known, something was wrong. Gov. Tim Walz’s (D-MN) Minnesota just handed the country a five-minute version of that question. Federal prosecutors say Feeding Our Future, a nonprofit group […]
The Houthis may be discovering something more valuable than another missile or drone: hesitation. Is the current combination of U.S. restraint, an untested Saudi-Turkish-Pakistani defense pact, and delayed European military involvement leading the Houthis to believe they can keep escalating without paying a sufficiently high price?

European Union spokesman Anouar el Anouni recently demanded that the United States lift its visa ban on Palestinian Authority Dictator Mahmoud Abbas and allow him to address the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). As usual, this is just another empty gesture of European virtue-signaling, considering that Abbas will bypass the restriction and spew his propaganda […]
Two years ago, POLARIS National Security documented the price Americans paid for the Biden-Harris administration’s deterrence failures around the world. After the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, failing to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine, abetting the worst border crisis in U.S. history, and bankrolling Iran’s terrorism apparatus before Oct. 7, 2023, the Biden-Harris […]
Where is Marco? Where is our secretary of state? These questions echo across Washington as a cascade of high-stakes global crises unfolds. Look at the headlines on any given day. The chief diplomat of the United States seems to be missing in action. In almost every major breakthrough, President Donald Trump has conspicuously used other individuals. For […]
Just two years after Nikole Hannah-Jones claimed she “made the right choice” in sending her daughter to a social-justice-oriented Brooklyn middle school, the race activist is back in the New York Times admitting she “failed both my values and my child.” But don’t expect any true introspection from the leader of the divisive 1619 Project […]
World leaders are arriving in New York for the 81st United Nations General Assembly. All eyes are on Washington’s next move regarding Tehran.
