For a party supposedly concerned about lifting up the underprivileged, Illinois Democrats seem oddly OK with getting rid of a program designed to give low-income students educational opportunities.
Parents across the country are tired of K-12 schools putting identity politics above providing a quality education to their children. Democrats have attempted to portray this sentiment as partisan and right-wing, but it apparently persists even in a city where their politics otherwise dominate.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg made clear on Monday that Ukraine would not be invited to join NATO at next month's leaders summit in Lithuania.
The decay of safety in Democratic-run cities leaves Republicans an opportunity. The party must find candidates for these cities across the country to capitalize on it.
Randi Weingarten’s American Federation of Teachers will do just about anything to avoid discussing, or putting effort toward improving, educational outcomes. This sad fact was on display yet again last week when the AFT announced it will be participating in a 15-city rolling bus protest in Florida over the next few days.
Another day, yet another trial targeting Russian political opposition leader and anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny. Navalny faces trumped-up charges related to his supposed support for extremist movements.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has concluded his visit to China. Renewed high-level dialogue between Washington and Beijing is positive. Xi Jinping's regime is particularly paranoid in its view of U.S. foreign policy. Miscommunication risks war, so even tense communication has value.
The public debate on transgenderism can’t be left at “live and let live” because Democrats always take their arguments to extremes. This includes the demand that the criminal justice system bends over backward for transgender murderers and rapists.
Middleborough Public Schools in Massachusetts sent 12-year-old Liam Morrison home from school one day in March for wearing a T-shirt that supposedly violated the dress code. Staff had pulled him aside, told him it was making other students feel unsafe, and asked him to remove it, but he refused.
The American Civil Liberties Union was formerly known for its principled stance on civil liberties. But today, it has become a group dominated by progressive ideologues. Illustrations of this shift are numerous, but a recent tweet about the death penalty is likely among the best. Not only does it show just how out-of-touch the ACLU is with the rest of the country, but it is also a masterclass in how not to campaign against the death penalty.
The Ukraine war has enabled Iran to showcase its booming military industry. As the Iranian fiscal year ended in March, Iranian Deputy Defense Minister Seyyed Mahdi Farahi, an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps general, bragged to the Defense Ministry’s official newspaper that Iran had increased its defense exports 2.5 times over the previous year.
In an interview with Sean Hannity last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) claimed the idea of an exodus from California is a myth. But the data tell a far different story.
WHY DID TRUMP DO IT? There are a lot of questions surrounding the federal indictment of former President Donald Trump, which alleges that after leaving the White House, Trump kept secret national defense information he was not legally allowed to possess.
