Kristi Noem thanked President Donald Trump for new Shield of the Americas special envoy role during a summit Saturday, days after he removed her as DHS secretary.
The joint U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran has done something few political events in recent memory have managed: it has turned some of President Trump's most prominent and loyal supporters against him.
A day after former presidents, sitting governors and local Chicago residents alike attended a vibrant, televised celebration for the late Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., the family and friends who knew him best hosted a more intimate gathering Saturday to grieve the civil rights leader at his organization's headquarters.
Cindy McCain, the widow of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain (R), said she was one of the thousands of Americans fleeing Middle Eastern countries amid escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran. “I want to thank all who were involved in getting me and my party out of Dubai,” McCain wrote on the social...

The United Kingdom has surrendered on every front to antisemitic terrorists. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is now shocked and appalled that antisemitic terrorists have been emboldened by this capitulation. A Syrian-born alleged terrorist named Jihad al Shamie allegedly drove his truck into a crowd at a synagogue in Manchester. He then began stabbing Jewish congregants […]
The government is shut down this week, but the rest of the world doesn’t pause or de-escalate for the sake of Capitol Hill. Last month, Russia fired more than 1,500 strike drones, 1,280 glide bombs, and 50 missiles at Ukraine, and NATO-member warplanes shot down several Russian drones over Poland — the first time the alliance […]
Through their touching messages of faith, freedom, and unity, young followers of Christ have captivated the public’s attention and marked themselves as the future of the conservative movement. “Every single person has a voice and a platform. Big or small, we have to use it,” 19-year-old Brilyn Hollyhand told the Washington Examiner. “Maybe it’s just […]
“New York is too expensive. Zohran will lower costs and make life easier.” That’s the soft sell on Zohran Mamdani‘s campaign website, a pitch tailored to a generation priced out of the American dream. Mamdani remains the front-runner in the race to become New York City‘s next mayor. And while his campaign is centered on inequality, solving it […]

It is widely reported that families can use these […]
If you listen carefully, you can hear two distinct sounds — one of anxiety, the other of laughter — coming from Washington, D.C. Each is muffled but not very well. The first is of timorous Democrats promising to keep the federal government shut until Republicans add $700 billion more to the national debt. They want […]
Repulsive, costly, and damaging to the lives of everyday people could describe the Obama Presidential Center or former President Barack Obama‘s presidency. Several recent updates have come through about the Obama Presidential Center, and none of them appear to be good. For one, the project was dreamed up with a $300 million price tag, but […]
President Donald Trump‘s unilateral imposition of the steepest tariff regime in about a century has not caused the dramatic increase in excess inflation expected by more Keynesian economists. Neither have the tariffs decimated our economic growth, thanks to Trump’s tens of billions of dollars in savings just in deregulation. But Trump is rediscovering the fact […]
It hit me last week that almost no one in the administration truly believes in tariffs. Not, at any rate, as a serious policy. The only real enthusiast for them is President Donald Trump, and he plainly does not understand how they work. Everyone else goes along with him for reasons of cowardice or careerism, […]
Despite a near-heroic final-day rally, Team USA was soundly beaten by Team Europe in the Ryder Cup at Bethpage State Park outside of New York City. The final margin of 15-13 doesn’t tell the real story of what a lopsided match it was. No one on Team USA played poorly, but Team Europe seemed well-prepared […]
Richard Cox is a 58-year-old repeat Tier III sex offender who spent the second half of 2024 prowling female locker rooms in northern Virginia, where he would ogle schoolgirls and expose himself to bystanders. Fairfax County, where Cox exposed himself repeatedly last year, never prosecuted him because, as the police chief put it, “The policy […]
If you had school children at home in the spring of 2020, you likely had to think about what sort of liquids you consumed throughout the day. Stuck at home with a job, housework, and pseudo-homeschooling to do, it may have occurred to you that you could hit your liquor cabinet, wine rack, or beer […]
