Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planning to spend up to $2 million on robot “dogs” to assist its agents' operations, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding document. A funding document posted to DHS's Acquisition Planning Forecast System on Thursday said the agency could spend between $1 million and $2 million on...
Two Trump administration officials are calling for an independent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) investigation into the government's response to the 2023 East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment — which caused toxic chemicals to spill into the town. In a joint Friday letter, Vice President JD Vance and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin asked the EPA’s acting inspector...
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s (CBC) walked back its move Friday to advise its journalists not to refer directly to Al Qaeda's Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the U.S. as an act of terrorism — guidance that garnered widespread criticism from political leaders. In an internal memo this week first reported by The Toronto Sun, CBC’s...
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth blocked promotions of four Army officers picked for promotion to one-star rank, some of whom have ties to top Army generals the Pentagon chief ousted earlier this year, The Hill has learned. Some of the officers pulled from the list have links to former Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Randy George, who...
CNN founder Ted Turner recently died, prompting President Donald Trump to reflect on what the network had become since Turner sold it decades ago. Trump argued on Truth Social that Turner grew disillusioned with CNN’s increasingly ideological direction, and the CNN founder himself said much the same before his death. Now, as CNN’s parent company […]
In order to achieve energy dominance, America must commit to permitting reform. I trained and worked as a geologist. I understand geologic time scales: slow processes unfolding over many years. Permitting large energy infrastructure too often mirrors that same slow pace, holding our country back when urgency is required. Worse yet, even projects that follow […]
The Middle East is once again standing on the edge of a dangerous turning point. Tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States are rising rapidly. Military threats are growing louder. Diplomacy appears frozen. Across Washington, policymakers are debating sanctions, airstrikes, and the possibility of another regional conflict. But amid all the noise, one reality […]
The public hates inflation. Ever-rising prices reduce prosperity for households and businesses. There are daily articles about high prices for gasoline, electricity, and beef. But rarely does the media spotlight inflation caused by greedy public sector unions that use their monopoly bargaining power to extract absurd wages and benefits. For the first time since 1994, […]
As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, we reflect on our shared good fortune. Becoming a citizen, either by birth or by choice, affords us a special kind of privilege. It’s a form of privilege unmatched in the developed world. Our country is by no means perfect, yet the freedoms, opportunities, vast natural beauty, and rugged […]
Both U.S. and Chinese officials tout President Donald Trump’s two-day visit to Beijing last week as a masterclass in pageantry and transactional diplomacy. Smiles were exchanged, lucrative trade deals were verbally committed to, and a fragile consensus was reached on stabilizing bilateral ties and managing global flashpoints such as the Iran crisis. Yet, beneath the […]
On May 15, Israel eliminated Izz al-Din al-Haddad, better known inside Hamas as Abu Suhaib. The strike in Gaza City removed the terrorist organization’s most senior military commander with real operational authority inside the territory. With his death, Hamas has effectively lost the last figure capable of exercising unified battlefield control over its forces in […]
The Islamic Republic of Iran created the Persian Gulf Strait Authority to collect tolls for ships seeking to transit the Strait of Hormuz’s international waters. The normal toll? $2 million. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reportedly controls the Authority. That matters because the U.S. designates the Revolutionary Guards in its entirety as a terrorist group. […]
In yet another sign that former Vice President Kamala Harris is running for president again in 2028, she has rolled out a new slogan: “This is a moment when there are no bad ideas.” Unfortunately, the ideas Harris rattled off after making that statement were terrible, and also entirely about helping Democrats take and keep […]
This week, the largest British trade delegation ever to land on American soil, with leaders representing 230 companies, touches down in Los Angeles for “Greater Together LA,” a summit dedicated to growing...
