President Trump on Wednesday made the case to a skeptical American public that the military operation in Iran is necessary to stop Tehran from building a nuclear weapon.
President Trump delivered a primetime address about the war on Iran on Wednesday evening, more than a month after hostilities commenced.

Soaring gas prices and turbulence on the financial...
When is an enemy threat imminent? Once the button has been pushed and a missile is on the way? That is obviously too late. Does potentiality blossom into imminence when a nuclear warhead is being loaded at the launch site? Too late again. Why should a target nation wait until it’ll take luck in addition […]
I serve as the executive director of two pregnancy resource centers, one in Vermont and the other in Massachusetts. But that is not where my story begins. My story begins in darkness. From the age of 2 until I was 29, I was trafficked in 33 states across this country, which included being bought and […]
The South Asian nation of India is a rising economic superpower. With a little luck, it will become a wealthy country by August 2047, the 100th anniversary of its independence.

Families rely on bulk discounts to keep grocery bills manageable and household costs under control.

Unsurprisingly, the Strait of Hormuz has become central to the war with Iran. Prior to the war, millions of barrels of oil would pass through this narrow waterway — which lies along the southern coast of Iran between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman — on a daily basis. But now, under the […]
For a second meeting in a row, the Federal Reserve has decided to keep the benchmark interest rate constant, which directly influences short-term interest rates throughout the economy. The Fed decided March 18 to leave the federal funds rate as is, with no imminent sign of another cut to come. But if anything, Fed Chairman […]
The consensus is clear. President Donald Trump, the pundits say, has trapped himself in a pointless war in Iran. He is, we are told, thrashing about blindly and blaming everyone but himself. At least Israel has war aims, even if they differ from America’s. The United States, by contrast, is shooting in the dark. I […]
