Sliwa exploits taxpayer funds instead of dropping out

In an attempt to diminish New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani‘s momentum in the race for New York City mayor, current Mayor Eric Adams threw his support behind former Gov. Andrew Cuomo last Thursday to succeed him at City Hall.  Despite Adams’s endorsement, however, Mamdani will most likely win on Nov. 4 if Republican candidate Curtis […]

Brandon Johnson’s racial obsession leaves more dead

Mayor Brandon Johnson has made Chicago less safe than it could be for no reason other than his fanatic obsession with race. His warped racial ideology views police responding to minority communities as racist, but minorities being shot and bleeding out on the streets as acceptable. A girl was shot and killed in an alley in Chicago […]

Stop giving credibility to these gambling apps

Sports betting is in the news again, as a corrupting force in American culture. Federal prosecutors charged current and former NBA players and others with fraud for rigging games and selling insider information. But even if the recent massive increase in online betting didn’t entwine the Mafia with professional athletes, we should be appalled that […]

If you choose to live in America, you should love America

“America is the genesis of what we call settler colonialism,” Mahmood Mamdani, the father of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, once told an audience, explaining that Abraham Lincoln “generalized the solution of reservations” and inspired the Nazis, who apparently learned from the American president that genocide was “doable” and that you can “differentiate […]

DHS delivers much-needed illegal immigration reckoning

The employees of the Department of Homeland Security and officers of Immigration and Customs Enforcement are making America great again. They never receive the necessary or appropriate recognition for making communities safer and protecting the country’s citizens. First, they had risked their lives by being in harm’s way when apprehending violent criminals. Now, they risk […]

Bisignano meeting the urgency of now in running the Social Security Administration 

WOODLAWN, Maryland — There is a pattern in the Trump administration that if you are very good at the first job you are appointed to, you are likely to get another one, something more challenging than the first. It’s been true for Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is also the acting national security adviser […]

Be careful what you wish for in the New York City mayor’s race

As the New York City mayoral race looms, some conservatives are rooting for socialist Democrat Zohran Mamdani to win it. It is a dangerous folly to do so.  The reflexes of politicians seek every advantage. They love it when the opposing party picks a radical. The logic for conservatives is that if Mamdani is chosen […]

To disarm Hezbollah, look to the past

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Sitting at a café in Dahieh, the southern suburb and Hezbollah stronghold of the Lebanese capital, is to witness the decline in Hezbollah’s fortunes. Women gossip and children are oblivious, but look around, and some men are missing fingers or eyes, the legacy of holding a sabotaged beeper. Hezbollah is still a […]

Higher education’s politics of compliance shift with Trump in charge

As university administrators escalate their opposition to the Trump administration‘s oversight, funding reductions, and executive actions related to campus diversity, equity, inclusion, and illegal immigration, they appear to be overlooking a critical precedent: it was former President Barack Obama who introduced the framework for aggressive federal intervention through more than 20 controversial Dear Colleague letters […]

Argentina kicks socialists to the curb, again 

Argentina‘s voters wisely reelected and strengthened President Javier Milei’s Liberty Advances party this weekend rather than switching to the socialist Peron alternative in the middle of his term of office. It is a decision that sets the country on a clearer path to prosperity while other leftist governments in the region continue to struggle. With […]

The new White House ballroom should be used for dancing, too

The new $200 million White House ballroom being built by President Donald Trump is going to be used for elegant dinners featuring dignified foreign leaders. It should also be used for dancing.  The president should hold regular dances where Americans can gather to swing, salsa, zydeco, and even rave. In the midst of increased atomization […]

The next Republican is always supposedly ‘worse’ than the last

In this world, nothing is certain except that the next Republican presidential hopeful will be “scarier” than the last.  This is one of the most frequent narratives in modern political messaging. So frequent, in fact, that it has become nearly as predictable as flu season, only drearier and with less charm.  You can practically set […]

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere reminds us why Nebraska is his best record

Filmmaker Scott Cooper’s Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, an adaptation of Warren Zanes’s book, opens on a sweaty, spent Bruce Springsteen in 1982 as he’s backstage, catching his breath after another herculean three-hour set, the kind that had already become legend on this tour. Up to that point, Springsteen’s career had followed a jagged, uncertain climb. The […]

Trump’s bet on Javier Milei pays off

Pollsters expected a rejection of the anarcho-capitalist Argentinian President Javier Milei’s party, La Libertad Avanza, in Sunday’s midterm elections. Instead, the economist of the Austrian School turned politician’s coalition cleaned house, winning 41% of the national vote and doubling their representation in Congress. With this stunning victory, Milei has a clear mandate to expand his libertarian economic reforms that aim to […]
