On Oct. 1, the National Security Agency sharpened America’s post-quantum deadline. Beginning in 2027, new commercial National Security Systems must be capable of supporting quantum-resistant algorithms, and legacy systems that cannot do so are to be phased out by 2030. That deadline focuses attention on migration. But even a fully migrated system can carry a […]
Parents trying to judge the quality of a public school need information. Test scores aren’t everything, but they count for something — particularly when the tests in question are nationally administered Advanced Placement exams designed to measure whether students can handle college-level work. That makes the New York State Education Department’s decision involving AP data […]
America has a marijuana problem, and it isn’t just its high potency, easy availability, or widespread use among young and old alike. One of the biggest problems in the marijuana industry is the presence of illegal marijuana operations run by Chinese criminal networks. From California to Maine, Chinese nationals — many with ties to the […]
Supporters of Flock cameras argue that Americans shouldn’t allow privacy concerns to stand in the way of public safety.

The State Department stubbornly clings to a phantom diplomacy, recognizing a corrupt, Islamist faction in Tripoli as Libya’s sole government. Yet, the physical map dismantles this Washington fantasy.

The recent United Nations General Assembly once again gave world leaders a stage to criticize President Donald Trump and American foreign policy.

French President Emmanuel Macron warned of a “new age of barbarism.” Other American allies used the gathering to distance […]
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s statement on the third anniversary of Oct. 7, 2023, begins reasonably enough. He calls the Hamas attack “horrific war crimes,” recalls the more than 1,100 Israelis who were killed and the 251 people abducted into Gaza, and offers sympathy to New Yorkers who continue to carry the trauma of […]
