With Saturday’s mid-day murder in the 7th Avenue subway station at 53rd Street, the city has now seen seven transit killings since January — almost double the number over...
Why would Iran’s ruling establishment undermine a peace agreement offering enormous economic relief while the country faces military destruction and financial exhaustion? The answer may be that peace, however beneficial to the Iranian people, threatens the political survival of institutions that have depended on confrontation and crisis for decades. The June Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding […]
Before Shabbat on Friday, my wife sent me up the street to our local bakery to pick up challah. Outside, a man was calling out, “156!” I asked him what 156 meant. For 156 weeks in a row, he told me, he has delivered Challahs and other Shabbat food to Israeli soldiers every Friday afternoon. […]
We have reached the third anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel. Three years since the most horrific barbarity that can be inflicted upon a people in a day. Three years of the most abysmal antipathy that can be inflicted upon a people in its wake. And at its core, three years that […]
On Sept. 17, 2026, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told an overflowing hall bursting with supporters that, regarding Israel’s enemies, “from now on, we take land instead of giving it.” In an instant, Netanyahu’s declaration upended the “Land for Peace” paradigm and signaled a seismic shift in Israeli security policy that has gone largely unreported. For […]
Wednesday marks the three-year anniversary of one of the most brutal terrorist attacks in history: the deadly Oct. 7, 2023, attacks. Hamas terrorists flooded into Israel and murdered over 1,200 innocent Jewish men, women, and children, including 46 Americans. In addition to the death toll, Hamas captured and tormented 254 hostages, among them 12 Americans. […]
AI doom predictions won’t come to pass. But there’s a bigger threat we should be worried about: regulatory capture. If big AI companies succeed in weaponizing fear to get the government to slow down their competitors, we will all be worse off. When former OpenAI and Anthropic AI researcher Jacob Coxon claimed that frontier companies […]
Five days ago, the National Security Agency moved the post-quantum clock forward. Beginning in 2027, new commercial National Security Systems are expected to support quantum-resistant algorithms, while legacy systems that cannot support them are to be phased out by 2030. President Donald Trump had already accelerated the broader federal transition through an executive order titled […]
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others,” George Orwell wrote in Animal Farm. On Oct. 1, the Justice Department sued the University of Delaware and its board of trustees over a tuition policy. According to the complaint, an American citizen from out of state pays about $42,470 a year. A […]
We have entered an era where our national debt figures have grown so astronomical that the human mind simply tunes them out as abstract noise. But the laws of mathematics do not suspend themselves for the federal government. No family can permanently spend more than it brings in, no small business can operate indefinitely on […]
American taxpayers forked over $2 billion to the deeply wasteful Green Climate Fund, a U.N.-linked entity based in South Korea, and could remain on the hook for more cash … unless the Trump administration and Congress act now. The GCF funnels money into projects in various countries that are essentially foreign aid with a green […]
President Donald Trump is heading to San Antonio on Wednesday to highlight the miraculous turnaround he orchestrated in protecting the country from violent criminals, including many who were in the country illegally. Since his second term began, he has continued to remove the “worst of the worst.” For four years under President Joe Biden, the […]
As expected, artificial intelligence played a central role in the recent summit with President Donald Trump and China’s Xi Jinping. Both leaders made clear that AI and the technologies powering it will shape the next era of U.S.-China competition. But for all the ceremony and discussion, no major bilateral agreement on AI emerged. That’s probably […]
America built its economy and its military on the assumption that we would always have access to the materials required to expand our industry and innovate our defenses. For most of the 20th century, that assumption was held. But today, for one class of minerals that touches nearly everything we build, our supply is at […]
