Democrat politician kills wife, gun control groups blame the gun

Gun control groups will always blame law-abiding gun owners for gun deaths, even when the killings are committed by the very kind of Democratic politicians that those groups support. Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, a Democrat whose political ambitions were erased after he faced sexual assault allegations, was found dead Thursday morning along with […]

Pete Hegseth’s shallow theatrics are damaging the Trump administration

As previously detailed by the Washington Examiner, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine is an adherent of Aurelian stoicism. Caine speaks precisely in public, celebrating the military’s mission and its inherent values of service and courage. Not so Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

Marriage is what really matters

America’s cultural foundations are cracking. Marriage has been redefined and weakened, the family cast aside as outdated, and traditional ideas of manhood attacked as toxic. The result is a nation of lonely, disconnected individuals — unhappier, less stable, and increasingly unable to sustain the free institutions that made America exceptional. Timothy Goeglein’s new book, What […]

Tehran’s Art of the Deal: A slow creep, and before you notice, it’s too late

In the early 2010s, I was sitting in a park in north Tehran with an Iranian intelligence officer who didn’t know I had infiltrated his operation. He asked me a question: Do you know how to boil a frog? If you throw it into boiling water, it jumps out. But if you place it in […]

Orban’s ouster was a win. But don’t let Hungary distract from Russia’s next target

Post-election celebrations erupted in the streets of Budapest over the weekend after Hungarian voters ousted Prime Minister Viktor Orban after 16 years, handing pro-EU opposition leader Peter Magyar a supermajority and depriving Moscow of its closest friend inside NATO.

Drug price relief is within reach — but only if Washington moves now

James Carville, a longtime adviser to former President Bill Clinton, coined the phrase, “It’s the economy, stupid,” to capture voters’ anxiety about their personal finances, jobs, and the cost of living.

Donald Trump is losing his mind

Imagine it was someone other than President Donald Trump.

Pulp fiction at the Pentagon

War Secretary Pete Hegseth thinks of President Donald Trump as a modern-day Jesus. Or at least that’s what he appeared to suggest at his Pentagon briefing Thursday morning.
