President Trump said that the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday highlights the need for a ballroom at the White House. “I didn't want to say this but this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we’re planning at the White House. It’s actually a larger room,...
“Pro-Palestinian” activists have spent the last two years complaining about a fake genocide after Gaza started a war with Israel. Now that there is a ceasefire, those same activists have gone silent as Palestinians continue living under their real oppressors: Palestinians. Shortly after Hamas agreed to a peace deal with Israel, the terrorist group began executing Palestinians […]
President Donald Trump called for a review of the United States’s investment in foreign aid to ensure it supports our interests. A periodic review of this kind is valuable and necessary.

Gang warfare of a sort has burst into flames in the Gaza territories from which Israel withdrew military forces last weekend. Hamas immediately initiated a new round of killing to make sure everyone understands it’s the top gang. Its terrorists now roam the streets they’ve governed tyrannically for 20 years, hunting down rivals and murdering […]
American foreign policy is at a tipping point. President Donald Trump’s “America First” vision and the policies that flow from this have had mixed results on the international stage. For example, while some tariffs have resulted in seemingly prosperous negotiations and growing domestic tax revenues to trim down our budget deficits, others have pushed our […]
The Ivory Coast/Côte d’Ivoire is an African success story. Two decades ago, it faced civil war but emerged stronger than ever after one of the United Nations‘s only successful peacekeeping missions. Between 2021 and 2024, its economy’s growth met or surpassed 6%, far above the global average. As regional countries’ leaders fell to coups, religious […]

Last week, Pakistani drones struck targets inside the Afghan capital of Kabul and at a bazaar in Afghanistan’s Paktika province. The strikes targeted the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan terrorist group, with the TTP stating that two “important” members had been killed.

Netflix’s Monster series began with ambition. The Jeffrey Dahmer season wasn’t an easy watch, but it asked important questions: How did police and parents miss so many warning signs? Why were victims and witnesses ignored? It was disturbing, yes, but it had purpose. The Menendez brothers’ season also went beyond the headline-grabbing trials to explore family dysfunction, […]
A thinking person’s first impulse when he’s read a great book is to tell other people about it. In my case, I tell my wife, my children, and my good friends. “Read this.” I’ve been known to go on Amazon and order a bunch of copies. I’ve just read a book that makes me want […]
President Donald Trump celebrated the release of the final 20 Israeli hostages from Hamas dungeons on Monday, telling Israel‘s Knesset that “after two harrowing years of darkness and captivity, 20 courageous hostages are returning to the glorious embrace of their families.” Referring to the repatriation of the remains of hostages who died in Gaza, Trump […]
It’s been a difficult few weeks for the world’s beta leadership class. Last month, Britain’s Keir Starmer, France’s Emmanuel Macron, Canada’s Mark Carney, and Portugal’s Paulo Rangel sparked fury among anyone who opposes Islamic terrorism when they recognized a Palestinian state. “Today, to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and Israelis, and a […]
