Switzerland is busy selling itself as a premier venue for international sports competitions — and the government is throwing its weight behind the effort.

The streets of Iran have spoken with a clarity that cannot be ignored. For weeks, protests have surged across the country, defying bullets, batons, and the machinery of repression. Tehran’s rulers responded with a ferocity that betrays their fear: mass arrests, violent crackdowns, and a chilling escalation of executions, more than 2,000 last year alone. […]
Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said President Donald Trump could nominate the next chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors as soon as this week. The term of the current chairman, Jerome Powell, ends in May. Just two weeks ago, financial markets and prediction markets believed Trump would choose either Kevin Hassett or Kevin Warsh to […]
If the Department of Homeland Security is serious about increasing deportations, something some 77 million Americans presumptively voted for, the path forward isn’t new laws or even more immigration officers.

This is regrettable because, for decades, from his days organizing and leading Republicans at Harvard College to his home in Oregon where he boosted and led grassroots and state-level Republicans to Washington, D.C., where he lead […]
The Left, including the groups funding and organizing the country’s nationwide protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is up in arms over illegal immigration enforcement operations, particularly those in the United States. And they will try to make you believe that their anger stems from the deaths of left-wing demonstrators Renee Good and Alex Pretti […]
It has recently been a bad stretch for President Donald Trump, perhaps the worst of his second term. But recent polls showing a bump in support from Hispanic voters might offer a path forward. The latest Emerson College survey has Trump’s approval rate surging among Hispanic voters. Emerson found that 43.3% of Hispanics approved of […]
