Tens of thousands of conservatives who gathered for Turning Point Action's AmericaFest on Sunday received a surprise phone call from President Trump and an appearance from rapper Nicki Minaj.
The U.S. Coast Guard on Sunday was pursuing another sanctioned oil tanker in the Caribbean Sea as the Trump administration appeared to be intensifying its targeting of such vessels connected to Venezuelan government.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) predicted Sunday that an extension of subsidies offered under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will pass the House with backing from both sides of the aisle. “House Democrats are going to continue to fight to get this extension through the Congress on our side. It will pass with a...
Writers venturing predictions generally prefer events to prove them right, not wrong. But I’d much rather miss the mark in this case than hit the bullseye. Because I venture the opinion that negotiations in Geneva will not end the Ukraine war. Each of the two parties to that hideous conflict wants to avoid being the […]
There’s been much talk of late about fissures in the Republican Party. It’s not just MAGA vs. “GOPE” — the GOP Establishment. That’s old news. The Epstein files are newer news, which Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) says have “ripped MAGA apart.” Then there’s MTG’s resignation, and her blast at President Donald Trump, which he, […]
Nov. 24 was the 100th anniversary of William F. Buckley Jr.’s birth. Even though he has been gone for more than a decade and a half, the impact of his life is still being felt today. In his efforts to forge a consequential movement, Buckley worked to “police the Right,” expelling antisemites and conspiracy theorists […]
At a time when marriage and birth rates are rapidly declining, a recent Pew poll finding that 12th graders are far less interested in getting married today than they were 30 years ago is alarming. In 1993, according to Pew, some 80% of all 12th graders said they were likely to get married someday, compared […]
What happens when you combine California‘s lax criminal “justice” system with an electoral system focused on mailing ballots to voters? You get crime rings that jeopardize trust in the entire electoral system. San Jose has mail thieves on the loose, with a group of criminals evidently getting a hold of postal master keys to raid […]
The soap-opera sideshow currently roiling elite media involves journalists Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza, a formerly engaged Washington, D.C., power couple whose breakup has produced dueling, late-breaking memoirs. Nuzzi, who was infamously axed by New York magazine after she allegedly conducted a digital affair with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., resurfaced […]
President Donald Trump, following the GOP’s November off-year election shellacking and a minor but sustained dip in his approval ratings, has been quick to reprioritize the cost-of-living conundrum. It’s a matter that originally delivered him a second term, after former President Joe Biden‘s four years in office. “The Biden administration started the affordability crisis,” Trump […]
Bare feet. Bad breath. Boisterous conversations and body odor. When you fly, you run the risk of a memorable experience, to say the least. And it’s not just thanks to your close proximity to other passengers. We’re all getting ruder, too. The Transportation Department reports that “since 2019, the [Federal Aviation Administration] has seen a […]
From Presidents Franklin Roosevelt through John F. Kennedy, the Democratic Party projected patriotic confidence, fully comfortable celebrating America’s greatness alongside Republicans. But around 2014, coinciding with the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, that began to change. Democrats now routinely tell pollsters they are not proud of their country and that other nations are […]
In June, after Zohran Mamdani somehow bulldozed through the New York Democratic mayoral primary and seized the nomination, I was walking through my neighborhood — I live just north of Manhattan — when a friend saw me and deadpanned: “So when Mayor Mamdani makes the buses free, can we ride them on Shabbos?” This was classic […]
The Democrats’ latest con job is blaming President Donald Trump for former President Joe Biden’s legacy inflation and claiming that Zohran Mamdani-style socialism will solve the “affordability problem” rather than make it far worse. If the Ocasio-Cortez-Sanders-Jeffries crowd gets away with this propaganda, the next “red wave” to wash over America will be a Marxist-controlled Congress […]
KYIV, Ukraine — Nobody can agree on an acceptable peace in Ukraine. Should Russia be allowed to keep the lands it took by force? Should Ukraine be allowed to join NATO? What sort of security guarantee is sufficient? What sort is reasonable? Deeper questions undergird these. What sort of future is possible for Ukraine? And […]
An American friend described modern Britain to me as “a health service with a nuclear deterrent.” This is unfair. Modern Britain is a health service with a nuclear deterrent, and also the BBC. President Donald Trump‘s threat to sue Britain’s state broadcaster for $1 billion for its “reckless disregard for the truth” could, if carried out, mean […]
The first time Nayara Andrejczyk fired a gun, she fell in love. It was a revolver, handed to her at a Pennsylvania range after years of quiet fascination — years spent in Brazil, where guns were the domain of criminals, police, or politicians, often overlapping categories. “It was like the forbidden fruit,” she said. “In […]
