The Syrian government under President Ahmad al Sharaa has moved to reassert control over Kurdish-held territories in the country’s north and northeast. Kurds facing pressure both from Damascus and from their former Arab allies against ISIS were pushed out of Aleppo and Raqqa. The Syrian government subsequently took control of oil and gas fields in […]
“You see George, you really had a wonderful life, don’t you see what a mistake it would be to throw it all away?” These words still fresh in mind from the holiday classic “It’s a Wonderful Life” always hits hard, the angel Clarence pleading with George Bailey not to take his own life. The concern […]
The Houston Independent School District announced a large drop in student enrollment this year, as did most major cities, including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Denver. While many blue states are just losing population entirely, even some red state cities, such as Houston, are losing children to surrounding suburbs. If cities are going […]
A federal judge granted a temporary restraining order barring DHS and related agencies from "destroying or altering evidence" tied to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
It is unclear where President Donald Trump’s relationship with Elon Musk will go from here, there are already some signs the two of them might be making up, but what the incident has revealed is just how weak Mush is among Republicans on Capitol Hill… or as the kids might say, Washington is just not […]
President Donald Trump‘s recent split with Tesla CEO Elon Musk is the edge, or maybe just the hope, for which more traditional conservatives in the party have been waiting. This is especially true in the buildup to the administration’s release of policy recommendations for in vitro fertilization. Trump’s “baby boom” plans saw particular amplification under […]
Tucker Carlson has long railed against credit card interest rates, repeatedly invoking historical prohibitions on usury as reason to ban current lending practices. When he proposed to his latest podcast guest that the proper punishment for contemporary creditors is “prison,” he probably didn’t expect pushback from a Catholic bishop. Though Carlson was right that the […]
It is long known that liberals have poor mental health. For some of them, political violence is a given. The trend is obvious in most left-wing issues, from pro-Palestinian attacks to Black Lives Matter riots to Tesla burnings. Nowhere, though, is it more salient than within the transgender movement. One transgender-identifying male threatened to assassinate […]
China’s Trojan horse could be on your roof. Last month, that was the warning from engineers in American solar farms, who found “kill switches,” a mechanism designed to shut down or disable a device, in Chinese-made solar parts when doing a security check. These parts are already embedded in homes, businesses, and utilities across the country. They could be […]
America is facing a Medicaid crisis — and not because the program is too small or too stingy. The real problem isn’t funding. It’s priorities. It’s accountability. And it’s whether Medicaid as we know it can survive the next decade. The House-passed reconciliation bill, the one “big, beautiful bill,” takes long-overdue steps to protect Medicaid for […]
Does adherence to the separation of powers risk nuclear war? The federal government seems to think so. Fortunately, the U.S. Court of International Trade last week struck down President Donald Trump’s tariffs as unlawful in companion cases brought by small businesses and 12 states. But the litigation will continue, likely up to the U.S. Supreme […]
Days after his exit from his role in the Trump administration as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk is once again throwing his weight around, this time to oppose the president’s embattled “big, beautiful bill.” On X, Musk excoriated the spending bill, calling it “the debt slavery bill” that “contains the largest increase in […]
The legacy media seem beyond redemption. They’re like Macbeth, so steeped in blood that going back would be as tedious as continuing onward. So outlets that supposedly write the first draft of history remain determined to distort and deceive rather than enlighten their readers. You’d think their humiliating exposure as cover-up artists for former President […]
The Supreme Court is apparently too busy to uphold rights that are explicitly protected in the Bill of Rights. This week, the court denied certiorari in two cases challenging “assault weapon” bans in Maryland and Rhode Island. The ban in Maryland, where prohibitive regulations make it unconstitutionally difficult for law-abiding citizens to obtain any guns, […]
Today, we are witnessing what happens when an adversary nation has a near monopoly position into essential raw materials. China produces over 90% of the world’s rare earth magnets. It mines and refines about 70% of the world’s rare earth minerals. It is using its economic stranglehold over these essential inputs into America’s domestic production of defense systems, vehicles, […]
Nobody misses the commute. Nobody misses picking up the suit at the dry cleaner. Everyone appreciates being able to make the doctor’s appointment at 11 a.m. on a Tuesday. But maybe, just maybe, working from home doesn’t really make workers happier. Fully remote workers are less likely than the average worker to report themselves to […]
