Two terrorists who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group gunned down 16 Australian Jews on Sunday. They and 40 others who were wounded were targeted as they memorialized the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. The correct responses to this attack should be clear. We should emphasize the historic, sadly enduring […]
Days before Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine in February 2022, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a “no-limits partnership.” At the time, few imagined it would become central to sustaining Russia’s war effort.

There is no mistaking that Avatar: Fire and Ash is the work of a talented filmmaker. Pandora remains a lavishly imagined, technically immersive world, rendered with a level of craft few directors can rival.

With President Donald Trump‘s approval ratings in the tank, all Democrats have to do is offer a sane alternative that normal Americans feel they can trust. With a few exceptions, they have done the opposite. The latest example came after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was finally able to get a vote on her legislation, […]
During President Donald Trump‘s first campaign for president, pro-life activists were thrilled at his statements of support for the unborn. Once it became clear he would be the party choice, it was easy to contrast him against long-time abortion proponent, Hillary Clinton. Pro-life voters may have been turned off to varying degrees by Trump’s words […]
March Madness is the greatest playoff spectacle in sports, something that breaks through into popular culture and people’s workplaces and dominates an entire month of the sports calendar.
