Vice President J.D. Vance is the new "Fraud Czar," President Trump announced Friday, and will focus on California and other blue states where Mr. Trump said criminals have engaged in unprecedented theft of taxpayer money.
Two people accused of being part of a plot to plant bombs at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida were born to illegal immigrants in the U.S., making them birthright citizenship babies, the Department of Homeland Security said.
In the battle between global security and the instability promoted by bad actors, our European “allies” do not seem to simply be standing on the sidelines. When push comes to shove, they are, regardless of their intentions, siding with those bad actors. France is showcasing this most plainly by reportedly joining Russia and China in […]
NASA officials on Friday afternoon will update reporters on the progress of the Artemis II mission, the U.S.'s first crewed lunar mission in roughly five decades. The 10-day test flight is expected to orbit the moon. The crew includes three U.S. astronauts and one from Canada. At approximately 6:32 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, NASA launched...
Imagine a small-town business owner facing a meritless lawsuit that could bankrupt three generations of family enterprise. His lawyers advise settling because the plaintiff’s backers have unlimited capital and a proven strategy of bleeding defendants dry through endless discovery. Here’s the twist: those backers never appear in court. Their names aren’t on any filing. What even the judge doesn’t know is that anonymous Wall Street investors are calling […]
When the United States toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003, Washington hoped to help build a democratic Iraq that could become a stable partner in the Middle East. Instead, over the past two decades, Iraq’s political system gradually evolved into something far more complex — a state whose most powerful political actors, security networks, and institutions […]
In the aftermath of an ISIS-inspired attack in New York City, it wasn’t just CNN that became the target of widespread scorn. As CNN’s report of the would-be terrorist bombing focused on the weather and the alleged perpetrators, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was also lambasted for beginning his address by focusing on Islamophobia. […]
Our nation’s capital is one of the most expensive places in the country to live, especially for entry-level workers. A legislative staffer or policy analyst in their late 20s earns roughly $58,000 a year, yet median rents in the district routinely exceed $2,300 per month — nearly half their income. Add in the rising cost of groceries, tens […]
The efficiency and destructiveness of the United States’s military so far in the Iran campaign have been historic, and the bravery and professionalism of the people at the tip of the spear are awe-inspiring. However, it’s also worth remembering that the shaft of that spear is long and comprised of thousands of essential workers, not all of them in […]
Technology is disrupting the U.S. banking industry. Cryptocurrency firms are trying to compete directly with America’s largest banks in pursuit of the financial assets of the country’s households and businesses. But the crypto firms that want to collect customer deposits do not want to be subject to the capital requirements and banking regulations that govern America’s biggest banks. […]
Wars used to announce themselves with troop movements, air-raid sirens, and closed skies. Today, the opening move is often invisible. By the time physical conflict begins, the digital battlefield has already been shaped. Modern warfare often begins when adversaries quietly penetrate digital systems such as traffic cameras, mobile phones, logistics networks, and data platforms. As […]
Unrelated events in recent days demonstrate conclusively that Jimmy Carter was the nation’s worst president, even worse than Joe Biden, who only pretended to be president. Carter was actually running the show in the late 1970s, and he made a mess of things. First, although most commentators acknowledge that today’s events in Iran began in […]
Partly because of the mass deportation of, and self-deportation by, illegal immigrants, rents are falling in most markets across the country. This is a good thing, but most people don’t dream of renting; they dream of owning a home. It has never been more difficult for young people to buy their first home and get […]
The sinister media soft-soaping of Saturday’s ISIS bomb attack on the Upper East Side shows exactly whose side these corrupted news organizations are on...
As Donald Trump’s Republicans look askance as he launches what looks to some like another long-term war in the Middle East, and as the anti-Trump Democrats hold up Homeland Security funding in what looks to some like prioritizing illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens, one is tempted to ask, what’s going on with America’s political parties? […]
Somewhere between the White House and the Pentagon, the nation’s leaders need to start giving the public a regular, clear, concrete sense of how Operation Epic...
