Filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest work, One Battle After Another, is a triumphant and ostentatious spectacle about morally repugnant monsters. “The message is clear,” declares one of its pseudo-protagonists in the opening scene, “free borders and free bodies.” Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Bob Ferguson, a burnt-out radical whose paranoia and half-functioning memory cells are all that remain […]
In the investigation of Charlie Kirk‘s tragic assassination, “Bella Ciao” was found engraved on one of three unfired bullet casings. The exact words, “O bella ciao, bella ciao,” are lyrics from an Italian communist song that many in the media have dismissed as merely being “anti-fascist” or a tune about resistance. This is an oversimplification […]
Moldova‘s pro-Western ruling party has beaten out Russia‘s meddling and secured another term in power, winning just over 50% of the vote in Sunday’s parliamentary elections. The result hands the party of President Maia Sandu an outright majority. It shows that even in Europe’s poorest country, where Russian influence has historically been entrenched, voters can […]
Democratic officials across the nation denounced President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy federal law enforcement to crime-ridden cities, branding it a “fascist takeover.” Yet what they fail to recognize is that their own inability to confront rising crime is precisely what created the opening for federal intervention in the first place.

The strength of a nation begins with the strength of its families. A father must be able to provide if he is to lead his household. Without steady work, the foundation of family life crumbles.

President Donald Trump‘s suggestion that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair will lead reconstruction efforts in Gaza has unleashed a flood of criticism among the red-green alliance of liberals and Islamists.

It was Zohran Mamdani‘s surprise win in New York City‘s June mayoral primary that first got the media talking about the severe shortage of reasonably priced homes and apartments, not just in the Big Apple, but around the country. As Time magazine reported, his “decisive victory didn’t just shake up New York politics — it […]
Once again, Washington, D.C., is engaged in the age-old “will they or won’t they shut down the government?” debate, while most Americans roll their eyes. But something we were promised mere months ago is glaringly absent from the conversation. At the moment, Republican leaders are insisting on a clean continuing resolution to keep the government […]
Every year, hardworking families sit around their kitchen tables and make sure their bills are paid. They don’t get to “shut down” their household if they miss a deadline. They make adjustments, tighten their belts, and do what’s necessary to keep the lights on and food on the table. Congress should be held to the […]
When President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations last week about religious persecution, he posed that freedom of religion is not a partisan talking point; it is a universal human right. While some may seek to decry the messenger, the message should unite us. Every two hours, somewhere in the world, a Christian is murdered […]
As artificial intelligence becomes the nervous system of advanced economies, it is simultaneously becoming the grammar of power in international relations. We are entering the era of AI diplomacy — where national influence is measured not just in nuclear warheads or GDP, but in computer clusters, proprietary models, and access to strategic data.
