Events are moving fast. Seven days ago, as I write, Israel had not yet launched its first attacks on targets in Iran. Seven days from now, things may well have changed — significantly. In such times, a historian’s perspective may be helpful. Fortunately, the two most eminent English-language historians (pace, Tucker Carlson) have weighed in […]
“CLOWN RUNS FOR PREZ” blared the New York Daily News headline on June 17, 2015, after Donald Trump announced he was running for president. For the next 512 days, the Daily News and almost every other legacy media outlet viciously attacked and ridiculed the real estate mogul while predicting over and over that he would […]
Solar stocks plunged on Tuesday after the Senate released its version of what President Donald Trump has called the “big, beautiful bill.” While some anti-growth carveouts remain, one of its strongest reforms is how it begins to unwind former President Joe Biden’s green energy subsidies. This shift marks a long-overdue correction, ending an era where […]
Former President Barack Obama‘s former adviser, David Axelrod, tried to jab at President Donald Trump‘s foreign policy yesterday but ended up throwing his old boss under the bus. “Amazing that in a matter of days we’ve gone from ‘this is not our operation’ to ‘we own the skies over Iran,’” Axelrod posted on Tuesday. “With […]
It’s common nowadays for the rich and famous to debut a new face, similar to how a young starlet would show off a glitzy designer gown. Celebrities are known for nipping and tucking their way to physical perfection, whether it’s an appearance on a red carpet, a new album or movie launch, or a way […]
Since taking office in January, President Donald Trump has shown the European Union the cold shoulder. He is right to do so. Europe’s position on trade is unreasonable and destructive. Unlike other U.S. allies, it shows no sign of backing down. Until it does, Trump should not give EU lawmakers the attention they crave. Nixon […]
The late Shah of Iran was forced into exile by the Islamic Revolution on Jan. 16, 1979. On Feb. 1, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned to Iran from his exile in France and proceeded — as Lenin did when the Kaiser’s Germany injected him “in a sealed truck like a plague bacillus … into Russia,” […]
The tragic, politically motivated assassinations and attempted assassinations in Minnesota over the weekend have horrified the nation and prompted bipartisan condemnation. In the aftermath, Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who was former Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, has spoken beautifully about the evils of political violence, but some serious soul-searching must follow if his […]
In a recent letter to top Democrats, the Congressional Budget Office claimed that the Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act would kick millions of people off their health insurance. That warning is misleading. Millions of people are improperly enrolled in Medicaid and taxpayer-subsidized plans through Obamacare’s exchanges. Republicans are rightly trying to bring some integrity […]
Under the name “No Kings,” a network of far-left activist groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the Democratic Socialists of America, and the American Federation of Teachers, hosted thousands of protest events across the country last weekend. They weren’t the first No Kings protests of President Donald Trump’s second administration and will not be […]
