Los Angeles voters are stuck in the same big-city Democratic voting cycle: choosing terrible mayors and replacing them with even worse ones because they are unwilling to cross party lines and elect someone who can competently run a city. A University of California, Berkeley, Institute of Governmental Studies-Los Angeles Times poll found City Councilwoman Nithya […]
The swamp’s credit card just got declined — and the swamp is big mad about it. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump did what Washington pretends is impossible: he stopped the bleeding. He canceled nearly $1 billion in unspent funding for illegal aliens, race-obsessed programs, and other waste that does nothing for the U.S. citizen […]
Five suspects believed to have been planning an attack on a U.S. Air Force base in the United Kingdom have been released on bail. The announcement of the men’s release on Monday has sparked raised eyebrows on both sides of the Atlantic. The arrest of the five British men of Middle Eastern or South Asian […]
EDGEWOOD, Pennsylvania — The Evans family threw a Halloween party every year in their backyard on Linden Avenue. Neighbor Jeannine Fisher, who lives a few doors down, told WPXI, the local NBC affiliate, that she remembers “tons of people and kids” there.

For a generation of young conservatives coming of age in an increasingly polarized America, President Ronald Reagan can sometimes seem like a relic.

That anniversary is now celebrated on Sept. 25 as First Amendment Day, which passed just last week. The holiday is a powerful reminder of one […]
The “great awokening” that began in the mid-2010s and peaked sometime late in the Biden administration by most measures seems to have largely receded — and with it the progressive fetishes of diversity, equity, and inclusion and gender ideology. Hence, it has become easy to roll one’s eyes at these ideologies as risible features of […]
As a researcher who has spent more than two decades studying counterterrorism and radical Islamist organizations in the Middle East, I want to address the Department of Homeland Security directly — and its new secretary, who understands the nature of the regime ruling Iran.
