Gavin Newsom has a long record of blunders, from the French Laundry to the Train to Nowhere. The latest is the Hollywood tax credit, which he canceled by mistake.
U.S. Central Command (Centcom) announced on Tuesday night that it completed an additional round of strikes on "dozens" of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's coastal region at 10 p.m. EDT. The strikes came after the U.S. resumed a naval blockade at 4 p.m. EDT, with over 20 U.S. Navy warships and...
President Trump on Tuesday warned Iran that the U.S. is "going to hit them very hard" after the fourth day of U.S. strikes on the Islamic regime. Trump spoke with Fox News's Trey Yingst about the conflict, saying that the U.S. will gradually expand its strikes across Iran's infrastructure. "We're going to hit them very...
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday will hold the Economic Diplomacy Action Group's (EDAG) first meeting, two years after it was established during the Biden administration. The committee, made up of federal agency leaders, will "shape the contours and focus of U.S. economic statecraft to advance U.S. foreign policy priorities," including "American leadership in AI," a State...
“Deservedly brutal” takes on the new Obama Presidential Center” compare it to a garbage can or the Death Star, but to UnHerd’s Ryan Zickgraf it’s most...
One of the most prominent spreaders of anti-Zionist propaganda and misinformation about international law is Mayor Mamdani, author Natasha Hausdorff writes.
Washington made a bet. Force hospitals to post their prices, the theory went, and a real market would form and pull costs down. Five years on, the files are posted. The market never formed. Prices never fell. The disclosed data now run to enormous scale. Yet when researchers examined the posted files, they could not […]
The sacred rituals of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints were once as secretive as the Skull and Bones. White-shirted missionaries knocked down doors across the Third World, Book of Mormon in hand, but the logistics of what came later were largely kept a mystery to outsiders. Closed-door “endowments” with hands appearing behind […]
Call me Ahab. For those of you unfamiliar with Scripture (my fellow Catholics are excused here), the first Book of Kings tells of King Ahab, who married Jezebel and led a sinful life, which triggered a devastating drought in Israel. Though my wife is no Jezebel, and I rule no land but my own suburban […]
The Gaza war may have ended, but the genocide libel marches on. That libel, the false accusation that Israel and Diaspora Jews perpetrate genocide against others, allows anti-Zionists to invert the Holocaust, erasing Jews’ Holocaust victimhood and bestowing it upon Palestinians. And given this libel’s ubiquity, it’s worth understanding the libel’s origins, why it was […]

My father didn’t yell. He didn’t come in hot. He didn’t throw things. He was quiet. And that calm, yet tense demeanor paired with a look of disapproval was the closest I ever felt to awaiting a prison sentence. He looked at me the way a man looks at something he built and is not […]
My father, Jimmy Lai, was born in mainland China to a well-to-do family shortly before the communists came to power. When they did, he and his family became the enemy of the people. His father fled to Hong Kong in search of better opportunities, leaving his family to fend for themselves. Meanwhile, my grandmother was […]
