Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced sweeping new visa restrictions targeting individuals complicit in cybercrime, online investment scams and sextortion.
At its peak, the Netroots Nation conference was a must-attend event on the Democratic Party presidential campaign trail. In 2007, it hosted a forum featuring Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, Barack Obama, and Bill Richardson. In later years, Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Kamala Harris (D-CA), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Elizabeth […]
President Donald Trump‘s sweeping victory in November was thanks in large part to building a campaign founded on fighting for the forgotten men and women of our country. Trump promised to look after families, and since Inauguration Day, he’s worked tirelessly to fulfill his promise to drive down skyrocketing prices. However, one of the biggest […]
In an odd social media clip that begins with two married women sexually objectifying a priest, Lila Rose, a Christian conservative and ostensible proponent of marriage, provided better anti-marriage propaganda than radical left-wing feminists or the marriage-hating manosphere could ever dream of concocting. “That’s just a cultural narrative that basically says, ‘Men are like animals; […]
When Congress passed the Export Control Reform Act in 2018, the intention was to prevent advanced technologies with military uses from falling into the hands of enemies. Under President Donald Trump, export controls serve a different function: they give Trump leverage over private companies. Microchipmaker Nvidia reportedly won a license to export some of its […]
Before Vice President JD Vance and his family took their summer vacation in the Cotswolds, they spent the weekend at Chevening, a country house in Kent, as guests of Britain’s foreign secretary, David Lammy. At their press conference, Lammy wore the petrified expression that all foreign dignitaries don when they are bracing themselves for ad-libs […]
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is so often the villain in the story of American politics. Sometimes, he is censoring social media at the behest of a political party. Other times, he is planning on solving male loneliness by getting people hooked on fake virtual friends. Sometimes, he is even daring to provide schooling to children. That is the latest controversy Zuckerberg […]
The Second World War ended eight decades ago this summer. But its specter looms large today. The war ended empires, upended the global order, and changed the course of the 20th century. Eighty years later, it still has much to teach us. World War II is passing into memory. This is the last major anniversary […]
A year ago, when the cultural “vibe shift” was still just a subterranean tremor, a liberal writer noted that woke inanity was a much bigger problem for liberals than conservatives. For a conservative who lived in a conservative place and didn’t work for a woke corporation, the argument was that the odds were small that […]
There is a chart that the Democratic Party-aligned Brookings Institution loves to put out after every presidential election. It shows the “candidates’ share” of “GDP by county” for the most recent election. Right on schedule, just days after then-candidate Donald Trump beat Democratic rival Kamala Harris in 2024, Brookings published the latest version of its […]
Within just two weeks of launching a patriotism-themed join.ICE.gov website, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been flooded with over 100,000 applications to help the Trump administration enforce our nation’s immigration laws. This ICE recruitment boom is part of a larger pattern of interest in serving the nation, particularly among young men filling security, law enforcement, […]
Brace yourselves, I’m going to “kink shame.” Though it might feel good in the moment, tying your commitment-phobic boyfriend to the bed is not appropriate sexual behavior. Such is the lesson of Oh, Hi!, an off-kilter romantic comedy that may well be the most outrageously entertaining movie of the summer. A story of desire, frustration, […]
Every year around this time, from about the age of 7 until I was 21, older people asked me the same question: “So,” they’d say with a genial chuckle, “are you ready to go back to school?” I haven’t heard that question in about 39 years, but this week I heard it again for the […]
In Scoop, Evelyn Waugh’s great satire of journalism in general and foreign correspondents in particular, newspaper magnate Lord Copper sends a reporter to the African Republic of Ishmaelia to cover the crisis unfolding there. “We think it a very promising little war,” he declares. “A microcosm, as you might say, of world drama.” Phoebe Greenwood’s […]
When I was in fifth grade, I aced the Presidential Fitness Test. Not because I was some athletic prodigy — I was a large child who’d later become a big man — but because we had a pull-up bar at home. My parents had installed it in a doorway, and like my 5-year-old daughter today, […]
