ZOHRAN, BIG TISH, AND THE NEW RESISTANCE. This week saw the debut of a new alliance in the ongoing resistance to President Donald Trump. New York Attorney General Letitia James, already a hero on the left for the 2022 lawsuit she filed in an attempt to cripple Trump’s business empire, joined Democratic Socialist mayoral candidate Zohran […]
The Supreme Court just heard arguments in a highly controversial and complex case concerning so-called “conversion therapy,” when therapists seek to help a patient change his or her sexual orientation or “gender identity.” Thankfully, online political commentators and internet stars are treating the case with the nuance and thoughtfulness it deserves. Just kidding. Instead, they’re spreading […]
Shiri Bibas, 32 (murdered in captivity with her baby boy and toddler). Naama Levy, 21 (raped and held hostage for a year and three months in Gaza). Danielle Waldman, 24 (she and her boyfriend, along with three friends, attempted to escape the Nova Music Festival in a car and were riddled with bullets by Hamas fighters). […]
“The stakes couldn’t be higher,” Jay Jones, the Virginia Democrat running for state attorney general, said Monday in an X post. It was an ironic post, coming 10 days after National Review reported numerous violent text messages Jones sent to a colleague in the legislature about a Republican lawmaker. Jones fantasized about urinating on the graves of political […]
An examination of New York City Campaign Finance Board records revealed that mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s campaign accepted thousands of dollars in foreign donations, a violation of the city’s finance laws that could result in fines or imprisonment.

“Pro-Palestinian” activists have spent the last two years complaining about a fake genocide after Gaza started a war with Israel. Now that there is a ceasefire, those same activists have gone silent as Palestinians continue living under their real oppressors: Palestinians. Shortly after Hamas agreed to a peace deal with Israel, the terrorist group began executing Palestinians […]
President Donald Trump called for a review of the United States’s investment in foreign aid to ensure it supports our interests. A periodic review of this kind is valuable and necessary.

Gang warfare of a sort has burst into flames in the Gaza territories from which Israel withdrew military forces last weekend. Hamas immediately initiated a new round of killing to make sure everyone understands it’s the top gang. Its terrorists now roam the streets they’ve governed tyrannically for 20 years, hunting down rivals and murdering […]
American foreign policy is at a tipping point. President Donald Trump’s “America First” vision and the policies that flow from this have had mixed results on the international stage. For example, while some tariffs have resulted in seemingly prosperous negotiations and growing domestic tax revenues to trim down our budget deficits, others have pushed our […]
The Ivory Coast/Côte d’Ivoire is an African success story. Two decades ago, it faced civil war but emerged stronger than ever after one of the United Nations‘s only successful peacekeeping missions. Between 2021 and 2024, its economy’s growth met or surpassed 6%, far above the global average. As regional countries’ leaders fell to coups, religious […]
Talk about good timing. Antisemitism, an American Tradition, a powerful new book by American University professor Pamela Nadell, has just been published. The book comes at a time when certain sectors of America have become feverish with hatred towards Jewish people. Antisemitism, An American Tradition goes from colonial America to the modern day, offering a shameful history […]
Last week, Pakistani drones struck targets inside the Afghan capital of Kabul and at a bazaar in Afghanistan’s Paktika province.
