Taking Venezuela’s Oil: Nullifying the Claims of American Companies

Given Trump’s tirades about Chávez’s theft of American property, it’s worth spotlighting the cynicism.

Oman played both sides — until it didn’t. How a secret shipping deal ignited the Strait of Hormuz

Oman’s strategy of calculated neutrality has run out of road. Long celebrated as a quiet diplomatic bridge between Washington and Tehran, Muscat has shattered its careful balancing act. A desperate attempt to revive a paralyzed shipping economy has transformed Oman into a central participant in a military conflict between the United States and Iran. The […]

Chuck Schumer’s shutdown agony

If you listen carefully, you can hear two distinct sounds — one of anxiety, the other of laughter — coming from Washington, D.C. Each is muffled but not very well. The first is of timorous Democrats promising to keep the federal government shut until Republicans add $700 billion more to the national debt. They want […]

Obama’s ugly center is a perfect symbol for his presidency

Repulsive, costly, and damaging to the lives of everyday people could describe the Obama Presidential Center or former President Barack Obama‘s presidency. Several recent updates have come through about the Obama Presidential Center, and none of them appear to be good. For one, the project was dreamed up with a $300 million price tag, but […]

Sorry farmers, Trump’s tariff revenue is already spoken for

President Donald Trump‘s unilateral imposition of the steepest tariff regime in about a century has not caused the dramatic increase in excess inflation expected by more Keynesian economists. Neither have the tariffs decimated our economic growth, thanks to Trump’s tens of billions of dollars in savings just in deregulation. But Trump is rediscovering the fact […]

Why is free trade good for Gaza but bad for the US?

It hit me last week that almost no one in the administration truly believes in tariffs. Not, at any rate, as a serious policy. The only real enthusiast for them is President Donald Trump, and he plainly does not understand how they work. Everyone else goes along with him for reasons of cowardice or careerism, […]

The loss of civility and the Ryder Cup

Despite a near-heroic final-day rally, Team USA was soundly beaten by Team Europe in the Ryder Cup at Bethpage State Park outside of New York City. The final margin of 15-13 doesn’t tell the real story of what a lopsided match it was. No one on Team USA played poorly, but Team Europe seemed well-prepared […]

‘He was allowed to be in there,’ the perverted poster boy of gender ideology

Richard Cox is a 58-year-old repeat Tier III sex offender who spent the second half of 2024 prowling female locker rooms in northern Virginia, where he would ogle schoolgirls and expose himself to bystanders. Fairfax County, where Cox exposed himself repeatedly last year, never prosecuted him because, as the police chief put it, “The policy […]

Dirty virgin drinks

If you had school children at home in the spring of 2020, you likely had to think about what sort of liquids you consumed throughout the day. Stuck at home with a job, housework, and pseudo-homeschooling to do, it may have occurred to you that you could hit your liquor cabinet, wine rack, or beer […]

The Democratic Party’s war on California farms

“In the west, whiskey is for drinking, and water is for fighting,” the saying goes. And in California, the wealthy coastal elites that dominate the Democratic Party have been using water to beat up rural farming communities for decades. The latest casualty in the Democratic Party’s war on farmers is the residents, most of them […]

The talented Mr. Roberts on ICE

Democrats tell us that illegal immigrants are not allowed to work, vote, or collect Social Security. Yet somehow an illegal immigrant managed to become the superintendent of Iowa‘s largest public school system. He was also registered to vote in Maryland. The arrest of Ian Roberts by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at the end of […]

Transanity is a class issue

J.K. Rowling has become the entertainment world’s favorite villain for her recent advocacy against the United Kingdom‘s legal war on sexual dimorphism. Haters have derided the first-ever author to become a self-made billionaire as a product of privilege, but harkening back to her working-class roots, Rowling took to X to remind the world her advocacy […]

Big Tech’s mea culpa exposes the Left’s selective outrage on free speech

Picture this: It’s a balmy June evening in 2020, and across the pond, two sharp-witted British comedians, Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster, are wrapping up a no-holds-barred interview with the journalist Peter Hitchens. The topic was the unfolding “virus farce,” as Hitchens called it, with its endless lockdowns, mask mandates, and a societal freakout that […]

After Gaza

The Trump administration’s 21-point plan to end the Israel-Hamas war is detailed and reasonable, apart from proposing that Tony Blair become the emir of Gaza. It lays out clear steps from deconfliction — Hamas releasing the remaining Israeli hostages, the Israeli military withdrawing — to the economic, social, and ultimately political reconstruction of Gaza. The […]

Why are we outsourcing our children’s education to headhunters?

ERIE, Pennsylvania — Late Wednesday evening, the Millcreek Township School District in Erie County issued a statement noting they may file claims against Ian Roberts and the search firm used during his hiring process, saying they “were incensed by the progression of media reports that have been revealed in recent days regarding former Superintendent Ian […]
