In 1815, with Commodore Stephen Decatur’s guns trained on his harbor, the Dey of Algiers signed a treaty with the United States, then told the Americans what he thought of it: My power has been wrested from my hands. Draw the treaty at your pleasure, and I will sign it. But beware the moment I […]
There was a time not too long ago when the relationship between Canada and the United States was positive and nearly impenetrable. Our two countries have been close friends, allies, and trade partners for many years. Canadian and American leaders have obviously had moments of disagreement related to trade, tariffs, border security, declarations of war, […]
If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, 2,000 years of Christian preaching would be in vain — and the world as we know it would look completely different. That is the central theme of Malcolm Muggeridge’s Jesus, the Man Who Lives, and it’s his strongest position in a book that contains many inconsistent […]
A woman looks back on how her younger self enjoyed the highs and endured the lows of first love. Her high school sweetheart was Ace, who was two years older than her and drove a Chevy convertible. Their English teacher, Mrs. Mint, flirted with him in class and often repeated that he resembled James Dean. […]
Leftist ideas of "equity" have done enough damage to our kids' education. It’s time for our schools to reestablish rules, order and accountability. Here's...
In a recent interview, former President Barack Obama offered an honest reflection about how progressives talk about boys and young men. “As ‘progressives, Democrats, progressive parents, enlightened ones,’ we’ve made that mistake sometimes in terms of our rhetoric, where it’s like we’re constantly talking about what’s going on with the boys instead of what’s right […]
Business in the House has come to a premature halt due to the negligent handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, but the Senate is scheduled to keep working for at least one more week. Even so, Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) should threaten to stay longer, canceling some if not all of the August recess […]
Some top Democrats finally are finding the courage to slam Zohran Mamdani’s sickening embrace of antisemitism. Sadly, the big Dems doing the right thing...
The National Museum of Natural History’s Hall of Human Origins vastly distorts the scientific evidence on human evolution, seeking to convince visitors there’s nothing...
The Supreme Court’s decision this week affirming the president’s authority to remove the head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission may not dominate headlines for long, but it could mark a turning point in the fight against the bloated, unaccountable administrative state. It’s clear the Trump administration is right to make reforming the CPSC, and […]
“I will not sacrifice my child for this world,” declares an impassioned Sue Storm, both superhero and new mother (in the superhero industry, maternity leave is evidently scant), in one of the emotional high points of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Marvel’s much-anticipated franchise revival. After a lackluster Phase Five — marred by formulaic, forgettable […]
Whether you live in Livingston or Conroe, the last four years brought unprecedented economic pain to Texas families. Gas prices reached a record-breaking $4.68 per gallon in 2022, while diesel topped $5.23. At the grocery store, Houston-area families faced inflation rates of 10.2%, well above the national average. Economic hardship wasn’t the only challenge facing […]
President Donald Trump gave Vladimir Putin a chance, but he has proven once again he is a war criminal and a ruthless tyrant, wholly uninterested in ending his brutal invasion of Ukraine. That’s why I commend the president’s decision to call out Putin’s “b*******” and rearm Ukraine. Back in the day, I had the privilege […]
