The House could soon be forced into another tit-for-tat cycle of members attempting to discipline each other by forcing votes on the House floor — and derailing GOP leaders' control of the chamber. A massive wave of Democrats have called to formally censure Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) and remove him from his committees over a...
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) on Saturday criticized Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) for mocking Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) experience as a bartender. Luna wrote on the social platform X that while she does not often agree with Ocasio-Cortez, to “knock her or anyone for being a bartender is not a ‘hit,’ it’s tone deaf." “Plenty...
The State Department on Sunday issued a warning to U.S. citizens in certain parts of Mexico to shelter in place until further notice on account of "ongoing security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity." The regions listed in the advisory include the Mexican states of Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacán, Guerrero and Nuevo Leon. The warning came after...
In just 11 months, our nation has gone from stagnation and atrophy to experiencing over 4% growth in gross domestic product, with trillions of dollars lining up to expand advanced manufacturing in America, and an astounding drop in energy prices, especially in red states, that will save American households over $11 billion in 2026. These […]
Iran’s clerical tyrants are as different from Mark Twain as it’s possible to imagine. But since they toppled the shah in 1979, they might often have echoed him, saying, “reports of our death are greatly exaggerated.” As Iranian popular protests multiply and grow into their third week, it is devoutly — if that’s the right […]
Following the Trump administration’s clampdown on Afghan immigrant visa processing, new developments may have left U.S. allies with no further hope of accessing the Special Immigrant Visa program. Shawn VanDiver, president of #AfghanEvac, told me that as of the start of the year, he is aware of more than a dozen visa applicants who were denied from […]
While you were sleeping off your residual New Year’s hangovers the first wee Saturday hours of 2026, President Donald Trump started his military decapitation of Venezuela’s communist dictatorship. And while you were still sleeping, the president ended it, seizing and arresting accused criminal drug trafficker Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia in fewer than 2 […]
Seattle has a new socialist mayor and new progressive leadership, which means there will be a lot of well-meaning disasters and misplaced priorities that make life in the city worse, especially when it comes to the criminal justice system. Seattle already had its first debacle of the year with a change in directives on how […]
The shooting death of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, could have been easily avoided. Instead of telling his constituents that the state of Minnesota was at war with the federal government, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) could have cooperated with federal law enforcement. Instead of banning federal agents from city property and accusing Immigration […]
The U.S. government saw a problem. The U.S. government spent 20 years creating a solution to that problem at a significant burden to the people. The U.S. government made certain that this burdensome solution in no way solves the problem. This story, which has probably played out a thousand times in the last century, is […]
Twenty years ago, I spent a couple of weeks in Afghanistan with Britain’s Royal Marines. Operating largely under British command in Helmand was a Danish contingent made up largely of special forces. The Marines had nothing but praise for their Danish allies, who were in some of the toughest firefights and who suffered the highest […]
“We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism,” socialist New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani pledged in his inaugural address. Etymologically, “collectivism” has its roots among late-19th-century Marxists. The collectivists were the ones who ran the gulags. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn will tell you there was nothing warm about the winters in Ekıbastūz. […]
Gov. Tim Walz’s (D-MN) announcement that he will no longer seek reelection this fall was characteristically unimpressive. Yes, he recited a statement that included the words, “the buck stops with me,” which offered a patina of personal responsibility for the outrageous fraud scandals over which he’s presided as Minnesota’s chief executive. But the phony mea culpa […]
If you were hoping to watch the NFL Wild Card Weekend playoff game between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears, and you were not already a member of Amazon Prime, you were out of luck. Amazon paid a reported $150 million for the rights to that one playoff game this year. This is […]
