President Donald Trump and a who’s who of political leaders returned Tuesday to the Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, better known as the National Cathedral, for the funeral of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham. The service reaffirmed something many Republicans seemed ready to abandon only 18 months ago: The National Cathedral remains […]
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised Monday that his city-owned grocery stores would offer high-quality fresh produce and other basic groceries at prices guaranteed to be 30% lower than those at surrounding privately owned stores. But before New Yorkers start counting their potential savings, they might want to look at Chicago, where a similar […]
Four Jewish bar associations demand Zohran Mamdani correct the exclusion of Jewish members from his 19-person judiciary advisory panel in New York City.
To understand why liberals continue to dominate American culture despite being bludgeoned in the political arena, consider two recent creative properties. The first is Good Night, and Good Luck, the Broadway play starring George Clooney. It tells the story of the 1950s Red Scare and the media’s opposition to Sen. Joe McCarthy. Good Night, and […]
Juneteenth traces to Union Gen. Gordon Granger’s June 19, 1865, order freeing Texas' remaining slaves. But let's not treat black history and black life...
Considering that Republicans cannot even unite to kick criminal illegal aliens off Medicaid with President Donald Trump‘s One Big Beautiful Bill, the notion that the president’s party would dare to reform the rest of the entitlement Leviathan is laughable, let alone the idea that Democrats even consider our fiscal trajectory a bad thing. But despite […]
In November, Californians voted overwhelmingly to strengthen penalties for criminals. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is still trying to undermine that effort. Over 68% of California voters supported Proposition 36, which increases penalties for felony drug dealers, serial shoplifters, and smash-and-grab thieves. Newsom opposed it because, despite his attempts to paint himself as some pragmatic centrist, he is a liberal ideologue who believes […]
Events are moving fast. Seven days ago, as I write, Israel had not yet launched its first attacks on targets in Iran. Seven days from now, things may well have changed — significantly. In such times, a historian’s perspective may be helpful. Fortunately, the two most eminent English-language historians (pace, Tucker Carlson) have weighed in […]
“CLOWN RUNS FOR PREZ” blared the New York Daily News headline on June 17, 2015, after Donald Trump announced he was running for president. For the next 512 days, the Daily News and almost every other legacy media outlet viciously attacked and ridiculed the real estate mogul while predicting over and over that he would […]
Solar stocks plunged on Tuesday after the Senate released its version of what President Donald Trump has called the “big, beautiful bill.” While some anti-growth carveouts remain, one of its strongest reforms is how it begins to unwind former President Joe Biden’s green energy subsidies. This shift marks a long-overdue correction, ending an era where […]
Former President Barack Obama‘s former adviser, David Axelrod, tried to jab at President Donald Trump‘s foreign policy yesterday but ended up throwing his old boss under the bus. “Amazing that in a matter of days we’ve gone from ‘this is not our operation’ to ‘we own the skies over Iran,’” Axelrod posted on Tuesday. “With […]
It’s common nowadays for the rich and famous to debut a new face, similar to how a young starlet would show off a glitzy designer gown. Celebrities are known for nipping and tucking their way to physical perfection, whether it’s an appearance on a red carpet, a new album or movie launch, or a way […]
Since taking office in January, President Donald Trump has shown the European Union the cold shoulder. He is right to do so. Europe’s position on trade is unreasonable and destructive. Unlike other U.S. allies, it shows no sign of backing down. Until it does, Trump should not give EU lawmakers the attention they crave. Nixon […]
The late Shah of Iran was forced into exile by the Islamic Revolution on Jan. 16, 1979. On Feb. 1, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned to Iran from his exile in France and proceeded — as Lenin did when the Kaiser’s Germany injected him “in a sealed truck like a plague bacillus … into Russia,” […]
The tragic, politically motivated assassinations and attempted assassinations in Minnesota over the weekend have horrified the nation and prompted bipartisan condemnation. In the aftermath, Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who was former Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, has spoken beautifully about the evils of political violence, but some serious soul-searching must follow if his […]
