An armed assailant lunged at the Democratic candidate for Ohio governor, Amy Acton, on Sunday during a campaign stop at the Canfield Fair, injuring several people, campaign officials said.
President Trump on Sunday posted a map of New Mexico labeled "New America" following the spread of a since-debunked online hoax claiming he had signed an executive order renaming the state. The map Trump shared on Truth Social showed a large "X" over "Mexico" in the state's name, with the word "America" labeled below it....
Washington, D.C., is such a hyperpoliticized city that it is nearly impossible to govern. A Washington Post/Schar School poll found that 79% of the district’s residents oppose President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown in the city. The share of people who said they feel “very safe” in the city has risen from 26% in May to 39% now, with 78% of the […]

For too long, America’s veterans have been caught in a system that talks about gratitude but delivers red tape. The Department of Veterans Affairs was supposed to offer world-class care. Instead, it’s been stiffing the very doctors and rehab specialists who make that care possible. I’ve seen it firsthand. A trusted San Diego rehab facility […]
There was a sweet naivety to President Donald Trump’s comments about getting into heaven by forging peace in Ukraine, and a disarming humility. It was very un-Trump-like. “If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed … I want to try to get to heaven if possible, I’m hearing that I’m not doing […]
Media fact-checkers self-immolated their credibility when they conspired with Biden government bureaucrats to suppress questions about the possible lab leak origins of COVID-19, the efficacy of masks and social distancing, and vaccine side effects. As Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) observed, we need new conspiracy theories because “all the old ones turned out to be true.” […]
A judge in Bogota found former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe guilty of bribery and procedural fraud late last month. While the details are complex, the case against Uribe follows a troubling pattern we’ve seen across the region, where legal systems are used to destroy political opponents and criminalize dissent, disproportionately targeting conservative leaders.

If the poll is accurate, here are three […]
