DOES PROGRESS IN IRAN HELP TRUMP? We are now in the seventh month of the war in Iran. Midterm elections are 60 days away. The war remains unpopular, with about 55% of Americans opposing it. A larger number, about 60%, disapprove of President Donald Trump‘s handling of the war. The good news is that U.S. forces appear […]
Recent reports that Chevron and other U.S. energy companies are preparing major new investments in Venezuela should be viewed as more than an oil story. They are a reminder that one of America’s most consequential geopolitical competitions is unfolding much closer to home. For years, China and Russia have understood the strategic value of Latin […]
A year-and-a-half into the second Trump administration, an opportunity remains to resolve one of the most egregious policy hangovers of the previous era: a Biden-era COVID-19 regulation that has allowed dangerous abortion drugs to be sent through the mail. The rule has not only remained on the books but is the subject of a lawsuit […]
Democrats have run away from climate change as an issue, but some folks maintain that the doomsayers were proven right. “Climate models have been extremely accurate, even going back to the 1970s,” states left-of-center writer Noah Smith. Smith posts a chart showing what various climate predicted (red dots) as far as temperature increase, comparing that […]
Our nation’s schools spend a considerable amount of time thinking about what students see when they walk into their buildings. There are conversations about representation, inclusion, belonging, and identity, and most schools now understand that what hangs on a wall or sits in a lobby is not just decoration. It says something about the institution, […]
The snake-bitten leaders of the Smithsonian Institution on Monday forced a vote by their governing board of Regents to transfer a building on the National Mall to the controversial National Museum of the American Latino. It was, at best, a delaying tactic by a woke leadership trying to run out the clock on the Trump […]
Left-wing academics want to exploit the apparent suicide of disgraced Cambridge University professor Jason Arday to shield all other left-wing academics from any scrutiny over their shoddy academic records or fabricated life stories. The international scientific journal Nature joined in the chorus of blaming the media for Arday’s death, with an editorial titled “The death […]
President Donald Trump was elected with strong support from conservative evangelicals like me — and most of us praise God that he has so boldly defended Christianity. He’s turned the tide on unbiblical gender ideologies that led to men playing women’s sports and the mutilation of children’s bodies. He’s affirmed the dignity of unborn children […]
A new policy being pushed by Big Pharma giants could endanger Americans’ medical privacy, opening the door for hackers to access sensitive records. The push is part of an effort by drug companies to limit the financial impact of a federal drug discount program on their profits, but critics warn it could expose sensitive patient […]
The renewed controversy over the United Kingdom’s Falkland Islands territory is a tempest in a teapot. The Falkland Islands are well-defended, and President Donald Trump is highly unlikely to remove U.S. recognition of the U.K.’s sovereignty over them. In addition, while Argentina senses an opportunity to bolster its claims over the Islands, its means of […]
If the final polls are close to correct, Saxony-Anhalt will produce a startling result on Sunday. The Alternative for Germany, or AfD, could win 42% of the vote. That’s nearly twice the 22% projected for Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s Christian Democratic Union, yet the CDU’s Sven Schulze could remain minister-president. That outcome would be perfectly legal.
