A just-released report from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Office of Inspector General confirmed what the American Securities Association has warned for years: The people with access to your most sensitive financial data cannot be trusted to protect it. A former SEC employee improperly accessed and shared nonpublic investigative information, the latest in a long […]
Germany has found a convenient way to cut healthcare costs: send the bill for medical innovation to the United States. Under a new policy, Germany will tighten its already aggressive controls on what drugmakers can charge for innovative medicines. The result is predictable: Germany will contribute even less toward the cost of developing new treatments […]
Americans frequently place house prices at the top of their lists of concerns when elections roll around. A new poll by the Hispanic Leadership Fund found that voters overwhelmingly want to kill fees associated with refinancing a mortgage. The poll, which the Washington Examiner can exclusively report, finds that 90% of voters support reducing title […]
I’ve spent 30 years managing money for wealthy families, and every one of those years I’ve operated under fiduciary rules that would land me in front of the Securities and Exchange Commission if I traded ahead of information my clients didn’t have. That’s not a courtesy I extend. It’s the law. So, when the House […]
It shouldn’t surprise you that Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new “help small businesses” plan won’t do much for what most folks think “small business” means....
This week, the president of Lebanon met at the White House with President Donald Trump to discuss the June security framework intended to systematically address Hezbollah’s military threat to Israel and ultimately demilitarize the group.

Having first met the late Sen. Lindsey Graham when he was a newly elected congressman in the Gingrich Revolution of 1994, conservatives knew this man from South Carolina was one of a kind. There was no doubt he was a Reaganite on foreign policy and had America’s enemies in his sights. From the get-go, his […]
The Constitution does more than protect individual liberties. It also carefully divides governmental power among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches while preserving the sovereignty of state and local governments. The Framers understood that liberty depends not only on protecting constitutional rights but also on ensuring that no branch of government exercises extraordinary authority longer […]
The Trump administration is weighing the next phase of its tariff agenda: a new round of Section 301 tariffs aimed at dozens of countries around the globe. These tariffs are timely, coming shortly after the Supreme Court terminated the previous tariff regime. However, there is reason to be concerned that these wide-ranging tariffs may extend […]
Some Google Search user in the European Union — call him Hans or Baptiste or Patrick — may soon find that intimate information about his life has arrived in the databases of the Chinese Communist Party. This European may fastidiously maintain his data-privacy hygiene and use every prophylactic available to the everyday user — but […]
Egypt fields roughly 40,000 troops across the Sinai Peninsula, nearly double the 22,000 limit established by the security annex of the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty. Zone C, the strip bordering Gaza and Israel, holds the bulk, backed by armored vehicles, Chinese air defenses, and upgraded runways at al Gora. Cairo calls the surge a “counterterrorism […]
For years, Reza Pahlavi has presented contacts inside Iran’s military and security establishment as a central pillar of his strategy for political transition. Rather than describing these as occasional anonymous messages, he spoke at various times of daily contact with military “representatives,” telephone calls, faxes, a secure defection platform, “large sections” of the security forces […]
Iran’s judiciary announced on Wednesday that it had executed 26-year-old Mehdi Khanaki, a law graduate accused of active participation in the nationwide January 2026 uprising and membership in what the authorities described as a “terrorist group.” The regime’s Mizan news agency did not identify the organization by name.

The war with Iran has acquired a possessiveness. It is President Donald Trump’s war, in the headlines and in the polling questions, the way Vietnam eventually became Lyndon Johnson’s and Iraq became George Bush’s.
