President Donald Trump is heavily focused on dismantling what he regards as a so-called “deep state” of government agencies that work for their own partisan agendas. This concern is especially important when it comes to the intelligence and security agencies, where if malfeasance occurs, it undermines our democratic society. However, if Trump wants to take […]
Vice President JD Vance is in Europe this week for an AI summit in Paris and a security conference in Munich. Amid looming confirmation votes for Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., this may seem like a poor time for Vance, who would be required to cast a tiebreaking vote in the Senate, to […]

Consider Gaza: Thousands of Israelis and Gazans died in the war that erupted after Hamas […]
The Democrats’ resistance to President Donald Trump’s return has reached the point of madness. Already reeling from the deluge of executive orders reversing the far-left policies of the Biden administration, they lost all control when the U.S. Agency for International Development was exposed as little more than a global slush fund for progressive causes by […]
Fires require three key ingredients: an ignition source, fuel, and oxygen. Wildfires do not spontaneously combust because the planet is 1.2°C warmer now than in 1850. There must first be an ignition source. These can be natural, such as lightning, or man-made, such as fireworks, sparks, or arson. Ninety-seven percent of fires between 1992 and 2012 had […]
