It is not difficult, these days, to see the neo-communist flipside of “Democratic Socialists” — once they find power. NYC Democratic Socialists (NYC-DSA) hold a rally, marking the start...
President Donald Trump undermined his Ukraine peace agenda during meetings with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday. The two leaders shared warm pleasantries and suggested looming agreements on trade, tariffs, and the future status of a British territory in the Indian Ocean heavily relied upon by the U.S. military. However, there was no agreement […]
Republican politicians have faced the same fundamental dilemma for decades: how to make pro-life voters cheer while giving them next to nothing? President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance mastered the move — and it accounts for no small part of their larger political dominance. Consider the events of last week. On Tuesday, Trump […]
Former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline was obvious during his presidency to anyone who watched him, except apparently to liberal journalists such as CNN’s Jake Tapper. Tapper is releasing a book coauthored with Axios’s Alex Thompson called Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. The press release for […]
With Chicago facing a billion-dollar deficit this year and Mayor Brandon Johnson sporting a 6.6% approval rating, the Windy City has decided to quadruple down on its profligacy. By a 26-23 vote margin, the City Council approved $830 million in new borrowing through a truly bonkers bond scheme that would defer paying down interest for […]
There’s some small evidence that lefty media lapdogs have been shamed or scared out of overt political comissarism like that. But as Trump’s second term...
Jeff Bezos, the billionaire Amazon founder and owner of the Washington Post, made waves this week when he announced the paper’s editorial page will be taking a new direction. “We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets,” Bezos said in a note sent to staff on […]
New York Times columnist Ross Douthat did not write his new book Believe for me personally (that honor appears to belong to The Atlantic’s Derek Thompson, who is mentioned in the introduction), but it is at least written for people like me. “I am a believing Christian,” Douthat says, explaining his motive for writing the […]
Having taken over the Kennedy Center as chairman of the Board, President Donald Trump intends a major cultural retrograde. His Christmas improvement — “a big, huge celebration of the birth of Christ,” per new Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell — has many questioning whether this is not just a MAGA approach to the same event. […]
The U.S. House of Representatives passed its budget plan on Feb. 25. The vote was 217-215, with all Democrats voting against the bill along with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY). With the nominations and subsequent resignations of former Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Mike Waltz (R-FL), Republicans have their smallest House majority since 1931. Rep. Elise […]
Iran is conducting a campaign to extract sensitive U.S. data and use it to harm Americans and our allies, and policymakers are not doing enough to stop it. President Donald Trump‘s Feb. 4 executive order ordering the government to start a robust campaign against Iran’s intellectual property theft is a good start, drawing attention to a serious […]
From Day One of his second administration, President Donald Trump made it clear that divisive diversity, equity, and inclusion policies throughout the government would be slashed. Many of the loudest voices you’ll hear on TV say this approach is a threat to people of color. To be clear, DEI is not Civil Rights 2.0. It […]
Hamas slaughtered 1,200 Israeli civilians on Oct. 7 and then ran to gullible left-wingers across the globe to whine about Israel daring to retaliate. Now, Hamas is launching propaganda rallies as it hands over live and murdered hostages while Palestinians celebrate murdered babies. Through it all, countless Western politicians, media outlets, and global organizations have […]
The tragic aircraft collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Jan. 29 was personally devastating. Not because I knew any of the 67 souls lost that night or the first responders but because of the senselessness of it and the painful conclusion that it was predictable and preventable. I believe that because of efforts […]
