Poland’s house of cards

In Netflix’s House of Cards, Frank Underwood never storms anything. He has no use for tanks or mobs. He arranges things so that, when the moment comes, the rules themselves hand him power. Sworn in as vice president without facing a single voter, he turns to the camera: “One heartbeat away from the presidency and […]

I warned about Somalia in 1992. Ilhan Omar brought the quagmire home

The controversy surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) raises profoundly troubling questions about political accountability, immigration oversight, and the standards of integrity expected of those entrusted with public office.

Calls for chaos and disruption, along with accusations that President Donald Trump wants to “steal Election Day,” were key messaging points discussed at a training organized by left-wing activists last month to prepare for the 2026 elections. “Viva la revolution” and “it’s time to f*** s*** up” were some of the phrases uttered by those […]
