Six days after the commencement of Operation Epic Fury, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to announce, in the context of the ongoing joint American-Israeli military campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran: "There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" In the same post, the president seemed to equate such "...Read more

It was recently reported that the wife of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Rama Duwaji, had liked Instagram posts celebrating the mass murder of over 1,200 innocent Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, 2023, and other similarly themed posts, including one calling the rape of women on that day a "hoax."

"Hegseth spent $93 billion in one month -- roughly the cost of extending the ACA tax credits for THREE YEARS. But instead of lowering Americans' healthcare costs, Hegseth used millions of taxpayer dollars on fruit baskets, Herman Miller recliners, ice cream machines, Alaskan King Crabs and a Steinway & Sons grand piano. A true grifter in every...Read more

On March 7, two teenaged Muslims were arrested for lighting and throwing improvised explosive devices at an anti-Islam protest outside Gracie Mansion, the home of New York's Democrat Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

This provided the latest exhibit of how our elitist media seek to protect Muslims from the "Islamophobia" of conservatives. It's fascinating ...Read more

As Donald Trump's Republicans look askance as he launches what looks to some like another long-term war in the Middle East, and as the anti-Trump Democrats hold up Homeland Security funding in what looks to some like prioritizing illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens, one is tempted to ask, what's going on with America's political parties?

Donald Trump has always been the anti-Obama.

He rose in opposition to President Obama and has reversed many of his Democratic predecessor's policies. But perhaps no Trump undertaking runs more directly counter to Obama's approach than the Iran War.

Obama sought to accommodate the Iranian regime, while Trump hopes to topple it.

Obama ...Read more

During the first Trump administration, the FBI quietly spent $5 million on Pegasus, an Israeli-developed software product known generically as zero click. Zero click permits the user to download the contents of another mobile or desktop device without tricking the user of that device into clicking on a viral link.

Will President Donald Trump's war against Iran, undertaken in alignment with Israel, prove to be an electoral albatross for Republicans in November? Could Democrats, salivating at the prospect of impeaching and removing Trump from office in 2027, regain control of the House and Senate, fueled by the political repercussions of this war?

Wherever you look in American politics right now, you'll find legislators saying the government still doesn't tax enough -- especially when it comes to the wealthy. California progressives are pursuing a wealth tax on billionaires, advertised as a method to raise $100 billion in a single stroke. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is pushing ...Read more

The University of Notre Dame generated plenty of headlines recently -- most of them critical -- when it named political science professor Susan Ostermann to lead the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies in the Keough School of Global Affairs. While no one challenged Ostermann's scholarly bona fides, Catholics around the country were ...Read more

Ten days ago, the Trump administration decided to win a 47-year-long war waged by Ayatollah Iran against America and -- at various times -- two dozen other nations.

In 1979, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's radical minions toppled the Shah and seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran, holding American diplomats hostage for 444 days.

Seizing an ...Read more

If you've been following coverage of the Trump administration's military action against Iran, you've probably noticed something: A lot of people are determined to convince you that the United States is losing.

They're wrong.

Even worse, many of them know they're wrong. Critics across the political spectrum -- from Democrats to elements of ...Read more

In 2024, for the first time in almost a century, the United States spent more financing its national debt than it did, as a percentage of GDP, on national defense. In 2024, interest on our national debt expenditures came in at 3.1% of GDP and defense spending at 2.9%.

This has been the case through this year, although it's too soon to say ...Read more

It's not just California and New York. All across the nation, blue states are committing political and economic suicide by targeting millionaires with high taxes. Who will suffer most from this misguided, ideologically driven push to punish the wealthy? Wage workers and the poor.

Leftist Democratic pols calling for states to tax the rich are ...Read more

"My child can't read!"

That's become a common complaint from parents.

Why? It might be because kids are distracted by social media and video games.

But I think it's also because reading instruction became lazy and political.

"Progressives" at teachers' colleges pushed a reading technique called "Balanced Literacy."

Instead of memorizing ...Read more

Department of Homeland Security deportation officer Terrell Dillard presented an affidavit this month in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

Part of it described what Miguel Abrajan-Morales, a Mexican national, did in 2016 -- when then-President Barack Obama was responsible for securing our borders.

"On or about ...Read more

When Republicans have strong majorities in a state legislature, our national media often find their actions nationally controversial on issues like guns or transgender advocacy or DEI. When Democrats are dominant, the national media are fine with it. That's just comforting business as usual.

In Virginia, with a Democrat majority in both houses ...Read more
