The word "badass" was bandied about a lot after the first assassination attempt on Donald Trump last year.

Famously, the bloodied Republican candidate raised his fist in defiance.

In a different context, the same pungent word applies to his 2 a.m. strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Trump the TV star has a knack for the theatrical and ...Read more

Say it out loud. Say it with pride. Repeat after me ...

The 2020 election was stolen.

I've known this for five years. You've known this for five years. I've said all along -- the key to President Donald Trump's second term is PROVING it. That is what just happened. The evidence has been found. What happens next will change everything.

For 20 years, President Donald Trump has maintained that Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon. Much of the Western world, from European powers to American presidents, has given lip service to that idea, but has done little to restrict Tehran's theocratic leaders from building a bomb.

Though Iran claims its nuclear program is only for civilian ...Read more

MAGA celebrity Charlie Kirk, attempting to balance support for the administration and appeal to online isolationists, maintains that the "regime change war machine in D.C." is pushing President Donald Trump into "an all out blitz on Iran." He's not alone.

The question is, what does "regime change war" mean in simple language? Does it mean, as "...Read more

The "No Kings" rally against President Donald Trump on June 14 featured several angry speeches from Democrats. Mediaite had this story: "Eric Swalwell 'Trump Is America's Hitler' Remark at Rally Sparks Viral Outrage." That gaseous D.C. speech was easily ignored by PolitiFact and those "independent fact-checkers."

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) ...Read more

Events are moving fast. Seven days ago, as I write, Israel had not yet launched its first attacks on targets in Iran. Seven days from now, things may well have changed -- significantly.

In such times, a historian's perspective may be helpful. Fortunately, the two most eminent English-language historians ( pace, Tucker Carlson) have ...Read more

We're used to thinking of Republican moderates as nice people from Blue states or swing districts, who speak in dulcet tones and oppose going "too far" on anything.

These politicians still exist, but the image of the Republican moderate is out of date. Think less of Susan Collins, the cautious Republican senator from Maine, and more of ...Read more

Has the United States become what President Donald Trump recently condemned? Can the president fight any war he wishes? Can Congress fund any war it chooses? Are there constitutional and legal requirements that must first be met before war is waged?

These questions should be central to a debate over the U.S. involvement in Ukraine, Gaza and ...Read more

Political assassinations are in vogue.

Over the weekend, Minnesota state Rep. and Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed in their home after a masked man disguised as a police officer convinced the couple to open their door. The arrested suspect, 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter, was a homegrown American. ...Read more

If you think federal regulators care about data-driven, evidence-based policymaking, a case currently before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit will leave you scratching your head.

The case involves a terrible Biden administration regulation driven by Big Labor. In defending this regulation, which mandates that crews on freight ...Read more

Women's basketball should dispel the tired platitude that the world would be a much kinder place if women ran it.

I just watched yet another video of WNBA player Caitlin Clark on the receiving end of inappropriately violent behavior during a game. This time, Clark's team, the Indiana Fever, was playing the Connecticut Sun. The Fever were up ...Read more

The Israel-Iran War Over Nuclear Weapons could end with a nuclear blast. Why have a reluctant Washington send two American B-2 stealth bombers each dropping a 30,000-pound (15-ton) Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) conventional bomb destroy Iran's buried Fordow uranium enrichment facility?

Israel has nuclear weapons, everyone knows that. One ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump sees what needs to happen in the Middle East as Israel and Iran take their decades-long war out of the shadows. Push for a ceasefire? Not really. "An end, a real end, not a ceasefire," Trump told reporters during an early return to Washington from the G7 meeting in Calgary.

Trump added, "a complete give-up...Read more

Per the U.S. State Department, in a statement issued in April 2025, "Iran remains the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world and has financed and directed numerous terrorist attacks and activities globally, through its IRGC-Qods Force and proxies such as Hizballah and Hamas."

On Sunday, Fox host Bret Baier interviewed Israeli Prime ...Read more

Pro-crime Democrats are propelling New York toward anarchy and financial ruin.

The seven candidates vying for the Democratic nomination for Gotham's mayor unanimously oppose increasing penalties for farebeaters. That includes frontrunners Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani. Their refusal to crack down on farebeaters -- all by itself -- ...Read more

Is your home your castle? Not when eminent domain law lets politicians confiscate your property if they claim it's for "public use." Politicians say they need the power to take property to build public projects like roads and railroad tracks. OK. Seems reasonable. But now, developers collude with politicians to use the law unfairly, to force ...Read more

Should parts of Yellowstone National Park -- or any national park or monument -- be sold so private homes can be built there?

Absolutely not.

But what about a very small fraction of the approximately 437 million acres of land controlled by the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service that is not part of any national park or monument?...Read more

The national media employ a long-held double standard on political protests. They boost left-wing protests regardless of crowd size and pretend they're not leftist. When conservatives protest, it's either ignored or it's treated as menacing, laced with a "dark undercurrent."

Saturday's nationally organized leftist "No Kings" protests against ...Read more
