Trump didn’t really turn his back on NATO, but he rightly decided not to let Europeans take the lead on NATO policies while simultaneously weakening their own militaries. Ever since the end of the Cold War, the United States has tolerated the systematic demilitarization of NATO countries. When Russian tanks were trained on Germany, that...
Bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for them. How good are the Iranians at dodgeball, anyway? They may be about to find out, according to Reuters. According to an Iranian diplomat attached to the talks, Iran may be ready to walk away from the table and call Donald Trump’s bluff. But it’s...
Peace talks between Ukraine and Russia have once again resulted in no substantial changes. Moscow has refused to support a ceasefire despite pressure from President Trump. The second round of peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Turkey once again did not yield any ceasefire results on Monday and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated his...
I don’t know. I just think this guy deserves a little more attention than he’s getting. I mean, he’s awfully cute and perky for a socialist. He sure doesn’t have a problem screwing with other people’s money. And his name – Zohran Mamdani – catchy as all get out, no? Check out his latest ad...
Unfortunately, Raskin was not arguing that people really need to learn to use their guns against terrorists more quickly and with deadly accuracy, which is the lesson that any normal human being would have to stop crazed Islamist terrorists from setting Jews on fire. Instead, he really went on television to argue that the attack...
So when will the Protection Racket Media report on the motive? Most outlets had tied themselves in knots to avoid the obvious conclusion from the video evidence. Will a Mirandized confession change the usual “we may never know” narrative? Or will the admission from the perp himself prompt national media outlets to start ignoring the...
A couple weeks ago David wrote about a piece that appeared in the NY Times about boys falling behind girls in a number of different metrics including education. Over the weekend the Times published a follow-up looking at one of the reasons boys are struggling in school. The gist is that the gender gap in...
It says a lot for German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius that he is still in the seat after all the uproar with the German government changeover and the constant tension between new Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s fragile coalition and the now ever-present number two party in the country, the outcast Alternative for Germany (AfD). With Merz’s...
Last week World Boxing, the organization currently recognized by the Olympics as the governing body for boxing, announced a new policy. Any female boxer whose sex is challenged will have to undergo a PCR test to verify their genetic makeup, i.e. a chromosome test. In addition to rolling out this new policy, World Boxing specifically...
Alex Thompson tried to explain away left-wing media bias last week on a Free Press podcast with Bari Weiss as part of his two-week long tour with Jake Tapper to promote Original Sin. It wasn’t ideological bias, he wants you to believe. Oh, sure, there are people within the Manhattan-Beltway media complex who are Democrats,...
By now, we all know that British culture is in rapid decline. There really is no other way to put it. Once the home of the Enlightenment that birthed liberalism–freedom of conscience, religion, and the sovereignty of the individual– it is now reverting to the sort of religious persecution that dominated the island after Henry...
In countries with a parliamentary form of government, those who have an office of president as part of that system can find that whoever fills that office can gum up the Prime Minister’s government and their plans. That is precisely what the European Union and the Polish government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk are holding...
If Democrats truly have a leadership crisis, as this weekend’s CNN poll suggests, they seem blissfully unaware of the reasons why. The reaction by practically everyone on the Left to the terror attack in Boulder offers a clear demonstration. Our friends at Twitchy have curated some of the weak and ambiguous statements following the arson...
If Bibi Netanyahu had been allowed to destroy Hamas as quickly as possible, the Gaza war would be over, and reconstruction of Gaza would be underway. Anybody who has studied war knows that the cruelest form of war is a prolonged one. A short, brutal war is far superior for all involved than a long,...
Bad leadership? Dragging on all of the most important issues with voters? Impotent? If those applied to the Republican party in a nationwide survey at any time, the results would get screamed in the headlines, or at least in the lede of the report from the media outlet that commissioned the poll. Instead, CNN led...
