    Canada Should Warm to Trump’s Arctic Plans
    President Donald Trump’s Arctic strategy has been 500 years in the making. When Christopher Columbus set sail across the Atlantic in 1492, he intended to find a direct path from Europe to Asia. He didn’t, of course—but the first transatlantic explorer to sail under an English flag, John Cabot, tried again a few years later…

    In Homan’s Hands, Could Minneapolis Become Model for How Trump Deals With Sanctuary Jurisdictions?
    Border czar Tom Homan has arrived in Minnesota to oversee the immigration enforcement operation there and “hopefully” pioneer a model that the Trump administration could use in other sanctuary states, an immigration expert explains.   Minnesota is a “sanctuary state,” according to the Department of Justice, meaning state and local law enforcement do not cooperate with federal immigration officials. Homan arrived in Minnesota…

    Trump Is Making the Right Call in Leaving the WHO
    On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order initiating the United States’ withdrawal from the World Health Organization, the United Nation’s agency charged with supporting global health. Last week, he finalized that action, ending all funding, personnel support, and formal engagements.   Trump’s action is hardly precipitous. In fact, when…

    Dems Slam Trump for Family Separation … and Family Preservation
    President Donald Trump is the most powerful man on Earth. World powers bow down before him. But the one thing that he cannot do is make his Democrat-Left critics happy.

    Protest Culture Is Annoying and Un-American
    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., likes to argue that the “whole point” of protesting is to make people “uncomfortable.” Debate. Dissent. Running highly misleading political ads on TV. These are all part of our great tradition of political discourse. In this, as in so much else, the Democrat darling is incorrect. Taking to the streets to…

    ‘Rugged Individualism’ Leads to Community
    The most fertile soil for collectivism is isolation. During his inaugural address, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said, “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Many people have skewered the second part of that statement—and rightfully so. For those who’ve endured it, the warmth of collectivism feels like…

    In Real Life, There’s No New ‘CBS Newsmax’ Under Bari Weiss
    The leftists on social media have hilariously caricatured CBS News under new Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss as “CBS Newsmax,” like it’s lurched dramatically to the right. But if you’re monitoring CBS in real life, there’s plenty of evidence that “classic CBS” is still operating. In recent days, CBS has proven to be worse than ABC and…
