The Pentagon is looking into the leak of intelligence information related to an upcoming Israeli attack on Iran. It was America’s responsibility to keep the information safe, officials say. The leak likely has “deeply” damaged U.S.-Israeli relations during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, says Victoria Coates, Heritage Foundation vice president in charge of the Institute for…
A first-of-its-kind documentary for The Heritage Foundation is the culmination of years of work, scholarship, live events, and debates, highlighting the radical nature of the George Soros-inspired rogue prosecutors movement—and the dire consequences to the safety and security of the residents and businesses in the communities overseen by so-called progressive prosecutors. Told through the eyes…
Would you like those 19 electoral college votes for here or to go? This latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast” examines former President Donald Trump’s latest bid to win swing states like Pennsylvania by working at a local McDonald’s. While the Harris-Walz campaign and legacy media called Trump’s day serving fries a “fake,” the…
Hispanic voters are bolting from the Democrats faster than Kamala Harris can say “Latinx.” This is one of the most significant trends in this year’s presidential campaign. The growing discontent is a result of economic frustration as well as a broader cultural clash over values, as many Hispanics reject the Biden-Harris administration’s radical positions on…
The election is finally shaping up to be not only liberal Democrat Kamala Harris versus conservative Republican Donald Trump. Instead, it has become a larger contest between those who talk down to their fellow Americans and those who are increasingly sick and tired of being lectured. How smart is it, for example, for Harris supporters…
For Kamala Harris, failure is not an option. It’s a governing principle. President Joe Biden has delegated at least four key responsibilities to his vice president. On each one, she has belly-flopped hard enough to empty an Olympic swimming pool. Border Czarina “I’ve asked her, the V.P., today … to lead our diplomatic effort and work…
This November, education choice is on the ballot. Voters in three states—Colorado, Kentucky, and Nebraska—will decide Nov. 5 whether families should be able to choose the learning environments that work best for their children and have public funds follow their child. Two states are considering amendments to clarify that school choice is constitutional, while one…
Buenas tardes, señoras y señores. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is my first time joining Foro Madrid. I am honored. I bring you greetings from The Heritage Foundation and from our president, Kevin Roberts. You know, I used to criticize Barack Obama for his apology tours. That’s when he’d go around the world apologizing…
Dr. Eric Cubin, a Wyoming radiologist who was removed from the state Board of Medicine for supporting a bill restricting “gender-affirming care,” condemns the way transgender activists have taken over the medical establishment. “I think the magnitude of the scandal is unprecedented. It’s unbelievable,” Cubin tells “The Daily Signal Podcast” about the medical industry’s support…
A few months into Kamala Harris‘ 2024 presidential run, her handlers faced a dilemma. Should they continue cocooning the candidate or unleash her on the public? Both options came with serious political risks. Sure, Democrats could keep pretending Harris was a generational talent, but her refusal to sit down for an interview, much less give…
New research finds that approximately 41 million evangelical Christians won’t vote in the Nov. 5 presidential election, but that pastors can persuade approximately 5 million to vote just by urging them to fulfill their civic duty. As an evangelical Christian myself, I’d like to encourage my fellow believers to cast their ballots. I also ask…
We’ve heard it so often it has become a cliché: “This is the most important election of our lifetime.” But that doesn’t mean it’s not true. I believe it really is, for one overarching reason: It’s the only election we can affect. The outcomes of 2020, 2016, and all previous campaigns are now in the…
“I grew up in the middle class,” Vice President Kamala Harris says repeatedly to show that she understands what policies would best support the average American. However, Harris’ electric vehicle subsidies don’t help middle- and lower-income households; they go to upper-income households. It’s one of many hypocritical policies of the Biden-Harris administration. This year, the…
Immigration is a top issue for voters. Unfortunately, the real picture is obscured by several zombie lies—false narratives that are kept alive for political value. One is that the terrible “bipartisan” Lankford-Sinema Senate immigration bill that failed earlier this year would have done more good than harm. Another is that there is any serious “vetting”…
In an interview last month with talk-show host Oprah Winfrey, Vice President Kamala Harris once again played up her status as a gun owner, emphatically declaring: “If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot!” Let’s put aside the reality that her well-armed and taxpayer-funded security detail almost certainly would confront any would-be intruder long…
The United Kingdom’s Labor Party and Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign may be marching into the same legal jeopardy as the Australian Labor Party and Bernie Sanders’ campaign for president did in 2016: violating federal law that bans foreigners from financial involvement in American political campaigns. Various news sources report that Sofia Patel, head of operations…
It shouldn’t be considered incredibly brave for Vice President Kamala Harris to consent to an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News. JD Vance has been doing hostile Sunday shows for months while Harris resorted to the basement strategy. Then, once Team Kamala booked a “media blitz,” they bizarrely went on offense. Mediaite posted this…
Not everything significant politically is happening just in the target states. “Never seen anything like this in 30 years,” said California Republican consultant Mike Madrid in an X post, referencing the sharp increase in Republican registration among California’s minority voters, including the state’s numerous Latinos, growing numbers of Asians, and decreasing number of blacks. This…
On July 26, in the aftermath of the Democratic Party’s ruthless midsummer coup of its own democratically elected presidential nominee, this column predicted that the elevation of dimwitted cackler-in-chief Kamala Harris to the party’s presidential slot would “spectacularly backfire.” More specifically, I wrote: Practically, the path to winning 270 Electoral College votes still runs through…
Artificial intelligence technology is making its way into more areas of daily life. But there are still many unknowns about AI, including major legal questions about the ways the technology should be governed, and which AI-generated speech is, or is not, protected under the First Amendment. Generative AI, in its most basic form, is “trained on…
