Opinion and commentary on news, politics, culture, and policy impact.
Iran understandably believes it is riding quite high. Biden put pro-Iranian envoy Robert Malley—now under FBI investigation—in charge of begging Iran to restart the disastrous Iran nuclear deal. The Islamist regime is flush with cash. It hints it almost has the bomb—and might use it soon. The Iranians are bragging about their new tyrannical allies…
Another day, another member of our esteemed intellectual elite goes on an unhinged rant about Israel and Jews. This time it was Jemma Decristo, a transgender African American Studies professor at the University of California at Davis, who decided to take to social media and advocate for violently attacking neighbors. Decristo’s post on Oct. 10…
This week, U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan, overseeing United States v. Donald Trump, issued a gag order prohibiting a leading presidential candidate, Donald Trump, from engaging in speech aimed at “government staff,” among others, during his trial. Listen, I understand the disdain some conservatives feel for the former president. I share the sentiment. But…
In Washington today, talking tough on China has become all the rage. Policymakers have begun offering eloquent speeches almost daily about the growing threat from the Chinese Communist Party. It’s commendable that politicians are finally talking the talk—but not nearly enough are walking the walk. That’s especially true of the Biden administration. Even as the U.S….
The Israel Defense Forces’ much-anticipated ground invasion of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip has not yet commenced, but the world’s attention has already begun to shift away from the single bloodiest and most catastrophic slaughter of the Jewish people since the defeat of Nazi Germany 78 years ago. The Oct. 7 Hamas pogrom, which featured the…
For Rabbi Scott Kahn, Oct. 7 was a holy day, the Sabbath. He went to an early morning service at his synagogue and standing outside for a moment, he saw something strange. “We suddenly heard booms overhead in our city of Ramat Beit Shemesh. So we looked up, and we saw smoke just randomly. It…
Earlier this week, two criminals carjacked New Orleans’ Soros-backed district attorney, Jason Williams, as he walked his 78-year-old mother to his SUV. Fortunately, both Williams and his mother are OK—aside from having guns shoved in their faces and being forcibly removed from their vehicle. But both experienced fear and other consequences resulting from Williams’ soft-on-crime…
House Republicans’ failure to elect a new speaker after Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s ouster two weeks ago has denied the House of Representatives—and by extension, the Republicans who control it—much of their power to govern. It also likely has denied them something else; namely, their place in the line of presidential succession. The Constitution anticipates unexpected…
Western media outlets reported on Tuesday night that Israeli air strikes had destroyed a Palestinian hospital, killing 471 innocent civilians. By morning, it was clear that every single part of that story was false. But that didn’t stop U.S. academics from serving as “useful idiots” for Islamofascism by spreading Hamas propaganda on social media. In…
Tehran has an endgame in sight: Use the Israel-Hamas war to establish Iran as a declared nuclear weapon state. The likelihood that Hamas orchestrated the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in Israel on its own is near zero. Hamas knew its military infrastructure and leadership would get hammered by Israel in response. The residents of the…
The horrific attacks in Israel committed by Hamas have spurred a fundamental revaluation of Palestinian policies by U.S. and Israeli officials. It has become crystal clear that control of the Gaza Strip cannot be left to a terrorist group whose stated purpose, as acknowledged by President Joe Biden, is “the annihilation of the state of…

Globally, 100 million girls are at risk of being forced into child marriage over the next decade, according to UNICEF. In certain parts of Africa and Asia, girls from minority religions face the added human rights violation of being forced to change their religion in conjunction with forced marriage. Those tragic experiences of girls as…
Online learning has revolutionized higher education, but a recent move by the federal Department of Education is threatening to tear down systems that are helping millions of students learn. An extremely wide diversity of students choose to take online courses or to get entire online degrees. Colleges that offer them need to be nimble as…
“Israel is a country who cherishes life,” Yael Eckstein says, “and our enemies know that.” Those enemies use that fact as a tool against Israel, adds Eckstein, president and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, who is today’s guest on “The Daily Signal Podcast.” Hamas killed 1,300 Israelis and took hostage…
Major businesses are moving away from requiring college degrees for an increasing number of positions. Instead, they’re focusing on applicants’ skills, experience, passions, and even their cultural fit. Fox News reports that companies such as IBM, Bank of America, Accenture, Walmart, and Google are reducing the number of corporate jobs that require a four-year college…
Another day, another black mark on the legacy media for promoting narratives rather than truth. On Tuesday, numerous media outlets reported that Israel bombed a Palestinian hospital. Did they actually see Israel strike the hospital and kill hundreds of people or confirm that it happened? No, they were just reporting it as if it were fact….
Pennsylvania’s Peter Brothers Trucking delivers goods all across America. Owner Brian Wanner says Pennsylvania bureaucrats now are driving him out of his home state. “We have no say,” complains Wanner in my new video. “We can’t do anything about it.” “No say” because Pennsylvania’s new rules don’t come from Pennsylvania. They come from California. “I…
Republicans have castigated President Joe Biden’s administration for freeing up $6 billion in funds for Iran’s Islamist regime, money that likely contributed to Tehran’s funding of Hamas, the genocidal terrorist group that slaughtered more than 1,400 Israelis and took about 200 hostage Oct. 7. Yet the Biden administration’s policies freed up far more than $6…
As if they haven’t done enough damage to the U.S. with their open-borders agenda, progressives now call for America to resettle Palestinian “refugees” from the Israel-Hamas war. Americans, including all rational leaders, must strongly and successfully reject this demand. Socialist leaders of the past would be proud of how the Biden administration has burned down…
