Policymakers in Washington and Seoul rightly suspect that by the 70th anniversary of Korean-American relations, the agenda for the two nations is way more than just wrapping up the aftermath of the Korean War. No two countries have benefited more from the world’s free and open spaces than South Korea and the United States. This…
Strong communities and families, well-paying jobs, and industrial power—those are three key foundations to America’s success, according to Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. America was at its best when it had all three, but “all of them have been undermined,” the Florida Republican says. According to Rubio, after the Cold War, America’s leaders thought all nations…
The tide appears to be turning against radical gender ideology in a big way. Just this Saturday, a transgender cyclist won a North Carolina race by more than five minutes. Retired tennis star Martina Navratilova said of the result: “What a joke.” A joke, indeed. It seems many Americans agree with Navratilova. A new Gallup…
Chief Justice John Roberts famously wrote in a 2007 case: “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.” He was exactly right in saying so in that Supreme Court decision in Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1. Too bad…
As CNN looks for a new leader, then-CNN host Brian Stelter proposed this as the most important question: “What should an anchor do when a guest says something untrue?” The public could turn this question around: “What should a politician do when a CNN host says something untrue?” The Stelters of this world cannot imagine…
George Soros is an evil man. In fact, he is one of the most evil men currently shaping American and Western politics, and global events more generally. To straightforwardly opine in this manner is not to traffic in antisemitism or noxious Jew-baiting. It is simply to share one’s perspective about one of the most influential…
Planned Parenthood’s 2021-2022 annual report is out: Taxpayer funding is at an all-time high and abortion remains a key priority. Meanwhile, visits for actual health care—like cancer screening and prevention services and prenatal care—continue to decline. The abortion giant has also been diversifying its portfolio of services, trying to corner the market in so-called transgender…
People visiting Washington, D.C., this weekend probably expected to see a white house on Pennsylvania Avenue. Instead, the president’s residence was plastered in rainbow and transgender colors, an over-the-top display of the current resident’s LGBTQ fixation. It was a stark contrast to the mood in the rest of America, where the fury over “Pride” displays has…
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak—the U.K.’s third prime minister in the past year—visited the White House on Thursday in his first official trip to the U.S. This is the fourth time that Sunak and President Joe Biden have seen each other in the past four months. But familiarity isn’t breeding much in this relationship. The…
Cars are already more expensive than they were three years ago, but if the Environmental Protection Agency under President Joe Biden has its way, we’ll be pining for the good old days of 2023. Imagine selective abortion meets “Grand Theft Auto,” as a Heritage Foundation scholar recently dubbed it. The kind of cars most Americans…
According to the Council on Foreign Relations, “the United States imports more from China than from any other country.” The total volume of imports in 2022 from China into the U.S. amounted to more than $536 billion, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported. The Group of Seven leaders in May issued a statement about…
For the first time in our nation’s history, a former president has been indicted by the federal government. And not just a former president, but the current front-runner in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. A federal grand jury in South Florida has returned a combined 38-count indictment against former President Donald Trump…
Harvey Weinstein must be kicking himself now for not identifying as trans. Because based on one federal judge’s decision, apparently it’s just fine to force women to see your penis, as long as you say you’re a woman, too. Forget #MeToo—we’re now in an era where not wanting to be around a naked person of…
Are you ready for the government to take away your car? New proposed regulations on automobile emissions from the Environmental Protection Agency would require 60% of new car sales to be electric vehicles by 2030 and 67% by 2032, compared to the fewer than 6% that were on the road in 2022—for no environmental benefit….
The Justice Department unsealed Friday its indictment of former President Donald Trump, currently the leading candidate to face President Joe Biden. The news elicited strong reactions from members of Congress and others concerned about the politicization of our justice system and the application of double standards in prosecutorial decisions. Recent revelations from special counsel John…
Seventy-nine years ago this week, the Allies assaulted the Normandy beaches on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Their invasion marked the largest amphibious landing since the Persians under Xerxes invaded the Greek mainland in 480 B.C. Nearly 160,000 American, British, and Canadian soldiers stormed five beaches of Nazi-occupied France. The plan was to liberate Western Europe…
President Joe Biden has been accused by a credible informant of allegedly taking $5 million in “a bribery scheme with a foreign national” while he was the sitting vice president. That seems like a pretty big story, but what do I know? Apparently, there’s a document laying out the accusation in some detail, and not…
ORLANDO, Fla.—A Christian group that sends Bibles to Eastern European countries has a report from the field: The war in Ukraine is a "spiritual war," and the Bible is bridging divides between groups that have hated one another for centuries. About 10 years ago, Ukraine came to Eastern European Mission and asked for Bibles to…
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held this week in Range v. Garland that the government cannot disarm people convicted of minor, nonviolent offenses. In doing so, it handed down perhaps the most significant Second Amendment victory since the Supreme Court’s landmark decision last year, where it held that Americans have a…
In the savagery of the jungle, the rule is “Eat or be eaten.” It seems that law of the jungle has made its way to college campuses. “At Oxford, students now live in fear – they think cancelling each other will help them get ahead” reads a headline from the British outlet the Telegraph, depicting…
