Pride Month is off to a faltering start again this year as yet another red state ditches the month-long celebration of LGBT depravity in favor of family values. Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) signed a proclamation last week declaring June to be “Fidelity Month” in her state. “The United States of America was founded on the […]
More than a dozen state attorneys general (AGs) met with Vice President J.D. Vance at a Tuesday meeting of the Trump administration’s anti-fraud roundtable, but not one of them was a Democrat. “Democratic AGs were invited to that same meeting, and it won’t surprise you that none of them attended,” declared Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall (R), […]
LONDON/DUBAI, (Reuters) — The United States and Iran have reached an agreement to extend a ceasefire, allow shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and lift a U.S. blockade and some sanctions on Iran, sources told Reuters, but the deal has not been finalized.

President Ronald Reagan signed a little-heralded executive order in 1981 that fulfilled his campaign promise to appoint men and women who were “meaner than a bunch of junkyard dogs” to the 33 then-newly created posts of Inspectors General (IG) to fight waste and fraud in major federal departments and independent agencies. “We are going to […]
When federal prosecutors finally brought down Al Capone, it wasn’t for murder, extortion, racketeering, or the violence that defined his criminal empire. It was for tax evasion. The charge was real. The conviction was legitimate. But no serious student of history believes tax evasion told the whole story of Capone’s criminal empire. It was simply […]

In his seminal work “The Politics of Nonviolent Action,” political scientist Gene Sharp cataloged 198 methods of nonviolent action. Wherever tyranny existed, the American scholar found a hopeful and creative form of civic resistance emerging from diverse populations.

Despite volatile approval ratings and an on-again-off-again conflict with Iran, President Donald Trump is still working hard to deliver on his promise of restoring safety, security, and sovereignty to the American people by driving out the illegal immigrant population — and steamrolling those who try to stop him. ‘Restoring Integrity to America’s Financial System’ In an […]
Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Beijing Tuesday seeking a “no-limits” endorsement of his energy ambitions — but left with little more than handshakes and a sharp reminder that even the closest partnerships have strict boundaries. While Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping put on a high-profile show of unity for the international community, the […]
President Donald Trump still holds tremendous sway over the Republican Party, as Tuesday night primary elections in Alabama, Georgia, and Kentucky demonstrated. In Republican races, Trump-backed candidates either won their primaries or advanced to run-off elections, in some cases ousting longtime incumbents with a national profile. Here are the top takeaways: Alabama Outgoing Senator Tommy […]
It has happened. The memory and pain of several Cuban-American families in Florida may finally find justice starting this Wednesday, May 20.

Congressional scrutiny into the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) continued Wednesday with a hearing of the full House Judiciary Committee focused on “The Southern Poverty Law Center: Manufacturing Hate.” The SPLC faced initial scrutiny in December from the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, but the hearing before the full committee came weeks after the U.S. Department of […]
I first heard the term “estática milagrosa” (“miraculous stasis”) from a friend of my wife. The young woman — an architect — had worked for an urban heritage conservation office in Cuba, and she marveled at how the mansions, buildings, cinemas, and theaters of the once-Parisian Havana refused to collapse. Humidity might burst the dowels […]
In deep-blue California, Republican voters are turning out in droves while their Democratic counterparts are lagging behind historical trends. According to numbers from the research firm Political Data Intelligence (PDI), Republicans make up more than one-third (37%) of returned mail-in ballots in the primaries ahead of November’s midterm elections, up by 11% from the same point in […]
