Gulen was born in April 1941 in Turkey and rose to prominence as an imam and teacher in the jihadist Sufi neo-Ottoman tradition, closely aligned with the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Expanding catastrophic coverage, empowering patients to control their health spending, and tackling distortions in federal payment policies would move the system in a more competitive and affordable direction.

The geopolitical contest for the Caucasus is intensifying. Iran's actions have created new uncertainty, but they have also clarified the strategic importance of the region's emerging trade corridors. China sees both the risks and the opportunities.

A massive military arsenal is no match for our enemy's fanaticism. Military superiority could lead Trump to over-confidence and his administration to ruin. The solution is for Trump to abandon regime change as his goal and focus on denying Iran the ability to spread terror.

President Ronald Reagan observed that "every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face."

The cleanest solution to the Iran quagmire, and the one that most clearly fulfills Trump's "unconditional surrender" victory criterion, is indeed full-scale regime change. That is certainly the outcome that would be best for the neutralization of the Iranian threat.

"The Bride!" is no isolated agenda-ridden film. It's the latest in a string of politically-charged missteps that have alienated mainstream viewers and consequently tanked at the box office.

A majority of American voters support the use of U.S. military force to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons. An even larger majority believes that once the United States has taken action, it should see the effort through and eliminate the threat permanently.

The problem is not that the government collects too little. It's that the government spends too much.

Often times, we live in a bubble. I understand that there are valid reasons to object to the U.S.-Israel attack against Iran. But ultimately, it's a narrow global perspective. Put another way, those who think this attack is wrong are wrong.

Electricity demand is exploding, especially in rural America. Under the direction of this new Trump board, the entity is once again capable of navigating the power and transmission needs of the valley.

Mamdani is demanding that Gov. Kathy Hochul, D-N.Y., and the state legislature raise taxes on corporations and the wealthy to close the gap. New Yorkers should expect Governor Hochul to be a political milquetoast.

"Operation Epic Fury" is not Iraq 2.0. It's an attempt to lay closure to a 47-year stalemate . . .  before it becomes something far worse. Sometimes the choice is between prolonged instability and decisive prevention.

It's vitally important that American citizens vote to keep Republicans in the majority in the House and Senate during the midterm elections.

In this nation's capital, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.,  has taken an adamant stand against the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, aka the SAVE America Act.

The left would like to convince the public that the American dream has been replaced by a socialist fervor. It hasn't.

China is relying on coal to power its AI buildout, having commissioned more than 50 new large coal plants last yea. The U.S. can't afford to lose to China in the race for AI, and Americans shouldn't have to pay for the cost of tech companies' green virtue signaling.

If sanctioned oil can keep moving through global markets, the geopolitical leverage those sanctions are supposed to create may prove to be little more than a fiction.

The Strait of Hormuz is not merely an energy chokepoint. It's an aluminum chokepoint. And until policymakers act accordingly, the global economy will remain one escalation away from a metal shock few have adequately prepared to absorb.

This primary election might demonstrate that being a Kennedy means that you can be completely shameless and still get elected by Democrats. Or this will be another sad chapter about how the Kennedy magic isn't working with voters.

If Mamdani truly cared about people in need, the poor, homeless, hungry, mentally ill, etc., he would establish programs to help them rather than showboating an impossible, unnecessary policy solely to garner publicity for himself.

The world has witnessed the near-total destruction of Iran's military infrastructure and the dismantling of its nuclear ambitions. Iran's naval power, missile systems, communications networks, and much of its air-defense have been devastated.

Cuba is overdue for a profound change, and U.S. President Donald Trump is determined to bring it about. Cuban officials have seen just how far the Trump administration is willing to go.

The agencies charged with protecting public health, particularly those housed under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), are increasingly paralyzed by internal dysfunction, political infighting, and a culture that rewards delay over decision-making.

AI has the potential of recreating the world as we know it. Do we have reason to believe that a man-made machine creator will lead humanity to Utopia? Scripture warns, "The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied." (Psalms 16:4).

Either we raise, and value, strong, decent, principled men who live by and preserve Judeo-Christian cultural norms, or we will find ourselves at the mercy of strong but unprincipled men who will exploit our weaknesses to destroy our most important institutions.

King Hussein enjoyed a great relationship with American Presidents. He was a staunch anti-communist, worked with the U.S. to advance the Arab-Israeli peace process, and was a trusted ally. His son, King Abdullah II, is carrying on that tradition

After Butler, he appears to be a leader liberated from caution, sharpened by mortality, and focused not on survival but on legacy. For 47 years, American policy treated Tehran as a problem to contain, while Iran built power through Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and Shiite militias.

It's now more than ever mandatory we remember that since 2006, the Iranian regime has funded and directed a beyond staggering wave of terror globally.

Success in foreign policy in giving rebirth to a free Iran, combined with success in domestic policy areas would assure the Trump presidency a preeminent place in history. All of which would be fitting for this year’s 250th anniversary of America’s Founding in 1776.

When a politician makes his religion a central aspect of his public persona, yet pursues policies that inherently contradict his faith, it raises serious questions.

Populations that have been calm explode into rage when they see that the United States and especially Israel attack anywhere in the Mideast, irrespective of whether a Shiite or Sunni country, and the country under attack rises up and starts to succeed in counter attacks.

Clearly, the left will not relent in the pursuit of their agenda and defiance of the law. So, the battle must rage on in the courts and at the ballot box as we remain ever vigilant in protecting our fundamental constitutional rights.

A nuclear armed Iran would cause geopolitical consequences too terrible to contemplate, whether one is a Christian Zionist who supports Israel or "simply" a person who cares about the national security of America and other nations with regards to Mideast oil.

Left adherents prosecute, burn buildings, riot, defame, dox, impeach, imprison, fine, sue and execute. Conservatives shy from such things. Perhaps this is why we're losing - as targets and victims of lawfare, and losing the culture war. 

An extraordinarily positive development over the last three decades has been the rapid growth in major conservative media outlets, which have shattered the reprehensible monopoly of the Democrat-aligned left media.

Every generation of Americans needs to know that freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought. We should all pray that the people of Iran will soon experience the blessings of liberty, righteousness, and self-determination.

While voters rejected climate extremism at the ballot box, the climate activist movement didn't abandon its agenda, it simply changed venues. Americans have already rejected their agenda once

The cartel-driven security crisis in the Western Hemisphere is no longer a law enforcement challenge. It is a national security threat, and it must be treated as one.

History doesn't remember partisan maneuvering. It remembers leadership. What the United States does now will be measured globally

Only hours into a war that many argue has lasted decades, there is little information presented to indicate whether the most consequential decision of the Trump presidency is trending to a great victory, or a trap to ensnare a noble agenda.

The danger. 32% of Republican voters would be less enthusiastic about voting in November if GOP leaders abandon anti-abortion policies.

Modern national security is no longer confined to military strength. It is defined by economic sovereignty, industrial capacity, supply chain control, and currency credibility. At $38 trillion in debt, America does not have the luxury of ignoring warning signs.

One of the most persistent, and pernicious, myths being bandied about in the debate over how to achieve some peaceable resolution to the violence induced by radical Islam in Gaza is the proposed "panacea" of "de-radicalization" of extremist Islamist elements.

Chips are not bombs. They' re tools of economic scale, standard-setting, and technological influence. Characterizing them in such apocalyptic terms misunderstands both how innovation spreads and how global power is exercised in the modern economy.

Market volatilities reminded us that financial systems are only as strong as the physical assets underpinning them. Such strategic assets and the robust financial system of the United States will work together to transform uncertainty into dominance.

Women of Iran want to breathe. That is anathema to the Islamic Republic. The regime needs to go. It was gauche to even talk of its removal under your predecessors, President Trump. No longer.

For many Jewish Americans watching those games, pride ran deeper than sports. Our community continues to write new chapters in the American story. Their goals were a powerful reminder that Jewish resilience and American greatness are intertwined.

The Derrick. In a less than a month, it will be gone. Its passing will likely draw less attention than the jobs recently cut at The Washington Post, or the positions eliminated at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. It's part of a crisis no one seems able to solve.

Even before 2019, the United States spent more on healthcare than any other country. Healthcare remains the largest and most troubling cost driver.

There is only one solution to keep peace. The West must discredit and defeat the Russian imperial project and its policy of revisionism. For lasting peace, it must try to greatly moderate and restructure the widely shared Russian political culture of imperial fantasy.

In the SOTU, I anticipate Trump will lay out ways to work with Congress to enact bipartisan tax and deregulatory policies that will keep the momentum going to lower prices. Charting the path forward is critical, but we should take a moment to cheer the progress.

If the United States falls behind in emerging technologies, it will not be because Americans lacked the talent to lead. It will be because we allowed unelected elites to decide its limits.

Striving to be better and even the best is a good thing. However, if you over compete with yourself, in other words, never experience that wonderful feeling of doing great but keep demanding more and more — then that is profoundly unhealthy.

Until now, the broadcast industry, following the FCC's lead, had taken the position that talk shows, like news shows, were exempt from the "public interest" requirement that stations must give rival candidates equal opportunities to buy time and appear on TV.

Trust is not built by telling stories that are easy. It's built by telling stories that matter, especially when they are complex, uncomfortable, or politically inconvenient.

Making everybody heirs of everyone could create new problems or intensify old ones. Entering the U.S. illegally would become even more attractive. We might need to require a few years of residence before immigrants can inherit. And one way or another, we would need to get control of the borders.

Running to the cameras and trashing President Trump and his team will always get you face time on the legacy media.

Does anyone think there would be such a national outcry against ICE by these and other noted Democrats, their left-wing comrades and mainstream media bedfellows if most of the protesters and the criminals they were defending were Black?

The one sliver of good news is that it appears the climate change neuroses have finally started to subside. We've reached peak global warming craziness in the U.S. Even Europe seems to have turned its back on its economically masochistic net zero fossil fuels obsession.
