The April 28, 2025, blackout that disrupted life for millions in Spain and Portugal and caused widespread chaos was the result of a sudden loss of 15 GW of power; about 60% of Spain's national demand.

Clearly, the Trump haters were way more enthusiastic than the Trump supporters.

Every example of death-by-illegal-immigrant should be hung around the neck of every Democratic Party candidate running for office.

The SNAP program needs to be completely revamped. It is riddled with fraud and abuse, and it hurts the very people it is intended to help. There's no "dignity" in obesity, malnourishment and chronic illness.

Be warned that although Mayor Zohran Mamdani brings lots of fresh new ideas about ways to spend money, it won’t be nearly enough to carry out rosy Big Apple promises which apparently brought him election victory.

You want to win Hispanics? Speak our language — literally and figuratively. Talk about the grocery bill that's doubled, the mortgage rates that make it impossible for our kids to buy homes, and the cultural insanity that's attacking our faith and our children.

The shutdown was the tip of the iceberg when compared to the long-term fiscal crisis looming over the United States. We have a national debt exceeding $38 trillion and a Social Security Trust Fund on track to be depleted in the 2032-2033 timeframe.

China produced 57 million metric tons of pork in 2024. It still could not satisfy domestic demand. To feed its livestock, China must import more than 100 million metric tons of soybeans every year, which represents roughly 60% of all traded soybeans globally.

Democrats have spent years trying to link Trump with Epstein's criminal sexual abuse of minors, and they have failed. Years after Epstein's 2019 suicide, including four years of Democratic control of the Department of Justice, there's still no there there.

We're supposed to believe in free markets, not socialism. This is supposed to be America, not Uganda, Algeria, India, or the Tower of Babel. More than a century ago President Theodore Roosevelt warned America about immigrants who refuse to assimilate.

Christian villages are wiped out overnight. Churches are torched. Priests are executed for their faith. Over 62,000 Nigerian Christians have been killed since 2000, an atrocity the mainstream media barely acknowledges.

Let's keep the economy on an even keel. Americans of all economic levels should insist that Congress make the small increase in payroll taxes needed to protect monthly benefits, protecting the Social Security that is nearly everyone's main asset.

Most folks are specifically focused on behavior and not the meaning behind it. If we stay focused on behavior, there is no room for understanding and compassion; there is only room for misunderstanding, rage, and hurt feelings.

By using dubious legal workarounds to bring a growing number of illegal immigrants onto Medicaid's rolls, leaders in states like California, Illinois, Colorado, and Oregon are moving the program in the wrong direction.

Much like our failed social experiment in marijuana, which commenced in earnest with Colorado's decision to legalize recreational use in 2012, America's experiment in legalized sports gambling has not gone well.

Just as we contrasted President Trump's record of success vs. Biden and Harris, we can do that again with the Schumer Jeffries Mamdani big government socialists.

Mamdani must engage with business leaders, corporations, and taxpayers who fund the budget that drives our city, showing respect. New York is more than 400 years old and will endure long after Mamdani's brief tenure. If he fails to respect this remarkable opportunity, it's his loss.

Weakening Iran's ruling clerics and supporting a viable democratic alternative would deal a significant blow to the Iran-Russia-China alignment, disrupt Tehran’s proxy architecture, and reduce the long-term cost of containing a hostile regime with nuclear ambitions.

The skies are not too safe, the air is not too clear, the food supply is not too clean, and we need a government that works, not one that is shut down while the girls and boys fight it out politically.

New York has nearly 150 neighborhoods, a mere 16 spearheaded Zohran Mamdani's narrow victory in the city’s mayoral election on Nov. 4. Only one in five registered voters chose Mamdani.

AI-powered technologies are touting benefits like medication reminders, fall detection, remembering appointments, and more, with a hope to promote independence, simplify communication with caregivers, and to combat loneliness.

The Democratic claim that the party leadership was so heart-broken by the pain the missed paychecks were inflicting on federal workers is absurd.

We don't need term limits on service. We need term limits on ego. Because public office isn't supposed to be a career. It's supposed to be a commitment.

Gone are the days when tools of trade for basic white-collar-adjacent jobs were only taught at colleges. Most blue-collar jobs now require high comfort levels in use of digital tools, similar competencies one needs at entry level white-collar jobs. It's time we accept that fact.

The BBC has succumbed to the same disease infecting so much of the global media: leftwing political bias.

DSA's policies reflect a visceral hatred for the free market, and conversely, a worship of government. This inevitably leads to food shortages, black markets, and Soviet-style oppression.

Bank of England darling and WEF high priest, Mark Carney is more serious than predecessor Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. He has taught Canadians a lesson that property rights mean nothing.

Democrats working to resist and obstruct the enforcement of our immigration laws, are reminiscent of Southern segregationist Democrats who vigorously opposed, obstructed, and attempted to nullify the implementation of federal anti-segregation law.

Democrats: Join Republicans and open the government. Republicans: Join Democrats, negotiate the details, and Make Health Coverage Great Again.

The general, erroneous perception seems to be that building effective defensive systems quite affordably possible three decades ago now would be enormously expensive, if they are at all possible. Really?

After decades of doomsday sermons, manipulated models, and taxpayer tithing to the "Green Church," the mask is off. The climate crusade was never about saving the planet. It was about controlling the people, all of us. Environmentalism became Marxism with a recycling bin.

Financial finagling, whether in the form of 50-year mortgages or tariff stimulus checks, isn't the answer, a rebirth of industry, enabled by American energy, is what the nation needs.

The Congress can no more delegate to the president the power to tax than it can the power to prescribe punishments for federal crimes.

The tragedy is that so many practitioners of public relations, the very craft of persuasion, have become the chief architects of deception. What was once the art of credible storytelling has, in too many hands, devolved into a carnival of contrived synthetic sincerity.

The regime in Damascus is far from secure. Its rapid transformation, from a jihadist movement to a partner of the West, carries deep internal risks. It could provoke ideological fissures among Islamists.

Caution is warranted. When renovations change the character of historic buildings too dramatically, they risk eroding the intangible qualities of place that foreign dignitaries note: elegance, proportion, legacy.

Positive childhood experiences, including states of mind and being such as supportive parental relationships, very good health, as well as consistent religious attendance, were strongly linked with higher levels of hope during adulthood.

History will remember Donald J. Trump not just as the 45th and 47th commander in chief, but as one of our nation's greatest defenders of freedom. Mount Rushmore awaits him.

IVF, a widely used yet costly fertility treatment, was a key topic during the 2024 election cycle. A single IVF treatment cycle can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Many couples often require more than one cycle for a successful pregnancy. Help is on the way.

Emergency bills move fast, face weak scrutiny and become irresistible means for unrelated projects or those that Congress would never approve otherwise.

It’s time for a complete and total shutdown of China-linked research partnerships, technology infiltration, and influence operations. Call it extreme — but appeasement has failed. Every day we wait, the red hand reaches a little deeper into America's institutions.

Lessons from Israel, and Ukraine, have proven that modern air wars are not won solely by $20-million tanks or sophisticated fighter jets. Full spectrum air wars now include fleets of small, intelligent, and relentlessly adaptive unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), "drones."

From the prophets to the apostles to the church fathers, those who have taken Scripture seriously have affirmed this truth: God's dealings with Israel reveal his character. To deny that is to question the reliability of God himself.

Neighborhoods are populated by new ethnic voters, Hispanics from Central and South America, Southern Asians and Middle Easterners. There is also a contingent of young white college-educated voters who have rejected center-right views. They have self-confidence that borders on arrogance.

No doubt, Big Tech will marshal their resources to fight authorities, as they have before, but regulators can, and should, use this moment to carefully examine mergers in the entertainment industry that will have an impact on free speech.

When the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act came up again in the House in 2003, Pelosi again voted against it. But that year, then-President George W. Bush signed it into law.

A Mamdani victory will ignite wholesale legislative attacks on property owners, charter schools, law enforcement and businesses all across New York state.

The New York City mayoral election is a choice between two choices: bad and disastrous.

Of the many, many people who talk to me about "The Peace" and "The End of the War," I have to say that the vast majority of them are wrong. They don't understand the dynamics of the very complicated situation President Trump threw himself into and the success that Trump accomplished.

Trump's fusion of business techniques with statecraft turned deal-making into a bold vision. Egypt's el-Sisi called it "the last chance" for peace in the region. In the complex environment of the Mideast, that is quite an achievement. Trump would call it "historic." He'd be right.

When a movement begins to confuse outrage with courage and prejudice with patriotism, it loses its soul. To celebrate Tucker Carlson in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death is not a tribute to Kirk's ideals; it's a betrayal of them. Freedom of speech is not freedom from moral responsibility.

Wastewater monitoring allows us to monitor wastewater in sewage facilities, track infectious diseases such as measles and pathogens in our water, and measure their spread across the nation to monitor any potential outbreak.

There was a moral opposition to the Vietnam War and a moral basis for racial equality in the Civil Rights movement. Today's urban divisiveness and violence is greater than in the 1960s, yet there is not a clear moral basis behind today's street warfare.

Backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, Mamdani's platform reads like a manifesto, not a municipal plan: abolish the police, cancel rent, redistribute wealth, and fundamentally remake New York’s economy and institutions.

The documentary, directed by Michael Pack, has been powerfully fitted tongue-and-groove-style from war correspondent photos, bodycam footage, and subsequent interviews of the vets. Unlike earlier wars, the images are crystal clear.

Despite being grounded in the Western tradition (one that frankly should be expected in the formation of intelligence professionals loyal to America), IWP graduates are often immersed in nations whose values are fundamentally opposed to ours.

The legal profession has had decades to police its own excesses and has chosen not to. If lawyers won’t act, lawmakers must.

America must accept reality. Strength deters evil. Accountability constrains aggression. Sentiment alone has never disarmed Hamas or restrained Iran.

We don't want to encourage investors to seek safe harbor in risk-free investments. The millionaires and the billionaires are the people we do want to take risks with their fortunes. We want them to discover and seed-invest in the next Microsoft or Google or Walmart.

The days of Democrats using government as their own political slush fund needs to end now. The case for more and bigger government has been discredited. America's big government expansion has totally and completely failed. Propping up failure is unacceptable.
