Is a New Season of Peace Settling in the Mideast?

Reported Changes at the IRS, if Accurate, Should Terrify Us All

Trivializing Genocide, Democrats Show Abject Ignorance

Trump Team Defied Conventional Wisdom, Brought Mideast Peace

Praise Trump for Mideast Peace, Not for Wars Waged at Home
Democrats are right to praise the president for the breakthrough, although a Nobel Peace Prize, which Trump covets, would have been strikingly premature. But it's hard to praise this president for anything when there is so much else going on that needs to end.
The Left Is Coming for Your Retirement
The Secure 2.0 Act, signed into law by then-President Joe Biden, was passed in 2022. The Secure 2.0 provision removes choice and seems more like a quick way for the government to collect taxes. This rule isn't just about taxes, it's about control.

War on Columbus Day Over Whether America Should Exist
Columbus Day is not meant to be a saint's day. Across the country, left-wing activists call for replacing Columbus Day with an "Indigenous Peoples Day." It's an ironic demand since the very notion of indigenous peoples only makes sense from a Eurocentric point of view.
Get the Facts on Israel Before Tossing Around Word 'Genocide'

When It Comes to Dividing MAGA, Anything Goes

Being Wise on China Doesn't Include Propping Up Defense Stocks

Mideast Peace: Hope for the Best, Plan for the Worst
