Ottawa is clutching its pearls. Washington just put 50 percent on about $20 billion of Canadian goods. Wine. Cement. Hockey sticks. Furniture. Dairy. The list is long and it does not care whether the shipment qualifies under the trade deal. Canada calls it an outrage. Then it prints a matching list for September 8 and […]

The Treasury secretary did not whisper it. He said it on camera at the finance ministers’ meeting. We know where the Revolutionary Guard’s accounts sit in the British Virgin Islands. We know the trust companies. We know the hundred-million-dollar houses. We are going to freeze them. That is not a think-piece. That is a targeting […]

For half a century the foreign-born line on the chart only went one direction. Up. Then it broke. The government’s monthly household survey put the foreign-born population at a record 53.3 million in January 2025. That was 15.8 percent of the country, higher than the old peaks in 1890 and 1910. By June it was […]

Friday at City Hall. Twenty-five years almost to the day. Two executive orders. One makes September 11 a citywide Day of Remembrance and Service. The other updates the city’s emergency plans so the government still functions the next time someone tries to knock the place down. The mayor signs. He hands the ceremonial pen to […]

There is no framed parchment at the Pentagon that says “you hit one of ours, we hit two of yours.” There is a practice. It is uglier and more useful than a slogan. If they shoot, we shoot more. If they tap a base, we take the radar, the boats, and the launchers that made […]

Where It Started The first Labor Day celebration happened on September 5, 1882, in New York City, organized by the Central Labor Union. About 10,000 workers marched from City Hall up to Union Square, took an unpaid day off to do it, and then capped things off with a huge picnic, concerts, and fireworks in […]

The 20th century’s most consequential political engineering may not have come from politicians, but from two extreme-left Marxist theorists writing in prison cells, cut off from any immediate hope of influence. Antonio Gramsci, imprisoned in Mussolini’s Italy, spent his final years (1929–1935) working out why the revolution Marx predicted never arrived in the West — […]

How a campaign-funded dossier, an FBI informant operation, and a secret case on the president came together. The 2025 and 2026 document releases do not invent a new plot. They put names, dates, signatures, and money on a story that had already been told in pieces. Crossfire Hurricane was an FBI investigation opened on a […]

The socialist platform is not a rumor and it is not a vibe. It is a document. They titled it “Workers Deserve More.” Their own co-chair sat on national television in late July and answered yes, one after another, to the parts that sound like a prank until you realize they mean it. Abolish the […]

The White House dropped a ten-count list this week. Not a vibe. Not a speech. A voting record. Ten times the other party put the faction ahead of the country. You can argue tone. You cannot argue the roll calls. Here is the list. Replicated. Checked. No poetry required. Ten Times Extreme Liberal Democrats in […]
