Iran Isn’t Winning—It’s Just Surviving (and Trump Knows It)

Iran’s Cash Cow Just Got Slaughtered by the Navy

The mullahs in Tehran spent years thumbing their noses at the world, pumping cheap oil to China while American taxpayers footed the bill for the sanctions theater that never really bit.

Wednesday’s California gubernatorial debateopens in a new tab in San Francisco laid bare the results of 16 years of one-party Democrat rule: sky-high gas prices, tent cities, crumbling roads, and declining public safety, paired with little more than excuses and fantasies from the candidates.

From Tip O’Neill to Chaos—What Happened to Democrats

The Factories America Forgot Are Suddenly Roaring Again

Hundreds of thousands of good-paying manufacturing jobs vanished under the last crew in Washington, shipped overseas while the so-called experts cheered “globalization” and told American workers to learn to code.

The Left’s Dirty Map Games Just Met a Massive Legal Buzzsaw

The credentialed gentry in Richmond just decided that “fairness” is a legacy concept, much like landlines or Kamala Harris’s political career. On Tuesday, Virginia Democrats shoved through a redistricting plan that turns one of the most balanced states in the Union into a partisan fever dream. They aren’t even pretending anymore; they’re carving up the […]

Kash Patel and the Russia Hoax Reckoning

FBI Director Kash Patel delivered a promise about the Trump-Russia collusion hoax on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo” that Americans have waited nearly a decade to hear. “We’ve got all the evidence,” Patel declared. “We’re working with our prosecutors at the [Justice Department] under acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, and we are going to be making arrests—and […]

The Border Kids Biden Turned Into Ghosts

Hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors poured across the southern border under the last administration. They came alone, often after brutal journeys controlled by cartels, and the people in charge acted like it was just another day at the office. Promises of compassion turned into a nightmare of neglect, exploitation, and vanishing children. What happened […]
