The Venezuelan socialist regime held an “anti-fascist and anti-Zionist cultural tribune” on Monday afternoon – the anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attack in Israeli history – to express support for anti-Israel terrorism and “repudiate the 76 years of genocide” allegedly committed by Israel. The Venezuelan socialist regime, much like the other leftist regimes in the region, maintains an antagonistic stance against Israel that intensified in the wake of Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attack and the start of Israel’s self-defense operations against the jihadist group. Socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro is among the far-left leaders accusing Israel of committing a “genocide” in…

The Tariff Panic Returns Donald Trump’s recent tariff proposals—10 percent on all imports, potentially rising to 20 percent, and 60 percent on Chinese goods—have set off an all-too-familiar panic among the trade globalists. In the fevered imaginations of Trump’s policies, tariffs threaten to bring global trade to its knees, provoke retaliatory measures, and hit consumers with higher prices. The ghost of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 looms large, ready to serve as the ultimate cautionary tale. This narrative deserves a complete rejection, and it is essential to confront the realities behind these unfounded claims. Tariffs: The Bogeyman of Economics…

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — Not long before a man with an AR-15 slung over his shoulder walked past City Hall, Vivek Ramaswamy did something that was, for him, shocking. As a presidential candidate, the Ohio Republican never met a conspiracy theory he didn’t like — from claiming the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was an “inside job” to asserting the government lied to Americans about 9/11. But speaking to reporters in front of Springfield, Ohio’s city hall, then later at both a town hall and in an interview with POLITICO, Ramaswamy repeatedly sidestepped questions about Donald Trump’s baseless…
