Europe’s own regulatory architecture turned off Europe’s own energy supply. And America. . . on the other side of the Atlantic with a full tank of gas, watched it happen.” —Jeff Childers Let’s pause for a moment amid all the excitement to address an abiding mystery of these times: why does the news media seem to be rooting for American failure in the Iran operation? Or more generally, how did the media become handmaiden to the Lefty-left and all its ancillaries? How were they lured into their Cloward-Piven bunker of crypto-Marxian “resistance”? It’s unlikely that the network executives, news producers,…

The Taliban junta in Afghanistan on Tuesday released U.S. citizen Dennis Coyle after 14 months in captivity. He arrived in San Antonio, Texas, on Wednesday morning. Coyle, 64, is an academic from Colorado who had been working on linguistic research in Afghanistan for more than 20 years. He left Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover in August 2021, but returned about 18 months later after receiving assurances from the Taliban that it supported his work. Coyle was forcibly arrested at his apartment in Kabul and detained without charges by the Taliban General Directorate of Intelligence in January 2025, six days after…

Markwayne Mullin officially assumed the post of Department of Homeland Security secretary on Tuesday afternoon. Attorney General Pam Bondi swore Mullin in during an Oval Office ceremony as President Donald Trump looked on. “It’s a great day for me, because I have a lot of confidence in this gentleman,” Trump said ahead of the swearing-in. “We’re thrilled to swear in our new secretary of Homeland Security, great American patriot, to put it mildly, Markwayne Mullin.” Trump lauded Mullin’s work at the Capitol, where he served as a congressman before becoming a United States senator, a post he held before becoming…

Finger-pointing, profanity, even “poppycock.” An overwhelming sense of frustration and despair has overtaken Congress as lawmakers try to clinch a deal to end a nearly six-week shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security as a previously scheduled holiday recess looms. The funding framework Republican senators sketched out with President Donald Trump Monday now seems to be on life support, and the Senate has yet to circle a backup agreement that would end the impasse over immigration enforcement tactics responsible for the ongoing DHS shutdown that’s spurring air travel disruptions as unpaid TSA screeners stop showing up for work. Trump has…

Speaking at an event on slavery reparations at the United Nations in New York on Tuesday, Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama accused President Donald Trump of “slowly normalizing the erasure” of black history in America and inspiring other governments to do the same around the world. Mahama was in New York to introduce a U.N. resolution that would recognize the trans-Atlantic slave trade as “the gravest crime in the history of humankind,” for which modern nations should pay reparations. The Ghanaian president used his speech on Tuesday to accuse Trump of wiping out black history by cutting funds to cultural…

Bill Wells, the mayor of El Cajon, California, is ripping the state and Attorney General Rob Bonta for state rules that protect human sex traffickers and block local action to help their victims. Last week, Wells, a Republican, sent a letter to AG Bonta about the 2018 sanctuary city law SB 54 and asked Bonta if his city police officers could conduct mere welfare checks on unaccompanied children using information provided by federal authorities. “The answer should have been yes,” Bonta wrote in an op ed at Fox News. ” Instead, the attorney general’s office warned that even confirming a…

House Democrats will soon have to choose between protecting an embattled colleague or insulating themselves from politically damaging accusations of hypocrisy. The House Ethics Committee will begin the process Thursday of determining whether Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick warrants punishment as extreme as expulsion over accusations that she stole millions in FEMA funds and committed various campaign finance infractions. The bipartisan panel that typically operates in secret is holding a public “trial” — the first in nearly 16 years — that will litigate those allegations as the third-term Florida Democrat faces federal criminal charges in her home state. Cherfilus-McCormick has maintained her…

President Donald Trump is “prepared to unleash hell” if Iran refuses to “come to a deal,” the White House warned Wednesday, cautioning that the regime “should not miscalculate again” after suffering devastating battlefield losses, as U.S. forces — including Marines and elements of the 82nd Airborne Division — deploy to the Middle East to support combat operations against Iran. Speaking at a White House briefing, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president remains willing to listen as talks with Tehran continue, but stressed the regime is now being given a final opportunity to accept the reality of its battlefield defeat…
