Chicago’s transit chaos shows the cost of a grievance-driven politics: when enforcement is always racist, everyone else just gets less safe. The Legacy of Jesse Jackson Makes All of Us Less Safe If you ride the trains or buses in Chicago with any regularity, you don’t worry about microaggressions. You worry about being maced, mugged, or shoved onto the tracks—or, in one grotesque recent case, set on fire. That’s the lived experience of Chicagoans navigating the Chicago Transit Authority and Metra. Not academic theory. Not seminar-room sociology. Reality. So naturally, when a modest pilot program is introduced allowing the transit…

During his Sunday opening monologue, Fox News Channel “Life, Liberty & Levin” host Mark Levin argued that President Donald Trump’s actions against Iran were in line with those of some of his predecessors, including Presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan.According to Levin, citing Madison in part, peace was better than war. However, he said war is better than nuclear annihilation.[P]eace is better than war, but war is better than nuclear annihilation. It’s sort of a takeoff on something that James Madison said during the second Barbary Wars. You know, one of the things I…

Google’s Gemini AI platform smears seven sitting Republican Senators, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio by stating they have violated its “hate speech policies,” but found zero Democrats guilty of the same. The alarming revelation underscores the serious problem of woke AI’s political bias against conservatives, the depth and severity of which I demonstrate in my new book, Code Red: The Left, the Right, China, and the Race to Control AI (HarperCollins). Using Google Gemini Pro’s “deep research” setting, I asked the AI chatbot the following: “Based on your hate speech policies, assess the statements of…

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is asking Virginia officials, including Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D), not to allow an illegal alien to be released from jail. The illegal alien, an adult, is accused of groping about a dozen girls in the hallways of Fairfax County High School. “This 19-year-old criminal illegal alien should NOT have been attending a Virginia high school and allowed to prey on innocent teenage girls,” the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Lauren Bis said in a statement: He now faces nine counts of assault and battery. This is yet another example of the Biden Administration’s failed open…

The German chancellor has expressed doubt the US-Israeli military operation will bring about regime change German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has warned that bombing Iran will not help bring about regime change, criticizing the US for lacking an exit strategy in the war.Merz initially backed Washington after the US and Israel launched unprovoked attacks on Iran late last month, blaming Tehran’s leadership for the conflict and saying, “the sooner the mullah regime stops, the sooner this war will end.”At a press conference on Monday, Merz called for regime change, but said it is not likely by military means.“This Iranian regime… must be…

Still grappling with the civilizational transformations of the migrant crisis sparked over a decade ago by conflict in the Middle East, the European Union is facing the prospect of another large wave, with little more in the way of protection for its external borders. In 2015, more than a million migrants poured into Europe as German Chancellor Angela Merkel unilaterally opened the gates of the bloc to mass migration from Africa and the Middle East, most notably from the Syrian Civil War, which in part was exacerbated by U.S. involvement, with the Obama administration funding rebel groups against the now-defunct…

The Democrat’s shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is entering its fourth week, snarling America’s airports and forcing Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) officers to work without pay. The nation’s airports have been suffering long security lines as fewer TSA agents are serving at airport checkpoints and as the ones who have come to work remain unpaid thanks to the Democrats obstructing passage of the DHS budget. Some airline CEOs have sent a letter to Congress to demand that TSA workers and other federal air travel employees continue to get paid so that airports will continue running smoothly, according…

Senate Democrats sent over their latest proposal for immigration enforcement changes at the Department of Homeland Security as a shutdown of the vast department drags into its second month. The offer, confirmed by a White House official and two other people with knowledge of the matter, is the latest of several the two parties have traded since the funding lapse began Feb. 14. Little progress has been made since toward an agreement that would fund agencies including TSA, FEMA, ICE and the Coast Guard. Democrats have vowed to block funding until the administration agrees to immigration enforcement changes in the…

From ‘America First’ to global confrontation: How Trump’s strategy is changing US power Donald Trump saw his historic mission as restoring American greatness and pulling the US out of the strategic drift of the past decade and a half. Initially, both Trump and his MAGA allies framed this task in terms of national concentration and restraint.Their idea was to move away from liberal globalism and the ideology of wokeness toward a pragmatic, business-minded approach to foreign policy. Instead of defending the interests of an American empire across the globe, Washington would turn inward and focus on domestic problems. In this conception,…

LEAD STORYThe Great Heist in Plain Sight: Private Credit, Insurance, and Your RetirementForensic accountant Tom Gober has spent years tracking what he calls the most dangerous intersection in American finance: the takeover of the $9.3 trillion insurance industry by private equity firms. On a recent episode of The Eisman Playbook, Steve Eisman, the man who saw 2008 coming, interviewed Gober and laid out how firms like Apollo, KKR, and Brookfield are using captive insurance subsidiaries to funnel policyholder money into illiquid private credit investments. The policyholders, often retirees depending on annuity payments, have no idea their money is backing leveraged buyouts…
