During an interview with PBS’s “Firing Line” released on Friday, Democratic U.S. House nominee Melat Kiros responded to the history of socialism, paired with Communism ending in mass death by saying that “the historical record is also one that doesn’t show the full story as well, right? Our country has a long and storied history of intervening and trying to prevent any kind of government that was trying to deliver back more power to working people from succeeding in any meaningful way.” Host Margaret Hoover asked, [relevant exchange begins around 21:20] “I wonder if it concerns you that so many…

An Indiana Fever postgame press conference came to an abrupt end when a reporter attempted to ask about teammate Sophie Cunningham’s recent comments defending women’s sports. The team’s PR director immediately cut off the session, sending players and the coach fleeing the podium. Following the Fever’s win over the Portland Fire on Friday night, an Outkick reporter began a question with the words “Speaking of outside noise, Sophie came out with—” PR director Jackie Maynard immediately interjected and declared, “We’re going to wrap up there.” Players Aliyah Boston and Makayla Timpson quickly jumped out of their seats and left the…

During an interview with PBS’s “Firing Line” released on Friday, Democratic U.S. House nominee Melat Kiros said that a two-state solution “ignores the reality of how Israel was created as a state and robs the Palestinian people of their right to self-determination as well.” Because “that is land that they would not have the same rights to occupy as well, that, in theory, was all of Palestine to begin with.” She further stated that “the question I’ve had for a lot of folks is, what does it mean to be a Jewish state? And, for a lot of folks, I…

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez posted a video Saturday recommending summer songs to his social media followers, hours after visiting the enclave of Ceuta at the center of a migrant crisis that has left dozens dead and drawn condemnation from across Europe. Sánchez shared the clip on Instagram and TikTok under the caption “the soundtrack of my summer,” appearing on a white sofa inside the Moncloa palace as he walked viewers through a playlist of tracks he said he had been listening to this year. “This summer I’ve prepared a playlist with some of the songs I’ve been listening to…

The US Oil & Gas Association dropped in on Hunter Biden in an epic takedown after the former ‘Burisma executive’ trashed President Trump. Hunter Biden on Friday went after Chevron and accused President Trump of ‘making big oil great again.’ “Chevron just posted $12 billion in profit. Up 400% in a year. Their biggest quarter ever. Exxon made $14.5 billion. You paid for all of it at the pump,” Hunter Biden said. “Say what you want about Trump. He’s making something great again. And who’s more deserving than Big Oil,” Hunter said. Chevron just posted $12 billion in profit. Up…

Here’s a graph the Keynesians, statists, and Wall Street gamblers—yes, we repeat ourselves—would prefer not to explain. At the same time, it also explains why socialism at this late date in history—and after all its abysmal failures the world over—is having some kind of dubious second coming in America. During the last three decades the national savings rate (red line) has essentially collapsed, having fallen from 6.3% of GDP in 1997 to 0.5% of GDP in 2025. Between the same two dates, however, the net worth of US households (blue line) has soared from 4.6X personal income to 6.5X personal income. In economist jargon, the question would recur…

President Donald Trump announced Saturday night he canceled a planned U.S. attack on Iran after Tehran and other Middle Eastern countries asked him to hold fire. The “perimeters” of a deal were subsequently agreed to he said would fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end Iran’s nuclear threat. The dramatic reversal came after Trump spent much of the previous day signaling that another major U.S. attack was imminent, with American officials saying Washington was preparing potentially sweeping strikes against Iranian energy and infrastructure targets as soon as the weekend. “The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go…

People who raise flags on lampposts or other street infrastructure in Oxfordshire face imprisonment following a ruling from the High Court. Last year, the grassroots Operation Raise The Colours campaign swept the United Kingdom, as citizens used the peaceful flag-raising civil disobedience movement to express their opposition to the government commandeering hotels to house mostly young male migrants in their midst. The outpouring of patriotic fervour riled the feathers of many local councils, including Oxfordshire County Council, which has been awarded a High Court injunction barring anyone from attaching England or UK flags to lampposts or public infrastructure, or from painting their image…

With conflict spreading and old forums faltering, Manila became one of the rare places where powers still chose dialogue In late July, the Philippines did something that has become increasingly rare. It made great powers sit down. Under the chairmanship of the Philippines, the 59th ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Manila and its dense constellation of related gatherings turned the capital into one of the few reliable stages where rivals still appear in the same rooms, exchange views, and keep channels open.From July 20 to 24, foreign ministers from Southeast Asia, the United States, China, Russia, Japan, India, Europe, and…
