The killing of Qasem Soleimani is a seismic event with huge ramifications across the Middle East and worldwide.
Iran unleashed its proxies in Iraq to attack the U.S. embassy in Baghdad on the last day of 2019. That speaks volumes about the nature of Tehran rulers. President Trump correctly held them accountable. The ayatollahs' conduct at home and abroad has been utterly malign. Period. They stand out as one of the most pressing challenges the international community faces as we enter 2020.
I have many fond memories of watching my children on Christmas Eve as they anxiously awaited Santa's arrival and the frenzied opening of presents that followed. While most children begin to question Santa's existence around 7 or 8, many Democrats in Washington are apparently clinging to the idea that the federal government can take on the role of St. Nick. Unsurprisingly, their horrible policy ideas usually end up more like lumps of coal for taxpayers than desirable gifts.
The thought of the world's largest supply of recoverable oil falling into the hands of Russia and China is not a far-flung idea. And with that, a fleet of warships docked on the coast of the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, positioned to threaten American national security. If America eventually surrenders its influence in Venezuela, this scenario could become reality.
The self-pity of liberal journalists is proof that President Trump is winning his fight against fake news by exposing the rampant media bias against his administration.
There are instances of Republican activists allegedly committing fraud, but the preponderance of evidence lays the practice firmly at the feet of Democrats.
Unsurprisingly, Iranian officials have already attempted to blame shady foreign infiltration for the mass protests that began on Friday. Of course, the allegations are never backed up by evidence and the regime makes no effort to explain how such protests have spread to 130 cities and why it has been necessary to slaughter 200 innocent young Iranians on the streets in just three days. According to reports, the victims are mostly young adults and teenagers, many of them shot in the head and chest.
Without a doubt, President Trump's pro-growth policies have resulted in a booming economy with unemployment rates at historic lows. This extraordinary era of job creation has been made possible in part thanks to the Trump administration's laser focus on slashing regulations for energy producers and long overdue reductions to the burdensome tax code. However, to keep the economy flourishing, the DC swamp needs more draining, and the first target should be to eliminate an unfair tax credit that only still exists thanks to crony capitalism and renewable-energy lobbyists.
In a victory for free speech on college campuses, Speech First, a nonprofit focused on defending the exercise of First Amendment rights, has agreed to a settlement with the University of Michigan that protects students' free-speech rights and resolves the issues prompting the lawsuit.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to "cleanse" northern Syria of Kurds. Though the term "ethnic cleansing" originated during the Bosnian War in the 1990s, genocide and ethnic cleansing are functionally interchangeable. Both are crimes against humanity to which the U.S. must be adamantly opposed.
The Iranian regime has become more brazen in its foreign policy. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) recently attacked commercial vessels in the Gulf and seized others, including a British tanker. It also launched missiles against Saudi oil infrastructure in September. This is in addition to its aggressive policies in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently announced the details of her long-anticipated prescription drug reform plan. Not surprisingly, the plan is more of the same from the Democrat leadership.
With 2020 Democratic presidential candidates looking ready to lose to President Trump and with recent conservative victories, this is a bad time to be a liberal activist.
While I am generally suspicious of the heavy hand of government, my take on the vaping crisis is evolving and I will attempt to explain.
President Trump is putting on a masterful show as he repeatedly outmaneuvers China in the ongoing trade negotiations.
Buried deep in a recent BuzzFeed News story targeting the well-respected Catholic fraternity Knights of Columbus for allegedly padding its insurable-membership roster is the real issue eating away at the left-leaning "news" organization: that the charity in recent years has given millions of dollars away in support of pro-life causes.
The Iranian regime has been virtually universally described as the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism. Yet this does not mean that all those who have a role in shaping policy toward the regime factor in the threat accordingly. Last year, multiple terrorist threats on European soil were neutralized.
In the decade prior to President Trump taking office, the decline of America's patent system seemed inevitable and irreversible.
It's imperative the president protect American interests in Venezuela.
We have seen from history that if the 2nd Amendment is compromised, then 1st Amendment rights deteriorate quickly.
