Spying and Espionage Belie Trump’s Policy on Chinese Students

The president is trying to thread the needle by welcoming Chinese students without endangering our national security. It’s counterintuitive and risky, to say the least.

The National Guard Isn’t the Gestapo

They are a well-trained, entirely lawful military force that isn’t engaging in street fights or arresting dissidents.

It’s Past Time to Designate the Muslim Brotherhood a Terrorist Organization

For far too long, the United States has treated the Muslim Brotherhood with a dangerous combination of naivete and willful blindness.

America Must Never Apologize for Dropping the Bombs on Japan

Once upon a time, Western societies understood that once a horrific war has been initiated, there can be no substitute for absolute victory.

Hate in the Heartland

An American citizen who served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was targeted in Clayton, Missouri. This is what “Globalize the Intifada” means.

Truman Made the Right Decision to Drop the Bomb

‘War Does Not Solve Problems,’ Declares the Pope. He’s Wrong.

Pope Leo’s statement reflects a peace-at-any-price mindset that appeals more to emotion than experience.

Secure Borders Win Wars Like This One

Globalization has changed the nature of war. Winning the wars of the future calls for stopping them from ever getting started within our borders.

Nuclear Futures

We’ve just moved mountains (literally) to keep one terrorist nation from acquiring and using a nuclear weapon. What about the other thousands of nuclear warheads and rogue entities willing to use them?

National Guard Decision Is a Win for Public Safety, Not Just the President

Newsom was apparently more interested in putting up a public political fight against Trump than in actually dealing with the chaos, havoc, and disorder occurring in LA.

Trump Strikes Iran, Democrats Retaliate

It’s no surprise that there are already calls for impeachment for an unauthorized military strike, though Democrat presidents have done the same thing with the support of today’s objectors.

Erick Erickson / June 20, 2025

Rational by Other Standards
