Here's why: The Islamo-Marxist mobs looting and burning France despise Western civilization.

Economically challenged and immigrant-overrun France is the Green-Red alliance's Western democratic target of the moment.

The color codes: Green for Islam. Red for Marxist/Communists.

Very strange bedfellows. A good, committed Marxist is an atheist....Read more

On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill/Working Families Tax Cuts Act into law, and it's unfortunate that very few parents know this legislation provides the largest national expansion of K-12 education freedom in our nation's history.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2027, a new federal Education Freedom Tax Credit ...Read more

The civil trial of the seven Cornell University fraternity men is already being turned into a media spectacle with almost no chance of fairness to the accused unless the court shuts down the theatrics pronto.

This is a case basically about the actions of eight college kids, but it has an all-star cast of legal titans, with Thomas Giuffra ...Read more

I shouldn't get so angry. It isn't healthy.

Last week, New York state summoned me to jury duty.

I went, of course. It's the law, and my duty.

A jury may protect the innocent from government abuse. Ordinary citizens, not officials, decide if you are guilty.

But doing our patriotic duty shouldn't mean surrendering hours of our lives to ...Read more

A family in Ohio has worked hard and sacrificed for three generations to keep their small-town grocery store in business, serving a community they live in and love.

A billionaire in California who invests some of his money in the movie industry lives in a beachside mansion in Malibu.

For which of these two entrepreneurs would Sen. Adam ...Read more

The New York Post cover on Oct. 19 summed it up in two words: "FRANCE BURNS." Over the weekend, there was massive unrest in France from leftist extremists. So there were several interesting journalism patterns.

Labeling. Typically, reporters didn't want to label protesters as "far left," let alone "left." Note to reporters: When Greta ...Read more

"This is a story of America," Martha MacCallum writes in the author's note to "The Book of Valor: America's Story of Survival, Gallantry & Grace." "It is one thread woven from our Pilgrim heritage in Plymouth to a World War II triple ace in the skies over Berlin; to a rescue hero in Vietnam to the burning World Trade Center towers to the ...Read more

Every few months, a young 19-year-old woman from South Carolina boards a plane to London. She isn't going sightseeing. She's going to get her next dose of a cancer treatment that was invented in the United States, developed by an American company, and credited by her doctors with clearing a brain tumor other surgeons had refused to touch.

She...Read more

"All my life," Charles de Gaulle famously said, "I have had a certain idea of France."

This, though, was presumably not what he had in mind. France has been wracked by riots targeting public buildings and symbols of the nation, as well as ordinary commercial concerns.

Of course, France has a long tradition of unrest on the streets. If ...Read more

The value of something is reflected by the punishment given for destroying it.

Two very different death penalty cases have been in the news recently. Each raises a different objection to capital punishment. At the end of last month, Tennessee officials gave Christa Pike what was supposed to be a lethal injection. Pike survived. She has left ...Read more

On NBC's "Meet the Press" last Sunday, host Kristen Welker asked Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed if he would "set the record straight" on his alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

One of the foundational ideals of a free nation is that all its citizens live under the same rules. Democrats know this. They've been lecturing us for years that "no one is above the law."

So, what happens if a federal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) provides incontrovertible evidence that she obtained citizenship by lying? ...Read more

Palmer Luckey, the founder of Anduril, spoke with Joe Rogan a while back and it should be required listening at the Pentagon. America won that war because it designed weapons around what its factories could already build. War planners knew what grades of steel and aluminum General Motors and Ford could process, so they built tanks and trucks ...Read more

Everyone absorbing the elitist media spin on the midterm elections cannot avoid the swirling symphony of doom for the Republicans. Conventional wisdom suggests a good night for Democrats, and that's before you look at the president's dreadful approval rating. Polls can be tricky: one can disapprove of Trump and still vote the Republican party ...Read more

The defining moment of the 2024 presidential campaign, it can be argued, came almost exactly two years ago, on Sunday, Oct. 20, when then-former President Donald Trump traded his suit coat for a yellow apron and worked the fry station and the drive-thru window at a McDonald's.

His staff picked a propitious location in the battleground state ...Read more
