In one of his Truth Social bombs, President Donald Trump insisted we should rename Lake Ontario to Lake America after Canada refused to accept his trade negotiation terms. It obviously echoes his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

It's easy to find these whole geographic kerfuffles unnecessary. But the media hated the ...Read more

History illuminates the present. I've been reading Stephen Kotkin's widely and justly praised multivolume biography of Joseph Stalin and have encountered many passages that illuminate the present.

I learned, for example, that Stalin met the exiled Vladimir Lenin more than a decade before the October 1917 revolution, and that by the early ...Read more

President Trump's tariffs aren't popular, but he's found a way to make them even less so -- a trade war with America's most inoffensive ally.

When one thinks of countries that deserve to be subjected to a steady stream of insults (it's Lake America now, not Lake Ontario) and a punishing regime of tariffs, Canada is far down the list.

The recent suppression of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's torture-tainted confessions at Guantanamo Bay is far more than a victory for a defendant. It is a victory for the Constitution.

The United States government today alleges that Mohammed was the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, a crime of historic horror that demands accountability. For nine...Read more

The trial of Lindsay Clancy forces us to confront a tragedy almost beyond human comprehension: A mother killed her three young children -- 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan -- inside their Massachusetts home.

We must begin with those children. They were innocent, vulnerable and entitled to the protection of the person ...Read more

I will never understand why President Donald Trump, brought back to office partly in response to a sharp rise in prices during the Joe Biden interlude, would pursue the expensive tariff policy we've been subjected to since the beginning of 2025. And yet here we are, with another reason to be unhappy about inflation and the cost of living.

Frankly, I always thought that sentiment was ridiculous in the first place. Anyone who went through middle school, junior high or high school knows full well the kind of nasty behavior that females are capable of.

But there's garden-variety "mean girl," "queen bee" snark, and then there is the outrageous lunacy that we've witnessed of late.

In May 2025, Tom Fletcher, the United Nations under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, went on BBC Radio and told the audience that 14,000 babies in Gaza were going to die "in the next 48 hours unless we can reach them."

According to UNICEF, there are around 20,000 babies in the entirety of Gaza. Which means 70% of all infants were ...Read more

It's midterms crunch time, so we are hearing endless political promises from all candidates. My hope is that with so much talk about affordability and economic growth, a voter or two would raise their hand and ask about price controls and credit card caps.

These might seem such minuscule topics to interpret some political grandstanding and ...Read more

A quarter of a century has passed since Al Qaeda's hideous Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. The 25th anniversary is an appropriate moment to reflect on that horror's historical impacts.

The morning of the attack, I was outlining a "futurist" column addressing new space-based weapons programs and the increasing militarization of space. My wife ...Read more

As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 nears, the biggest disgrace is that the attack's evil mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, has not been tried and sentenced to death.

Blame the American Civil Liberties Union, in large part, for this injustice. The ACLU intervened at the start, insisting that the two military lawyers assigned to defend Mohammed ...Read more

In 2022, politicians in Minneapolis and St. Paul voted for rent control.

I said that would lead to bigger problems.

Was I right?

My update video reveals what happened.

St. Paul politicians pushed rent control, saying rent caps would stop "unfair profiteering."

But what the heck is "profiteering," and how is it different from "profit"? Who...Read more

The U.S. Department of State is unambiguously stating that the Chinese Communist Party is committing genocide.

On Aug. 27, this writer sent some questions to the State Department Office of Press Operations through its online portal for media inquiries. One of these questions was: "Has the State Department concluded that China is continuing to...Read more

Just like the networks spent months helpfully skipping over the Nazi tattoo on the chest of Maine Democrat Graham Platner, they have largely ignored radical leftist influencer Hasan Piker, who has campaigned with Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. ABC and NBC haven't found him, while CBS broke the mold with two stories.

The "PBS News Hour" ...Read more

When American manufacturing was truly coming into its own in the early 20th century, workers sometimes labored 12-hour days seven days a week and risked life and limb working near dangerous machinery, while factories blackened the skies of American cities.

Yet some of the same people who insist that we need to reindustrialize to return to a ...Read more

Democrats are in a quandary over the Supreme Court. Every four years, they've warned their voters that electing a Republican president will lead to more conservative Supreme Court justices. And yet since Ronald Reagan's election in 1980 through today, they've lost more presidential elections than they've won. Maybe the voters are telling ...Read more
