Donald Trump's foreign policy was, during his first term, not only successful; it was the most successful foreign policy of any president since Ronald Reagan.

This week, I had the pleasure of sitting down for a cordial debate with Sam Harris, host of the "Making Sense" podcast, to discuss the question of the hour: Trump vs. Harris.

The European continent, until the war in Ukraine, had never experienced a more peaceful respite from history than since the end of the Cold War; America has enjoyed its own peace dividend, with spending ballooning...Read more

On Oct. 1, the Islamic Republic of Iran launched some 181 ballistic missiles at the state of Israel. Most were shot down; those that weren't fell largely in uninhabited areas. Thanks to the technological and intelligence superiority of Israel and her allies, the Iranian attack -- the second such attack in six months -- was foiled. As of this ...Read more

A little over eight weeks ago, President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, despite being the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee and only true primary vote recipient. He was forced out by the party elite, who watched his debate with Donald Trump and saw what most of America already knew: that Biden is senile. Biden was ...Read more

This week, a would-be assassin aimed a rifle at Donald Trump through the fence at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Secret Service saw the man and shot at him; he was later arrested.
