Columbia's Priorities Are Clear, and Jewish Students Aren't One of Them
President Donald Trump pulled a staggering $400 million in federal funding from Columbia University, one of many hotbeds of antisemitism and pro-terror protests that have sprung up in the wake of the Oct. 7 attacks against Israel by Hamas.

Socialism Is a False Dawn

United Under One Anthem
The NFL has yet again decided to desecrate the sacred American sport of football, a sport that has united Americans for decades, by playing the divisive Black national anthem before the Super Bowl.

Trump Bursts Into His Second Term
President Donald Trump burst out of the gates into his second term with the speed of a Kentucky Derby winner. Executive orders turning the status quo upside have flown in gusts from the Oval Office ever since Mr. Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20.

Will the Government Follow Trump's Lead on Illegal Immigration?
In politics, few figures have demonstrated the kind of transactional decisiveness that Trump exemplifies. His recent dealings with the Colombian government underscore the efficiency of his approach.

The Insider Trading Game on Capitol Hill Must Stop
Members of Congress get a number of generous benefits from their positions.

2024: The Year of Donald Trump
The year 2024 will be remembered for three marvels: Donald Trump, Donald Trump and Donald Trump. He is Time Magazine's Person of the Year. Even Harry Houdini would be jealous.

A Letter to Jesus
Dear Jesus,
We commonly communicate, but communication reaches a new level in sacredly celebrating your birthday -- Christmas Day. Times passes swiftly. But it comes to a halt on Christmas. We pay homage and gratitude to you for your wisdom and sacrifice that we strive in vain to imitate.
Your Sermon on the Mount is our light to happiness and ...Read more
The Drone Invasion: Ignorance, Incompetence or Both?
Remember Orson Welles' radio drama "The War of the Worlds," featuring a terrifying Martian invasion? By a stroke of luck, the narrative was apocryphal.
This time, we may not be so fortunate. Mushrooming reports from California and New Jersey have revealed swarms of surveillance drones above sensitive areas, in what might be a dress rehearsal ...Read more
