BLUF: Congress is quietly moving beyond supporting Israel and toward legally embedding Israel into America’s defense and intelligence architecture. Through Section 224 of the FY27 NDAA and Section 622 of the Senate Intelligence Authorization Act, lawmakers are creating institutional ties that future presidents may find difficult to unwind. The real issue is not intelligence sharing itself—which already exists—but whether Congress should permanently codify a strategic relationship that previous administrations deliberately kept flexible. As younger Americans increasingly question traditional U.S.-Israel policies, these measures appear designed to ensure that future political shifts cannot fundamentally alter the partnership.

Over the years, I’ve read a lot of stories written from the pro-abortion perspective. How? Primarily by understanding the mechanisms they use to shield themselves from what they are doing to hapless unborn babies. It’s a very grim reminder of what we are up against. It’s not unusual to be lectured that snuffing out the lives of preborn babies is liberating/fulfilling/empowering. But “What I Learned From My Four Abortions” takes aggressive self-deception to a new level. You would expect nothing less from the Rewire News Group. It specializes in pushing abortion advocacy to the outer limits under the guise of...

Nobody had a bigger night on Saturday night than Jalen Brunson. His 45-point performance in Game 5 locked down the NBA Finals MVP and the Knicks championship. A close second in the running for the biggest night is a Spurs fan in a Dennis Rodman jersey. He went on a one-man mission in New York to find any celebrating Knicks fan who wanted a piece. Most people moved out of the way as if he had some sort of invisible force field around him, but he did have a few Knicks fans take him up on the offer. Surprisingly, he...

This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region. Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace.

While many would perhaps have expected a player of his caliber to be set for life, Ariza - now 40 - made just $2,316 last month as a trainer...

The main headline of Sunday’s Yediot Aharonot, a popular Hebrew daily, summed up in two words the prevailing sentiment in Israel over President Trump’s emerging cease-fire agreement with Iran: “Bad Deal.” Israel waged two wars against Iran in the past year, the most recent one the campaign launched in late February with U.S. forces. Now Israel, which had not been a party to the Trump administration’s negotiations with Iran, is being left out of the potential peace... Even before the announcement came on Sunday that a cease-fire agreement had been reached, the details that had surfaced in news media reports...
