When American Eagle released a cheeky new jeans ad featuring actress Sydney Sweeney, the message was simple: she’s a natural beauty, and American Eagle jeans highlight that. But instead of taking it at face value, critics on the Left exploded, calling the ad “racist,” “eugenic,” and even comparing it to Nazi propaganda. On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson breaks down the absurdity of the outrage and exposes the real history of eugenics—hint: it doesn’t come from the Right. “ We have all sorts of models that pose for jean commercials. American Eagle have had...

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova slammed the new United States President Donald Trump's trade policy, describing it as an attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. "This US policy constitutes a direct violation of the national sovereignty of states, an attempt to interfere in their internal affairs, not to mention the fact that it generally leads to a slowdown in economic growth, damage to supply chains, and fragmentation of the global economy," the spokeswoman said in a statement. However, Zakharova noted that neither sanctions nor tariffs "can do anything with the natural course of history," stressing...

"Expect further steps," Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman addedMOSCOW, August 4. /TASS/.

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday signed an order for a federal prosecutor to present evidence to a grand jury to mull charges related to the Russia collusion hoax, multiple sources confirmed to Just the News. The move follows Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard sending criminal referrals to the Department of Justice. The convening of a grand jury does not guarantee the filing of charges. Rather, it is the job of the grand jury to recommend charges if they believe sufficient evidence exists to justify a prosecution. Gabbard, in July, stated that she had sent evidence to the DOJ...

Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said the country would safeguard its economic interests amid threats of steep tariffs from President Donald Trump.

"Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security," he added. Jaiswal also...

The Texas House voted Monday afternoon to track down and arrest more than 50 Democratic lawmakers who were not present when the chamber gaveled in. … They will not face civil or criminal charges from the arrests. The warrants apply only within state lines, making them largely symbolic as most of the legislators in question decamped to Illinois, New York and Massachusetts to forestall passage of the GOP’s proposed redraw of Texas’ congressional map.

After decades of neglect left its stockpiles “far too shallow,” the United States is undertaking a massive revitalization of its munitions industrial base. Spurred by the demands of supporting allies like Ukraine and Israel, Congress is pouring billions into the effort.

I'm checking on any updates about the Texas Dims that left town to avoid their vote. I saw a headline but not the details about them being pursued. Now there's a strange hooded idiot on X with some dire warning. Anyone know up to the minute info?

Here’s a bold idea for the Kurds, Taiwanese, and Tibetans: Go to Israel and kidnap a bunch of Jews. It’s your quickest path to statehood. Travel to Tel Aviv, go swipe a few hundred Israeli civilians (women and children are your best bet; they’re smaller and take up less space), and then send your demands to the United Nations. Within a few days, England, France — and a growing number on the American left — will reward you with statehood. Pro Tip: Try to align your independence movement with some kind of colorful headgear — like what the Palestinians did...
