Sun Tzu made an observation, some 2,500 years ago, that modern coalition politics seems to have taken to heart, though no one credits him for it. Paraphrased loosely: an army does not need every soldier to want the same outcome. It needs them moving in the same direction until the battle is won. The Red and the Green appear to have absorbed the lesson without ever reading the book. Almost nobody asks what happens once the battle ends and there's no shared enemy left to hold the army together. The Red is the socialist left. The Green is political Islam....

The auto industry has a new solution to Americans’ fear that electric vehicles will run out of juice: a gasoline engine.

Powerful Category 2 Hurricane Lowell made a rare direct hit on Hawaii's western islands Monday night Hawaii time, with rain and wind continuing to intensify as state officials report thousands of power outages on both Kaua'i and Oahu, the state's most populous island.While the storm's center is not expected to make landfall, the definition of a direct hit is when a hurricane passes within a distance that is up to twice the length between the center of the storm and the maximum winds, which in Lowell's case is 60 miles....More than 60,000 customers are without power on Kaua'i and Oahu...

On September 3, a House Oversight subcommittee politely asked Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to sit before them and give testimony about alleged “waste, fraud and abuse” involving more than $1 billion in federal homelessness funding funneled through the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA). I made a prediction at the time: The $64,000 question is: will she show? My guess is no — the mayor will conveniently find she’s scheduled to attend an important event in Ghana or something. If she does, however, you can bet I’ll plop down on the couch with a can of cold beverage and...

What we call “globalism” has been on the march for eighty years. A system that embraces centralized markets, bureaucratic regulation, international institutions, and so-called non-governmental organizations (predominantly funded by governments), globalism places significant power in the hands of a small collection of wealthy and powerful stakeholders from the planet’s top investment houses, corporations, law firms, universities, central banks, and government bodies. Globalism speaks in the language of “democracy” while ignoring — or even criminalizing — the will of the people. Across the West, citizens have opposed open border policies that have flooded their nations with unassimilable, foreign immigrants. Globalists have...

Here’s a little thought experiment… Imagine a community spent nearly 50 years building up a popular local sports facility, poured millions of dollars into it, and watched generations of families use it. Then, because of a problem buried deep inside the legal paperwork, they were told to hand over the keys and walk away. Now imagine people publicly celebrating that move simply because the people losing out were Aboriginal. Unthinkable, right? The entire world would melt down. But flip the races, and apparently some people get giddy and call it justice. That’s the racist little cloud now hanging over a...

Federal officials on Monday said all five people killed after an Amazon plane overran a runway in Miami were on the ground in a van. Five people died, and five people were injured after an Amazon Boeing 767 plane overshot the runway at Miami International Airport and burst into flames on Sunday. The cargo plane departed Puerto Rico and crashed as it landed at Miami International Airport around 2 pm ET. The plane hit vehicles, forcing a ground stop. “21 Air Flight 7598 overran the runway after landing at Miami International Airport around 2 p.m. local time on Sunday, Sept....

Famous musician Jelly Roll has been uninvited from performing at an upcoming law enforcement fundraiser scheduled to take place at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago. Last week, Blue Lives Matter announced that they are removing Jelly Roll from the lineup at their second annual Big Blue Bash on November 17th. This comes after the singer made some pretty vile remarks about President Trump during a late-night TV show appearance in late August. In a lengthy post on X, Blue Lives Matter explained their decision: We’re DONE. You’re FIRED. On April 26, 2026, we made the mistake of sending a formal invitation to...

60 years ago, NBC aired the first episode of Star Trek, a television show that became a pop culture phenomenon. The original series starred William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk, who led his diverse crew of humans and at least one alien, on adventures in space. "Space: The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise," Kirk says, narrating in the title sequence of each episode. "Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life, and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before."

Maria Bartiromo has reportedly spoken with CBS News chief Bari Weiss about a potential broadcasting role on 60 Minutes following her sudden exit from Fox News. The potential move could put Bartiromo on one of television’s biggest stages. According to insiders, 60 Minutes was among the destinations discussed as the 58-year-old sought an immediate broadcasting comeback. Fox News might have done her a big favor and hurt themselves more than they realized. Fox News has already renamed her show Mornings with Fox Business instead of Mornings with Maria. Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice reported that Bartiromo and Weiss had already...

The flyers went up in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood last month, plastered onto lampposts, bollards, building walls and traffic control boxes. “Beware: Talmudists are trained to cheat,” said one of the flyers posted in opposition to a housing redevelopment project. “Locals vs. Rothschilds,” another said. While those flyers echoed age-old antisemitic tropes, others deployed Israel-related or anti-Zionist rhetoric, decrying “dirty zionist money” and comparing the redevelopment project to the Nakba. “Stop Zionist occupation of Manhattan. NYCHA residents must keep their homes,” one said, referring to the New York City Housing Authority, at the entrance to an apartment building.

The socialists didn’t radicalize the Democrat Party; they simply inherited a party that had already radicalized itself. The primaries are over, and the November general election looms. Suddenly, the Islamo-socialist podcaster Hasan Piker—who is now infamous for blaming America for 9/11 and warning Jews that “someone’s going to come around and take action, not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews”—is persona non grata on the Democratic stump. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee in the Michigan Senate race, once enlisted Piker to jump-start his lethargic candidacy. Now that he is locked in a close general-election race...

"Stand firm against the schemes of the devil" (Eph. 6:11). One of Satan’s most effective tactics is to challenge God’s credibility. Paul's exhortation to "stand firm against the schemes of the devil" (Eph. 6:11) refers to the various tactics Satan employs in spiritual warfare. One of his tactics is to call God's character and motives into question by raising doubts about His Word. He used that approach in the Garden of Eden, when he said to Eve, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" (Gen. 3:1). In one brief statement Satan disputed and...

Spanish researchers achieve complete tumor regression in animal models, opening new possibilities for one of medicine's deadliest cancersIn a promising development for pancreatic cancer treatment, scientists at Spain's National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) have successfully eliminated pancreatic tumors in mice using a triple-combination therapy. The findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on January 25, 2026. This represents a significant advance in tackling pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), one of the deadliest cancers. PDAC has one of the lowest survival rates, with over 10,300 new patients diagnosed annually in Spain alone, and a devastating five-year...

Although a recent report on financial red flags said Chicago is on a path toward insolvency, Wirepoints founder Mark Glennon says Chapter Nine bankruptcy might not work for the Windy City like it previously did in Detroit. Reason Foundation’s report on state and local government finances said Detroit’s financial condition at the end of fiscal year 2012 would trigger seven red flags, just like Chicago received in the organization’s report last month. In July 2013, Detroit became the largest city in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy. Glennon said Chicago, unlike Detroit, has sold most of its future sales tax...
