Biden administration national Security spokesman John Kirby said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Israel’s military action that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and other top officials was “good for the world.” Kirby said, “I don’t think anybody is mourning the loss of Mr. Nasrallah, a known terrorist, a guy with American blood on his hands as well as Israeli blood on his hands. This is a terrorist organization. He was the leader of it. And I think people are safer without him walking around. But they’ll try to recover. We’re watching to see what they do to...

I can only say that, based on the conversations last night, we had every reason to believe that he was sincere in his intentions,” he added. Earlier, after landing in New York ahead of his address to the UN General...

A basic summary of Americans' contempt for their repellent ruling class boils down to three sentences: Establishment politicians and other regime operatives view everything through the lens of power.

"Even though we're hearing that, we want to talk about the next steps," she said. The murder of the six hostages last weekend made the urgency for a deal even...

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby stated that he doesn’t regret saying that he “didn’t see” chaos in Afghanistan from his “perch.” Because even though “there was chaos,” “the question was asking me just a blanket sort of bumper sticker adjective slapped onto the withdrawal,” and “it deeply offends me, as a veteran myself, that we’re just slapping that bumper sticker on the whole withdrawal and I think that does a disservice to all the brave men and women, civilian and military alike, who pulled that withdrawal off.” Host Phil Mattingly...

United Airlines is the “Bud Light” of the airline world. They’ve shifted gears, moving away from their core customer base, which prioritizes safety and security. Now, it’s all about drag queens and flamboyant celebrations. But is this the direction most air travelers want? Hardly. Flyers don’t want in-flight gay entertainment featuring CEOs in ladies’ pantyhose or a strong push on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). When passengers board a plane, their primary concern is a competent, professional pilot, not one who’s more interested in theatrics and show tunes. This trend in air travel is starting to mirror our “woke” military,...
