WASHINGTON -- A federal judge is set to preside over an important hearing for John Hinckley, the man who shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981 and is on the verge of being released from all remaining restrictive conditions. U.S. District Court Judge Paul L. Friedman said in September that he would free Hinckley from restrictions on June 15 as long as Hinckley continued to do well.

JERUSALEM—With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, resulting in the biggest land war in Europe since World War II, there has been a great deal of speculation about whether any of this has prophetic implications. Specifically, many Christians – as well as others – are speculating whether we are likely to see the “War of Gog & Magog,” as described in the biblical book of Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39, actually unfold in the not-so-distant future. Secular media outlets have published stories about this. So have Christian media outlets. Over the last several months, ALL ISRAEL NEWS has also published a...

RANCHO DEL CIELO, Calif. — Arriving at the Reagan Ranch in California’s Santa Ynez mountains is like stepping back in time to the 1980s. The 40th president’s Western White House is privately owned by the Young America’s Foundation, which invites high school and college students to visit and learn about the Reagan legacy. There are no exhibits or velvet ropes. Everything remains as it was when the Reagans lived here, from Nancy’s handwritten instructions for operating the TV remote to the jar of “Brim” freeze-dried coffee in the kitchen.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is trying to grab the Reagan mantle in the GOP, campaigning for establishment Republican candidates and tying his message to the former president and longtime luminary of the party. “Today there are people in both parties who no longer share [Ronald] Reagan’s confidence and his unshakable faith in the American people, and they doubt whether we can or we should lead the free world,” Hogan says in a new digital ad provided to Yahoo News ahead of its release Tuesday

HUNT VALLEY, Md. (TND) — As Republicans set their sights on majorities in the House and the Senate this midterm election cycle, some prominent lawmakers have come out with negative things to say about the party or point to a new direction they believe conservatives should take. For Maryland GOP Gov. Larry Hogan, it’s a complete “course correction.” Last week at the Reagan Library’s “Time for Choosing” series, the governor said Republican voters need to “stand against extremes and for the majority of Americans.” He directly criticized former President Donald Trump, saying the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan....

Contrary to popular belief, Hollywood is loaded with Conservatives, but the problem lies in who controls the operating booth. Clearly, the entire institution of Hollywood and celebrity culture is dominated by Leftist voices, but that doesn’t mean Conservative talent hasn’t had a chance to shine. In fact, some of the best and brightest Conservative actors are still enjoying success, today. Being Conservative isn’t a four-letter word, and in fact, it’s a really cool way to live your life. This is evidenced in the behavior and likeability of Hollywood’s Right-of-Center voices, many of whom were politically ambiguous (more or less) up...

As Donald Trump hopes to be celebrating the victory of his endorsed Senate candidate in Ohio’s Republican primary, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan will be across the country delivering a blistering speech urging the GOP to shun the former president and choose new leadership. This split-screen scenario offers a preview of a 2024 White House primary that could include Hogan. [cut] This is not Hogan’s first rodeo for the Reagan library. Indeed, soon after Trump’s defeat at the hands of now-President Joe Biden in the 2020 election, the governor appeared at an event in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the institution. Channeling...

“Those Cuban-CIA men (Bay of Pigs vets) were as tough, dedicated and impetuous a group of soldiers as I’ve ever had the honor of commanding,” wrote legendary anti-communist mercenary “Mad Mike” Hoare, commander of the “Wild Geese,” in his book Congo Mercenary. ''This is the history of a failure,'' said the oddly frank opening lines of Che Guevara’s Congo Dairies. “I stood above Che Guevara, my boots near his head, just as Che had once stood over my dear friend and fellow 2506 Brigade member, Nestor Pino. ‘We're going to kill you all," Che said to Pino.’ Now, the situation...

The New York City venue hosting an individual who attempted to assassinate former President Ronald Reagan says that the attempted assassin "didn't f---" as many lives as the Reagan administration did. John Hinckley Jr., who shot Reagan in 1981, announced he would be performing at the Market Hotel in New York City on July 8. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity. He was 25 when he attempted the assassination, which injured two others and paralyzed Reagan's press secretary, James Brady.

John Hinckley Jr., the man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, is playing a sold-out concert in Brooklyn, New York later this year. Hinckley, 66, announced the show in a Twitter post last week, writing that he will be performing at the New York City borough's Market Hotel on July 8. "Get your tickets while you can," Hinckley wrote at the time. According to Pilot Venue, the website selling tickets to the event, the show is now sold out. Hinckley will be released from the court-ordered restrictions he has lived under for years in June, a month before the...

Maybe he’s looking to land a No. 1 song with a bullet on the record charts. Would-be assassin John Hickley Jr. — who attempted to kill then-President Ronald Reagan in 1981 — has apparently hit his goal of rebranding as a singer. He announced on Twitter Friday that he has scheduled a performance this summer in New York City.

For the last month, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been rallying his people against the vicious brutality of Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Facing near unsurmountable odds, the former comedian has been dodging bullets and bombs – but he’s only been in a position to do so because a former president of another time dodged death from the bullets of would-be-assassin John Hinckley’s gun.

As U.S. intelligence agencies warned that Russia was moving troops close to the Ukrainian border this fall, you could be forgiven for thinking that the Cold War had never ended. President Biden sternly told Russian President Vladimir Putin during a two-hour call that the United States wouldn’t tolerate an invasion, the White House reported. Debate broke out among Washington pundits over how much military equipment the United States could send to Kyiv. Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) even suggested that the United States could use nuclear weapons preemptively to keep Russian soldiers from crossing the border. It all feels depressingly, pointlessly...

Neocon and rabid anti-Trumper Bill Kristol has been getting torched on social media for comparing President Joe Biden’s dangerous call for a regime change in Russia to former President Ronald Reagan’s iconic “tear down this wall” speech. “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden said of Russian leader Vladimir Putin during his speech in Poland.

Dr Anthony Fauci has rowed back on hints that he will soon retire, with 81 year-old saying he thinks the COVID pandemic is still far from over. Speaking a day after he'd said 'I can't stay in this job forever,' Fauci appeared determined to stay when asked on ABC's This Week if he really was thinking of quitting. He answered: 'I'm not so sure, George,' the director of the National Health Institute told anchor George Stephonaupolous. 'I want to make sure we're really out of this before I really seriously consider doing anything different. We're still in this.' 'We have...

In a video address to the German parliament, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky invoked Cold War rhetoric, criticising the left-wing government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz for prioritising economics over peace. Recalling the famous line from America’s President Ronald Regan — who is credited with overseeing the fall of the Soviet Union — Zelensky said before the Bundestag: “Mr Scholz, tear down this wall!”

Having the honor of serving six years in the Ronald Reagan White House, as deputy press secretary then senior director of his National Security Council staff, I've had friends — distraught over the plight of Ukrainians under attack by the murderous Vladimir Putin — ask me: “What do you think President Reagan would have done?”
