Last week, more than 1,000 immigrants surged through the U.S. southern border near El Paso, Texas — the largest number ever encountered by U.S. Border Control and Protection, with the previous record being set in the month of April, which was 424.
After Greece temporarily hosted a pair of U.S. military drones, Greek Defense Minister Panagiotis Kammenos said last fall that, "It's very important for Greece that the United States deploy military assets in Greece on a more permanent base."
Last week, special counsel Robert Mueller — who had been appointed by the Department of Justice two years earlier to investigate the nature and extent of Russian attempts to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election and to determine, if those attempts did occur, whether the Russians had any willing American collaborators in the Trump campaign — came to the cameras and announced his resignation.
Not everyone gets to save the world. Before the colors of the Sixth of June 1944 fade into the mists of time, we remember after the passage of 75 years the uncommon sacrifice of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of America, of Britain and Canada.
Paul Revere probably never yelled "The British are coming." He is quoted by a participant in the first day of the American Revolution as warning that "the regulars are coming" on his famous ride.
My purpose in writing is neither to be political nor to condemn a church.
The Democratic Party has gone totally nuts. They won't support better protection for our southern border, they won't support deportation of illegal aliens, and they propose to give citizenship to the illegals already here, which only entices more illegals to break through, same as it did the last time they offered the deal.
Washington tackle Trent Williams doesn't need any more leverage as he skips mandatory minicamp in hopes of a new contract.
Recently, Fort Worth teacher Georgia Clark had the guts to tweet to President Trump that her school district was full of illegal aliens and drug dealers were on campus regularly. She was immediately fired.
A woman in London has been arrested for stabbing to "death" a blimp mockup of President Donald Trump with what authorities believe was a small pair of cutting shears. And this is curious because London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim to take on a mayoral role in a major Western city, has banned the carrying of knives.
Paul Manafort, scourge of Robert Mueller's special counsel investigators -- a.k.a. Deep State anti-Donald Trumpers, in White House and political truth-telling circles, that is -- has been sent to Rikers Island, the place where prisoners go to be abused. The place where even BLM activist Shaun King says he doesn't belong.
We can disagree at home all we like, but when the president of the United States -- America's president -- goes overseas, we are all Americans. All of us. Whether you voted for the current president or not, Americans are bound together by the simple undeniable bond that we are all, in the end, just that: Americans.
The Federal Reserve's principal tools — adjusting short term interest rates and quantitative easing for accomplishing 2 percent inflation and low unemployment — are radically out of sync with a global economy that relies on the dollar. It's high time U.S. monetary policy be realigned to reflect the reality of managing the global currency.
To many Westerners, the concept of human rights in China is a negative one. However, what is left unexplained by China's critics is a paradox: How could a country with one-fifth of the world's population but no human rights to speak of have made such enormous strides in its economic and social development? The real picture of China's human rights situation is more complex than what stereotypes and assumptions convey. Understanding the truth requires an appreciation of China's history and national aspirations.
It's no secret that the U.S. national debt is out of control and getting worse. The Congressional Budget Office projects that our debt-per-year could reach $1 trillion by 2020. More frightening is the "debt is projected to grow faster than the economy — forever."
Antitrust law should keep business competitors from collaborating to increase prices and depress supply, practices that hurt consumers and competition.
It's graduation season again. Time for speeches and advice from famous and not-so-famous commencement speakers.
For over two years now a peculiar combination of the media and the Democrats have been goading Donald Trump, always to painful effect — painful for both sides in this vituperative battle; but particularly painful to the media and the Democrats. Not much good has come of it.
Our post 9-11 war fighters who are attempting to recover from emotional and physical trauma rely on the compassion of caretakers, re-tooling and role modeling for their healing.
In 2002, Joshua Muravchik, a distinguished scholar, wrote a history of socialism which, he thought, might also be considered an epitaph for socialism.
