January 30th, 20260The history of American power is, in many ways, the history of reinventing rules, or designing new ones, to fit U.S. strategic interests.
This may sound harsh, but it is a necessary realization, particularly in light of President Trump’s latest political invention: the so-called Board of Peace.
Some have hastily concluded that...
January 23rd, 20260President Trump might be popping corks, toasting “one of the most stunning, effective and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history.” Celebrations, however, are premature. In reality, the assault on Venezuela and kidnapping and transfer of President Maduro to stand trial in U.S. court are by no...

On June 10, 1963, standing at American University, John F. Kennedy said something that now feels almost radical in its simplicity: “We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.” It was not just rhetoric. It was a direct challenge to a way of thinking about war that had...
January 9th, 20260Owen Shroyer has never been a figure built for quiet loyalty. His rise came inside the loud and confrontational universe of populist media, a space where certainty is prized and compromise is treated as weakness. Yet in recent months, Shroyer has turned that confrontational style inward, directing it not at liberals or the political...
December 26th, 20251For decades, the Arab rulers of the Gulf have lived inside a fantasy — one in which their skyscrapers, oil wealth and American alliances somehow guarantee their dominance of the region. But the future of the Arabian Gulf will not belong to them. It will belong to Iran. And not because Iran is loved, admired or embraced, but because...
December 19th, 20250Tucker Carlson’s appearance on Theo Von’s podcast This Past Weekend unfolded less like a structured interview and more like a long unguarded conversation that drifted toward subjects most mainstream platforms approach cautiously. Theo Von’s curious and disarming style gave Carlson room to speak without the time limits or tonal...

In one week, the Trump administration passed a United Nations Security Council resolution on Gaza and released a 28-point peace plan for Ukraine. Commentators and critics have noted both similarities and profound differences between the two initiatives.
First, both plans appear to be driven by the simple and commendable goal of...
December 12th, 20250President Trump’s “Board of Peace” is reportedly set to be announced before the year’s end. This news coincides with increasing reports that the U.S. administration is serious about pushing forward the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire.
However, many critical questions remain unanswered. How can a governing council be...
December 5th, 20250WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Trump has signed an executive order directing his administration to begin the process of formally designating certain branches of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations.
Under this executive order, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent must work with...
December 5th, 20250United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803 is destined to fail. That failure will come at a price: more Palestinian deaths, extensive destruction and the expansion of Israeli violence to the West Bank and elsewhere in the Middle East.
Why UNSC Resolution 2803 is doomed to fail
The resolution, passed on November 14, was a...
November 21st, 20250In the days after October 7, 2023, then-President Biden cautioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to make the same mistakes the U.S. made following 9/11. Biden never publicly spelled out his meaning, but it was understood as a warning to Netanyahu: Don’t overreact or overreach, as President George W. Bush had done by...
November 20th, 20250It caught my attention recently when two senators issued a news release about trying to repeal laws that authorize the president to use military force against Iraq. This is a positive effort for several reasons. It deserves support.
First, as the senators, Indiana Republican Todd Young and Virginia Democrat Tim Kaine, point out, the...
November 14th, 20250FARMINGTON HILLS — Detroit’s branch of CODEPINK, the national anti-war feminist organization, held a protest on Monday outside the Farmington Hills district office of U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, a Michigan Democrat, denouncing her decision to place “foreign interests above the interests of her constituents.”
The protest centered on...
November 13th, 20250Megyn Kelly has long been known as a sharp interviewer who occupies the moderate space inside conservative media. She built her reputation on tough questions, cool analysis and an ability to challenge anyone who sat across from her. In recent years, however, her voice has taken on a new charge. She is openly rejecting the political...
November 7th, 20250The world has become a witness to unimaginable suffering. In Gaza, entire families have been erased from the registry of the living. Children, once filled with laughter, now silenced by hunger, dust and fear, stare blankly from hospital beds that have no medicine in hospitals that no longer have walls. Every explosion feels like an echo...
October 24th, 20250The ink had barely dried on the ceasefire agreement when the bombs began to fall again. The air that was supposed to carry the sighs of relief now carries the roar of warplanes. The brief illusion of peace between Israel and Hamas has vanished into smoke and rubble. Both sides are trading accusations like gunfire. Israel claims that...
October 17th, 20250Temporary peace, permanent doubt: The fragile truce between Israel and Gaza
Here is a clear-eyed look at the new Israel Gaza ceasefire. It is a moment many people prayed to see. The guns have fallen quiet. Hostages are coming home. Prisoners are stepping off buses to tearful embraces. The United Nations and aid agencies are rushing...
October 17th, 20250If President Trump hopes to earn a Nobel Peace Prize, he’s going to need to do better than his 20-point “Comprehensive Plan to End Gaza’s Conflict.” Characteristically exaggerating, Mr. Trump called the plan’s release “one of the greatest days in human history”, but poring over Arab, Israeli, and U.S. press reveals that...
October 9th, 20250President Trump got one thing right in his combative speech to the United Nations General Assembly last month. The U.N., he said, had such great promise, but it has failed to live up to its potential. Few reasonable people would disagree.
But Trump’s approach to the organization’s perceived failures is exactly wrong. Insulting its...
October 3rd, 20250For decades the American political establishment has treated support for Israel as an unshakable pillar of foreign policy. Presidents, senators and governors tripped over themselves to prove loyalty to Tel Aviv, while critics were sidelined and smeared. Yet a profound shift is underway. The tide is turning, and Israel no longer enjoys...
October 3rd, 20250DEARBORN – Over the past week, the city of Dearborn witnessed a series of memorial events honoring the lives of five victims — including three children from the same family — who were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the southern Lebanese city of Bint Jbeil on September 21.
The Lebanese American community in Dearborn, which...
September 12th, 20252There are moments in American history when a voice rises above the static of politics, a voice that dares to question what has been presented as unquestionable truth. Tucker Carlson has become such a voice. In an era where conformity is often rewarded and dissent punished, he has stepped into the storm with an uncommon blend of clarity...
August 15th, 20250Lebanon’s leaders have just lit a fuse they may not be able to put out. In a move backed and pushed by Washington, the Lebanese government has approved a U.S.-designed plan to disarm Hezbollah by year’s end. The army has been ordered to draft the blueprint, dismantle resistance positions across the country and coordinate with U.N....
August 15th, 20250Our understanding of an historical event’s meaning is a function of two factors. The first is what we choose to identify as the starting point leading up to the event. The second is the lens through which we view it. This should be obvious, but unfortunately it is not, and the failure to acknowledge or understand it has consequences in...
August 7th, 20250In a recent and highly charged interview that has reverberated across international political discourse, Tucker Carlson sat down with Professor John Mearsheimer, one of the most respected and controversial voices in American foreign policy analysis, to discuss the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. The conversation, released as...
July 18th, 20250In the shadow of yet another potential war in the Middle East, the United States once again flirted with the brink of disaster. After decades of failed interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Yemen, one might think the American appetite for military adventurism would be thoroughly exhausted. And yet, over the past several...
July 6th, 20250Amnesty International issued a report on Thursday detailing that a controversial Israeli- and U.S.-backed system to distribute aid in Gaza uses starvation tactics against Palestinians to continue to commit genocide in the Gaza Strip during Israel’s war with Hamas.
The U.K.-based human rights group condemned Israel and the Gaza...
July 5th, 20250The Israeli genocide in Gaza, along with the escalating regional wars it has ignited, has brought two chilling truths into our focus: first, Israel is deliberately and aggressively undermining the security and stability of the entire Middle East and, second, Israel is utterly incapable of surviving on its own.
These two assertions,...
