President Trump’s administration recently made a bold move, cutting $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University over what it described as antisemitic harassment on campus. At the same time, U.S. immigration agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian graduate student involved in pro-Palestinian protests, as part of a broader crackdown on anti-Israel activists. These actions…
Foreign Aid, Fiscal Responsibility, and a Smarter Way Forward
Foreign aid has always been a hot-button issue in American politics. To some, it represents the best of America—our generosity, leadership, and commitment to helping those in need. To others, it’s an example of out-of-control government spending, too often wasted on corrupt regimes, ineffective programs, and nations that don’t have our best interests at heart.…
Russia’s Hypocrisy: The Myth of Protecting Russian-Speaking Ukrainians
I’ve already debunked two of the most common excuses for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: NATO expansion and “de-Nazification.” Now, let’s tackle another excuse that keeps getting repeated by Moscow and its apologists: 👉 Russia invaded Ukraine to protect Russian-speaking Ukrainians. This claim is Russia’s official justification for its war, but it doesn’t hold up under…
Debunking Russia’s “De-Nazification” Myth
Yesterday, I dismantled the claim that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was justified by NATO expansion. Today, let’s tackle another major propaganda line: the idea that Ukraine needed to be “de-Nazified.” This claim is not just misleading—it’s a deliberate distortion of history designed to justify a war of aggression. The reality? Ukraine is not a Nazi-controlled…
Did NATO Break a Promise? Debunking a Popular Excuse for Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine
Lately, a strange trend has emerged among certain so-called “conservatives” who are bending over backward to justify Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Now, being skeptical of U.S. foreign policy is fair—we’ve certainly had our share of misadventures—but that doesn’t mean we should start parroting Kremlin propaganda like useful idiots. The three main arguments these pseudo-conservatives push…
The Senate’s Shameful Filibuster: Why Protecting Women’s Sports Shouldn’t Be Controversial
This week, something remarkable happened. Gavin Newsom, one of the most left-wing governors in America, admitted that allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports is “deeply unfair.” Yes, you read that right—the same Gavin Newsom who has spent years pushing radical gender ideology is suddenly concerned about fairness. Of course, Newsom’s newfound concern has…
Andrew Cuomo’s Mayoral Bid: Redemption or Political Rebranding?
Andrew Cuomo running for mayor of New York City? Now that’s a plot twist no one saw coming—except maybe Cuomo himself. Three years after resigning in disgrace, the former governor is attempting the mother of all political comebacks, betting that New Yorkers have short memories and even shorter attention spans. The question isn’t just whether…
Trump’s Address: A Defiant Speech, a Dysfunctional Opposition, and the State of the Nation
President Trump’s latest address to Congress was a masterclass in defiance, a blend of policy, bravado, and political theater. It was everything we’ve come to expect from him—bold, brash, and unapologetic. Love him or hate him, the man doesn’t mince words. He doubled down on his key campaign promises, threw out some well-aimed jabs at…
Trump’s Ukraine Gambit: Siding with the Bully, Abandoning the Victim
In a move that has left Ukraine scrambling and Putin smirking, President Trump has ordered a "pause" on all U.S. military aid to Ukraine. This decision, made after a tense meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is yet another signal that Trump is more interested in forcing Ukraine to capitulate than in standing up to…
Why Ukraine Still Matters
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Washington last week with high hopes. He was expecting tough conversations, yes, but also the reinforcement of an alliance that has been critical to Ukraine’s survival. The centerpiece of his visit was supposed to be a minerals deal—one that would give the U.S. a tangible economic stake in Ukraine’s…
