Nearly all political sentiment for the past decade has been mediated through the lens of prior reaction to Donald Trump. Those who like the American president, or at least aren’t fixated on him, tend to give his actions in government a fair assessment. So, in the case of the American raid on Caracas to arrest Nicolás Maduro,...
Every law enforcement agency in every red state should take part in the 287(g) program. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently arrested more than 1,500 illegal aliens, including sexual predators and fugitives, in Texas during a 10-day period, the agency announced on Nov. 5. It’s an extraordinary achievement, and a reminder that even with operations of this...
Over the past week, a chain of decisions from Beijing to the Rio Grande has revealed how economic policy, narcotics flows, and national security now move on the same axis. On November 4, the White House issued an executive order cutting the fentanyl tariff on Chinese imports to 10 percent. Within twenty-four hours, China’s Finance Ministry...
For decades, the US fought crime while the cartels fought war. Trump’s designation ends the fantasy and gives America the legal authority to strike back — hard. President Donald Trump has finally named the enemy: Mexican drug cartels. Declaring them unlawful combatants and recognizing a “non-international armed conflict” marks one of the most consequential national...
Each year on September 11th, the nation pauses to honor the lives lost—ringing bells, reading names, and recalling faces forever etched in our collective memory. But remembrance without resolve is hollow. The pledge of “never again” demands action: fortifying the legal, geographic, and bureaucratic seams that our adversaries exploit so that grief never again revisits...
Across continents, democratic nations are grappling with similar threats—mass illegal immigration, the erosion of national identity, and the subordination of citizen welfare to global opinion. Increasingly, voters are rejecting symbolism and electing leaders who deliver solutions. Consider Poland’s recent election, where Karol Nawrocki won a razor-thin 50.89% victory. An amateur boxer and political newcomer, Nawrocki...
Homeland Security reports detail 78 incidents of Mexican authorities violating the border. On Friday, Aug. 8, President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military into action against Mexican and other Latin American drug cartels, taking an anticipated step after declaring these violent groups to be foreign terrorist organizations less than a month into his second term. Sending the military to...
“The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. … As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.” —Abraham Lincoln, 1862 The storm is here. And today, the most radical threat to our Constitution doesn’t come from a foreign army or a global treaty, it comes from...
It’s illuminating when politicians speak the truth accidentally, letting voters know what they only say in private to their colleagues or big donors. A video recently resurfaced of New York Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke saying that her Brooklyn district could “absorb a significant number of these (Haitian) migrants,” because, she continued, “I need more people...
During a recent trip to Europe for a political philosophy symposium, I was both impressed by the young leaders I met and concerned by the situations they were describing in their various home countries throughout the old continent. Young men and women, fluent in geo-politics and global current events alongside four to five different languages,...
While the media focuses on the disturbing incidences of rioting and looting in Los Angeles, it is avoiding telling the public the real story behind the headlines. The left wants you to believe the Trump Administration is carrying out random “raids” targeting hard working migrants who simply came to America to pursue a better quality...
In 1916, after Pancho Villa’s deadly raid on Columbus, New Mexico, President Woodrow Wilson mobilized nearly 110,000 National Guard troops to the southern border. Their mission was clear: repel cross-border incursions, restore order, and secure the American homeland. Four decades later, President Dwight D. Eisenhower faced a different threat—a mass illegal migration crisis, following the...
