"In different but equally vital ways, America and Europe benefit from the mere presence of Israel among the nations of the Earth. And as Josh Hammer rightly emphasizes in his important book, there is a convincing foreign-policy realist basis for America’s alliance with Israel."…

Hamas could have stopped this on October 8, and they didn't. The prolonged suffering for everybody is on Hamas. And I'm outraged that the U.K., Canada, France, they're blaming the wrong perpetrator. They need to start putting the pressure on Hamas. npr.org/2025/05/21/nx-…

Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out.
An open letter to @Bart_DeWever expressing concern over the recent Antifa attack on yet another @MCC_Brussels event—following last year’s failed attempt to shut down @NatConTalk Brussels on #April16. Will Brussels’ free speech defenders speak up now? We must not give in to…
President Trump told UNGA in 2017 that he would not tell other countries how they should think, govern themselves, or worship their God. He has always been against using the US military to push our culture onto others. He has always a proponent of self-determination. His speech…
I rarely praise Trump but this is a genuinely incredible speech I've been arguing for close to a decade that the single biggest reason for the growing divide between the West and "the rest" was the West's inability to accept diversity (the genuine kind,…
President Trump’s entire speech yesterday was masterful, but this clip is the crux: “the so-called ‘nation builders’ wrecked far more nations than they built.” Trump’s foreign policy is beautifully straightforward: each nation is sovereign, unique, and has a better chance of…

Details on the allegations that the Hungarian opposition is working with the Ukrainian intelligence services. If this is true it’s a pretty big deal. 🇺🇦🇭🇺
1/10 Since the onset of the Russia-Ukraine war, Hungary has consistently maintained a pro-peace stance—closely aligned with the new U.S. administration, prioritizing our national interests without aligning with any warring party. This position starkly contrasts with the…
