President Trump recently unveiled one of his most important initiatives called the “America First Investment Policy.” It’s supposed to end Wall Street’s insane practice of using U.S. retail investors’ retirement and other funds to help the Chinese Communist Party threaten our people – and repress those of China. Yesterday, Ronald Reagan’s financial warfare expert, Roger…

President Trump – like his predecessors – has insisted that Sharia-supremacist Iran will not be allowed to get “the Bomb.” Unfortunately, the ayatollahs can probably reveal at any time that they have done so. So, there’s great urgency to the ultimatum Mr. Trump gave  Iran’s regime this week, to either resume denuclearization negotiations or face…

Five years ago, the world met Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus. An Ethiopian Marxist plucked from obscurity by the Chinese Communist Party to run the World Health Organization declared a pandemic emergency involving a new virus dubbed COVID-19. Given his patron, it should have been no surprise that this unaccountable international bureaucrat immediately began parroting China’s lies…

Samuel Johnson called second marriages “the triumph of hope over experience.” So is the Kurds’ agreement yesterday to end their control over much of northern Syria, relinquishing the safe haven to the al Qaeda-tied Sharia-supremacists who seized Damascus last year. Unfortunately, the announcement comes as jihadis who helped achieve that feat have been murdering large…

On Saturday, the Trump administration arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of pro-Hamas demonstrations promoting “the end of Western civilization” at Columbia University and Barnard College. The action follows the cancellation last week of $400 million in federal funding to the university over its “failure to police anti-Semitism” there.  These actions are the first fruits of…

Can we “live without Taiwan”? The claim that we can buy the nominee to be the third-ranking official in the Pentagon has stirred controversy. The question is a strategic, if not literal one. Communist China’s interruption of our economic and military dependence on Taiwan’s unique, extremely high-quality chip-manufacturing capability could prove devastating. Ditto Taiwan’s conquest…

President Trump sent what might be called a literal “mash note” to the terrorist group Hamas yesterday, declaring: “Release all the hostages now, not later, and return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you….Not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as…

Last night, Donald Trump laid out an extraordinary blueprint for renewing the USA. Unlike most such addresses to Congress that are long on promises, few of which are ever fulfilled, this president has already acted in myriad ways on what he calls “the liberation of America.” Notably, Mr. Trump immediately closed our borders. As he…

President Trump will address Congress tonight on the theme of restoring America. It is hard to overstate the importance – and the comprehensiveness – of his efforts so far to do just that. Our chief executive has striven to reestablish the values, renew the institutions, and redirect the priorities of a nation that Barack Obama…

It’s easier to pause conflicts than resolve them. Absent decisive military outcomes, ceasefires like the latest Mideast ones have simply given Israel’s enemies the opportunity to regroup, rearm, and resume hostilities at will. The lesson has not been lost on Ukraine. President Trump understandably seeks to stop the carnage there. So, he fashioned a deal…

President Trump has providentially tapped retired general “Raizin” Caine to be the next Joint Chiefs Chairman. That extraordinary step was prompted by this can-do warrior’s swift defeat of ISIS others insisted would take years. Such leadership and initiative is needed now regarding Mr. Trump’s directive for a Pentagon plan within weeks to defend the American…

Taiwan yesterday denounced Chinese military incursions, including “shooting exercises” in international shipping routes. Such drills demonstrate the Chinese Communist Party’s capability for no-notice action against the democratic island nation. President Trump declined yesterday to say how he would respond to such an attack. And defense contractor RAND recently engaged in astonishing “threat deflation,” contending that “the People’s Liberation Army remains focused…
