Ed Morrissey: Kharg Island Checkmate

Donald Trump has an opportunity to go for the jugular in his war with the Iranian terror regime—and the IRGC has provided a perfect pretext for it now. During the first phase of the war, both sides kept the oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz. As Iran’s other deterrents have failed, they have…

Carol Platt Liebau: Mamdani and the Normalization of Jew Hatred

Americans recently learned that Rama Duwaji, the wife of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, “liked” some vile Instagram posts. Seventy of them.  One described the New York Times’ reporting on the sexual violence during the October 7 attacks as a “mass rape” hoax the newspaper supposedly “fabricated.” …

Albert Mohler: Realigning the Global Order

President Trump is realigning the global order—and the consequences are massive. I’m referring most immediately, of course, to the ongoing military action in Iran. The U.S. and Israel are involve. But the Gulf States are now involved as well—and their increasingly aligned directly with the United…

Seth Leibsohn: Don’t Trust Our Mainstream Media

School children used to be taught about the dangers of yellow journalism, a practice where the media would falsify stories to inspire support for war, as in “you furnish the pictures, I’ll furnish the war.” Today, the practice is back, stronger than ever—but now it’s on the side against us. When A…

Carol Platt Liebau: As the Feminists Do Nothing

As the world marked International Women’s Day, an international incident reminded us what real repression looks like — and how silent many so-called “feminists” have become.

Carol Platt Liebau: Good Riddance

This year marks 25 years since September 11, 2001. Since then, America has grown older, and soberer. We’ve learned the hard way that even the world’s greatest military cannot remake the Middle East. After Iraq and Afghanistan, few Americans want another long conflict in a distant land. But let’s…

Hugh Hewitt: "Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is Now Toxic

Carol Platt Liebau: Feminist Hypocrisy on Iran

As we watch the fall of Iran’s hardline Islamist regime, nothing has been more moving than the palpable, heartfelt joy of the country’s women. They’re dancing in public. Singing. Throwing off the hijabs that have been forced on them for decades by a theocratic dictatorship. America acted to prote…

Albert Mohler: An Open Door

The world order can be reshaped in just a matter of hours—or even just minutes. Just as Iranians were starting their new work week on Saturday, leaders in Israel and the United States launched an attack. By the end of the day, the second supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Kh…

Hugh Hewitt: Persevere

As we watch the ongoing campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran, President Trump now faces a decision on when to end the battle. A premature end will almost certainly lead to another war. This regime refused to stop its nuclear program, its missile program its exported terrorism after Presi…
