Chinese President Xi Jinping may not need to launch a full-scale invasion of Taiwan to put the island, the U.S. and the global tech economy in crisis, according to national security experts. Some advisers to President Donald Trump reportedly fear Xi could move against Taiwan within the next five years following Trump’s recent summit with the Chinese leader, Axios reported. One Trump adviser told the outlet the summit signaled a “much higher likelihood” that Taiwan could be “on the table” during that window, warning that the highly vulnerable U.S. semiconductor supply chain would not be ready for such a crisis.…

Screenshot Sacramento City Councilwoman Mai Vang, a far-left Democrat now seeking a seat in Congress, is under fire after renewed attention to her repeated refusal to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and instances in which she reportedly turned her back on the American flag during public meetings. Vang is currently serving on the Sacramento City Council while mounting a challenge for California’s 7th Congressional District seat. For millions of Americans, the Pledge of Allegiance is a simple expression of gratitude and patriotism, a moment to honor the republic, the Constitution, and the generations of Americans who fought and died defending…
CODEPINK activist Olivia DiNucci speaks in a social media video following reports of Treasury/DOJ scrutiny over Cuba convoy activities. (Screenshot: @thestustustudio) CODEPINK DC Coordinator Olivia DiNucci has responded to being personally named in the Trump administration’s Treasury and DOJ investigation into the Cuba “solidarity” convoy by doubling down and openly admitting the operation was never just about delivering “medical aid.” Instead, DiNucci framed the entire fiasco as part of a broader transnational “solidarity” pipeline that ties the Cuban communist regime to Hamas-linked Palestine causes, the Iranian theocracy, Congo activism, and radical domestic protests here in America. As The Gateway Pundit reported,…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Across his wide-ranging career, the filmmaker Paul Schrader is probably best known for his “man in a room” style stories. They follow lonely, and usually stoic, men in the throes of some sort of existential crisis, alienated from the world around them. Often, they are shown as literally alone in a room. In “First Reformed” (2017), it was an ascetic pastor who confronts climate doom; in “Taxi Driver” (1976), it was an insomniac cabbie and Vietnam War veteran who spirals into paranoia. Now,…
Beware the Left when they start remembering when there was only “a handful of media outlets out there” that could control the public conversation, keep it within their comfort zone. On her Friday afternoon show, MS NOW host Katy Tur longed for the days when the liberal elite media had a monopoly on fact-checking politicians as she spoke with MS NOW legal analyst Andrew Weissmann about his new anti-Trump book, Liar’s Kingdom. The segment ignored the liberal media’s history of neglecting to factcheck Democrats as the two focused on President Donald Trump and his supporters as the two conversed about…

(L-R) Command Sgt. Maj. (Ret.) Matthew Williams and Lt. Col. (Ret.) William “Will” Swenson On Memorial Day weekend, CBS anchor Margaret Brennan attempted to corner two genuine American heroes – Medal of Honor recipients Lt. Col. (Ret.) William “Will” Swenson and Command Sgt. Maj. (Ret.) Matthew Williams – into badmouthing the United States during a Sunday appearance on Face the Nation. As the country gears up to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the American experiment in 2026, Brennan couldn’t resist injecting her network’s favorite narrative of national “darkness” and despair. Brennan clearly expected them to pile on with the usual…
It’s been a long-time goal of mine to visit all 50 states. A few years back, my mom gave me a scratch-off map for Christmas as a way to track where I’d already been. By then, I’d already racked up a good number.During college, my dad and I did a road trip from New York, where I’m from, to California, where I had an internship that summer. That helped me cross off a lot of states. We got a flat tire in Missouri. I got pulled over in Oklahoma. More tire problems in Texas. We got lunch in New Mexico…

Memorial Day reminds us of the price of freedom. This weekend is a time to remember the Americans who gave everything, and to sit with the terrible weight of what freedom costs. It is also a time to keep faith with the men and women who served beside them. Veterans do not need another round of polished speeches from politicians who forget them after the wreaths are laid. For years, former servicemembers watched Washington move faster for almost every political priority except them. The same bureaucrats who always found money and urgency for illegal immigrants and climate programs told veterans…

On a day when Americans traditionally pause to honor the brave service members who made the ultimate sacrifice, MS NOW opted for a different approach: publishing an opinion piece accusing the U.S. military of wrongdoing in the ongoing conflict with Iran. In her Memorial Day article entitled “The Pentagon can honor our military dead this Memorial Day by committing to fight the right way,” retired Air Force Lt. Col. and MS NOW contributor Rachel E. VanLandingham argues that the best way for the Pentagon to honor fallen troops is by “owning the mistakes” that have killed Iranian civilians, restoring the Civilian…
Stephen Colbert’s final episode attracted only 12 percent of the audience that tuned in to say goodbye to Johnny Carson in 1992. Last week, a mere 6.74 million watched Colbert celebrate himself for the final time on the Late Show franchise, his ego destroyed. Back in 1992, 55 million tuned in to watch Carson for the last time. I know, I know… All the usual-usual excuses apply. Americans are more fragmented today due to streaming and the internet, and blah, blah… Still… Twelve percent?

In fact, Michael Waters argues in The Atlantic that small, forgivable typos are now serving as signs that something was actually written by a human, and hence is worth reading. In a world where everyone expects a ChatGPT’d response, typos have mutated into a mark of authenticity. A misspelled word or two is indicative of the human element. “On a base level, many of us…
The British government is reviewing the ‘Youth Rehabilitation Order’ sentences given to two teenage rapists by a judge who said he didn’t want to “criminalise” the perpetrators. Two 15-year-old boys were spared jail sentences by a British court last week, prompting one of their victims to come forward and question what the point of going to court at all had been, calling the soft-touch sentence akin to being struck in the face. The unnamed girl, who was 15-years-old at the time of the November 2024 attack, has now told British state broadcaster the BBC that going through the process of…
It’s easy to find people on the streets of any major dark-blue metropolis who say they sympathize with the people of the Gaza Strip. It’s a bit harder, but still far too easy, to find people who will openly sympathize with the political faction and terrorist organization that runs Gaza. Almost all of them aren’t Palestinians, so they don’t necessarily know what’s at stake or what they’re cosigning. Very well, a group of performance artists said: If you don’t know what you’re supporting, we’ll trick you into watching it. In a viral video originally posted by Israeli social media advocacy…

New York’s iconic Penn Station will be renovated after the Trump administration pledged $8 billion for the massive project and announced plans not to relocate Madison Square Garden for the project.Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced last week the federal government and Amtrak have selected a group called Penn Transformation Partners as the “master developer” to oversee the redesign and reconstruction of the station, which has long been criticized as an eyesore for the millions of commuters who pass through it every day.

Wisconsin’s governor says he is trying to give the state’s election clerks the freedom and ability to do their jobs, but not everyone is buying it.A federal judge dismissed the Trump Administration’s lawsuit that sought to get Wisconsin’s unredacted voter list. The judge ruled that Wisconsin’s “voter registration lists are not documents subject to production under [federal law]. That makes it unnecessary to decide whether the government has complied with the other statutory requirements to demand records.” Gov. Tony Evers cheered the ruling. “The Trump Administration only wants this info so they can prevent eligible Wisconsinites from voting, sow doubt…
Amazon has turned aside another attempt to use Illinois’ stringent biometrics privacy law to extract a potentially big payout from the company.

In the ruling, the appeals court judges said they were joining with other courts in limiting the reach of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), determining the BIPA law can’t be used to sue companies anytime an…

The segment focused on the NAACP’s new “Out of Bounds” campaign, which urges black athletes and fans to boycott SEC schools in Southern states because of redistricting fights. The argument, according to the network’s framing, is that Southern states are “profiting” from black athletes while supposedly weakening black political power through congressional maps.

As parades make their way down city streets and burgers are flipped on thousands of grills across the nation, let’s take a moment to remember the lives of the nation’s most recently fallen heroes — the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty during Operation Epic Fury.

With the extra day due to the four-day Memorial Day weekend, it is expected to bellyflop at right around $97 million.

As Yale celebrated its 325th commencement last week, the institution’s medical school faced new scrutiny for alleged racial discrimination in admissions. The Department of Justice sent a letter to Yale School of Medicine on May 14 notifying it that “the Department finds that Yale continues to intentionally discriminate against applicants based on their race.” That letter presents evidence that black and Hispanic students were significantly more likely to be admitted than white and Asian students with the same MCAT scores and grade point averages, an outcome that “cannot be explained by a coincidence.” Specifically, “Yale’s use of race resulted in…
Thirty people died in 17 semi-truck crashes caused by noncitizen commercial truck drivers in 2025, according to the Department of Transportation. That number is almost certainly an undercount. Prior to 2025, the immigration status of a commercial truck driver was mostly not recorded in crash reports, court filings, or news coverage. The national conversation focuses on the truck driver at fault for the latest accident, but rarely goes deeper. Why was this truck driver on the highways? What trucking company hired him? How are operations like this still in business? Somewhere between receiving a package from the distribution center to…
Robust regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) and its human developers is essential for the common good to be served rather than naked, undisguised profit. Pope Leo XIV made this clarion call Monday, issuing a sweeping manifesto on safeguarding humankind as AI technology spreads into almost every facet of existence.
