In early 1975, I took an in-depth special course on the Middle East at the University of Tulsa by one of my favorite political science professors. It proved to be one of the most impactful intellectual experiences of my life, with ongoing consequences for decades. The professor was Joseph R. Rudolph Jr. I was, like most students I was acquainted with, as well as most other persons in my community, someone profoundly ignorant and unaware of the actual situation in the Middle East beyond the headlines and the propaganda from the establishment regime media. Most of the other students in…

What the hell is wrong with people? Soccer legend Lionel Messi transcends being merely one of the world’s most renowned athletes, he ranks among the most famous figures in any field.

Nearly every American household — mine included, sadly — has been touched in one way or another, by the scourge of Alzheimer’s disease. This is true across demographics, income brackets, and political identities. Today, more than seven million people in the United States live with this illness, and millions more are caring for loved ones who can no longer take care of themselves. Cognitive decline —once thought of as an unavoidable part of aging — is no longer a foregone conclusion, however. Modern science is giving us the chance to intervene earlier and may soon allow us to prevent the…
Who said college football season was over?! At first glance, we all thought this weekend was going to be a slow one in terms of college football considering there weren’t many games Saturday.

On Friday morning, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee played politics, releasing 19 photos from the Epstein estate, including several featuring Donald Trump, long before he was President, pictured with various women. Bill Clinton, the former Prince Andrew, Woody Allen, Bill Gates, ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon and billionaire Richard Branson were also featured in the photos selected for release, but as the Democrats probably expected, the media focus was on Trump, and on Friday evening’s edition of CNN’s The Source, host Kaitlan Collins didn’t disappoint them. In two of the photos, the women posing with Trump had their faces redacted, including six…

We were told it was never going to happen. It just happened. Two American soldiers, members of the Iowa National Guard, and a civilian interpreter were killed in a Muslim terrorist attack.

Joe Biden at 2024 Christmas tree lighting ceremony In September, it was revealed that Joe Biden wants to build his presidential library in Delaware. At the time, we suggested that raising the money for this project was going to be a challenge for him. We were right about this, of course. The New York Times is now reporting that the Biden library foundation did not bring in a single new donation in the entire year of 2024. They have not shared their information for 2025, which suggests it probably was not much better. This project seems pointless on its face.…

Another day, another Islamic ‘War on Christmas’.December 14, 2025 by Daniel Greenfield Leave a Comment France just canceled its New Year’s Eve celebration. It’s on high alert citing a ‘very high’ risk of Muslim terrorist attacks on Christmas markets while citing past Islamic terror attacks on Christmas markets. Especially in Germany. Here’s another one. What makes this one stand out is the seeming brazenness of it. In Lower Bavaria, several men are suspected of planning a vehicle attack on a Christmas market. Arrest warrants have been issued for four of them. Authorities suspect an Islamist motive. What was their first…

I know that right know the uppermost thought in your mind is “How is Joe Biden doing” and “I hope he’s raising enough money to build a presidential library to convey his legacy of pardoning major criminals and family members with an autopen”. Bad news though, it seems like it’s hard to turn influence into cash when you have no more influence. In filings with the Internal Revenue Service, Mr. Biden’s library foundation revealed that it had not received any new donations in 2024, the final year of his presidency. The foundation was instead seeded entirely with $4 million left…
Any headline that begins with “Former Nazi War Criminal”, “After injecting Heroin” or “Obama judge” is not going to end well. This one certainly doesn’t.

Since President Trump sealed the border after resuming office in January, illegal crossings have gone down significantly. The previous four years under the Biden regime created a very chaotic situation for the US, considering there were an estimated 15 million illegals who entered the country. Law enforcement agencies like the Texas DPS have worked tirelessly to arrest human smugglers and capture illegal aliens, which they have given over to the Border Patrol. The DPS pursued a human smuggler on a high-speed chase in late November, driving a van with 10 illegals locked inside, in Webb County. Juan Antonio Aleman, who…

In recent weeks, media attention has once again fixated on Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump. Old photographs, vague associations, and recycled talking points have been repackaged to imply wrongdoing—even though Trump’s documented relationship with Epstein ended years before Epstein’s crimes became public. Epstein was a wealthy financier with access to heads of state, billionaires, academics, and global power brokers. In that world, proximity alone was not unusual. The problem is not that powerful people crossed paths with Epstein. The problem is how long those relationships lasted, how deeply they extended into Epstein’s private world, and what sworn testimony and records…
