We were promised an absolute bloodbath.
During the 2023 election in Argentina, politicians, academics, journalists, and commentators lined up to denounce populist candidate Javier Milei and his plans for “shock therapy,” symbolized by the chainsaw he had taken to brandishing ominously on the campaign trail while shouting, “¡Viva la libertad, carajo!” (“Long live liberty, damn it!”)
Just days before Argentina went to the polls, more than a hundred economists, including superstar Thomas Piketty, published an open letter. They said a win for Milei would “inflict further devastation and social chaos” on a country that was already devastated and in chaos.

Things move fast in wartime, and the geopolitical situation in the Middle East might very well have shifted by the time this piece publishes. Nonetheless, Tuesday night’s ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States is a wonderful step in the right direction. It should be praised. Peace is a good thing.
I have long maintained that war in the Middle East is not in America’s interest and that war with Iran would be unproductive and should be avoided. I want Donald Trump’s domestic agenda of strong immigration enforcement, law and order, and economic growth to succeed. War abroad detracts from those core issues.

just discovered a breathtaking example of leftist bias on Google. I usually consult Thesaurus in Google if I want alternative words. If I look up a phrase I’m writing, let’s say “breathtaking corruption,” I just Google it to find a better way of expressing a phrase. Under those circumstances, you’d expect several examples of something comparable to “incredible corruption.” But would you expect nine paragraphs about a political figure? Bear with me. I am rereading the book, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt (1979) by Edmund Morris. I’m halfway through the 800 page, Pulitzer Awarded masterpiece of writing.

In reports picked up by left-leaning outlets such as the Daily Beast and New Republic, Vatican-oriented freelance journalist Christopher Hale has tweeted that President Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, has met in a private audience with Pope Leo XIV. Axelrod, really?
What kind of message does that send? The pope has declined an offer to visit the U.S. for its 250th anniversary in favor of a trip to visit the illegal migrants on Lampedusa (which might bring him an unexpected round of protests from angry locals sick of being robbed and raped by them) on the grounds that he doesn't want any trip to be political.

Oh-oh, we may be looking at yet another instance of socialism that, gosh darn it, just wasn't done right.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani rode into office on a socialist unicorn after promising everything but free ice cream for life to the children of every voter. There are only two blocs in any electorate who vote for the kind of socialist utopian garbage that Mamdani spouted: young people who are too dumb to know any better, and older people who know better, but are so wealthy they don't care. The latter group is simply looking for a politician whom they might be able to control.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) coordinated its Friday round of strikes on Hezbollah terrorists so precisely that they took out nearly 200 terrorists within a minute’s time. After Iranian terror proxy Hezbollah marked the ceasefire by immediately bombarding Israeli civilians, the IDF, of course, struck back. And completely contrary to all the propaganda that has been circulating nonstop from Jew-haters and Islamic terrorists online, Israel is not targeting Lebanese civilians; it is targeting Hezbollah operatives.

Fifty-five years after Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals landed on shelves in 1971, I am applying to it the only framework that matters: a performance audit. The question is not whether Alinsky's thirteen tactics are morally defensible. The question is whether they worked for the constituencies they claimed to champion. The answer is no — and the data are not subtle. This is not merely a conservative grievance. It is a portfolio performance review. And the returns are dismal.

Iran flexed its leverage in the Strait of Hormuz this week, forcing President Trump to lean on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to scale back deadly strikes in Lebanon ahead of ceasefire negotiations planned in Pakistan this weekend.
However, Israeli attacks on Lebanon continued into Friday, and there’s still almost no shipping traffic passing through the Strait of Hormuz — raising major doubts about the ceasefire as Vice President Vance heads to Islamabad. Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, the Speaker of Iran’s Parliament, who will lead Tehran in the talks, said Friday there will be no negotiations without a ceasefire in Lebanon and a release of blocked Iranian assets.

As is so often the case, the greatest threat to any institution comes from within. Currently, a Groyper movement—that is, a movement built on mindless isolationism, hardcore antisemitism, coy pro-Naziism and Islamism, huge pockets of misogyny, and a barely hidden dislike for America—is trying to co-opt MAGA and the Republican Party. Its leaders are podcast hosts Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, all of whom once claimed to be straight-talking conservatives. Now, they just engage in crazy talk.

new American Energy Institute report shows that foreign billionaires have provided funding upwards of $39 million to the anti-AI data center movement in the United States, with experts saying AI infrastructure must be advanced in order to assert American tech dominance over communist China.
Founder, CEO and Chairman of State Armor as well as expert on Chinese influence in America Michael Lucci told The Center Square: “Either the United States or communist China will dominate artificial intelligence, and therefore, likely dominate the leading technologies of the 21st-century.”
“China is actively executing strategies to win this competition,” Lucci said.

Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday participated in groundbreaking ceremonies highlighting Texas’ energy expansion in both oil and gas and semiconductor manufacturing.
In Port Arthur, Abbott joined Entergy Corporation CEO Drew Marsh and Entergy Texas President and CEO Eli Viamontes and others at a groundbreaking ceremony for Entergy Legend and Lone Star power stations.
The new power stations will expand Texas’ energy capacity by adding 1,200 MW of power to supply electricity to more than 300,000 homes.
In 2023, Abbott broke ground with Marsh and Viamontes at its Orange County Advanced Power Station, a combined-cycle power plant, built near Bridge City next to Entergy Texas’ Sabine Power Plant, The Center Square reported.

Virginia Democrats are swooning over the prospect of wiping out congressional representation for the overwhelming majority of Republicans in the state if voters pass their April 21 gerrymandering referendum. As I wrote here at The Federalist, that ballot question drips with contempt for rural voters as well as the “democracy” Democrats pretend to care about.
How did things change so fast? What’s behind Democrats’ cockiness to behave with impunity like Soviet apparatchiks? Normal Americans are still scratching their heads over the outcome of Virginia’s 2025 election that handed over the governorship and a massive statehouse majority to the Democrats.
