Zack Polanski, the Jewish, anti-Israel leader of Britain’s Green Party, has backed a call to monitor UK-Israeli nationals who have recently served in the Israel Defense Forces, British media reported Wednesday. Polanski signed a letter organized last month by the far-left Declassified Britain publication and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians, which urges tracking the entry of dual nationals as they come into the country as being “in the public interest” due to possible war crimes suspicions. “Nobody wants to live next to a potential war criminal – not least members of the Palestinian community in the UK who have family or friends

I have often expressed puzzlement over the Trump administration’s cease fire in Iran and its strategy going forward. In general, my views align with Scott’s, as expressed earlier today. However, for a more optimistic view, check out Condoleezza Rice’s op-ed in the Wall Street Journal: The war against Iran has been a limited war, and its outcome is likely to be inconclusive. But it has achieved enough to produce a far better Middle East. The three-month military campaign degraded Iran’s ability to project power by significantly damaging its conventional forces, missile stockpiles and proxies. Yes. That was the objective, and the objective has been achieved.

It's been over four years since it became clear that Vladimir Putin couldn't win the war in Ukraine. For most of that time, the Russian president-for-life has maintained the support of his oligarchs and nationalist hawks as he tried to wear down Kyiv and Volodymyr Zelensky, not to mention Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Putin has also managed to keep the Russian economy from collapsing, surprising many observers, but the war has encroached in more significant ways than expected of late. The Wall Street Journal reports today that Putin's core of political and financial support may have soured on the war and wants Putin to end it, but perhaps doesn't

Rumors have swirled all week that the New York Times had a story ready to drop that would make Graham Platner's situation even worse than before. Senate Democrats must have gotten wind of it on Tuesday, as the Wall Street Journal reported that several of them began asking the presumptive Senate nominee from Maine some very pointed and specific questions about his past relationships with women. Other media outlets reported that Platner left DC earlier than expected after these questions arose, with the campaign claiming it had something to do with Platner's father. That turned out to be a lie. The NYT finally dropped the story this afternoon,

There is so much to write about the Henry Nowak murder in Hampshire, it's hard to know where to begin. As horrific as we thought the whole affair was, we didn't know the half of it, and now that we are seeing the response of the Labour Party to the anger in their country, they look even worse than before, which is hard to imagine. In this post, I want to focus on two big issues: the first being Digwa's behavior after he stabbed Nowak several times and how the evidence was hidden from everyone, and the second being how the luminaries

Yesterday, the Department of Justice dropped a superseding indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center, revealing far more evidence it has obtained that pretty conclusively demonstrates that the organization didn't, as it claimed, just pay informants to spy on white supremacist hate groups; it actively organized and paid for activities such as cross burnings, rallies, and even klan robes for individuals who wanted to leave the group. It has the goods. The bank records, the payments, everything. An organization that sued the Klan into bankruptcy then used its own money, collected from donors using its IRS nonprofit status, to prop up these organizations and fund their activities.

Scott Rasmussen still does polling, even though he left Rasmussen Reports and now runs RMG Research. One of his big loves is working for The Napolitan Institute, which he founded to do deep dives into Americans' real attitudes rather than the ones revealed by the flawed and often motivated polling done today. His goal is to "amplify the voice of the American people," rather than just gather data for politicians so they can more easily manipulate people for votes or to change their attitudes through framing issues. It does interesting work, with a more populist tinge, based on what seems to me to be a deep skepticism

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday. You know that was likely to spark a storm of "performance theater" by the Democrats, peppering Rubio with questions that were outside the subject of the hearing. But Rubio has shown that he's truly adept at dealing with these characters. My colleague Bob Hoge reported earlier on Wednesday on how he sliced and diced Rep. Ted Lieu (CA-36), who was trying to push a bizarre conspiracy about President Donald Trump, claiming that Trump "keeps going to hospitals" (he doesn't) and that no one has seen him in eight days (we see him all the time).

Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) suggested to a group of supporters that the 77 million+ Americans who voted for President Donald Trump are ignorant and ill-informed. Murphy, the Deputy Democratic Conference Secretary who is said to be on the shortlist to one day replace Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in leading Senate Democrats, recently insulted millions of Americans by suggesting to Fox News that they are total rubes and “actually don’t know much,” living as zombies. “There are lots of Trump voters who don’t know much about the facts,”

Incumbent Karen Bass will advance to a November runoff election in the Los Angeles mayoral race after finishing as the top candidate in the city’s nonpartisan primary on Tuesday. “I appreciate you for standing with me when others doubted me, because you know who I am,” Bass told supporters after she successfully punched her ticket for the runoff. “I have devoted my entire life to serving the city that I love, where I was born, and I’m going to continue to do that all the way to victory in November.” It was not immediately clear

Ten days and counting of anti-ICE riots outside New Jersey’s Delaney Hall. Threats made to the safety of performers booked for a national celebration of America’s 250th birthday. We could be in for another long, hot summer of leftist violence. Last week rocker Bret Michaels pulled out of the planned Freedom 250 State Fair in Washington, DC, citing “concerns” regarding “the safety of my fans, band, crew, family and myself, including threats that are completely unfounded and unforgivable.” An earlier Freedom 250 event was marred by vandalism, NBC News reported Tuesday, when saboteurs cut fuel lines and contaminated the National Mall.

In California, the term “Election Day” is really a misnomer — it’s election month, at least. Ballots were sent out for Tuesday’s primary on May 4 to every eligible voter, which amounts to over 23 million people. Folks have been voting ever since. So Tuesday marks the end of a seemingly never-ending period that ends this evening; it’s hardly election day. Well, perhaps we’ll know the winners and the losers by the end of the evening, you might argue, so we can still call it "election night." Oh no, no, no, this is the Left Coast, and things get strange out here. It can take weeks
