So get this. Top justice officials have figured out a way to make the bad guys finance programs that help solve crimes. It’s such a unique solution to a long-standing problem that I just have to share. The district attorney’s office in Manhattan — a jurisdiction that includes one of the preeminent financial centers of […]

It’s called Frontex and, according to its website, the agency “promotes, coordinates and develops European border management in line with the (European Union) fundamental rights charter applying the concept of Integrated Border Management.” Except that it isn’t. As reported by the UK Daily Mail, “Mass immigration is allowing terrorists to sneak into the EU.” In […]

These last several months of the Obama presidency may be the most dangerous time in America’s history, at least domestically. Having nothing to lose and with time waning, Obama is throwing all caution to the wind as he attempts to push as much of his radical anti-freedom agenda as is possible before his tenure comes […]

Over the last 10 months the Conservative Base of Republican voters have been split into two distinct camps: Pro-Trump and Stop-Trump. The majority of Pro-Trump conservatives first gravitated towards his candidacy based on his bold declarations regarding our illegal immigration dilemma. Trump initially took ahardline stance on the issue while conjuring images of the very […]

If you live any distance beyond the Capital Beltway you probably didn’t notice, but an important part of government in Washington shut down on Wednesday, March 16. That’s when the Metro subway system’s recently installed general manager, Paul Wiedefeld, ordered a one-day shutdown of the entire 117-mile system for emergency inspection of track-based power cables. […]

After the 2012 election, when Americans re-elected Barack Obama, Republican Party leadership rightly did some soul searching. Republicans were in shock that Americans could re-elect a man they saw as clearly bad for the country, weakening us at home and fueling instability abroad. Polls showed that Obama’s signature law, the Affordable Health Care Act — […]

As the media focuses on what promises to be “The Mistake On The Lake 2: Electric Boogaloo,” also known as the Republican convention in Cleveland, there’s another tire fire heating up in the City Of Brotherly Hate. The GOP convention looks like it will be a mess, but the Democratic convention a week later could […]

“Donald J. Trump withstood the onslaught of the establishment yet again.” That’s the first sentence in a Trump campaign statement tweeted out Tuesday night by the Washington Post’s Robert Costa. It’s also a strange way to respond to a solid defeat, reminiscent of the Monty Python knight who insists he is winning after both his […]

Words matter. Especially words which when spoken can save lives. But without action, words are empty…worthless…meaningless, especially when we’re talking about genocide. Such are the words of the Obama administration, an administration so preoccupied with majoring on minor things like waging a war prescription drug abuse, it barely has time to notice the things which […]

Whether you believe House Speaker Paul Ryan is a squishy Republican unworthy of the nomination, or you think he’s the sort of rational conservative voice that could save the GOP from doom, there’s one thing he most certainly isn’t: Donald Trump. Then again, the idea that “Donald Trump is just Paul Ryan on steroids,” as […]

On this new special edition of The Unknown, Anni Cyrus focuses onDriven to End Life to Escape Sharia, sharing the tragic story of her friend who faced two choices in a nightmarish Islamic forced-marriage. Don’t miss it. And make sure to watch one of the most powerful episodes of The Unknown: To Be Raped Under […]

After Ted Cruz’s smashing win in Wisconsin, it’s on to New York. Will the Empire State break Cruz’s momentum and give Donald Trump back his lead? The key lies in the rules. Fourteen of New York’s 95 delegates will be elected at large and the remaining 81 will be chosen with three allocated to each […]

When a Republican has been in the presidency for eight years, as George W. Bush was, Democrats run against the Republicans. When a Democrat has been in office for eight years, as Barack Obama will soon have been, Republicans run against Republicans. This is a year in which the multiple failures of the Obama years […]

I constantly hear that only Donald Trump supporters can understand the Trump phenomenon, as if it were inaccessible to nonbelievers, like the secret knowledge of ancient Gnostics. But I don’t believe it’s a matter of comprehension. Trump supporters are so tired of the ruling class and are so adamant about a handful of issues that […]

Despite the fact that they are currently bitter opponents, there are a lot of reasons to believe Donald Trump and Ted Cruz could end up working together in the fall campaign. The basic reason is simple — it’s in each of their best interests to do so. In fact, we already see examples of pragmatism […]

Last week, French President Francois Hollande met President Obama in Washington to discuss joint strategies for stopping the sort of radical Islamic terrorists who have killed dozens of innocents in Brussels, Paris and San Bernardino in recent months. Hollande at one point explicitly referred to the violence as “Islamist terrorism.” The White House initially deleted […]

Donald Trump, when asked, “Do you believe in punishment for abortion?” said, “There has to be some form of punishment.” “For the woman?” asked MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. “Yeah,” said Trump. Hours later, Trump walked it back, and said: “The doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally […]

In a recent interview for the BBC2 series “Inside Obama’s White House,” President Obama sounded somewhat wistful as he spoke to an interviewer about how he has tried to use his voice “to move things toward a more ethical and moral outcome.” The question of morals and ethics has been debated since the dawn of […]

On Tuesday night, Senator Ted Cruz, R-TX, won a sweeping victory over 2016 Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump in Wisconsin. Cruz won virtually every demographic, nearly 50 percent of the vote and the vast bulk of the delegates. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump could fail to reach the necessary 1,237 delegates in order to […]

If you haven’t heard yet, the release of the so-called Panama Papers has revealed that top global leaders such as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iceland’s prime minister may be using companies and other business entities created by a Panama-based firm as a way to avoid taxes or conceal wealth. It’s creating quite an uproar. […]

Every year, more than half a million patients in the U.S. are unknowingly put at risk of contracting a superbug infection during a common medical procedure. A doctor threads a tube-like scope down your throat and into your digestive system to treat cancer and other problems. You assume the tube is clean. Think again. The […]

The McClatchy/Marist poll of March 31, released on Wednesday, shows Bernie Sanders two points ahead of Hillary Clinton nationally (49-47). This poll, of course, was taken before Sanders’ win in Wisconsin. With all the Democratic primaries allocating delegates based on proportional distribution, national popular vote polling has a distinct relevance to future contests. A pattern […]

What does a suffering military veteran have to do to force an unresponsive government to change its ways? How about self-immolating in front of his VA clinic? Hello, paper-pushers and desk jockeys? Are you there? Would the heat, the smoke and the smell of burning flesh rouse you in the least? Nope. Apparently, even this […]

“Should a Jewish baker be (SET ITAL) forced (END ITAL) to bake a cake for a Nazi wedding?” I asked that strange but important question during last week’s debate between three Libertarian presidential candidates. You can see the second hour of that debate Friday, on my Fox Business Network TV show. If you’re disappointed by […]
