It's the end of an era in American politics. Vice President Dick Cheney spent five decades as a leader in our country – as a member of the House, an official in three different administrations.
Cheney reinvented the office of Vice President, with the support of President George W. Bush. He acted as a master strategist for the war on terror, promoted the effort to export liberty as a forward defense strategy, and helped ensure that the US did not suffer another devastating attack in the years after 9/11.
Cheney charted his own course, and became a lightning rod for criticism, from both the Left and the Right. No man serves his country for as long as he did without attracting critics and opponents. We have plenty of time to assess his legacy.
However, we should remember and celebrate the many years that Cheney devoted to our nation and his tireless work on our behalf. Rest in peace, Mr. Vice President, and thank you.

The images from Nigeria are heartbreaking. Women and children are being slaughtered, babies murdered, and Christian communities destroyed. It’s almost too horrific to comprehend.
So it was both important and welcome when President Trump designated Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern.” The U.S. is calling out the atrocities being committed against Christians just for living out their faith.
The CPC designation matters. It pressures Nigeria’s government to act — and signals that America is watching. So do warnings there will be consequences if persecution continues.
Since Nigeria’s current president took office in 2023, more than ten thousand people have been killed.
And yet the United Nations — and the loud voices on “human rights” in Gaza — stay silent.
Kudos to the Trump administration for supporting African Christians.

The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk has sparked a wave of engagement from conservative shareholders of MasterCard, alphabet, PayPal, Salesforce, meta, Amazon, Texas Instrument, Starbucks, and others.
Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA has been listed on the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate map and the SPLC's rhetoric has now been linked to multiple acts of violence.
Conservative investors are pushing back.
The Heritage Foundation and portfolio manager David Monson are leading these proposals, demanding that these companies stop using SPLC data to guide policy.
The message is clear: The vague and politicized narrative is bad business. If you own stock in or use these companies: Speak up, vote your shares, the SPLC doesn't speak for corporate America or its shareholders.
Political neutrality isn't just fair, it's smart business.

America has a huge illegal drug poisoning problem. From 2021 to 2024 the American drug poisoning death toll was six times the number of deaths from Vietnam, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined. Six times the number of Americans died from drugs in four years compared to Americans who died in those combined wars that lasted decades. In those four years, nary a peep was heard from the White House—and neither the President nor Vice-President gave a single speech on it.
Help is on the way.
A dynamic communicator in Sara Carter has been nominated Drug Czar; we have sealed the border, stopping much of the flow of fentanyl; we are arresting cartelized gangs; and taking out drug boats in international waters. These are huge gains in addressing the supply side of the drug problem and, combined with demand side prevention messaging, we could be on the cusp of turning around this too-undiscussed pandemic of death.
Kudos to the Trump administration for taking on this neglected, but deadly serious, issue. Lives will be saved.

As we look at the New York City mayor’s race and the prospects of their actually electing Zohran Mamdani, the questions are emerging:
How bad could he be?
And:
How bad could it get?
The answers are "very" and "very much worse than it is right now, which isn’t great to begin with."
Many Cuomo voters are throwing in with Cuomo for the most practical of reasons: 300,000 people work for New York City and Comrade Mamdani has no idea how to run a city of that size.
Whatever your ideology, no one wants to live through a disaster in governance. That’s what a vote for Mamdani is: A vote for chaos.
New York City is no place for a rookie mayor. Pray that a surge of usually indifferent voters turns up by Tuesday, that they vote for Cuomo and resist the temptation to throw away their vote on Curtis Sliwa. The stakes are just too high.

Twenty-four years ago it would have seemed unimaginable. Americans stood in horror watching the World Trade Center collapse—2,753 innocent people murdered by Islamist terrorists. Now, incredibly, a radical Muslim is poised to become New York City’s mayor.
Zohran Mamdani’s rise could be an American success story—proof our country isn’t the racist place the Left claims it is. But his politics make that impossible.
He’s refused to condemn the antisemitic chant “globalize the intifada.”
He’s been photographed with a potential co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. And one of his associates claimed America deserved 9/11.
When critics raise concerns, Mamdani and his allies cry “Islamophobia.” But it’s not bigotry to reject hatred and extremism—or to remember the lives lost on 9/11.

Thirteen times. Republicans have offered Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats that many opportunities to reopen the government with a clean continuing resolution. Thirteen times … and Schumer and his caucus chose again and again times to keep the federal government closed—all in an attempt to force Donald Trump and the GOP to repudiate their reconciliation bill reforms.
This game of chicken only gets worse for Democrats. Federal workers will miss another paycheck at the end of the week. Their largest union demanded that Senate Democrats pass the CR—but to no avail.
Worse yet, payments for food stamps will halt on Saturday unless the Senate can restore its funding. That will impact some 30 million Americans—and what’s on their kitchen tables--immediately.
Senate Majority Leader Thune told reporters several Democrats want to end the standoff, but they fear retribution from the radical Left if they end the filibuster. Perhaps they should fear the hard-working, working class American voters they’re throwing under the bus instead.
