The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has been a fundamental part of U.S. foreign policy, yet its value to American taxpayers is increasingly under scrutiny. President Trump has long argued that the United States bears an unfair burden while its allies benefit without contributing their fair share. The ongoing U.S.-led conflict against Iran and its terrorist proxies has intensified this debate. Why continue allocating billions to an alliance that remains silent when America needs genuine support? When examining NATO’s total defense spending, it is evident that the U.S. contributes significantly. In 2025, the United States is projected to spend approximately…

In the shadow of recent U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran—operations launched under President Trump in early 2026 to dismantle nuclear sites, ballistic missiles, proxy networks like Hezbollah and Hamas, and naval capabilities—the familiar chorus from leftist media and activists has risen once more. They frame this not as a necessary defense against state-sponsored terrorism, but as the desperate thrashing of “American capitalism” in crisis. The same narrative recycled itself after 9/11, when Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza took to the streets in celebration—handing out candy, chanting in joy, but while the media reported about the Gaza invasion they skipped…
Iranian soccer players who publicly defied the regime by refusing to sing the national anthem sought asylum in Australia, but their approval status remained uncertain until President Trump intervened. On Monday, President Donald Trump stepped in decisively, offering them asylum in the United States if necessary and urging Australian authorities to grant them protection. This intervention took place against the backdrop of the Iranian regime’s long-standing brutality. Over the past 47 years, the Islamic Republic has systematically oppressed women and, in recent protests alone, is reported to have killed more than 50,000 of its own citizens. In Iran, peaceful protest…
In a brazen display of anti-Israel activism, Brian McGinnis, a former U.S. Marine and Green Party candidate for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina, disrupted a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on March 4, 2026, by chanting that the United States would not fight for Israel. McGinnis, an Iraq War veteran who served from 2000 to 2004, stood up during the proceedings and shouted slogans such as “No one wants to fight for Israel” and “America does not want to fight this war for Israel,” framing U.S. support for its key Middle East ally as an unwarranted escalation toward conflict…
For months, Iranians risked their lives in the streets for freedom from the Ayatollah’s regime. When the government massacred about 35,000 people in January, leftists around the world stayed silent. Yet as soon as President Trump acted against Iran, those on the left erupted—branding him a dictator and chanting “Death to America” at Columbia University. These are the activists who protested Israel’s actions in Gaza but never condemned Hamas’s massacre, or the Ayatollah’s killings. The activists champion LGBT rights and women’s freedom in the West while ignoring that in Iran, homosexuality carries the death penalty and refusing the hijab can…
Racism is a pervasive global issue with multifaceted roots, including skin color, caste, community, nationality, socioeconomic status, and gender. At its core, racism represents a complex psychological state that, in extreme cases, can manifest as a mental disorder. However, discussions of color-based racism often conflate the race of perpetrators and victims, leading to biased interpretations. Instead, crimes should be addressed as crimes, irrespective of racial identities, to ensure impartial justice. Regrettably, research and information dissemination frequently exacerbate divisions along racial lines. For instance, a 2023 Statista survey reported that 8,842 murderers in the United States were white, compared to 6,405…
What happened to the New York Police Department is a stain on US democracy. On Monday, several NYPD officers responded to a call concerning a disorderly crowd in Washington Square Park, Manhattan. The officers were there to keep the peace during a snowball fight that got out of hand. Despite this, they were pelted with snowballs by the crowd. Some of the officers even received injuries. In a true democracy, every single person has the right to live with dignity—including our police officers. Under New York Penal Law Section 120.08, assaulting a police officer is a Class C felony. If…
In an era where information flows endlessly, Generation Z—born between 1997 and 2012—stands out as surprisingly attuned to political news, a stark contrast to the apathy often attributed to youth. Surveys reveal a surge in teen interest since 2015, with 60% of Gen Z reporting they follow political issues closely, outpacing Millennials at similar ages. This shift isn’t accidental; it’s driven by the omnipresent force of social media, where algorithms curate feeds, infinite scrolls captivate, and the pressure to stay updated fuels constant engagement. While previous generations chose their media selectively, Gen Z’s digital ecosystem has made political awareness almost…
In a bizarre incident that quickly escalated into an international security scare, Israeli fighter jets were scrambled to escort a Wizz Air passenger flight from London Luton to Tel Aviv on February 8, after reports of a “terrorist” threat on board. The panic began when a passenger spotted what appeared to be a threatening message on their phone—a mobile hotspot renamed to the Arabic word for “terrorist.” This alarming situation prompted the pilot to alert authorities, who dispatched jets to intercept and safely guide the plane to Ben Gurion Airport. Upon landing and investigation, it turned out to be a…
In a world where so-called human rights activists scream from the rooftops about every perceived injustice, hypocrisy hits them like a freight train. Just look at the latest stunt from the anti-Israel crowd: organizers of a massive pro-Palestinian flotilla announced their grand plan to “break Israel’s blockade” in Gaza with over 100 boats set to sail in March. This circus was unveiled at the Nelson Mandela Foundation in South Africa, with speakers like Mandla Mandela—grandson of the iconic leader—demanding the world stop Israel from intercepting them, just like in past failed attempts. They’re painting this as a heroic quest for…
