Under Weak Democrat Leadership, U.S. Unprepared For Looming War With China

The Commission on the National Defense Strategy recently released a report warning that the United States faces the most severe and pressing defense challenges since 1945. The report not only emphasizes the potential for a near-term major war but also underscores the urgent need for action, making the gravity of the situation clear.

The commission, having meticulously reviewed both public and classified information, has identified China and Russia as major adversaries seeking to undermine the United States’ global influence. However, the commission’s greatest concern lies with China. Its report reveals that “in many ways, China is outpacing the United States and has largely negated the U.S. military advantage in the Western Pacific through two decades of focused military investment,” which is a cause for grave concern.

Kamala Harris and Her Hollow Opportunity Economy

Two weeks ago, Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris finally released a list of policy issues that she said she would fight for if elected president. One does not have to read much about her policy proposals to see that she is no longer hiding her hard-line leftist ideological ambitions.

It is easy to criticize left-leaning policies on their ideological merits, but it is just as necessary—if not more—to pinpoint the flawed economics that goes into something so blatantly ideological as Harris’s policy platform.

What will replace Hezbollah?

In the summer of 2019, I took one of Beirut’s vintage Mercedes taxis to the city’s southern suburbs. I was in Dahieh to meet Lokman Slim, a prominent Lebanese researcher and fierce critic of Hezbollah. Slim, together with his German-born wife, lived and worked in a villa right under the group’s nose. I, like many locals, wondered how Slim was tolerated amid Dahieh’s rows of dense beige apartment blocks, less than a mile away from the infamous auditorium where Hezbollah broadcasts Hassan Nasrallah’s speeches to the world.

AOC and Omar Melt Down Over Detonations of Hezbollah’s Pagers

Far Left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) wasted no time condemning Israel for the simultaneous explosion of pagers across Lebanon last week targeting Hezbollah users of the communication devices. “Israel’s pager attack in Lebanon detonated thousands of handheld devices across of a slew of public spaces, seriously injuring and killing innocent civilians,” she posted on X. “This attack clearly and unequivocally violates international humanitarian law and undermines US efforts to prevent a wider conflict.”

Why crypto high rollers are betting millions that the polls are wrong on Trump

Donald Trump, at the time of writing, has a 47pc chance of winning November’s US election. On July 16, three days after the Republican presidential candidate narrowly avoided death at a Pennsylvania rally, it peaked at 72pc. At the start of the year it was around 40pc.

These numbers are based on close to $1bn (£750m) wagered on Polymarket, a cryptocurrency-based predictions website, by wannabe super-forecasters who believe they can beat the polls.

The West’s reckless dishonesty over Lebanon

If a keffiyeh-adorned posh kid on a leafy campus were to hold forth on the Israel-Lebanon clash without once saying the word ‘Hezbollah’, none of us would be surprised. To the West’s à la mode loathers of Israel, the Jewish State is responsible for every ill in the Middle East, and its foes are always blameless. But for a world leader to do it, to pontificate on this bloody battle without mentioning the ruthless terror outfit whose rocket fire started it, is unforgivable.

Trudeau is intent of destroying Canada.

Trudeau enjoys summit season, detached from Canadian reality

As Canadians struggle with an economy still dealing the effects of inflation, an affordability crisis, a housing crisis and rising unemployment, fear not, Justin Trudeau is looking out for you by speaking to other global celebrities.

Justin has convinced himself that he is a man of international stature rather than the blowhard from Canada who sits funny.

Justin Trudeau’s sweaty, uncomfortable appearance on Stephen Colbert was a warmed-over throwback to happier times

… Some years (and massive upheavals in popularity) later, and Trudeau’s goodwill late night tour feels a little sweaty, and desperate. Introduced as “a former teacher and amateur boxer,” the Prime Minister spent the extended interview — split by two commercial breaks! — smiling uncomfortably, answering softball questions about his official titles (just “Prime Minister,” not “Mr. Prime Minister”), and generally bigging up the country that, for the time being, he still runs.

He embarrasses Canada.
