In February 2021, two weeks after he moved into the White House, President Biden reminded the nation’s diplomats of his promise to restore American leadership in the world. In a speech at the State Department, he summed up his election in three words: “America is back.” On Tuesday, Mr. Biden will confront the limits of that promise when he addresses world leaders at the United Nations for his fourth and final time as president. The White House says he will make the case that his “...

Former President Donald Trump slammed Nebraska Republican Sen. Mike McDonnell after the state senator said he would not support a change to the way the state allocates its Electoral College votes that would likely increase Trump’s chances of winning the presidential election in November. Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Monday afternoon that McDonnell is a “Grandstander!” who “decided, for no reason whatsoever, to get in the way of a great Republican, common sense, victory...

A Nebraska Republican state lawmaker said Monday that he remains opposed to switching how the state allocates its electoral votes, effectively blocking a bid by President Donald Trump and his allies to change the system in search of an extra electoral vote this fall. Trump allies have pushed for a special legislative session intended for the Republican-controlled Legislature to change Nebraska's system to winner-take-all instead of awarding electoral votes by congressional...

North Carolina Lieutenant Governor and current Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson’s alleged adult website shenanigans are not what we need right now. It was already bad enough that we would likely lose this North Carolina gubernatorial race, as Robinson’s Democratic opponent, Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein, has held a significant lead over him, an average of nearly 10 points. Last Thursday, Robinson’s alleged online proclivities led to a Sunday Night Massacre, where most...

The investigation is continuing and more charges may be filed.

The Jewish state is under no obligation to tolerate the intolerable. Israel is supposed to tolerate the intolerable. A terror group has launched thousands of missiles into the Jewish state over the last year — catalyzed by a hideous pogrom against Israel carried out by another terror group — and we are told that it is Israel, finally hitting back in earnest, that is dangerously escalating the situation. Since the Hamas atrocities on October 7, Lebanon...

President Joe Biden will attempt to square the diplomatic achievements and goals of his presidency with the grim reality of wars in the Middle East, Ukraine and Sudan during a major address Tuesday at the annual gathering of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the final one of his presidency. With four months left in office, the speech is one of Biden’s few remaining opportunities to frame his foreign policy legacy in front of an audience...

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said he was informed by a whistleblower within the Biden-Harris administration that there are five different known "assassination teams" — "three inspired by other governments" — that are hunting Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Gaetz made the assertion on Thursday on the "Human Events Daily" ...

“Vegas is where you get married, Reno is where you get divorced,” as the saying goes in the US state of Nevada. State law allowing some legal cases to be conducted more quickly and discreetly than elsewhere in the US means this relatively small city has served as the quiet backdrop to dramatic family fallout over a global media empire. Rupert Murdoch and his family flew in from all over the world to determine how the empire would be divided among his children when the 93-year-old...
