The world’s 280 million immigrants have greater shares of Christians, Muslims, and Jews than the general population, according to a new Pew Research Center study released Monday. “You see migrants coming to places like the US, Canada, different places through Western Europe, and being more religious—and sometimes more Christian in particular—than the native-born people in those countries,” said Stephanie Kramer, the study’s lead researcher. While Christians make up about 30 percent of the...

The 2023-2024 campaign season is not just the strangest on record, it's also arguably the most anti-democratic. Ostensibly, the Democratic Party has claimed over the last decade that former President Donald Trump posed a continued and existential threat to the republic. That allegation subsequently justified a variety of anti-democratic means to neuter his first two presidential candidacies, his presidency, and now his third and final run for the White House. A near decade ago, we...

The Democratic convention wrapped up with Vice President Kamala Harris’ speech accepting the party’s nomination for president. She made some misleading or unsupported claims about her opponent, including several we’ve heard this week. Harris claimed former President Donald Trump “intends to enact what in effect is a national sales tax” that would “raise prices on middle-class families by almost $4,000 a year.” That’s a speculative estimate from a liberal think tank based on the upper-end of...

Vice President Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech started slow, getting bogged down in a familiar recitation of her biography. But it got stronger over time, really hitting its stride when she got around to a topic that’s often dry: foreign policy. There, she showed a facility with policy and an aptitude for navigating deeply divisive issues like Israel-Palestine that did wonders for her commander-in-chief credibility. Part of what worked was Harris’s palpably emotional delivery. But there...

CLAIM: Kamala Harris said on Thursday that Donald Trump’s proposal to impose a 10 percent tariff on imports would be a sales tax on Americans. In her speech at the convention, Harris claimed Trump’s tariffs would be a “national sales tax, a Trump tax.” VERDICT: FALSE. Tariffs are paid by merchants who import goods from foreign manufacturers and not by consumers. While critics of tariffs frequently claim that importers will pass the cost of tariffs on to consumers, there is little...

Almost 50 percent of Americans think the U.S. economy is in a worse state now than it was when Joe Biden took office in January 2021, according to an exclusive poll for Newsweek. While most blame the president for how the nation's economy is faring, a significant percentage consider Kamala Harris responsible—which doesn't bode well for the Democratic nominee with less than 80 days to go before the election. Some 41 percent of Americans surveyed by Redfield...

Former President Donald Trump told his followers on Truth Social earlier today that he would be posting throughout Kamala Harris' DNC speech, where she has formally accepted the party's nomination for president. Here are some of the issues Trump has commented on tonight while Harris has been speaking, with some quick fact-checking. On abortion: "Everybody, Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, and Conservatives, wanted Roe v. Wade TERMINATED, and brought back to the States...

The radicals assembled in Chicago this week under the banner of joy and hope, but their rhetoric was filled with anger and hatred. Their actions and proposals, however, are far worse for the future of America. All the warnings of a Marxist regime are there: a political coup, government control of the economy through price controls and heavy regulations, manipulation of government agencies and the courts to punish political opponents, censorship, unwillingness to talk to independent media...

The United Nations nuclear watchdog warned against continued fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces near a Kursk nuclear plant on Thursday, Aug. 22. The International Atomic Energy Agency fears that artillery within range of the facility could lead to a nuclear disaster. The plea from the U.N. comes as Russia accused Ukraine on Thursday of trying to strike the facility. Russian President Vladimir Putin said he “informed” the International Atomic Energy...
