There has clearly been a shift in public sentiment when it comes to additional funding for Ukraine in its war with Russia. Shortly after the invasion, most (though not all) American voters seemed to be ready to back Ukraine against Vladimir Putin’s aggression. Joe Biden quickly jumped in on the same side, perhaps a bit […]
President Joe Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and a handful of left-leaning Republicans (led by Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, of course) have just agreed to a near $100 billion foreign aid bill for Israel and Ukraine. Is the spending addiction so severe that there is NOTHING […]
Conservative media star Tucker Carlson criticized Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro and Republican presidential contender Nikki Haley for positions he said could potentially send more U.S. troops into the line of fire in foreign wars, saying their reckless warmongering endangers his children. Carlson made the pointed remarks Tuesday during an interview with British podcaster […]
Americans do not live in a democracy. Nor do we live in a constitutional republic. With each passing day, we learn in real time that our elected officials both constitute and serve a ruling oligarchy. See, for instance, the vulgar, unfiltered (and thus authentic) indignation expressed by Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania toward a […]
House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled Monday that the House would not consider voting on a foreign aid package that the Senate eventually passed on Tuesday. Johnson ripped the bill for ignoring the crisis at the southern border and said Americans “deserve better” than to see their tax dollars sent overseas while their communities are besieged […]
This morning, the Democrats in the Senate, combined with a pack of Biden Republicans, forced through the combined foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. (But mostly Ukraine.) Even with that accomplished, the prospects for the bill look dim at best in the House. It’s unclear if there would be enough GOP support to […]
Is America’s foreign policy situation falling apart? That’s the impression that you might take away from this weekend’s Associated Press analysis. With the election continuing to look like a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the AP concludes that many of our allies are worried that it doesn’t really matter who wins. America is […]
The U.S. House this week rejected a stand-alone bill that would have provided $17.6 billion in assistance to Israel but didn’t include any provision to pay it. The Tuesday vote required a two-thirds majority to pass because it had been put under “suspension” but Republican House leaders, which allows for a quicker vote — suspending […]
The House GOP majority will move forward this week with a new piece of legislation that is unlikely to result in anything more than sending a message to their counterparts in the Senate. The bill would provide more than 17 billion dollars for aid to Israel and replenish American arms stockpiles that have been depleted […]
Former President Donald Trump might have been an outsider to politics with little to no direct foreign policy experience, but his understanding of geopolitics and ability to recognize friends from foes was far superior to that of many who have spent their lives entrenched in Washington. The new revelations about the U.N. Relief and Works […]
