WASHINGTON — The House has approved $95 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies in a rare weekend session as Democrats and Republicans banded together after months of hard-right resistance over renewed American support for repelling Russia’s invasion. With an overwhelming vote Saturday, the $61 billion in aid for Ukraine passed […]
I have long since run out of ways to ask why we are still keeping Turkey as a member of NATO as long as Recep Tayyip Erdogan is in charge. Yesterday, however, he gave us yet another reason to raise the question and displayed where his loyalties truly lie. Erdogan hosted Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh […]
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden can breathe a bit easier, at least for the moment, now that Israel and Iran appear to have stepped back from the brink of tipping the Middle East into all-out war. Israel‘s retaliatory strikes on Iran and Syria caused limited damage. The restrained action came after Biden urged Prime […]
WASHINGTON — The House is preparing in a rare Saturday session to approve $95 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies, Democrats and Republicans joining together behind the legislation after a grueling monthslong fight over renewed American support for repelling Russia‘s invasion into Ukraine. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, putting his […]
OPINION: The nights of Passover are different from all other nights, and this year even more so. Your Jewish neighbors will soon gather to recall their ancestors’ liberation from ancient Egypt and the start of their long journey to Israel, but as your neighbors celebrate this year, they will also grieve.

WASHINGTON — Israel demonstrated its military dominance over adversary Iran in its apparent precision strikes that hit near military and nuclear targets deep in the heart of the country, meeting little significant challenge from Iran‘s defenses and providing the world with new insights into both militaries’ capabilities. The international community, Israel and Iran all signaled […]
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) was the lone Republican in the House to vote against a resolution that condemned Iran’s attack on Israel. He joined the likes of Squad members and other far-left Democrats. The resolution overwhelmingly passed in a 404-14 vote Thursday. Iran’s drone and missile attack against Israel was unprecedented. The House of Representatives […]
It’s almost like some macabre dance as both Israel and Iran have given “muted responses” to Israel’s attack on Iran, according to the New York Times. Paula covered the breaking story last night that, at first blush, hardly seems to be earth-shattering news. The Israeli counterstrike occurred on Ayatollah […]
That “pause” that we talked about yesterday didn’t last very long. Israel launched its anticipated retaliatory strike on Iran this morning, firing missiles into the city of Isfahan in the central part of the country. The location was probably significant because that is the site of Iran’s Natanz nuclear research facility as well as one […]
Before Iran’s attack on Israel last week, President Joe Biden had a one-word message for Tehran: “Don’t.” It didn’t listen. In the aftermath of the attack, Biden didn’t utter that one-word advice publicly, but it was fairly obvious what his administration wanted the Israelis to do: Axios reported that Biden had told Israeli Prime Minister […]
