Venezuela’s oil is vast in volume but poor in quality, ruinously expensive to rehabilitate, and politically radioactive to invest in. The idea that the United States—or any rational actor—would pursue regime change purely for this oil ignores geology, engineering, finance, and history.

It is important to be precise. This dynamic was not a secret plot, not anti-Israel, not pro-Qatar, and not a command-and-control operation

America has always treated treason as the gravest possible offense against the republic. But in the modern political environment, a dangerous confusion has taken root: the belief that unless someone appears in court in handcuffs and a prosecutor utters the literal word treason, then no betrayal has occurred. This belief is not only false — it is how republics die.

Reagan did this with New York’s mayors in the 1980s.Clinton did it with big-city mayors in the 90s.But Trump, in this political climate, doing it with a self-identified socialist?That is a power move.

Economists estimate the U.S. is short over 650,000 construction and skilled trade workers, a number projected to grow as reshoring accelerates.^9 Unions Are Uniquely Positioned to Fill the Gap Trade unions—if reformed—could: Train tens of thousands of workers rapidly Provide structured apprenticeships Offer healthcare and retirement benefits without federal expansion Rebuild America’s eroded middle class Revitalize post-industrial cities through dignified w

The tragedy of our age is not that we dream, but that we mistake our dreams for the world.

Florida’s Republican Party has experienced a dramatic journey over the past decade – rising to dominance under Donald Trump and Governor Ron DeSantis, only to be pulled apart by internal conflicts and lost strategic focus. Once the nation’s political bellwether, Florida now serves as a cautionary tale of how success, if poorly managed, can erode a movement from within.

No serious observer of American politics can still believe that Donald Trump could receive a fair trial in New York City.It isn’t merely that jurors there lean left — though 85 percent of the city’s electorate voted against him. The deeper problem is cultural saturation: the Stormy Daniels saga, the endless parade of unnamed “accusers,” and half a decade of negative coverage created a civic environment in which impartiality was impossible long before voir dire began.

A persistent security threat that targeted Westerners, regimes, and later broader regional and global arenas. States responded by tightening control over religious institutions, professionalizing counterterrorism, and shaping a “moderate” official discourse—while preserving the option for decisive repression when red lines were crossed.

Over the last decade the Republican Party has stopped behaving like a single organization.What we call “the GOP” is now a coalition of overlapping tribes that share branding and ballot lines, but not a common direction.
