By Casey Harper (The Center Square) Pro-Hamas demonstrations on college campuses have become increasingly intense, and even violent in recent days, pushing lawmakers to call for a change. U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., sent a letter this week to the Columbia University Board of Trustees with an ultimatum: “take action against antisemitism or lose federal funding.” “The anti-Israel mobs that have taken over Columbia University in New York City are as disturbing as they are un-American,” Scott said in the letter. “Jewish students no longer feel safe on Columbia’s campus given the persistent threa ..read more

The disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan left the U.S. discredited and scarred a generation of veterans. Perhaps the most notable event from three years ago was the explosion at Kabul airport. The attack took the lives of 13 U.S. service members and about 170 Afghans. Since the attack, there have been congressional hearings and two investigations into what happened. While the Biden administration undoubtedly wishes to close this chapter, a video has questioned assertions made by the U.S. gover ..read more

Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) tore into the Senate’s approval of a $95 billion aid package to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan during a speech to the chamber earlier this week. He compared the narrative to propaganda used to draw America into the Iraq War. History, he believes, is repeating itself.
