The director of the FBI is being accused of hypocrisy for allowing the targeting of concerned parents, Trump supporters, and American Catholics but not “monitoring” pro-Hamas rallies and protests on college campuses. Director Christopher Wray was asked in an interview on Tuesday about “actively monitoring” the rallies erupting across college and university campuses, which have become the subject of controversy and condemnation from even senior government officials. Wray replied, “We don’t monitor protests.” He added, “But we do share intelligence about specific threats of violence ..read more

The nine Supreme Court justices have a major question before them. Is a current or former president immune from prosecution?  Former President Donald Trump is facing prosecution for alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Trump argues that his actions as president are protected from prosecution under presidential immunity.  Trump lawyer John Sauer argued Thursday before the Supreme Court that unless a president is first impeached and convicted by the Senate, he is immune from prosecution, explains John Malcolm, senior legal fellow and vice president for the Inst ..read more

Almost two years after a similar rule was rejected by the Supreme Court, the Biden administration on Thursday released another final rule for regulating America’s power plants. Under the rule, coal-fired power plants and most new natural gas-fired power plants would have to eliminate 90% of their carbon emissions by 2039 or close down in 2040. The Environmental Protection Agency’s new rule would raise electricity costs for Americans, kill manufacturing jobs, and disproportionately affect the poor, farmers, and small business. EPA’s rule, if it overcomes legal challenges, would result in the cl ..read more

Victoria Coates, vice president of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, spoke at the University of Pennsylvania on Thursday about the ongoing antisemitism directed at Jews occurring on college campuses today.

With decades of experience as a national security adviser in Congress, at federal agencies, and in the White House, Coates leads the Davis Institute in designi ..read more

In another staggeringly poor choice for the nation, the Biden administration is putting concern for votes in the coming election before national security interests. Strangely, due to election calculations, President Joe Biden seems to prefer Hamas and China over Israel and Japan. Already going with the head-shaker of softballing America’s response to Hamas’ terrorist attacks in Israel, apparently because of worries of losing Arab-American votes in Michigan, Biden is now doubling down and doing it again. This time, the president is reinforcing China’s dominance in steel production rather than w ..read more

In what may be one of the most important and historic cases the U.S. Supreme Court has ever handled, the court heard almost three hours of oral arguments Thursday in Trump v. United States, the presidential immunity case. In a spirited discussion in the final case to be heard by the court before its summer recess, former Deputy Solicitor General Michael Dreeben, arguing on behalf of special counsel Jack Smith, and John Sauer, arguing on behalf of former President Donald Trump, answered an intense series of questions from all of the justices on whether a former president enjoys immunity from cr ..read more

A migrant services center in Mexico near the Texas border where pro-Joe Biden flyers recently were posted also was home to a display opposing Donald Trump in 2020. The executive director of Resource Center Matamoros has denied any political involvement by the nongovernmental organization. However, new images obtained by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, in collaboration with the Muckraker news site, suggest otherwise. (The Heritage Foundation founded The Daily Signal in 2014.) “The [pro-Biden] flyers were not only on the walls of port-a-potties but also on a table inside the sh ..read more

I can’t tell you how many people I know who do not like former President Donald Trump yet nonetheless smell prosecutorial overreach in Manhattan. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has charged the former president with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump has pleaded not guilty. The case began with Michael Cohen, Trump’s onetime fixer, making a “hush money” payment to the former adult film actress known as Stormy Daniels to keep her from revealing information about an alleged sexual relationship with Trump in 2006. Bragg used the fact that Cohen paid $130,000 to Daniels ..read more

After nearly two years of legal and political challenges, Britain’s parliament has finally passed a law confirming that Rwanda is a safe place to send people who arrive in the U.K. illegally by sea. This is a major policy win for the Conservative government of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and a victory for common sense. Britain, like the U.S. and Europe, is experiencing mass illegal migration in the guise of asylum claims. The British devised the Rwanda plan in response, but the U.S. already has successful equivalents that can be resurrected when there is a will to once again control America’s b ..read more
