Byron York, Washington Examiner Trump’s successes make for bad days for his most zealous opponents. The bottom line is that Trump simply knew better than the elite consensus how to approach the seemingly intractable problem of this latest Middle East conflict. Yes, that is likely galling to some in the Resistance, just as the pro-Trump celebrations across Israel are galling, to the Trump-is-Hitler crowd. But perhaps all can be thankful that Trump was free to make peace — and

Just the News (Steven Richards), The Star News Network President Trump is urging China to reverse sweeping export restrictions on rare earth elements vital to advanced manufacturing, warning that further escalation of tariffs could lead to a depression. “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine!” the president wrote in a post Truth Social on Sunday evening. “Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I.

Scott McKay, The American Spectator Time does appear to be running out for the Venezuelan communists. Urrutia and Machado will likely assume power soon. It might be messy, however, to install the actual elected government of Venezuela instead of the illegitimate, narco-terrorist foreign occupation dictatorship that squats upon the throne in Caracas. By conferring the Peace Prize on Machado, the international community is signaling that efforts to restore democracy and freedom

Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness What did Donald Trump do differently to obtain at least temporary calm in the Middle East compared to the other failed efforts? The Israelis and the Palestinians saw Trump’s success elsewhere and may have felt from such momentum that the same might be possible in Gaza. And if the ceasefire holds, or at least reduces the violence, global attention will next turn to Ukraine. Expectations in and outside the Middle East will rise that momen

Daily Caller News Foundation (Ireland Owens), The Star News Network The newly released Gallup survey found that 62% of Americans said the federal government has too much power, marking a record high. This number is up from 51% one year ago and is also the highest amount in Gallup’s trend since 2002, according to the poll. The previous highest number of Americans who thought the U.S. government possessed too much power was 60%, which was recorded during former President Barack

David Catron, The American Spectator This will now go to SCOTUS, where the Constitution and federal law usually prevails. The Trump administration will win and the tariffs will stay in place. And, despite the opposition of the Democrats and the superstitions of some conservatives, that’s a good thing that will bring real benefits to most Americans. During the 2024 presidential campaign Trump promised to do this and he is honoring his pledge. As former president Barack Obama f

Kaitlin Housler, Star News Network Winsome Earle-Sears criticized her Democratic opponent, Abigail Spanberger, for failing to answer several questions during their debate. “People say that I interrupted her, but I had to because she was just lying all over the place. You can’t let a lie just stand like that. You have to interrupt a lie,” Earle-Sears said. “She just wouldn’t answer any questions, and I got tired of it…We need answers to these questions, and it was just time. I

Tom Howell, Jr., Washington Times President Trump says he will impose a 100% tariff on all Chinese imports in response to Beijing’s move to restrict rare earths and other exports, as a trade war between the world’s largest economies flared anew. The decision to slap massive levies on Chinese products, effective Nov. 1, would put the effective rate on many Chinese goods at 130%, given previous actions. Mr. Trump also said he would restrict exports of “critical software,” indic

Emily Hallas, Washington Examiner The White House is seeking to put Democrats on the defensive and pressure the opposition into backing a measure to open up Washington, as the government shutdown heads into its third week. OMB Director Russ Vought announced on Friday that the Trump administration has begun laying off federal workers. The White House has framed the cuts as Democrats’ fault due to accusations the party could have stopped such “reductions in force,” or RIFs, if
