June 17, 2025
Read The Full Story

In The Federalist, Shawn Fleetwood expresses puzzlement that President Donald Trump has seemingly ditched his vow to begin cancelling and refusing visas for Chinese students due to their rampant spying and theft of intellectual property. Fleetwood frets that Trump may not share Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s view that they’re a profound threat to national security, and instead regards student visas as a mere bargaining chip for a trade deal.

Toppling a Communist Empire for $2.7 Million

Though widely thought of as focused on waterboarding terrorists or poisoning foreign potentates, it was by smuggling paper that the CIA achieved its most monumental triumph. R.M. Gerecht in a book review for The Washington Free Beacon charts how the late Cold War-era operation to flood Poland with Western books, magazines, printing supplies and audio recordings fatally weakened the country’s Communist dictatorship, setting the stage for the downfall of the entire Soviet empire. Total cost: US$2.7 million.

The UN, Proudly Globalizing Jew-Hatred for 50 Years

Ben Cohen notes the upcoming 50-year anniversary of United Nations Resolution 3379, which equated the age-old longing of the Jewish people to return to their ancestral homeland – expressed as Zionism – with the institutionalized racism of apartheid South Africa and Rhodesia. Writing in Jewish News Syndicate, Cohen notes that this “anti-Semitic canard” was secretly fomented by the Soviet Union and accompanied by a push to legitimize “Palestinian” statehood – leading ultimately to Hamas.

Peace for Russia-Ukraine?

Though despised in most Western European capitals, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán may be the man who has met the moment, argues Rod Dreher in The European Conservative. Engineering Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin’s upcoming face-to-face meeting in Budapest is “a diplomatic triumph” for Orbán, argues Dreher, one that might provide the catalyst to finally bring an end to Russia’s calamitous war on Ukraine.

Like the Twitching of a Dissected Frog’s Legs

The second Trump Administration is succeeding magnificently in driving DEI/wokist policies and ideology out of the U.S. government and any organization receiving federal funds, writes Roger Kimball at American Greatness. From the FBI cutting ties to the extreme-left Southern Poverty Law Center to newly named Secretary of War Pete Hegseth declaring the U.S. military to be no place for “dudes in dresses”, Kimball proclaims – perhaps a tad prematurely – that DEI in government is dead but just doesn’t know it yet.
