Pedro Sanchez, the prime minister of Spain, has announced that the country will legalize 500,000 migrants, creating a massive political and demographic shake-up inside the country. Spain fought the Reconquista for hundreds of years to recapture its lands from North African Muslims. In the 20th century, the country fought a civil war and was ruled by Francisco Franco for decades to ward off communism. Despite all these efforts, Spain is ultimately racing toward the progressive open-borders suicid...

We continue our examination of Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince" as the political theorist discusses the negative impact that maintaining virtuous behavior can have on a ruler. This is where Machiavelli earns his reputation as a teacher of evil. We will also look at how war is the central duty around which the philosopher believes the office of prince revolves.

From its earliest days, the United States saw itself as a nation with intense purpose — not a static country, not a museum of inherited customs, but a project. Alexander Hamilton envisioned a commercial republic that would rival the great powers of Europe. The doctrine of manifest destiny pushed that ambition across a continent. After World War II, the same impulse extended outward into global leadership. America, in other words, has always kept its eyes on the horizon. Support me and this chann...

America’s newest political battlefield runs through one of the most miserable places in the country: the airport. Democrats have held up funding for the Department of Homeland Security amid their ongoing war over ICE, and after a month without pay, TSA employees have started refusing to come to work. The result has been crippling delays at major airports, with waits stretching four hours or more and turning an already degraded flying experience into something closer to a public humiliation ritua...

To say the conservative movement has come off the rails would comically understate the damage. Wild accusations bounce from show to show. Members of Congress pick petty fights on social media.
