Politics Politics Ted Cruz Is an Opportunistic Chameleon Who remembers the Texan’s skepticism of foreign adventurism? (Andrew Cline/Shutterstock) Today, loudly and proudly, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is a staunch supporter of the Iran War , the state of Israel, and U.S.-led regime change in other countries; he is outspoken against what he sees as rising antisemitism in America, particularly on the right . When he opposed a potential U.S.–Iran peace deal in June, the Washington Examiner reported that “Cruz, considered a possible 2028 presidential candidate” was…Open

Politics You Want a Real Commie? Remembering Vito Marcantonio, before the DSA panic sets in. Fox World is all a-twitter because a handful of members or fellow travelers of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are about to be elected to the U.S. Congress and various state legislatures. They’re “godless communists,” according to President Trump, and what with inflation, an insane war, and Trump family grift, we’ll be hearing about commies all election season. Michael “The Other America” Harrington, founder of DSA, was about as threatening as the Mills Brothers. The current DSA candidates seem, at first glance, as…Open
The latest attacks on Vance are clearly and irreducibly about foreign policy. The post All the Vice President’s Critics appeared first on The American Conservative .
Politics All the Vice President’s Critics The latest attacks on Vance are clearly and irreducibly about foreign policy. J.D. Vance has been taking fire of late. From the left, of course—but also from the right, whose remaining “zombie Reaganites” have launched an effort to call his conservative bona fides into question. Much of this criticism purports to find in Vance nothing more than a camouflaged leftist. Writing of Vance’s appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience last month, commentator Ben Shapiro said he heard the vice president articulate “Bernie Sanders’ economics, Barack Obama’s foreign policy, and Ro…Open

(Photo by Michael Ciaglo/Getty Images) Last week, far-left Democrat Melat Kiros won her Denver, Colorado, U.S. House primary against 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette, making the 29-year-old the latest in a slew of democratic socialists to have defeated establishment Democrats in this midterm election cycle. In Kiros’s race and the others, almost all of the Democrats involved have been considered progressive, but the older, incumbent guard still hews closely to the party…Open
NEW YORK, NY — Defying old age and government authorities, libertarian firebrand Ron Paul was spotted climbing to the top of the Empire State Building, where he unfurled a large banner that read, "End The Fed!"
The plan’s passage and implementation would offer an historic opportunity to finally rein in explosive government spending, something many Americans have been demanding for decades.

Foreign Affairs Iran and the ‘Phil Leotardo Doctrine’ Decapitating and moving on is sometimes easier said than done. All successful political movements build coalitions, so in 2008 and 2012, when the Republican Party was still dominated by views associated with regime change and nation-building, the Ron Paul campaign pitched its antiwar message from several angles. For the bleeding hearts, the Texas congressman and his surrogates could pitch you on the suffering caused by the “shock and awe” of the 2003 Iraq invasion and the Obama administration’s drone strikes . If you were interested in the strategic…Open
