A 24-year-old American student from Houston says she was sexually assaulted during a group holiday in Vietnam, and that local police and the suspect's wealthy family tried to push her into settling quietly. Vietnamese authorities have now charged a 23-year-old man with rape after Nguyen Thi Quynh Tam refused to back down, rejected repeated offers of money, and fought through weeks of institutional resistance to get her case on the record. The charge came only after Tam's father reached out to the office of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, prompting belated action from the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi. Tam, whose family moved to the United States when she was five, had returned to Vietnam in May for a banking internship. On July 4, she joined a group of…Open

Foreign Affairs Some Shattering Illusions of Our Declining Empire Americans are waking up to ugly truths. Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images Now that the lofty 250th-anniversary rhetoric about the greatness of our country has faded, it is time to face the reality of our country’s actual behavior. The U.S. fashions itself as a generous and benevolent world leader enforcing the “rules-based order”—a deceptive construct used by globalist elites to bully other countries. The rules are arbitrarily changed to suit the bullies and are regularly fashioned into pretexts for military action against uncooperative nations.…Open

New tariffs of 10% to 12.5% took effect on imports from 60 countries overnight, replacing emergency duties the Supreme Court invalidated five months ago, and projections say the levies could generate nearly $1 trillion over the next decade. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced the duties on July 23, capping a months-long investigation into whether trading partners had failed to ban or enforce bans on goods produced with forced labor. The tariffs, imposed under Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act, went live at 12:01 a.m. July 24, the same moment a temporary 10% global tariff expired. The timing was deliberate: the administration built a legal bridge from one tariff regime to the next without leaving a single day uncovered. The…Open
