The New York Times has flooded its pages with "Islamophobia" coverage in recent weeks, even as FBI data show anti-Jewish hate crimes outnumber anti-Muslim offenses by roughly seven to one, a disparity the paper seems uninterested in explaining.

The New York Times has flooded its pages with "Islamophobia" coverage in recent weeks, even as FBI data show anti-Jewish hate crimes outnumber anti-Muslim offenses by roughly seven to one, a disparity the paper seems uninterested in explaining. Between August 10 and August 20, the Times published at least four articles built around the "Islamophobia" label, including a front-page feature with four reporter bylines and a lengthy dispatch from Dearborn, Michigan, that buried a deadly antisemitic attack deep in its twenty-fifth paragraph. The burst of coverage followed election victories by two prominent Muslim Democratic politicians and a remark by President Trump calling certain Democratic candidates "jihadists." At every turn, the paper's…Open

President Trump knocked down theories about CIA Director John Ratcliffe's four-hour trip to Moscow, calling it "semi-routine", but his comments pointed squarely at stalled Russia-Ukraine peace talks.

President Trump knocked down theories about CIA Director John Ratcliffe's four-hour trip to Moscow, calling it "semi-routine", but his comments pointed squarely at stalled Russia-Ukraine peace talks. Ratcliffe flew to the Russian capital on a U.S. military C-17A Globemaster III that departed Joint Base Andrews and stopped in Riga, Latvia, before continuing to Moscow's Vnukovo airport, Fox News reported . The massive transport plane, the largest aircraft in the U.S. fleet, was spotted by air traffic monitors and filmed by locals on the ground, blowing whatever secrecy the trip was meant to carry. It was the first known visit to Russia by a sitting CIA director since William Burns traveled there in November 2021 to warn Moscow against…Open

President Trump's nominee to lead the Food and Drug Administration, Dr. Heidi Overton, could force a long-delayed reckoning over the safety of the abortion drug mifepristone, but she first faces resistance from both parties in the Senate. John Mize, CEO of Americans United for Life, told Fox News Digital that Overton would bring "objectivity" to the FDA's handling of mifepristone, the chemical abortion drug that now accounts for roughly two-thirds of all clinician-provided abortions in the United States. Mize said he has spoken with Overton five or six times and believes she understands the risks the drug poses to women, particularly under the current rules that allow it to be prescribed after a telehealth visit and shipped by mail…Open

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told U.S. allies that the Trump administration does not plan to launch new attacks on Iran, a signal that Washington is shifting its Iran strategy from military force to an aggressive economic pressure campaign. The diplomatic outreach, reported by Reuters on Tuesday , came one day after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent unveiled a sanctions package targeting nearly 60 individuals, entities, and vessels tied to Tehran's oil trade, military procurement, and cyber operations. Five tankers connected to Iran's so-called shadow fleet, the network of vessels that moves sanctioned crude under false flags, were designated as blocked property. Together, the moves mark a deliberate pivot. After weeks of naval…Open

A federal appeals court refused to dismiss assault charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., ruling that physically striking ICE officers at a Newark detention facility has nothing to do with a congresswoman's legislative duties. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit handed down a 2-1 decision keeping alive two of three federal counts against McIver, who faces charges of assaulting and impeding federal immigration officers during a chaotic May 2025 confrontation at the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey. A third count was sent back to the lower court for further review. McIver had argued she was shielded by legislative immunity, that her actions at the facility amounted to congressional oversight. Two of…Open
