An old adage suggests that foreign policy doesn’t decide elections. ‘It’s the economy, stupid,’ Clinton campaign strategist James Carville famously proclaimed in the lead-up to the 1992 elections. But this year’s nail-biter presidential election could come down, in part, to war in the Middle East – and whether Vice President Kamala Harris can recapture support from the historically Democratic Arab-American ...
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Israel has an opportunity to have new leadership in the Gaza Strip, urging action following last week’s killing of Hamas leader and mastermind of the Oct. 7 attacks, Yahya Sinwar. ‘There’s a window here not only to end the fighting, but to replace Hamas forever,’ Graham said in an appearance on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press.’ ...

Kamala Harris might not like Catholic charity dinners, but she knows how to throw a Hail Mary, and her latest, that Donald Trump is exhausted or senile is landing incomplete with a thud among voters. It has been about a week now that Harris’ campaign, which basically everyone has finally admitted is badly losing steam, started claiming Trump is in ...
– Contrary to what much of the world’s media has reported, China’s 13-hour simulated blockade of Taiwan that began on Monday, Oct. 14, using a record-breaking number of planes, an aircraft carrier, and both Navy and Coast Guard vessels, was not quite so simple as China ‘punishing’ Taiwan’s new president William Lai for comments he’s made since taking office in ...
The Israel Defense Forces said that the war in Gaza is not over following the killing of Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’ top leader and the mastermind of the terrorist group’s Oct. 7 attack, and will continue until the hostages taken amid that day’s massacre are returned.
