Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst reports on a potential U.S. response to escalating tensions in the Middle East amid threats from Iran-backed Houthis and a reported Iranian attack on a U.S.-contracted vessel on ‘Special Report.’
Most remember the airline hijackings spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s. The peak of hijackings (1968-1972) was dubiously dubbed by history as the “Golden Age of hijacking.” At the peak, airplanes were hijacked at a rate of nearly one per week. The act was termed “air piracy.”
Heroic responses are etched into history’s chronicles, and evil is etched into the narratives.
Former DHS deputy assistant secretary Jonathan Fahey discusses the Department of Justice using the Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the first time to remove an alien terrorist and more on ‘Fox Report.’
President Bush at Ground Zero on 9/14/2001: “Thank you all. I want you all to know that America today is on bended knee in prayer for the people whose lives were lost here, for the workers who work here, for the families who mourn. This nation stands with the good people of New York City and New Jersey and Connecticut as we mourn the loss of thousands of our citizens.”
Seattle radio host Jason Rantz and Steamboat Institute fellow Carine Hajjar discuss Vice President JD Vance’s speech at the Republican midterm convention on ‘The Bottom Line.’
China poses a continuing nuclear threat to the U.S. through a relentless effort to modernize and expand its nuclear arsenal and delivery capabilities.
The PLA is executing the fastest and largest peacetime nuclear buildup in history, moving from a “minimum deterrence” force of roughly 200 warheads a decade ago toward a force that multiple U.S. officials now project could approach numerical parity with the United States and Russia within four to five years. This is a direct military threat: more silos, more delivery platforms, new low-yield and tactical designs, and — per credible but contested reporting — a resumed covert testing program.
Twenty-five years after the attacks of September 11, America faces a dangerous temptation: forgetting (NYC Mayor, anybody?). Time softens memories, new generations inherit stories instead of scars, and political divisions crowd out shared history. Yet the lessons of 9/11 remain essential because they remind us that freedom carries costs, courage deserves honor, and national unity is possible even during unimaginable tragedy.
Fox News contributor Dan Hoffman joined ‘Fox & Friends First’ to discuss the latest on the attack and new details on a mission to de-mine the Strait of Hormuz.
That was the headline in the New York Times. The sub-headline read, “New intelligence reports have assessed that Iran now has a far better understanding of its capabilities and the limits of U.S. power.”
Fact-check: Well, yes if you consider they now realize their capabilities are nada, non-existent, zilch. The Persian Army has more power and it disappeared in a sandstorm west of Thebes 2,551 years ago.
Fox News contributor Paul Mauro discusses New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani signing an executive order for a day of remembrance for the 9/11 attacks and handing the pen used to sign it to a former al Qaeda defense lawyer on ‘The Will Cain Show.’
President Trump remains focused on delivering his 2024 campaign promises with lightning speed. This is Part II of a two-part series that summarizes Trump administration accomplishments since October 2025. An article last November covered the accomplishments during the first nine months here.
The Army has a remarkable ability to take a perfectly functional warrior, promote him a few times, hand him three computer monitors, and turn him into a PowerPoint-slinging indoor cat. Thus begins the evolution of the FOBbit: that mysterious creature who once went outside the wire but now survives on RFIs, synchronization meetings, Green Beans coffee, and Baskin-Robbins. The real horror comes when you finally look down at your ice cream, look at your clean uniform, hit “Send” on another 1600 suspense, and realize the terrible truth: Oh, $h!tt! I’m the FOBbit.
Electricity was once a luxury. Today, it is the invisible life-support system of modern civilization. Take the grid away for three months and the problem isn’t simply darkness—it’s water, sewage, refrigeration, medicine, fuel, communications, and millions of people discovering that civilization has outsourced most of their basic survival skills. America’s Achilles’ heel may not be that an enemy can defeat our military, but that someone could disrupt the enormous electrical extension cord connecting nearly everything that keeps us alive.
Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst reports on U.S. strikes against three Iranian oil tankers after the IRGC launched missiles at U.S. Navy warships on ‘Fox Report.’
Former National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien joins ‘Kudlow’ to discuss the European Union joining ‘Operation Economic Outcast’ to isolate Iran’s financial lifelines and freeze IRGC assets.
Before America entered World War II, Uncle Sam looked at the Singer Sewing Machine Company and essentially asked, “Nice factory. Can you make a .45?” The result was just 500 Singer M1911A1 pistols—one of today’s great military-firearms collectibles. Singer wasn’t forced into gunmaking by the Defense Production Act; that law wouldn’t exist until 1950. Instead, the Army paid civilian companies to learn military production before the shooting started. It was industrial mobilization with refreshingly little mystery: you cannot surge a factory you don’t have.
Red China is hurting for certain. The world’s largest oil importer lost oil from Iran and Venezuela, which supplied 15% of the oil it bought last year.
Under Trump, the USA is a net exporter of oil. That should be the case for decades to come because thanks to President Trump and Chief Warrant Officer Five Eric A. Slover, America now controls 65 billion barrels of oil in Venezuela. Slover is the helicopter pilot who took a licking of bullets but kept on ticking as the military extracted Maduro on January 3, earning a Medal of Honor.
Reagan National was a perfectly reasonable airport when it opened in 1941. Eighty-five years later, we’ve packed commercial jets, military helicopters, presidential transportation, restricted airspace and national-security missions into the same tiny patch of sky—and the warning signs are getting difficult to ignore. After 67 deaths, an emergency airspace redesign, repeated communications failures and a Marine One separation incident, perhaps the problem isn’t the latest procedure or antenna. Perhaps Washington’s convenience has simply outlived the acceptable risk.
The Greatest Generation didn’t have Wi-Fi, DoorDash, FaceTime, scheduled port calls—or an expected return date. They had a war to win. Today’s sailors aren’t the problem; they’re products of a culture that has become extraordinarily good at eliminating discomfort. The question isn’t whether young Americans are “soft.” It’s whether America still teaches resilience before history demands it the hard way.
The Pacific Ocean doesn’t have an HR department, and the enemy doesn’t care about your deployment schedule.
Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., discusses the newly signed U.S.-Venezuela oil deal and recent U.S. airstrikes against Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz on ‘The Evening Edit.’
