In recent years, millions of foreign dollars have quietly poured into the United States to fund radical left-wing climate and social justice groups. At the center of this network is British hedge fund billionaire Chris Hohn, whose $60 billion fortune powers the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF). With a $6 billion endowment, CIFF has funneled more than $553 million since 2014 into U.S. nonprofits and advocacy organizations dedicated to dismantling fossil fuels, pushing diversity and equity initiatives, and advancing extreme climate policies that undermine American energy independence. Foreign nationals are barred from contributing to American political candidates and parties. Yet through nonprofit grants and advocacy networks, Hohn has…

Passaic County, New Jersey, has once again found itself at the center of an election integrity storm. The Democrat-controlled Board of Elections recently voted against placing security cameras in ballot storage areas. It refused to implement basic sign-in and sign-out logs for individuals accessing mail-in ballots. This decision undermines transparency at a time when voters across the state are demanding more oversight, not less. The New Jersey Republican Party sounded the alarm in a statement this week, blasting the move as reckless and politically motivated. They noted that the Chairman of the Passaic County Board of Elections is also the County Democrat Chairman—a conflict…
The national debt is surging. Foreign central banks have stopped buying U.S. Treasury bonds. Interest rates are on the rise. And a president needs legal advice on how to implement an aggressive plan to head off a crisis with global implications. This was a potential scenario explored by a panel of experts during a recent session of Advanced Contracts: When Financial Contracts Blow Up, a University of Virginia School of Law class taught by Professor Mitu Gulati and Peter Lyons, a lecturer and senior counsel at Freshfields. The goal, according to Gulati, was to give students a sense of “how decisions are made…
President Donald Trump publicly condemned New York Democrat Attorney General Letitia James, labeling her a “disgrace” in response to allegations that she failed to act on evidence suggesting $9.6 billion in sanctions violations. Trump’s remarks come amid ongoing scrutiny of James’ office, which has been investigating high-profile financial misconduct. Critics of hers maintain that such alleged oversights undermine public trust in the attorney general’s ability to enforce financial and corporate regulations. On Wednesday, Trump shared an article from The Gateway Pundit on Truth Social, which alleged that the U.S. Second Circuit found at least $9.6 billion of illegal payments by…
Let’s separate the facts from the fiction on Europe’s decline. For centuries the countries of Europe used their military might, supported by their economic power, to conquer and colonize most of the world, but these same countries, exclusive of Russia, never really recovered from World War II. Since the end of the second World War, Europe has faltered militarily and economically, while Asia and the U.S. have grown. Europe has looked to the U.S for its security and used the generosity of the U.S. to rebuild and support its economy. Europe has responded to this U.S. benevolence by forming the…
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) signed a bill into law on Friday, launching a process for California to administer reparations for descendants of slaves. The governor gave the final green light to Senate Bill 518, which establishes a new state agency responsible for verifying eligibility, processing claims, and recommending forms of reparations for descendants of slaves. “This law reflects a critical acknowledgment of the historic injustices that have shaped the Black experience in California and across this country,” California Legislative Black Caucus chair Weber Pierson said in a statement celebrating the new law. “For generations, Black Americans have faced exclusion, exploitation, and systemic barriers to opportunity. With SB…
The removal of Prince Andrew’s royal title “vindicates” his alleged sexual assault victim, her family has said, as King Charles III seeks to draw a line under the damaging scandal. Andrew, 65, on Friday renounced his Duke of York title under pressure from his brother Charles, following further revelations about the prince’s ties to late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The long-running saga has caused considerable embarrassment to Britain’s monarchy and UK media report that the King is “glad” about the decision which further banishes Andrew from royal life. Speaking to the BBC, the brother of Virginia Giuffre, whom Andrew…

In this context, the relationship between the United States, the European Union and the Atlantic Alliance takes on crucial importance: not only does continued military support for Kiev depend on it, but also the…
