The 19th-century Prussian general Karl Von Clausewitz famously said: “War is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means.” Or as we more often hear it, “War is but politics by different means.” Some predict that America is on the verge of a hot war. But while it’s true that our country is more divided than ever, it may not be as divided as the pro-Hamas, anti-American protesters hope. War is what generally happens when two (or more) sides get to a point where they can no longer peacefully coexist with the current circumstances. America seems...

BUTLER stating his belief that the rebel forces were withdrawing from North Carolina and hastening to reinforce LEE.

Earlier this month, the U.K.’s National Health Service released the Cass Review, a report that urged Great Britain to pump the breaks on the experimental, sterilizing treatments marketed as “gender affirming care.” By contrast, earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Education issued its new Title IX regulations, which require public schools to facilitate a school-to-sterilization pipeline. According to the Biden administration, Title IX of the Civil Rights Act now requires schools to treat students who suffer, or claim to suffer, from gender dysphoria as though they were the opposite sex. As the Cass Review argues, this is essentially a...

From Our Own Correspondent. NEW-ORLEANS, Friday, April 15, 1864. DESPARATE BATTLE IN WEST LOUISIANA. The whole City has, for the last day or two, been in the utmost condition of excitement over the news of the bloodiest fighting that perhaps ever yet occurred on the soil of Louisiana.

Prosecutors in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office offered new transparency not only to the public, but seemingly also Trump’s defense attorneys on Tuesday when, one year after indicting the former president, they finally pulled back the curtain to reveal the motivating crime in their case: a violation of state election law. Former federal prosecutors told the Daily Caller News Foundation Bragg’s lack of clarity is unfair to the defense, who can’t prepare to argue against a charge they don’t know, and unlike what they’ve seen before. ... “First, that Alvin Bragg’s office did not provide advanced notice of the...

Facing dire polling numbers and a lack of left-wing enthusiasm for his “re-election” campaign, Joe Biden is considering taking an extreme measure that should send chills down the spines of any American who values liberty. During an April 19 broadcast of the Fox Business Show The Bottom Line with Dagen and Duffy, co-host Sean Duffy revealed that the Biden White House told Fox Business that it is considering defying the Constitution and declaring a climate emergency. He then turned to his guest Marc Morano, a former Republican political aide who runs a climate change skeptic website called ClimateDepot.com, and asked...

From our Special Correspondent. NEWBERN, N.C., Wednesday, April 20, 1864. Advices just received from Plymouth warrant the conclusion that it has fallen into the hands of the enemy. It was attacked by a heavy land force on Sunday evening, (the 17th,) in connection with an iron-clad ram which came down the Roanoke River. In the engagement, the ram sunk the Southfield, (gunboat.) and a small vessel which has frequently been on expeditions up the Roanoke, called the Bombshell.
