The West is in trouble.

One of the reasons is that the West has fundamentally failed to distinguish between tolerance of one another’s traditions and lifestyles on the one hand, and the bizarre bend-over-backward celebration that accompanies the undermining of traditions unique to the West.

Tampa International Airport announced a total ban on pajamas in an X post on Thursday, saying that they had “seen enough” and calling on travelers who came through the western Florida hub to dress like it was daytime.

A former Trump administration official praised the Federal Trade Commission’s investigation into Microsoft, saying that the software giant’s track record on issues from China to European censorship demanded scrutiny.

Joe Grogan, the director of the Domestic Policy Council during Trump’s first term, said that an FTC investigation probing whether Microsoft employed anti-competitive practices was much needed.

A University of Notre Dame professor, with a long public record of supporting abortion, has stepped down from a senior leadership role at the Catholic university following weeks of pressure from students, faculty, and Catholic leaders nationwide.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has introduced legislation that would impose a tax on income earned by American athletes who compete in international sporting events on behalf of foreign governments.

The proposal, titled the “Officially Limiting Yearly Money Procured by Individuals Concerning Sportsmanship Act,” or OLYMPICS Act, would apply to athletes who represent what the law defines as “foreign entities of concern.” Those countries include China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will have their second in-person meeting Thursday afternoon in Washington, D.C.

Both the president and the mayor kept the Oval Office encounter under wraps until Thursday afternoon—though The New York Times reports that people familiar with the matter said the two would discuss strategies to increase housing supply in New York City, an issue that has become a defining challenge for Mamdani’s administration.

The federal government’s presence in Minnesota may be winding down, but leftist activists are mobilizing to the Twin Cities for a week of harassing Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, calling for the abolition of prisons, and eating at Mexican restaurants. 

Confucius once said, “he who chases two rabbits, catches neither.” Perhaps San Francisco native Eileen Gu should have thought about that before skiing for China in the Olympics.

Despite fawning coverage and glowing praise from the Western press, Gu has drawn sharp rebuke from Americans for snubbing her nation. But she isn’t catching much love from the Chinese public, either.

A 27-year-old man accused of a separate crime was arrested Thursday in relation to the mob that surrounded NYPD police officers and pelted them with snowballs earlier this week.

Gusmane Coulibaly was detained by NYPD officers after the department released images of four people, including Coulibaly, wanted after two officers were injured when a mob of people hurled snowballs at them at Washington Square Park on Monday. The NYPD said that Coulibaly was arrested earlier this month for “attempted robbery in the transit system.”

David Funston committed some of the most horrific crimes imaginable, and he shouldn’t be allowed back on our streets. We must put victims back at the center of the parole process and ensure their voices are heard. Every victim deserves justice. https://t.co/XFHqY5EY9G pic.twitter.com/75H3N3A5T7
