Polls, Pluralities, and Political Illusions: How New York’s Three-Way Race Became a Perfect Storm
By Corey Ribotsky Every election cycle follows the same script. Pollsters release dramatic numbers, the media repeats them as gospel, and the public is told the race is already over. Then, as always, the numbers collapse on Election Day — and the people who were sure they knew the outcome pretend they never said it.…

The Ceasefire That Exposed the Movement’s True Intent
For nearly two years, a single phrase dominated the rhetoric of Western activists, celebrities, and self-styled humanitarians: “Ceasefire now.” It appeared on signs at marches, in email signatures, and as hashtags across X and Instagram. It was shouted across campuses, projected on government buildings, and printed on designer tote bags. The demand became a moral…

The Jay Jones Scandal No One Wants to Talk About
By: Skylar Ribotsky After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, America asked how much worse our politics could get.

The Schumer Shutdown
By: Skylar Ribotsky “…Everything happens for a reason.

From Monologue to Minefield
Kimmel’s suspension isn’t a free-speech saga—it’s a boardroom call driven by ratings risk, advertiser anxiety, and affiliate pressure combined with his bad judgment that makes a recipe for disaster. Framing ABC’s move as an assault on the First Amendment misses the point. The Constitution restrains government, not network programmers calibrating risk. What sidelined Jimmy Kimmel…

A Goodbye to Charlie Kirk, who risked it all to be heard…
Dear Charlie, “If you disagree, come to the front of the line.” Those words will forever echo when I think of you. Just the other night, I sat at the dinner table with my stepmom talking about how much we loved you — a conversation that’s been routine in my home for at least seven…

“It’s This Week”: How the Democratic Party Missed MAGA — and Just Missed New York City
By the grandson of a Tammany Hall politician This week, something historic happened in New York City. But not in the way Democratic leadership expected.

The Weaponization of Protesting will Tear America and the World Apart
In cities around the world—from Paris to New York to Los Angeles—what began as political demonstrations has spiraled into something far more dangerous. This is no longer protest.

The recent Israeli airstrike that killed Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, has sparked significant media coverage.

Harris’s Price Control Proposal Misses the Mark by Blaming Corporations—and Leans Toward Communism
Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent focus on “price gouging” in the grocery sector seems more like a deflection than a solution.
