Things are liable to get worse before they get better, and now the Trump administration is taking steps to keep Americans in the rest of the world safe.]]>Sat, 18 Jul 2026 20:50:37 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Islamic Terrorism]]><![CDATA[USA]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/07/18/state-dept-to-americans-abroad-exercise-extreme-caution-now-n2204482<![CDATA[Small businesses and startups are the heart of America's economy. The number of employees, after all, at a company like General Motors may not change all that much from year to year, but a new small business starting up may have one employee the first month, three after a year, and 20 a year later, if things go well. That's where job growth comes from. That's where wealth is produced and earned. And now, in the first half of 2026, the American economy has seen the creation of 3.5 million new businesses.]]>Sat, 18 Jul 2026 20:17:56 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Economy]]><![CDATA[Jobs]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/07/18/boom-35m-new-american-businesses-added-in-first-half-of-2026-n2204481<![CDATA[There’s not a whole lot of information yet, but a corpse was found Saturday at a Boston-area property owned by Conan Harris, husband to Squad Member Rep.

But within hours, it was pretty quickly decided by South Carolina Republican Governor Henry McMaster that since it's just a handful of months, his sister Darline Graham Nordone would do the honors. He had a little help from President Trump, as my colleague Teri Christoph noted:]]>Sat, 18 Jul 2026 17:35:00 -0400<![CDATA[Becca Lower]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Lindsey Graham]]><![CDATA[Senate]]><![CDATA[South Carolina]]>https://redstate.com/beccalower/2026/07/18/first-republican-candidate-announces-hes-running-to-fill-lindsey-grahams-senate-seat-in-sc-n2204477<![CDATA[New York is a great example of what can happen to a major city as the Great Sorting accelerates. Incentives matter, and all of New York City's policies, even before "democratic socialist" Mayor Zohran Mamdani took the reins, have seemed designed to drive out the productive and attract the indigent. Mamdani's insane policy stances are accelerating this process.]]>Sat, 18 Jul 2026 16:41:25 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Economy]]><![CDATA[New York]]><![CDATA[SNAP]]><![CDATA[Socialism]]><![CDATA[Zohran Mamdani]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/07/18/71-jump-nyc-welfare-cash-surging-to-30-year-high-n2204476<![CDATA[There's an old Cold War game called a freedom of navigation exercise, in which one party steams or flies within sight of another party's coast, within eyesight but outside of territorial waters, perhaps within the Economic Exclusion Zone (EEZ) of the other party, which is legal but provocative. This has traditionally been done with military aircraft and warships, but sometimes "commercial" vessels are roped into such duty. These exercises can be a good opportunity for intelligence-gathering, too; back in the Cold War, U.S. Navy task groups at sea were often shadowed by Soviet "fishing trawlers" that were oddly festooned with antennae.]]>Sat, 18 Jul 2026 15:57:50 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Alaska]]><![CDATA[China]]><![CDATA[USA]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/07/18/arctic-showdown-us-coast-guard-vs-chinese-research-ships-n2204474<![CDATA[The Trump administration has filed an application to what's called the United States Alien Terrorist Removal Court, the first such application since the Court was created in 1996.

"Practically, the United States has violated and suspended all its commitments. Consequently, we have also suspended all our obligations under the memorandum and are currently implementing none of them." He also admonished the Trump Administration that "If they are wise, they must choose other approaches [than military action]."]]>Sat, 18 Jul 2026 12:59:00 -0400<![CDATA[streiff]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Military]]><![CDATA[Qatar]]><![CDATA[Saudi Arabia]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://redstate.com/streiff/2026/07/18/iran-declares-peace-mou-void-as-missile-strikes-injure-us-troops-in-jordan-n2204466<![CDATA[We&nbsp;reported on how the Olive Garden inadvertently entered the voter ID debate when their X account posted a response to a customer about the Never-Ending Pasta Pass, which went on sale on Thursday.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 18 Jul 2026 12:55:00 -0400<![CDATA[Nick Arama]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Voter ID]]><![CDATA[White House]]>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2026/07/18/stephen-millers-humorous-point-about-olive-garden-and-the-case-for-voter-id-n2204463<![CDATA[You have to give New York City's "democratic socialist" (commie) Mayor Zohran Mamdani credit for one thing: He's consistent.

Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez, the candidate party insiders had quietly consolidated around, dropped out of the race on Friday after firing her campaign manager over a financial reporting shortfall that topped $1 million.
