As Americans debate who belongs in our country, the reality exists that our literal neighbors are dying of thirst.

The White House's decision to send U.S. troops to Nigeria to train local forces to fight the never-ending mob of jihadists couldn't come soon enough. While the world's attention is on the Middle East, Islamic extremists have ramped up their violence against innocent men, women, and children, sparking some of the bloodiest ambushes in recent memory. On Monday night, multiple suicide bombers detonated almost simultaneously in the heavily populated city of Maiduguri, massacring 23 and sending more than 100 maimed and injured victims into nearby ambulances.

At a time when various states and countries are ramping up their support for euthanasia, the Scottish Parliament has taken a stance against it. Late Tuesday evening, members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) voted 69 to 57 against a proposal that would have legalized assisted suicide for both terminally ill and mentally competent adults in Scotland.

National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent's resignation amid armed conflict with Iran, after several Islamist terror attacks on U.S. soil, "is an unnerving development," reflected National Review's Noah Rothman, but the contents of the letter he wrote "should reassure trepidatious Americans that they're better off without him." When The Washington Stand searched for political figures defending Kent for this article, the only names that surfaced were former Fox News host turned anti-Zionist podcaster Tucker Carlson and avowed neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.

A startling new report surfaced this week revealing that China's communist regime hacked into U.S. voter registration databases in 2020 and planned to use the information to produce thousands of fake American driver's licenses in order to obtain mail-in ballots, with the purpose of casting fraudulent votes for former President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

God bless John Thune. At the moment, the majority leader from South Dakota is the only thing standing between a historic catastrophe and a stampede of short-sighted Republicans. It's a familiar position for the man at the helm of the Senate, who has to contend - not only with a fractured caucus day-in and day-out but also with the demands of a president whose big-picture goals sometimes conflict with the broader good of the chamber. Such is the case with the SAVE America Act - which is quickly turning into the vehicle that will do anything but save America.

Just how ignorant are Americans about what goes on in Washington? The Democrats' latest messaging barrage is certainly testing those limits. In a strategy that would be comical if it weren't so pathetic, both minority leaders are suggesting that it's the Republicans' fault that Homeland Security isn't funded. Republicans! The same party that's held six straight votes since Valentine's Day to reopen the agency and protect the nation's homeland, unsuccessfully. "That's what they do, right?" Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) said of the finger-pointing. "And they're good at it. ... The big difference is, they have 90% of the legacy media backing them up."

This may not sit well in an age of polling and clamor for direct democracy, but the reality is this: the duty of statesmen is not to follow public opinion, but to lead it. In moments of crisis, leaders are not called to read the polls - they are called to rise above them.

One unavoidable side-effect of gasoline prices being prominently posted in front of every roadside service station is that Americans remain constantly aware of the volatile fluctuations in gas prices. Since the start of President Trump's military action against Iran, the national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel has jumped from $2.98 on February 28 to $3.72 on March 16. World oil prices, which ended December under $60 per barrel, have now reached as high as $106 per barrel (as of this writing, they sat at $93 per barrel). With a jump like that, not only Americans but the entire world is taking notice.

Senior Writer, The Washington Stand

Over the past decade in particular, the annual Academy Awards ceremony has become increasingly irrelevant. Has anyone even seen "Nomadland," the Best Picture winner from 2020? How about "Coda," the 2021 winner of the awards for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay? 2023's "Oppenheimer" might sound a bit more familiar, but I doubt anyone remembers that the three-hour biopic snagged Best Picture that year. Part of the reason that the high-profile awards ceremony has faded from much of the public's radar is because the public has seen Hollywood for what it is: a self-aggrandizing cesspool of degeneracy and idiocy.
