Yorktown High School in Arlington, Virginia is a large school with more than 2,500 students. Those students come from different backgrounds, but at Yorktown a group made up of mostly Muslim students targeted and harassed Jewish students while the school mostly did nothing at all.]]>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 21:20:02 -0400<![CDATA[John Sexton]]><![CDATA[Antisemitism]]><![CDATA[Islam]]><![CDATA[Judaism]]><![CDATA[Virginia]]>https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/08/12/norther-virginia-high-school-has-a-major-antisemitism-problem-n3817933<![CDATA[I have said this a million times, and I'll say it again right now, knowing I'm going to say it again soon.]]>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 20:40:16 -0400<![CDATA[Beege Welborn]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Marco Rubio]]><![CDATA[Pete Hegseth]]><![CDATA[Scott Bessent]]><![CDATA[Stephen Miller]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2026/08/12/totally-into-the-way-the-trump-cabinet-dogs-each-other-even-over-cats-n3817930<![CDATA[Back in 2012, Australia's Labor Prime Minister Julia Gillard pushed through a new entitlement called the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

Next we've seen Calexit, the flight of both human and financial capital from Gavin Newsom's progressive paradise, which may shortly lose Paramount after more than a century. Progressive and confiscatory policies have also fueled the Great Relocation, of which Calexit is a part, and in which large numbers of Americans have moved themselves and their capital from blue states to conservative alternatives, bringing their economic power with them.]]>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 18:40:19 -0400<![CDATA[Ed Morrissey]]><![CDATA[Delaware]]><![CDATA[Economy]]><![CDATA[Elon Musk]]><![CDATA[Nevada]]><![CDATA[Texas]]>https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2026/08/12/the-3t-blue-state-vamoose-doordash-delivers-itself-to-nv-others-to-tx-n3817916<![CDATA[It may not sound like much but Russia's grain terminal in Novorossiysk is one of the best defended areas in Russia.
