Interest Rates Will Go Higher
Commentary Financial markets sank when the Federal Reserve (Fed) added 0.75 percentage points to its benchmark federal funds rate on Sept. 21.

Giorgia Meloni—whose Brothers of Italy party unfortunately has historical links to Benito Mussolini’s fascists and has shown some support for Vladimir Putin’s Russia—won 44 percent of the vote on Sept. 26 and is set to become Italy’s first female prime minister.

The Best Advice Washington Ever Got on US-Japan Defense
Commentary It’s exhilarating that Japanese leaders are talking about spending much more on defense and improving the nation’s defense capabilities. But they are short on specifics, and with communist China out looking for a fight, it’s dangerous to hope Japan figures things out at its own pace. The Americans, who shoulder the heaviest load in…
