THE MEDIA EFFORT TO BIDENIZE TRUMP. President Joe Biden’s two biggest liabilities were his senility and the damaging inflation his administration helped create. Now, some media commentators are trying to convince Americans that President Donald Trump has the same liabilities. On the topic of senility, in recent weeks, the president’s adversaries have tried to argue that the […]
Democrats are allowing people to be murdered by illegal immigrants so they can brag that they are not cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This is the reality of the most recent case in Fairfax County, Virginia. There, El Salvadoran national Marvin Morales Ortez had been jailed and charged with multiple crimes after “maliciously wounding” someone who […]
The prevailing attitude among immigration decision-makers seems to have been that there are no foreign nationals abroad with malign intents — just future hardworking...
The worst of Washington politics is in plain sight as Republicans and Democrats fight over Obamacare subsidies that expire at midnight on New Year’s Eve.

With President Donald Trump‘s approval ratings in the tank, all Democrats have to do is offer a sane alternative that normal Americans feel they can trust.

During President Donald Trump‘s first campaign for president, pro-life activists were thrilled at his statements of support for the unborn.

Ray Bradbury gave a characteristically prescient interview to the Seattle Times over 30 years ago, in 1993. “The problem in our country isn’t with books being banned, but with people no longer reading,” the Fahrenheit 451 author said. “Look at the magazines, the newspapers around us — it’s all junk, all trash, tidbits of news.” […]
The belief that if you work, you will be able to succeed has fallen in recent years, but a strong 70% majority still believes it is true. Democrats have always been less likely to believe the American dream exists, with just 60% believing the above statement is true today compared to 88% of Republicans. Just […]
Maybe the progressives can bend the arc of history. Maybe feminists can change the rules of the game. But try as they might, the self-appointed agents of change cannot change human nature. Specifically, women and men will always be different, and their divergent tastes and desires don’t always match the script of modern, enlightened, egalitarianism. […]
After 15 years of Republican railing against the Affordable Care Act, GOP lawmakers have it on the ropes. But four House Republicans are trying to help prop it up. The Republican quartet joined Democrats Dec. 17 to force a House vote on a straight three-year extension of the enhanced Obamacare tax credits, which will expire […]
Having been part of the conservative movement for over 35 years, I’ve met a lot of the people who make the movement work. Unfortunately, given this long association, I find myself knowing more and more of the departed conservatives each year. This year was a particularly tough one, as I personally knew 10 of the […]
