Though I once checked email in a room where others watched Elf (2003), I have otherwise not seen a Will Ferrell performance since his 2000 turn as George W. Bush (“Strategery!”) on Saturday Night Live. Those wishing to relitigate the merits of Anchorman (2004) or Step Brothers (2008) will need to look elsewhere. What I […]
It was a combination of Democratic incompetence and Republican success that won President Donald Trump his way back to the White House. This is what gave him a clean sweep of the swing states, as much in Democrat-leaning Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin as in Republican-leaning Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. A lot can change […]
Former Vice President Kamala Harris’s incompetence isn’t going away any time soon. Nor, likely, is the disastrous governance of California Democrats. In fact, California is likely to be on the receiving end of both in a few years. The most likely outcome for Harris since her presidential loss in November has been a return to […]
Patriotic people of all stripes have plenty to celebrate after President Donald Trump completed the greatest comeback in U.S. political history Monday, once again taking the oath of office. On the flip side, if you are not a fan of the United States, or if you hold racial or religious animus toward a certain demographic, […]
On Election Day in 2016, Gen. Michael Flynn penned an opinion article in the Hill. It represented a complete about-face for a man who made his career fighting radical Islamism as he uncritically voiced and amplified Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan‘s positions. To anyone who knew Flynn, it was clear he did not write the piece […]
Soaring inflation fueled by out-of-control government spending has put a terrible strain on family budgets over the past few years. This drove Latino voters to support change in Washington: a new president and a new majority in Congress. However, will lawmakers listen to the voters who put them in charge? As Congress convenes and President […]
It’s no secret the pro-life movement has taken it on the chin over the past year. The latest punch is the nomination of arguably pro-abortion Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to serve as secretary of Health and Human Services, an important position in implementing pro-life policies throughout the federal government. Pro-life people are publicly and privately […]
Even before he took office, President Donald Trump was already securing major policy wins. Trump’s election induced the Biden administration to withdraw two pending regulations that would have canceled over $250 billion in federal student loans, without congressional approval. Biden officials judged that they did not have enough time to finalize the loan cancellation plans […]
It may seem euphemistic to describe President Donald Trump’s second inaugural address as “uncompromising.” It will have struck many as merely crude and characteristically unpleasant. Hard-hitting, it certainly was. Trump portrayed the past four years as marked by “horrible betrayal,” “vicious weaponization,” and a “corrupt establishment.” But it is simplistic to think the moment at […]

President Donald Trump has returned to the White House with a long national security to-do list. It starts with shoring up the U.S.-Mexico border while ridding the nation of criminal migrants who entered in significant numbers under former President Joe Biden. But Trump’s second term has no time to waste on more traditional matters of […]
