Trump on message is bad news for Democrats

While the main takeaway from Thursday night’s presidential debate was the diminished mental faculties of President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump showed just how formidable he is when he is disciplined in his rhetoric. The Trump that showed up to the debate last night was one who is at ease and on message as […]

Pushing a conservative agenda does not threaten ‘democracy’

The Heritage Foundation and center-right groups are working together to ensure a potential Trump presidency will implement socially and fiscally conservative policies. But liberal groups and commentators fear these transition plans are a threat to democracy. Project 2025, according to its description, “paves the way for an effective conservative Administration based on four pillars: a policy […]

Democrats may need the courage of a Hugh Scott moment

Hours after President Joe Biden’s feeble debate performance Thursday night that left voters across the country stunned, two of Pennsylvania’s most powerful Democrats, Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) and Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), pushed back against calls for Biden to step down from his reelection campaign. Shapiro appeared on MSNBC and CNN and was repeatedly asked […]

Replacing Biden puts Democrats in a no-win situation

Democrat’s chatter about the possibility of replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee ignores that it would put the party in a lose-lose situation. Biden’s abysmal debate performance has inspired anonymous Democratic operatives as well as liberal media pundits to call, hope, or pray that Biden will no longer be the party’s nominee in […]

The federal government thinks it is offensive to say ‘manmade’

In the latest example of left-wing linguistic totalitarianism, the Department of the Interior published a guide instructing bureaucrats to use “inclusive language” by abandoning supposedly offensive words such as “cockpit,” “husband,” and “mother.” The guide was “developed as part of the department’s efforts to prevent and combat discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.” […]

What international media are saying about the Biden-Trump debate

As with the U.S. media, international media outlets are absorbed by the ghostly figure of President Joe Biden at Thursday’s presidential debate in Atlanta. Here are some snapshots of what different publications around the world are saying. Mexico’s El Universal lamented that Biden’s “hoarse, weak voice and his erratic statements ended up giving victory to a […]

Biden’s weak closing statement is the nail in the coffin

President Joe Biden‘s closing statement in the presidential debate was representative of his objectively awful performance. Though there were certainly some confrontational moments earlier in the debate, Biden shockingly decided not to attack former President Donald Trump in his closing statement. Despite his divisive nature, Biden opted to discuss the tax system, Trump’s proposed tariffs, […]

Biden can’t survive this career-ending earthquake — and shame on those who led him to this catastrophe

The Democrats who disgracefully tried to pretend their emperor had new clothes, when they all knew he didn’t.

Biden, in first debate, peddled malarkey on saving Social Security

President Joe Biden said in the debate Thursday night that he can save Social Security by hiking payroll taxes on the wealthy. He asserted that this tax hike would be enough to cover Social Security’s shortfall. Here’s what Biden said: “The idea that they’re going to — I’m not — I’ve been proposing that everybody, […]

Free speech and Biden’s debacle

Is free speech facing its Waterloo? The fight’s outcome will be “the nearest-run thing you ever saw,” as the Duke of Wellington said of the original battle. The Supreme Court dodged the issue recently when Justice Amy Coney Barrett and a 6-3 majority, including three Democratic appointees, dismissed Murthy v. Missouri on a technicality. Plaintiffs […]

Democrats’ affirmative action politics haunt them, amid Biden’s decline

The Democrats are in trouble, but the problem doesn’t begin and end with President Joe Biden’s poor and declining condition. Biden’s at the heart of this story, but the Democrats’ current predicament begins and ends with Kamala Harris. Top Democrats, including Biden, realize Harris would be a horrible presidential candidate, but that skipping her would […]

Iran wants polling stations in the US? Fine, but we should have provided the ballots

Iranians headed to the polls on Friday to elect a new president. The whole process is window-dressing. Under the Islamic Republic’s constitution, the presidency is a position without meaningful authority to make policy. That power instead resides with the supreme leader, currently Ali Khamenei, a figure the Iranian people do not elect but who rules […]

Four boxes Trump’s vice presidential pick should check

Like the summer, election season is only getting hotter, and tens of millions of people are ready for a change. Over the past four years, record inflation levels, border anarchy, violent conflict abroad, and an executive branch openly in thrall to divisive identity politics and fringe leftist obsessions have made many voters eager to empower […]

Biden’s mental state is an inescapable problem now

If there were any doubt that President Joe Biden‘s age and mental state would be a problem in the campaign, the presidential debate on Thursday night put that to rest. It took barely 15 minutes into the first debate of the 2024 general election for Biden to freeze up and utter an incoherent sentence. And […]
