The left is screaming that President Donald Trump is on some kind of ideological crusade.

Some recent headlines: "Trump and Musk's Purge Isn't Cost Cutting -- It's a Coup"; "Doge is About Ideology and Mindless Budget Cutting"; "Elon Musk's Indiscriminate Carnage"; "Dems Must Stand Up Against the Bully in the White House."

It's sort of like ...Read more

The political hacks opposing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are laughable -- until you realize these hysterics present a serious threat to U.S. national security.

President Dwight Eisenhower's no longer with us, but we have his National Security Council 162/2 report, dated Oct. 30, 1953. Once top secret, it's now on the ...Read more

New York is already getting sued by the Trump administration for prioritizing illegal aliens over the safety of Americans. Get ready for New York City to be slammed with similar suits.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul blusters that the legal action is a "worthless, publicity-driven lawsuit" that will "be a total failure." Hochul insists "New York ...Read more

I tried meat grown in a lab.

It tastes like ... well ... meat.

I guess it is meat, but it's not grown the normal way.

Scientists extract meat cells from an animal and then grow them in a bioreactor, much like ones you see in a brewery. There, the cells divide again and again until you get ... meat.

If you want to try some, you'll soon be ...Read more

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth traveled to Belgium last week to participate in the Ukraine Defense Contact Group -- a gathering of officials from countries supporting Ukraine in its war with Russia. He delivered there a clear and rational explanation of the Trump administration's policy on this conflict.

"The bloodshed must stop," he said. "...Read more

On the PBS show "Washington Week with The Atlantic" on Feb. 7, host Jeffrey Goldberg began: "Elon Musk, the unelected, unconfirmed, unofficial, but extremely powerful prime minister of the United States, is carrying out his plan to purge thousands of employees from the federal government."

A few minutes later, NPR reporter Asma Khalid talked ...Read more

Republicans are in power, so Democrats are back to pretending to care about the Constitution.

As Democrats struggle to attack Trump 2.0, the national propaganda press is pushing a new narrative.

Earlier this month, a New York Times newsletter posed the question, "A constitutional crisis?" Three days later, The New York Times reported, "Trump...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- A friend describes me as a "belligerent centrist." I consider myself an honest umpire who calls balls and strikes regardless of who is standing at the plate.

By the way, I got to the center because I dislike both political parties and often can't tell them apart. Republicans and Democrats go through the motions and argue over hot...Read more

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania -- Some people are different in person than they are online. Not Scott Presler. He is as kind, soft-spoken and charismatic in person as he is when he posts about his mission to register voters as Republicans in Pennsylvania. This is true whether he is here at the Farm Show Complex or any of the scores of other events I...Read more

The spectacular dominance of America's Magnificent Seven tech firms -- with $1 trillion-plus market caps -- has been a marvel to behold and a genuine source of American pride. This is a theme that both President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance have in celebration of American business prowess.

The Magnificent Seven companies -- Amazon, ...Read more

Europe has been warned, and warned again.

Still, it has been reduced to a near-fainting fit -- and, in the case of one German official, actual tears -- over the Trump administration's tough words about its deficient military spending and U.S. moves to begin negotiating on its own with Russia over the Ukraine war.

In response, French ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Sunday night's "SNL50: The Anniversary Special" celebrated the long-running NBC show as you knew it would -- with the soothing reassurance to its ostensibly liberal viewers that they own comedy and that, in their world, the right's only place in their orbit is as the butt of their self-satisfied jokes.

Even though President ...Read more

The world just changed. I never thought I'd live long enough to see this day. America is about to take the red pill! This nation is about to find out some ugly truths about vaccines in general! The deadly COVID vaccine in particular!

The crimes of Dr. Anthony Fauci and Big Pharma, along with their greedy, criminal Ponzi scheme friends at the ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- "My uncle started USAID in 1961, for humanitarian purposes, to put our country on the side of the poor," Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pronounced Thursday at the White House as he was sworn in as Health secretary.

"It has been captured by the military industrial complex. It has become a sinister propagator of totalitarianism" across the...Read more

America, unfortunately, has long been suffering from a crisis of civics. Put simply, many Americans are woefully ignorant about the structure and features of their government. But every so often, an opportunity emerges to reteach some basics. The media's predictable shrieks and howls of "constitutional crisis" notwithstanding, we are in the ...Read more

Because of their modern designs, we might be led to believe that electric cars are technological marvels. But, really, most of the purported conveniences and innovations of new EVs are already available in most standard gas-powered cars at a far cheaper price. EVs are, at best, a lateral technology for most consumers (if you never plan on ...Read more

One of the reasons I have long inveighed against "public" TV is its tendency to avoid authentic conservative opinion. For almost 20 years now, Exhibit A has been "PBS NewsHour" pundit David Brooks. PBS picked up Brooks as its supposedly right-leaning Friday night opinionator in 2004, shortly after he became a New York Times columnist in 2003.

As one who shared the hope, after the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, that representative government, guaranteed liberties and global capitalism laced with some measure of welfare state protections would spread across the globe, I naturally look back over the intervening long generation and ask what went wrong.

In the 1990s, it seemed...Read more
