A lot of you people sound nuts.

It is unsurprising that a Donald Trump campaign ad featuring the tagline "Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you" was effective in the 2024 presidential campaign. Indeed, a pro-Kamala Harris PAC says the spot, which featured a clip of Harris endorsing state-funded sex-change operations for prisoners,...Read more

It is going to be OK. It really will. You'll have the midterms in two years. There'll be another presidential election in four years. Those of you reading this insisting there will be no more elections are no better than the idiots on my side who think 2020 was stolen and that if Kamala Harris had won, there would be no more elections.

In ...Read more

After the decisive Republican victory on Election Day, one question bouncing around in conservative circles was: Will this lead the liberal media to change their ways? Will they reflect on how they are not in any way the "mainstream" media?

It's unlikely. They believe all their own bravado about being on the front lines against incoming "...Read more

In 1994, Republicans won a sweeping victory that cost Democrats control of the House and Senate for the first time in 40 years. Republicans took an eye-popping 54 seats, leading many to conclude that this was a permanent political realignment.

Two years later, Bill Clinton won reelection with 379 electoral college votes to Bob Dole's 159.

Here's another way to look at why Republicans swept the 2024 elections: It's the fault, only partly, of course, of the gerontocracy of the Democratic Party. Going back through history, it's hard to find a time when a party's leadership was so far along in years. The founder presidents retired in their mid-sixties. Andrew Jackson retired at 69, ...Read more

In the aftermath of its loss on Nov. 5, the Left has turned its lonely eyes to Joe Rogan.

The irreverent, world-conquering podcaster -- 14.5 million Spotify followers and counting -- is considered a symbol of Donald Trump's ability to use unconventional media outlets to reach disaffected voters, especially young males aka "bros."

Trump's ...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- It seems just about every American has an opinion about mass deportations. It's too bad most of those views are so uninformed.

I've been writing about immigration for 35 years, and I still haven't figured it out.

My take is complicated by the branches on my family tree.

I don't have a single undocumented immigrant in my lineage...Read more

Here's a pop quiz: When can an Army colonel overrule the Secretary of Defense? It happened last week for probably the first time in modern history. The short answer is: Even in the military, the Secretary of Defense cannot change the rules and procedures for criminal prosecutions and tell military judges how to try cases.

Here is the backstory....Read more

Do you remember a time when Americans cared that their fellow citizens had been kidnapped and held captive by terrorists?

I do. Think back to 1979, when Iranian terrorists stormed the American embassy in Tehran. They held more than 50 Americans hostage for 444 days.

And we cared. The Americans held captive were constantly on our minds. There ...Read more

Donald Trump won the election. The House and Senate are in Republican hands. That means the GOP now owns the debt and its consequences. This responsibility, while too much for past politicians, presents the opportunity of a lifetime: namely, to be the ones who put the government back on fiscal track and, among other things, save entitlement ...Read more

Across traditional and social media, in public forums and (no doubt) in private offices, Democrats are licking their wounds from the trouncing they received in last week's elections.

It isn't just that Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris lost the Electoral College and the popular vote -- the first time a Republican ...Read more

Donald Trump's foreign policy was, during his first term, not only successful; it was the most successful foreign policy of any president since Ronald Reagan. Yet thanks to their animus for Trump personally, pseudo-experts on foreign policy have refused to give Trump credit for his obvious wins: a quiescent Russia, a contained Iran, Middle ...Read more

Two weeks ago, I wrote, "There seems to be only one thing about which all Americans agree ... that something is very wrong in our nation."

My point then was that all the polling data has been pointing in one direction -- Americans of all persuasions are not happy with what's happening in and the direction of our country.

Now we see, despite ...Read more

Prepare to toss the common peace negotiation recipes, ceasefire artifices and usual foreign policy nostrums out the window.

When asked about Donald Trump's Ukraine peace plan, that's my hunch in a sentence.

Henry Kissinger said that politics is the art of the possible. The businessman's art of the deal is to create a win-win out of no win. ...Read more

The Left is hysterical over the prospect of a Trump administration in charge of the nation's health policy.

But life expectancy in the U.S. peaked in 2014 and has been shrinking nearly every year since then, an indicator that Americans' health is declining. This despite the trillions spent covering the uninsured. Expanding insurance is not ...Read more

I often report on fake "crises" pushed by media. Here's one that may be real: Kids are anxious. Lenore Skenazy, founder of the non-profit Let Grow, says it's because today's parents rarely allow their kids to experience the joys of independence. Skenazy once let her 9-year-old ride the New York City subway on his own. For that, the media labeled...Read more

The National Center for Education Statistics, which is a part of the U.S. Department of Education, released some data last week that revealed a problem plaguing this nation's public schools.

It is marijuana -- the dope that can make someone a dope.

NCES published a table derived from the 2022 National Crime Victimization Survey's School ...Read more

Nothing underlines the partisan nature of PBS right now than The Atlantic magazine being allowed to take over the long-running "Washington Week" program in August of 2023. This was not a hostile takeover but a deeper branding of what PBS is -- taxpayer-funded mangle-MAGA TV.

Four years ago, The Atlantic tried to take Donald Trump down with ...Read more

A few days before last week's election, Bernie Sanders issued a dire warning to voters: "If Donald Trump is elected, the struggle against climate change is over."

He had that right.

Climate change fanaticism was effectively on the ballot last week. The green energy agenda was decisively defeated.

It turns out that the tens of millions of ...Read more
