There was one supervillain in the story of the 2024 campaign that almost surpassed Donald Trump -- Elon Musk.

From the minute he bought Twitter in 2022, the leftists who aspire to complete messaging control were furious. They knew their 2020 jig was up, that they couldn't just suppress damaging stories like the Hunter Biden laptop. Reporters ...Read more

"It isn't a hard choice," we said. On one side was a candidate who would abide by the Constitution and laws of the United States and accept the outcome of elections. On the other was a candidate refusing to accept a 2024 defeat even as memories of his attempted coup in 2020 remain fresh; vowing to punish the "enemy within"; and promising that ...Read more

Here are some observations on what you didn't hear on election night. Most networks' focus was, quite properly, on whether former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris would carry enough of the 93 electoral votes of the seven target states -- Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin -- to ...Read more

It turns out that everyone underestimated how a proposal for mass deportations could bring Americans together.

Donald Trump assembled the biggest, most diverse GOP coalition in decades while running further to the right on immigration, crime and the culture than perhaps any major-party presidential candidate in U.S. history.

Trump inveighed ...Read more

What if you were allowed to vote only because it didn't make a difference? What if no matter how you voted, the elites always got their way? What if the concept of one person/one vote was just a fiction created by the government to induce your compliance?

What if democracy as it has come to exist in America today is dangerous to personal ...Read more

A spiritual depression stalks the United States. It cannot and will not be alleviated by elections.

We have become reptiles with no moral compass.

Our gratifications have become entirely hormonal, not spiritual: cravings for power, money, fame, sex and creature comforts.

Whatever happened to justice?

Whatever happened to self-discipline ...Read more

Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris are surely experiencing disappointment, but one of the Biden-Harris administration's pillars -- "industrial policy" -- won big on Tuesday. That's because it's already been embraced by both parties. President-elect Donald Trump loves expensive tariffs, and Harris loves big subsidies to big businesses, ...Read more

What are some of the most important takeaways from Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election this week? Certainly not what the media are telling you. But there are enduring lessons that this election makes clear:

1. Republicans had a great legal ground game this time. After the 2020 debacle, Republican National Committee co...Read more

WASHINGTON -- What happened?

In June, President Joe Biden fumbled through his one debate with Donald Trump. Then Biden stopped running for reelection and handed the reins to his vice president without a single primary vote in her favor.

Kamala Harris showed that she didn't have the necessary spine when she chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- Oye, Democratic Party, Latinos sent you a message. Did you get it?

Former, and now also future, President Donald Trump has now set the high-water mark when it comes to Latino support for a Republican presidential candidate.

First, some context. The magic number is "40" -- as in 40%. That's the sacred threshold into the Hall of ...Read more

Open borders allow deadly narcotics and criminal gangs to invade our country. But there's a silent killer also making its way across the border: tuberculosis.

America's woke public health authorities are more concerned with equity -- redistributing health resources among racial groups -- than with keeping a disease the U.S. once nearly ...Read more

I write this on Election Day. People are freaking out. "A Second Trump Administration Would Be a Carnival of Corruption and Greed," is a New York Times headline. "President Kamala Would Be a Disaster for the World," says The Telegraph. Wait. Take a breath. Yes, Donald Trump is an awful man who only cares about himself. He's scary reckless. But ...Read more

The 1972 presidential election -- which pitted incumbent President Richard Nixon against Sen. George McGovern of South Dakota -- was an absolute wipeout.

Nixon won 49 of the 50 states, losing only Massachusetts.

In Delaware that year, Nixon took 59.6% of the popular vote and McGovern took only 39.2%. But the incumbent Republican senator ...Read more

The 2024 presidential campaign is ending pretty much where it began: loathing the never-ending presence of Donald Trump. On the day before the election, The New York Times front page displayed a gaudy editorial (badly disguised as "News Analysis") under the title "Torrent of Lies Redefines Political Norms."

Doesn't that sound like a hard-...Read more

Vice President Kamala Harris is finishing up a fairy-tale campaign. Unfortunately for her, the story is "The Emperor's New Clothes."

You're likely familiar with Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale. A king is obsessed with his clothes. Two con men convince him that they can weave an outfit with a special property: The garments are invisible...Read more

LATROBE, Pennsylvania -- "If we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole damn thing."

Two weeks ago, former President Donald Trump announced these words to rallygoers in this Westmoreland County town at a packed event, which included several former Pittsburgh Steelers and steelworkers taking the stage to endorse him; the steelworkers even got the ...Read more

It may be impossible to overstate the damage done to morality by the Democrats and other leftists calling Donald Trump a fascist and a Nazi and declaring him "Hitler."

Asked by Anderson Cooper on CNN if she believes Trump is a "fascist," Kamala Harris said, "Yes, I do."

With regard to calling Trump "Hitler," Newsweek's fact-checker concluded: ...Read more
