POLITICS & POLICY

Virtually every week, there seems to be another issue that preoccupies the country. But while our attention is focused on President Donald Trump, Google, Charlottesville, Russia, impeachment, Jeffrey Epstein, the next elections, racism, a trade war with China, the #MeToo movement or something else, LGBTQ organizations are quietly going about their work dismantling ethical norms,

While President Donald Trump is an ideal scapegoat for leftist hatred and demagoguery, the left’s ultimate goal is to permanently reduce conservatism and the Republican Party to minority status by indelibly associating them with racism. Listen to what the Democratic presidential candidates and other Democrats are saying. If you support border enforcement, you are a

Immediately following two horrific mass shootings — one in El Paso, Texas, and another within a matter of hours in Dayton, Ohio — the blame game started. For many, culprit No. 1, of course, is President Donald Trump. Presidential candidate Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., said: “There is a complicity in the President’s hatred that undermines

“Fake news!” shouts the president. His supporters cheer. That drives my colleagues into a frenzy of self-absorbed handwringing: “Threats to press freedom … press persecution!” It’s silly. American reporters are hardly less safe because of President Donald Trump’s hyperbole. (Trump is reckless when he uses the term in other countries. Authoritarians in Russia, China, the

It was interesting to note a comment made by Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) during last week’s Democratic presidential debate. Regarding health care policy Harris said, “For a Democrat to be running for president with a plan that does not cover everyone, I think is without excuse.” Harris, obviously, places coverage as the top policy goal

In the New York City public schools, only about two-thirds of K-12 students graduate with a high-school diploma. Of that two-thirds, a self-selected group then attends the City College of New York. Now, notice that this isn’t all of that two-thirds: it’s only those graduates who want to go to college, we assume because they

The new president of The Heartland Institute, Frank Lasee, was not exaggerating when he described the 13th International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC13) as “the most important climate change and energy event of the year.” Speaking about the July 25 conference held at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., Lasee explained, “ICCC13 demonstrated that the Climate Delusion is not

In Wednesday evening’s Democratic presidential debate circus, the left’s favorite darlings turned on one another with a selfish vengeance, which was a positive development for the country and mildly entertaining. The glorious infighting continued among progressive commentators. This acrimony, coupled with the public exposure of the left’s crazy ideas, surely diminished the party’s image among

At the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s annual convention in Detroit, delegates unanimously recommended that the House of Representatives impeach President Donald Trump. For what? Derrick Johnson, the NAACP’s president, said: “The pattern of Trump’s misconduct is unmistakable and has proven time and time again that he is unfit to serve as

Never before have presidential candidates offered voters so much “free” stuff. Kamala Harris wants you to “collect up to $500 a month.” Elizabeth Warren says, “We need to go tenfold in our research and development in green energy.” No one has tracked the cost of all of the promises. So my video team did! Who

ACCIDENT, Maryland — Hours before the festivities began, generations of families were lining up along U.S. Route 219, which is Main Street in this Garrett County town. Armed with coolers of ice, folding chairs and old blankets, and dressed in colorful patriotic clothing, they came to watch the 100-year-old homecoming parade that celebrates their community

The Trump-aligned conservative mind surveys the cultural and political landscape and thinks: We’ve got this. Mueller, at the hearings, like some disinterred mortician, victim of his own faded glory, age, and the ignominious designs of Hillary-aligned mortuary scientists. The reprehensible “squad,” embodiments of the subversive enemies from within our Founding Fathers warned about. The ugliness of

Every non-liberal leftist — that is, nearly every Democrat running for president, New York Times and Washington Post columnist, CNN and MSNBC host, and your left-wing brother-in-law — labels every Trump supporter and, of course, President Donald Trump, a “racist.” And they don’t stop there. Leftists don’t only label the half of the country that

If you think that it is outrageous that Democratic presidential candidates want to eliminate the southern border and that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls our detention facilities there “concentration camps,” then you haven’t been reading and believing Howard Zinn’s best-selling A People’s History of the United States. But if you have been taught by a teacher

President Donald Trump, in a series of tweets, offered four freshman Democratic congresswomen a suggestion. Given their complaints about America and about Israel, tweeted Trump, the four, aka “the Squad” should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.” Of the four, only Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.,

Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller arrives to testify in Washington, D.C., July 24, 2019. (Leah Millis/Reuters) All along, Democrats were hoping the special counsel would do their dirty work. It’s the same mistake all of Trump’s opponents have made. Toward the end of today’s long hearings, special counsel Robert Mueller struggled to find even the
