Grading the Second Trump Presidency, Six Months In
Over the course of four years' banishment to America's political wilderness while subjected to both a would-be assassin's bullets and the humiliating and unprecedented spectacle of criminal prosecution by his political opponents, Donald Trump seems to have intuited a key life lesson: Time is of the essence. Carpe diem, seize the day. And so it...Read more
Obama Knew the Russiagate Intelligence Was Manufactured
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard contends that new declassified documents show that former President Barack Obama engaged in the plot to create the lie that President Donald Trump had conspired with Russia to steal the 2016 presidential election.
Of course he did.
We have known for years that in July 2016, CIA Director John ...Read more
Trump Can Never Accuse Obama of Anything
The liberal Poynter Institute is very upset at President Donald Trump for suggesting former President Barack Obama was guilty of "treason" for organizing the campaign to paint Trump as a tool of the Russians. How must the media deal with this?
Tom Jones and Rick Edmonds lamented "Trump's wild rants cannot be dismissed or ignored as merely ...Read more
Are Ex-Presidents a Help or Hindrance?
For a generation, Americans have had a historically large number of ex-presidents around, a possible source of counsel from one of only 45 people who have exercised the broad powers conferred by Article II of the Constitution.
You might expect former presidents to supply elements of personal comity and institutional norms to current politics, ...Read more

We Are Obsessed with Coldplay’s Kiss Cam Couple
By now, you’ve definitely seen it — the viral video of Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot in the canoodle heard ’round the world.

To Enforce the Laws Faithfully
When the IRS announced two weeks ago that it would not enforce a section of federal law commonly called the Johnson Amendment, many clerics rejoiced. The Johnson Amendment -- named for its author, then-Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson -- strikes a bargain with charities. You accept tax-free dollars, you stay out of the political arena.
The amendment is ...Read more
The Rotten Core of a Manufactured Scandal
Did former President Barack Obama play a role in the fabrication of the Russia collusion narrative? According to National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard -- once a rising star within the Democratic Party and now a gadfly for political truth -- the answer is unequivocally yes. More than that, Gabbard suggests the Obama administration ...Read more
Trump's Fed Battle a Matter of Fiscal -- Not Just Political -- Control
President Donald Trump is once again floating the idea of firing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, ostensibly in objection to excessively high interest rates. But this debate is not about monetary policy. It's a power play aimed at subordinating America's central bank to the fiscal needs of the executive branch and Congress. In other ...Read more
There Need to Be Consequences
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has begun releasing hundreds of pages of previously classified documents about the "Russia collusion hoax." These documents prove that allegations about then-candidate Donald Trump colluding with Russia to win the 2016 election were false, that everyone in the Obama administration knew ...Read more

Cal Thomas: What standard? What scandal?

Obama's Criminal Hoax: Intel Lies Damaging National Security
Thank Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for beginning the necessary process of refuting and punishing the Obama administration's RussiaRussiaRussia lies that put American national security at risk.

What Will AI Do for Our Happiness?
The West faces a series of serious economic challenges: a demographic collapse that undermines growth; a welfare state that sucks money from the future and dispenses it in the present; a regulatory structure that focuses more on redistributionism and top-down control than on innovation. But, we are told, there is one enormous hope for the ...Read more
Hunter Biden Gives 3-Hour Interview, Lots of F bombs
WASHINGTON -- Hunter Biden is making news again. Former President Joe Biden's son sat down for a lengthy interview with podcaster Andrew Callaghan that dropped Monday.
With his father out of the White House, Hunter Biden could use 2025 to retreat into private life.
Instead, for over three hours, the former president's son talked about his ...Read more
Breaking the Public School Monopoly on Education Overdue
The Trump administration has been pursuing, on two fronts, the critical objective of fixing America's broken education system.
One, an executive order by President Donald Trump, issued shortly after he assumed office, is to dismantle the Department of Education. Outright closing of the department is only possible by an act of Congress. ...Read more
New Yorkers' Choice: Fight About Abortion or Fight for the State's Future
A new war between the states is erupting -- this time over abortion. A dozen states, including Texas and Louisiana, have enacted near-total bans on abortion. Eight other states, including New York, are going on the offense against these anti-abortion states.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul thinks she can be the supreme leader for all of America, ...Read more
Bad Ideas, No Matter Which Side Sells Them!
Capitalism gets a lot of hate. I expect it from the left. They blame free markets for racism, "horrifying inequality" and even, according to Economist Joseph Stiglitz, "accelerating climate change." People on the right generally defend capitalism, but today, a growing number agree with the left. Author James Lindsay says, "They make the exact ...Read more
Trump and Huckabee Took the Right Stand for Christians in the Holy Land
At the White House press briefing on July 17, EWTN White House Correspondent Owen Jenson asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the Catholic church in Gaza that had been struck that day by an artillery shell.
"In Gaza today, Holy Family Catholic Church was struck by an Israeli shell," Jenson said.
"Yes," said Leavitt.

Pay No Attention to Hunter and the Bitter Bidens
Anyone who's followed the dissolute life and times of Hunter Biden knows that no one wanted the Biden presidency to end less than Hunter. His father's power was a cash cow, giving him millions he wasted on crack cocaine and hookers. So when he tried to mount a moral high horse in a three-hour podcast interview, that's news.
The Associated Press...Read more
The End of Immortality in Washington
Over the last several decades, you could count on your fingers (and maybe a few toes) the number of government programs that have been canceled -- no matter how obsolete, inefficient or wasteful they were, and despite the fact that, in some rare cases, their missions were accomplished.
Even Ronald Reagan, who called for the cancelation of ...Read more

Trump has just quietly pulled the plug on America’s soft-power empire
PARIS — A few years ago, at a panel in North Africa, a tone-deaf American diplomat sat before a room full of people from the global south, many from countries scarred by U.S.-led wars, and declared that he wanted to see America everywhere. Like some kind of global “McFreedom” chain, planted in every corner of the map, whose burgers don’t...Read more
