WASHINGTON -- President-elect Donald Trump said so many things on the campaign trail that critics warned would hurt him in November. Yet he won the popular vote.

Now, a little more than a month before Trump takes the oath of office, President Joe Biden is limiting his public appearances to such an extent that it feels like Trump already is ...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

For the purpose of this discussion -- which will be guided not by nativist outrage but by common sense --"it" shall be defined as the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Adopted in 1868, the amendment has been in good working order ever since.

In Section 1, it declares: "All persons born or ...Read more

In the Harry Potter series, the villain Lord Voldemort is known as "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." There's a similar sentiment whenever someone expresses a heterodox opinion on vaccines.

HOMEWOOD, Pa. -- From time to time, Frank Tropiano will drive past the tiny structure he called home after he and his parents, three sisters and his grandparents arrived in this country in 1966, a structure that was attached to the rear of the house on 7311 Susquehanna St.

"Our address was literally 7311 Susquehanna Rear," he explained. The ...Read more

One of the highest priorities for the incoming Trump administration should be to end the Democrats' weaponization of powerful government agencies against taxpayers and businesses they don't like. Nowhere has this mission been more pernicious than the party-line vote to fund the IRS with nearly $80 billion and hire tens of thousands of new tax ...Read more

If they have any instinct for self-preservation, Iran and Hamas should be monitoring President-Elect Donald Trump's communications closely these days.

A couple of weeks ago, there was the Truth Social post promising "ALL HELL TO PAY" if Hamas didn't release its hostages by Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20.

"Those responsible," Trump noted, "...Read more

It's been clear for four long years now that Democrats hate us.

Exhibit A is Attorney General Merrick Garland and his Gestapo-like Department of Justice. Never forget this DOJ wanted to persecute American moms and dads for disagreeing with government policy at PTA meetings.

Never forget they sent pro-life grandmothers to prison for many years ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- When President Joe Biden issued an unconditional pardon for his son Hunter Biden earlier this month, he took another step in his long walk to placing his presidency on the bottom 10% list.

The rapid demise of the brutal Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria has taken every geopolitical analyst and self-proclaimed Middle East "expert" by storm.

In the ...Read more

Even before we knew the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione was politically motivated, many leftists were justifying, celebrating and rationalizing the shooting. There's a real debate going on in some quarters of the progressive Left over whether slaying CEOs is a bad thing. And it's unsurprising.

Of course...Read more

Democrats are slowly, but surely, building a permission structure for progressive activists to kill those they determine are bad. From the rise of antisemitism to, now, the murder of an insurance CEO, few Democrats seem capable of condemning violence without adding a "but."

To their credit, Gov. Josh Shapiro and Sen. John Fetterman of ...Read more

Glance through any post-election voter interview and you will inevitably find someone who mentions "America first" when explaining his or her vote. They understand the term in varying ways, but the throughline is the belief that Trump is a strong leader who will steadfastly pursue America's national interests.

Sorry, but that is deluded. Even ...Read more

The reelection of Donald Trump has created overwhelming angst among the press. With Trump, they have been like the opposite of the Humpty Dumpty rhyme. The media are all the king's horses and all the king's men -- and they couldn't tear Humpty Dumpty apart. All their screeching about his menace only makes him successful.

Longtime CBS News ...Read more

Because, in his view, the Democrats who claim to be the great scourge of "disinformation" are ...Read more

It's a testament to the energy and drive of Elon Musk that he's now a key adviser to an incoming president of the United States who he helped elect this year -- and this is a side project for him.

What stamp collecting is to most of us -- something we make time for when not engaged in our day jobs -- influencing the future direction of the ...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- The liberal media will spend the next four years criticizing everything that President-elect Donald Trump says and does.

That's not fair. But, very often, the criticism will be justified.

Trump and his underachieving cabinet of misfit toys are not about to let the fact that they don't understand certain topics -- national ...Read more

During the course of an FBI written response to a Freedom of Information Act request asking about the trade names and suppliers of surveillance software the FBI had purchased, the government has yet again quietly acknowledged its antipathy to constitutional provisions that all of its employees have sworn to uphold.
