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

SAN DIEGO -- Had she won, Vice President Kamala Harris would have broken two barriers at once -- becoming the first woman and the first Indian American to be elected president.

And so, naturally, when the Democrat was defeated, Republicans were quick to deliver last rites to what they call "identity politics."

Not so fast. This election was ...Read more

Many Democrats have decided that Donald Trump won because some Hispanic and black voters are racist sexists. If only I were joking.

Trump's resounding victory was driven by a surge of support from minority voters. According to AP VoteCast, 42% of Latino voters and 16% of African American voters backed Trump. That was a marked increase from 2020...Read more

PITTSBURGH -- Walking out of the Allegheny County Republican election night event at a local luxury hotel, the young men waiting to valet my car got into a discussion with me about the just-announced election results.

All four men were in their 30s. Two were white, one was Black and the other Hispanic. As I traditionally do, I asked them how ...Read more

I never imagined I would think, let alone write, that the Democratic Party's victory in 2020 was a blessing. But for those of us -- meaning, it is now clear, a majority of us -- who regard the Left as an entirely destructive force in America as it is everywhere else in the world, 2020 may well have turned out to be a blessing.

Why?

For two ...Read more

"How dare you say that" isn't a persuasive political argument.

Yet the side that has believed it can bully its way to victory on cultural issues by policing the debate in its favor continues to act as if it is one, even after getting soundly beaten in the election.

The Left's game has been to insist that everyone adopt its tendentious ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Things got a little testy in the White House briefing room Thursday. It was the first daily briefing since Vice President Kamala Harris lost the presidential election, and reporters wanted to know if President Joe Biden takes responsibility for his starring role in Donald Trump's big win on Nov. 5.

The short answer: No.

Let's ...Read more

OK, first things first. I have to take a victory lap. Muhammad Ali said, "It's not bragging if you can back it up." I can back it up.

I was the only TV host in America to stick his neck on the line and boldly predict a Trump electoral landslide AND a popular vote victory.

I also promised this election would be a repeat of Reagan-Carter in 1980...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- Latinos are the pinata of the 2024 presidential election. So what else is new?

I didn't know who was going to win the 2024 presidential election, which seemed too close to call. But I knew two things for sure: Win or lose, Donald Trump was going get at least 40% of the Latino vote. And Latinos were going to get pummeled, ...Read more

In a just world, Donald Trump would have won the Nobel Peace Prize for securing the historic Abraham Accords peace agreements of 2020. So too, in a just world, would A-list Hollywood studios now be bidding for the rights to produce the film adaptation of the single greatest comeback story in American history: Donald Trump, the once and future ...Read more

If the 2024 presidential contest proved anything, it's that the mass media no longer drive the national conversation. They can no longer stoke fear and outrage in average voters. They can no longer prop up terrible candidates. And, like him or not, President-elect Donald Trump's success with black, Hispanic and Jewish voters, if exit polls are ...Read more
