In just two weeks since being elected to return to the White House, Donald Trump has given those accused of suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome ample cause to feel, well, decidedly un-deranged. Regrettably if unsurprisingly, it's shaping up to be an epic time for "I-told-you-so's," as the president-elect's selections of those who will ...Read more

In July 1945, just weeks after leading Great Britain to final victory over the Nazis, Prime Minister Winston Churchill found himself booted out of office by an electorate that didn't merely reject his bid to stay in power but did so overwhelmingly. Any notion that Churchill's historic achievements since taking command five years earlier would ...Read more

The Oct. 7, 2023 invasion of Israel by some 6,000 Hamas gunmen has changed America's political conversation in multiple respects. Who knew, for example, that there actually exists a pro-slaughter constituency on the far left and college campuses, at least when it comes to Jews, spawning chants by professed progressives of "We are Hamas! We are ...Read more

On Feb. 20, 1939, 20,000 Americans filled New York City's Madison Square Garden to pronounce themselves Nazis, giving Nazi salutes and cheering for Adolf Hitler. The rally took place just two days before George Washington's birthday, the stage outfitted with a massive portrait of our first president, flanked by both American flags and ...Read more

Anyone undecided on whether or not Donald Trump is all there cognitively got quite the lifeline recently at a Trump rally outside Philadelphia when what started as a town hall turned into a new television special: Donald Trump Dancing With Himself. Midway through an event in which South Dakota Gov. and famed puppy executioner Kristi Noem was ...Read more

In her 2021 book "Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy," journalist Batya Ungar-Sargon argued that arrogance and addiction to political fashion has tanked Americans' faith in the news media. There's reason to think she's right. Former National Public Radio editor Uri Berliner described NPR's "unspoken consensus about the stories we ...Read more

What began last Oct. 7 with the invasion of Israel by 6,000 Hamas gunmen bent on slaughtering Jews has reached the one-year mark, with Hezbollah, another heavily armed and genocidal enterprise, firing thousands of missiles at Israeli civilians. The left has largely whitewashed or defended Hamas' and Hezbollah's attempts at genocide while ...Read more

On Jan. 19, 1989, Ronald Reagan devoted his last speech as president of the United States to reminding Americans that our country owes its success to immigrants. "It's the great life force of each generation of new Americans that guarantees that America's triumph shall continue unsurpassed into the next century and beyond," Reagan said. "This, I...Read more

In June 2006, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., was asked in Boston what the Democrats' plan was for dealing with Iran, designated even then by our State Department as the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism and well on its way to acquiring nuclear weapons. "I don't know," Durbin replied. "With any luck Israel will do something about it, ...Read more

Donald Trump's surrogates faced something of a challenge in the aftermath of last week's presidential debate, obliged to insist that things had gone well for him, all evidence to the contrary. And there was plenty of contrary evidence provided by the former president's responses to questions posed by the moderators, as Kamala Harris displayed ...Read more

Last week, the German newspaper Bild broke a story that was too unsurprising to be much of one. According to Bild, a document seized from a computer used by Hamas strongman Yahya Sinwar summarized Sinwar's strategy for pressuring Israel into a ceasefire deal that would enable Hamas to promptly prepare for the next iteration of Oct. 7.

Last week ended with a split screen featuring savagery on one side and shame on the other. We woke Sunday with news that hours earlier Hamas had taken six hostages they were holding in the tunnels beneath Rafah, each emaciated after 11 months in captivity, and shot them in the head multiple times, all the while BS-ing a gullible world that they ...Read more

If Donald Trump was going to get rid of the "weird" label that Democrats had effectively pasted on him in the days leading up to the Democratic National Convention, the endorsement from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that Trump procured by promising Kennedy a job if he won did not advance the mission. Kennedy, who claims that worms invaded his brain, ...Read more
