New 9/11 Memorial Vandal Underscores Left's Deep-Rooted Hatred of America
America's left-wing fringe, which is increasingly indistinguishable from the Democratic Party mainstream, absolutely hates our nation. You'd have to be blind not to see it.
Take the latest example: Jonathan Andrew Tijerina, the punk who just desecrated the 9/11 Memorial Reflecting Pool in downtown Manhattan.
Earlier this week, Tijerina was ...Read more
Isn't This an Attack on Democracy?
In August, Mary Peltola told Alaskans, "It should be a criminal offense to lie or mislead the electorate. YES!" Her campaign might have wanted to check its own text messages before she said it.
According to a New York Times investigation published Wednesday, top Peltola aides in the summer of 2025 told a staffer to find as many people named ...Read more
The Elitist Media Are Terrible Guardians of Democracy
Whenever the elitist media come under attack as "fake news" from President Donald Trump, they pretend that this is a battle between the heroic guardians of democracy and this tragically elected authoritarian. They pretend to represent a Civics 101 definition: the press serves to hold all government actors accountable and gives voters the facts...Read more
Echoes of 1776 in Today's Divisive Politics
It's easy to forget that Americans are voting in a year that marks the 250th anniversary of the nation's Declaration of Independence. You don't hear much about the declaration in the campaign rhetoric, and most people would bristle at the notion that the sublime message of the founding document has much to do with the messy politics of this ...Read more
America's Deadly Addiction to War
America has a deadly addiction to war. Since 1950, presidents of both political parties have sent American troops into conflicts across the globe, killed countless people, sacrificed the lives and limbs of American servicemen and women, and wasted trillions of dollars. Yet these wars have consistently failed to achieve the objectives ...Read more
Trump's Political Miscalculations Could Cost Republicans Both Chambers
A president's influence is not measured only by how many candidates accept his endorsement. It is measured by whether his leadership makes his party stronger. By that measure, Donald Trump's political choices are putting Republican control of the Senate and the House at risk.
The warning signs are visible in Texas, South Carolina and ...Read more
Billionaires Compensate Us Many Times Over. Wealth Taxes Endanger That.
No matter what happens in Tuesday's elections, support for wealth taxes keeps growing. Its justification is based on the idea that the very rich owe all of us something, and taxing their fortunes is collecting on that debt. We're told their success fuels inequality and that it's selfish of them to keep so much, especially if they don't ...Read more
Now Corruption in Brazil Is a 'Conspiracy Theory'
Runoffs in Brazil's presidential elections took place this past Sunday, Oct. 25, and the socialist candidate -- Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva ("Lula") -- won after some procedural funny business. Among other things, Lula's campaign claimed that traffic congestion prevented some voters on city buses from getting to the polls before they closed at 5...Read more
Cal Thomas: Same old, same old
If you live long enough you hear the same promises and accusations repeated ad nauseum by politicians of both parties.
They will make your life better if you vote for them. Is your life better because of a politician? I doubt it. Mine gets worse when they raise my taxes.
Democrats are re-cycling the “filthy rich” vs. the average person who...Read more
The Short, Curious Ceasefire in Occupied Ukraine
Can looming foul weather encourage a ceasefire, specifically the curious local ceasefire in the war-devastated Ukraine Donbas town of Oleshky? Or is the Oleshky back-channel diplomacy an indication that exhausted warring parties want an end to combat?
My first reaction to the short ceasefire: A humanitarian pause in combat -- especially a ...Read more
The Real 'Dr. El-Sayed' in His Own Words
"I love America," Michigan's U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed insists. Saturday, he rallied a crowd in Detroit, interjecting "y'all" frequently as he spoke, putting on an African American accent to suit his audience.
All pols claim to love America, but when El-Sayed says it, he's lying. And that's only one of his lies.
His long paper ...Read more
S.E. Cupp: Trump doesn’t care about the midterms. You should
Despite how ubiquitous, prolix, and attention-seeking as he is, sometimes it’s still hard to know what makes President Trump do the things he does.
Why, for example, is he so fixated on “acquiring” politics/fromtheright/secupp/s-4332709">Read more
Democrats' Embrace of Socialism Portends Chaos and Decline
As Americans see chaos and rioting on the streets of Paris, we are not immune to that happening on streets across America.
For decades, France has provided "free" healthcare, paid family leave, free childcare, free preschool, generous unemployment and housing benefits and heavily subsidized higher education. This has bred a culture of ...Read more
Social (In)Security
"We will always protect Social Security, Medicare!" says President Donald Trump.
That would be nice.
But when I look at these programs' balance sheets, I don't see how he's protected anything. Both Social Security and Medicare are on track to run out of money.
Politicians mostly ignore the problem. Worse, progressives like Sen. Bernie ...Read more
What Democrats Would Do to America
Seven years ago, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who is now the Democratic leader in the House of Representatives, signed on as cosponsor to a bill that would have prohibited preventing biological males from using women's restrooms and locker rooms.
Titled the "Equality Act," it stated that "an individual shall not be denied access to a shared...Read more
Pretending the Justice Department Was Never Partisan Under Democrats
The most obnoxious lie that erupts routinely in the "independent media" is that Trump's Department of Justice is weaponized in a way that no Democrat has ever contemplated. It's like they all observed everything that the Biden Justice Department did to put Trump and his allies in jail and considered it to be the most nonpartisan thing ...Read more
The real reason Trump’s Russia peace talks are spooking Europeans
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Europe is crashing out over Trump’s talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin – largely because of a dirty little secret about who’s really been paying for their Ukrainian largesse: Russia.
Western nations found a way to make Russia pay for both sides of the war back in 2022 under former U.S. President ...Read more
The House Is Restless. It Has Been Before.
PITTSBURGH -- In April 1894, a ragged column of unemployed men attempted to come through Pittsburgh on the way to Washington. They called themselves Coxey's Army. It was a protest march of jobless workers led by Jacob Coxey, an Ohio businessman, and they were marching on the Capitol. The country was in the second year of a four-year depression...Read more
Gas Attack -- Blue States Have the Highest Prices at the Pump
Democrats can't seem to decide whether they want higher or lower gas prices. On the one hand, they're promising that if they win a majority in Congress, they will work to bring down prices at the pump. On the other hand, they can't bring down prices in their own blue states.
We at Unleash Prosperity recently analyzed gas and diesel prices in ...Read more
Cal Thomas: Fill ’er up and pass the loan application
SAN FRANCISCO – If media interviews with voters are to be believed, some people – perhaps many – will cast their midterm votes based on the high price of gasoline.
It’s one thing to read about high California gas prices, it’s another to fill up my 20-gallon rental car with regular gas costing more than $6 at most stations. The cost of...Read more
