A lot of you people sound nuts.

It is unsurprising that a Donald Trump campaign ad featuring the tagline "Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you" was effective in the 2024 presidential campaign. Indeed, a pro-Kamala Harris PAC says the spot, which featured a clip of Harris endorsing state-funded sex-change operations for prisoners,...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.

The greatest moral hazard in American life is politics.

Many of you probably remember 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney being secretly recorded by a Democratic operative telling donors that "47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what" because they are "dependent upon government ... believe that they are victims ......Read more

Though Democrats are endlessly prattling on about "norms" and "democracy," it is often unclear what aspects of the constitutional order they actually support.

At one point during the Sept. 10 presidential debate, former President Donald Trump accused Democrats of not only supporting unlimited third-trimester abortions but the "execution" of babies after birth.

Once Trump wrapped up his rant, Linsey Davis, one of the ABC News moderators, "fact-checked" the former president, helpfully noting that "...Read more

So we've been through an entire debate, and Kamala Harris still hasn't explained any of her extraordinary policy flip-flops.

I'm sorry, a person can't just wake up one morning and abandon their entire worldview without an explanation. I mean, they can try, but no sensible person would take them seriously. Sure, politicians have been calibrating...Read more

In 2019, Vice President Kamala Harris told CNN's Jake Tapper that social media companies "are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation and it has to stop."
