The Democrats' Buts

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

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

The Problemed Nominee

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Fox News host Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense. Hegseth left a well-paid Wall Street job to deploy with the Army National Guard to Guantanamo Bay in 2004, and then to Iraq shortly afterward. He then worked for military nonprofits before joining Fox in 2014.

There are some real problems with ...Read more

Worldview Matters

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

It is a truism that does not get talked about enough, but is innately part of being a conservative, or really a person of any ideological conviction -- worldview matters.

Those of us on the right have long understood this.

If, for example, a person is an atheist who believes there is no eternal judgment, Heaven or Hell, their convictions ...Read more

Dear Democrats

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

It is going to be OK. It really will. You'll have the midterms in two years. There'll be another presidential election in four years. Those of you reading this insisting there will be no more elections are no better than the idiots on my side who think 2020 was stolen and that if Kamala Harris had won, there would be no more elections.

In ...Read more

The Aftermath

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

On the night of the election, a member of the Trump team called me about an hour after polls had begun to close to tell me they saw signs of a win. A few hours later, a friend close to the Harris team called to tell me senior members of the campaign had begun advising senior Democrats they saw no path forward for Kamala Harris. A few hours ...Read more

Garbage In/Garbage Out

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

On Sunday, a comedian opening the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden made a joke about Puerto Rico being a garbage island. On Monday, that was all the American press corps could talk about. On Tuesday, President Joe Biden declared former President Donald Trump's supporters were garbage, and all the media could talk about on Wednesday was ...Read more

A Bold Miscalculation

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

It is possible that former President Donald Trump has peaked too soon. The momentum in the race feels like it has moved in his direction, and we should never underestimate the Republicans' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. However, it does not really seem so much that Trump is increasing in the polls so much as Vice President ...Read more

Where Are the Big Names?

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

With only about 25 days until this damnably necessary act of democracy descends into recriminations and conversations about 2028, Donald Trump is barnstorming across the nation while Kamala Harris sits for interviews designed to generate turnout from her base.

Where are Barack and Michelle Obama? Does democracy not matter? Where is Hillary ...Read more

Caveat Emptor

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

A few days ago, Iran launched approximately 200 ballistic missiles at Israel. Some of Iran's missiles were hypersonic missiles traveling 10,000 miles an hour. Israel, the United States and other allies were mostly able to stop the missiles. A few days before, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Iran was within weeks of producing enough...Read more

Democrats Support Foreign Interference to Stop Trump

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

For eight years now, Democrats have bemoaned interference in American elections. The national security apparatus of the United States has been warning about influence campaigns. The media has done so as well. Editorials and anchors have decried Russian interference.

They are all strangely silent over the latest foreign interference in our ...Read more
