President Trump, Hit the Policy Ground Running
Incoming presidential administrations tend to enter the White House treading modestly, and understandably so.
After contentious election races, administrations often staffed by inexperienced personnel from outside of Washington, D.C., seek to find their legs and integrate peacefully in order to establish comity that they hope can prove… |

Thank God for the Electoral College
It seems that as more and more time goes by, my appreciation for the ingeniousness of our Founding Fathers elevates.
I write this before knowing the outcome of the election. I sit behind a "veil of ignorance," with no advance knowledge of who will win the popular vote and who will win in the Electoral College.
We have a growing movement… |

Biden/Harris DOJ and FTC Leaks Sabotage Disfavored U.S. Companies
The presidential election remains closely balanced, but apparently the Biden/Harris administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) aren’t taking any chances now that the window of opportunity to sabotage American businesses that they disfavor is shutting.
Amid a growing cavalcade of Biden/Harris… |

Which Nations Are the Freest, and Why Should We Care?
The ability to choose your job, start a business, own property or decide how to spend your paycheck may seem natural to most Americans. Yet for billions around the world, the most basic economic freedoms remain out of reach. The latest Economic Freedom of the World index, just released by the Fraser Institute, reminds us why freedom matters for everyone… |

Republican Irrational Exuberance?
You can feel it – Republican confidence in victory is growing. Many in the GOP, from elected officials to pundits on the social platform X, believe former President Donald Trump is headed to victory, perhaps even a big victory, on Nov. 5. For weeks, Vice President Kamala Harris' lead in national polls has been shrinking, a little bit… |

Dead Wrong Again – Nobel Economists Put Partisanship Over Economic Common Sense
You may have heard that last week 24 Nobel economists wrote that Vice President Kamala Harris' economic plan would be better for America than the Trump agenda. The joint letter was spearheaded by the hyperpolitical Joseph Stiglitz. Yes, the same Joe Stiglitz who infamously flew to Caracas to endorse Hugo Chavez's economic policies in 2007.
The letter… |

FBI Crime Rate Error Erodes Trust in Government
Americans’ faith in the federal government remains historically low, partly because we simply can’t trust what it tells us.
That undermines the political left’s arrogant top-down model of micromanagement of our everyday lives by “expert” administrative state bureaucrats, since that model assumes that the data… |

As Attacks Intensify, Trump Becomes More Popular
It's hard to measure the intensity of negative media coverage of former President Donald Trump, but it's safe to say it's rising as Election Day approaches. What's interesting to note is that in the face of unrelentingly negative coverage – at a high level now, but negative for a long time – the public views Trump more… |

New York's Path to Recovery
The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America is nominating Zohran Mamdani for mayor, declaring that "it's time for us to get to work to replace our corrupt, autocratic mayor with a proven socialist." And Israel hater.
As Mayor Eric Adams' legal woes mount, ambitious politicians and far-left forces smell blood. Mamdani… |

Will Minorities Vote Their Pocketbooks? Trump Should Hope So!
In the one debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the vice president attacked Trump for having a racist record, citing his statements in response to the protests In Charlottesville back in 2017.
My intention here is not to defend Trump on some of the things he says about race – which can be interpreted by some as offensive.… |

Why Can't Kamala Answer a Simple Question?
A few months into Kamala Harris's 2024 presidential run, her handlers faced a dilemma. Should they continue cocooning the candidate or unleash her on the public? Both options came with serious political risks.
Sure, Democrats could keep pretending Harris was a generational talent, but her refusal to sit down for an interview, much less give a press… |

A Shift in the Race
A few days ago, there was a report that the Harris campaign is in trouble and the Trump campaign is "extremely bullish" on former President Donald Trump's chances to win the presidency. The reporter, former ABC News journalist Mark Halperin, said his account is based on "robust private polling" and talks with sources on both sides… |

America's Bipartisan Spending Suicide Pact
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… |

Final Biden/Harris Deficit Rises Again to $1.83 Trillion
With stupefying regularity, Joe Biden subjects Americans to his demonstrably preposterous claim that he’s some sort of deficit disciplinarian.
You won’t hear this from the White House with November’s election just one month away and Kamala Harris’s electoral prospects weakening by the day, but the federal government… |

When Kamala Harris's Promises Come to Nothing
The fundamental problem with Kamala Harris' campaign promises is that she has served as vice president of the United States for nearly four years. All those things she is out on the campaign trail pledging to do – well, what has she been doing since Jan. 20, 2021? "She just started by saying she's going to do this, she's going… |

Free Speech in the Crosshairs
The most consequential issue on the ballot this November is the fate of free speech: your ability to speak your mind.
At former President Donald Trump's campaign rally Saturday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk leaped on the stage and urged the nation to support Trump as the free speech candidate. It's "the bedrock of democracy," Musk said, warning that… |

Don't Nuke the Senate Filibuster!
Why is it that the politicians keep referring to America as a "democracy"? How many times have we heard that former President Donald Trump is "threat to democracy"?
Well, yes, we are a democracy. We vote in and out of office our politicians.
But more importantly, we are a republic. This is basic civics: Our forefathers set up… |

Can We All Get Along? Yes, By Letting the States Decide.
At the time of this writing, the outcome of the presidential race is pretty close to being a coin flip. So what I write is not in any way influenced by who will win in November, since that is unknowable.
What is a virtual certainty is that on Nov. 6 roughly half the country will be full of joy, and the other half will be in a deep depression likely… |

Homelessness, U.S. Divisiveness Reach New Record Highs Under Biden/Harris
Americans now possess two new metrics by which the Biden/Harris administration quantifiably ranks as the worst in American history.
As November’s election date approaches, the administration and the Harris campaign desperately seek to convince Americans that they’re somehow better off now than they were four years ago. … |

Is Washington Distorting the Numbers?
We all know that math scores have been scandalously trending downward for many years, but the folks in the government should at least be able to count.
We're finding more and more evidence that the statistics the government is releasing to the public are increasingly suspect and unreliable. It seems like the errors are not random but perhaps manipulated… |

Reparations: Unconstitutional and Divisive – Is Kamala Harris Backing These Giveaways?
New York's City Council voted Thursday to launch a reparations task force, which could lead to calls for billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded payouts to compensate for the impact of slavery and past injustices.
Gotham joins dozens of municipalities, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Evanston, Illinois, as well as three states – California… |

A Kamala Harris Crowd: Big and Happy
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania – In the days before Vice President Kamala Harris came here, on Friday the 13th, some Trump supporters in this northeastern Pennsylvania town speculated that she would have trouble attracting a big crowd to her rally. Even when attendees began to show up, the detractors said the number was small and perhaps… |

Explain Yourself, Kamala Harris!
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 and… |

Key State Polls: Another Mess in the Making?
Who is leading the presidential race in the seven states considered most critical to victory in 2024: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada?
The answer is we don't really know. If you look at the RealClearPolitics average of state polls, you'll see that Pennsylvania is exactly tied between Vice President… |

Blocking the U.S. Steel Deal: Biden’s Irresponsible Gamble with American Jobs and Global Competitiveness
President Joe Biden’s shortsighted plan to block the sale of U.S. Steel to Japan’s Nippon Steel puts politics above the long-term interests of steel workers, Pennsylvanians and United States national interest. By opposing the $14.9 billion acquisition, the Biden administration also risks straining our important relationship with Japan… |

Kamala Harris's Banana Republic on Free Speech
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."
Does it?
Every two-bit authoritarian in history has justified censoring its citizens as a way of protecting them from the menace… |

Kamala Harris, Donald Trump and Arlington Cemetery
It looks like the fight between the Harris and Trump campaigns over Donald Trump's appearance at Arlington National Cemetery is intensifying, not diminishing. Kamala Harris herself posted a statement on X using Trump's visit to mark the third anniversary of the Abbey Gate attack as an opportunity to revive the "suckers and losers" slur against… |

The Biggest Issue in This Election
Free speech is under attack across the globe. Last week, a Brazilian judge shut down X for refusing to obey government censorship demands, France arrested Pavel Durov, CEO of the unregulated app Telegram, and a Hong Kong court convicted two journalists of sedition for publishing material critical of the government.
The U.S. is the next front in the… |

Goodbye, JFK Democrats
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s exit from the Democratic Party (or was he booted out?) is only the latest sign that there are no more JFK Democrats left in positions of power in the Democratic Party.
President John F. Kennedy was a staunch anti-communist who fought against union and government corruption. He was a pro-life Catholic. He was laser-focused… |
