I get tired of Democrats claiming to be on the “right side of history” when both their past and their present are so utterly sordid and destructive. So, if you are a Democrat, let me tell you about MY side of history and YOUR side of history. My side of history is Cato the

To fully understand just how remarkable today’s exchange with Colombia was, you need to understand how Washington DC has traditionally worked through these sorts of issues, and the different way it works now under Trump. I’ll illustrate. Traditional Approach: 1. Colombia

I would like to make a point about the Ukraine/Russia War. I believe it is the most important point. Here it is: Right now, as you are reading this, a Ukrainian or Russian teen was in all likelihood killed in action. Why? For what? Ukraine cannot win this war. What

I was quite literally radicalized by 60 Minutes. I used to be like so many Americans, watching it religiously and trusting it. But then as a young man I watched them do a report on something for which I am an expert. Their reporting was wildly inaccurate and was obviously done

Pray for 60 Minutes. It is the most indispensable news entity we have and it is about to be overseen by someone who thinks we need to give equal weight to people who argue that the earth is flat and to people who argue that the earth is round.

Retired Army colonel here. Three combat tours. 60% disabled per the VA. Spent most of my tactical career in the 82nd Airborne. Please read what I am about to say with the sneering condescension with which I intend it: Mr. Kristol, you are a grifter. Worse, you are a lying

The senior military officers: Their silence was golden. Trump and Hegseth: At once clownish and dangerous.

Hey Donald Trump! Want to win 40+ states? Commit to making all withdrawals from 401ks and IRAs after the age of 62 fully non-taxable. Trust me on this one.

I'm watching Charlie Kirk's memorial service. It finally dawned on my why it is so important that the Left lie about us. Our message is one of peace, love, equality of opportunity, tolerance, inclusion, justice and liberty. It is a message that--when objectively understood--no

So Donald Trump held a huge, wildly successful rally in the Bronx today. That itself is in many ways remarkable, but what I find quite noteworthy is not what happened, but what DID NOT happen. Let me explain. The population in the Bronx is predominantly black and Hispanic.

Tesla is a publicly traded company. When Democrats attack Teslas and Tesla showrooms, they are not attacking Elon Musk. Instead, they are attacking millions of ordinary Americans who hold Tesla stock as part of their retirement accounts. Fascism. Democrats are evil fascists.

OK, I know I'm late to the party on this, but as a photographer I want to comment on Donald Trump's new official photo (below). Three things jump out at me: 1. He looks totally PO'd like he is about to rip your throat out. This expression is clearly intentional and

The most brilliant part of the Tren de Aragua deportation flight is that it forced Democrats to defend and uphold literal narco-terrorists who have murdered Americans and destroyed the neighborhoods of working class voters. I am 100% sure that the Trump team did a careful

I want to set the record straight on tariffs and my POV. Yes, I am currently a part of the laptop class. Yes, my retirement savings have been brutalized in recent days. Yes, I'm very near retirement age. Yet I have not lost sight of my working class roots. Further, like

Here's the thing about Trump. Trump says or does something that antagonizes some group of people who don't like him. Then that group of people say, very spitefully, "OH YEAH???? We'll show him!!!" Then they do exactly what Trump wanted them to do. It happens over and over,
