A Trumpian Headache
President Donald Trump's use of the U.S. military to kill persons on speed boats in international waters, or in territorial waters claimed by other sovereign nations -- all 1,500 miles from the U.S. -- has posed grave issues of due process. The Constitution's guarantee of due process requires it for every person, not just Americans. The ...Read more
Could Amazon Doom the US?
Amazon Web Services is the backbone of much of the economy and the government. AWS is a cloud computing platform that enables companies to do a number of things, such as store data and increase their computing power.
Today, AWS underpins a significant portion of global internet infrastructure. Over 90% of Fortune 100 companies use AWS ...Read more
Some 'No Kings' Protesters Don't Like Capitalism, but Are Republicans Practicing It?
When House Speaker Mike Johnson lashed out at last weekend's "No Kings" rallies soon to arrive on Washington's National Mall, he reached for an old conservative refrain: "They hate capitalism. They hate our free enterprise system."
I am sure he's correct about some of the protesters. But the message rings hollow coming from a party leader ...Read more

Cal Thomas: Lessons from history
People who are protesting and complaining that President Trump is behaving like a dictator apparently skipped history classes or took them at liberal universities where professors have re-written the subject to conform to their worldview.
Someone who is doing what history teachers used to do may surprise you. He is politics/fromtheright/calthomas/s-3895316">Read more
Pentagon Muscle Confronts China's Proxy Venezuela
On Oct. 21, news sources reported roughly 15% of the entire U.S. Navy's warships were deployed in the Caribbean Sea. The exact type and number of warships was not revealed. Still, the fleet and aircraft deployed off South America had muy macho offensive and defensive firepower, enough to support a major air campaign and possibly an ...Read more
The Normie Revolution
Three weeks ago, The New York Times released a poll of Americans on the question of whether America's political system could still solve the nation's problems. The overwhelming response: no. In September 2020, 51% of Americans believed that America's system could still address America's problems; by September 2025, that number had declined to ...Read more

Trump’s Excesses Enrich Only Him, Not Americans
The White House is full of so much rich history and tradition — it helps tell the story of America itself. And it’s an incredibly impressive and intimidating venue for facilitating international diplomacy.
As Michael Douglas’ President Andrew Shepherd says in “The American President,” “The White House is the single greatest home ...Read more
Democrats Prioritize Welfare Over National Security
Few speak the truth as clearly and succinctly as House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Appearing on ABC's "This Week" last Sunday, co-host Jonathan Karl challenged the speaker's calling the recent No King rallies "Hate America Rallies," calling them "the modern Democratic Party."
Johnson responded that "there is a rise of Marxism in the Democratic ...Read more
How Albany Can Stop Mamdani
If Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor and implements the changes he is promising, expect the city's financial condition and public safety to deteriorate rapidly. Think criminal bedlam, antisemitic rioters allowed full rein, and cutbacks to basic city services.
In such a crisis, desperate New Yorkers will look to Albany, where the governor has ...Read more
Bizarrely Democrats Have Become Free Speech Advocates!
The Constitution's First Amendment protects free speech for good reason. If people can't say what they want, we don't have honest debate. I was relieved when Donald Trump, campaigning for the presidency, said, "If we don't have free speech, then we just don't have a free country!" Good for him. Free speech is crucial to freedom. Democrats, by ...Read more
Gavin Newsom's Gruesome Laws
When Notre Dame des Victoires Catholic school celebrated its 100th anniversary last year, a famous former student taped a video presentation in honor of that moment. This was California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
In a press release about its anniversary, the school said: "Located in the heart of downtown San Francisco, NDV remains dedicated to its ...Read more
Networks Pour Out Positive Publicity on 'No Kings' Protests!
One of the more tiresome mantras of leftist media coverage is Trump allegedly paging through his "authoritarian playbook." The media have their own protest playbook, as you could tell when leftists organized another mass protest titled "No Kings," as if we've ever had a king.
The network newscasts slobbered all over this Saturday event, using ...Read more
The Unconscionable Loss of Conscience for Virginia Democrats
"The stakes couldn't be higher," Jay Jones, the Virginia Democrat running for state attorney general, said Monday in an X post. It was an ironic post, coming 10 days after National Review reported numerous violent text messages Jones sent to a colleague in the legislature about a Republican lawmaker. Jones fantasized about urinating on the ...Read more
To Lower Health Costs, Legalize Catastrophic Health Insurance Plans for All
The following column is coauthored by Stephen Moore and David M. Simon.
The government shutdown has focused debate on the vast sum ($136 billion in 2025, as projected by the Congressional Budget Office) that the federal government spends to annually subsize continually skyrocketing Obamacare health insurance premiums. The Wall Street Journal ...Read more

Your essential guide to how Trump will handle literally any foreign crisis
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Every American president has a foreign policy doctrine. But no president has ever had one quite like Donald Trump’s.
With President George W. Bush, it was to invade resource-rich countries under the pretext that there are terrorists there, preferably preemptively. Bomb them to spread freedom and democracy, but ...Read more
Trump's Middle East Triumph Embarrassed the Self-Proclaimed Experts
A New York real estate developer and TV star just outsmarted America's highly credentialed foreign policy establishment.
Hamas recently returned its last 20 living hostages to Israel. That was part of a stunning Gaza peace plan announced earlier by President Donald Trump. Israel and Hamas both agreed to it. Hamas signed on even though it hadn...Read more

No Kings? No Clue...
What do you do when voters have rejected your party’s policies and the losers have nothing new to offer?
Answer: You stage large demonstrations that include name calling (this from Democrats who have called for “lowering” the rhetorical temperature). Anyone who believes last Saturday’s “No Kings” (was that poll tested?) ...Read more
The Rare-Earths Travesty
In the 1960s, the conservative intellectual James Burnham wrote a book arguing that the decline of Western civilization was a self-imposed choice.
The volume, famously called "Suicide of the West," desperately needs to be updated with an epilogue about the U.S. dependence on China for the mining and processing of rare earths, which ranks as ...Read more

This Mayoral Debate Was Anything But Decisive
It’s a generous tip. It’s the stage name of a Tanzanian musician. It’s the increase in U.S. retail coffee prices in the last year.
It’s also the portion of New York City’s registered voters who turned out for the mayoral Democratic primary back in June.
That’s right — just more than a million New Yorkers voted in the primary in ...Read more
Democrats Still Haven't Learned Any Lessons
On Thursday, Senate Democrats voted for the 10th time to prolong the federal government shutdown. They also voted against funding the military, thereby necessitating that the Pentagon initiate some innovative accounting in order to ensure service members are paid on time.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) defended his caucus's ...Read more
