Wholly unable to defend their actual record on pressing issues such as stagnating wages, soaring inflation, violent crime and mass illegal immigration, the Biden-Harris regime and its fourth-estate stenographers have deflected by ginning up an astroturfed hysteria over a random old TV clip from vice presidential contender J.D. Vance.

The ...Read more

It's difficult to make substantive arguments against the Democrats' Supreme Court "reform" proposal, since everyone knows it's just a cynical ploy to delegitimize both the court and the Constitution.

Ask yourself this: Would any Democrat support the president's court-packing scheme if they believed Republicans would win both Houses and the ...Read more

We have officially reached that late period in a presidential campaign where the thoroughly leftist national newspapers turn into partisan rags that coo and gush, this time over Vice President Kamala Harris. Consider the July 31 "Style" section of The Washington Post.

It began with a large color photograph of a Harris impersonator on TikTok ...Read more

Monday night's "White Dudes for Harris" Zoom call, with some 90,000 registered to participate, was surely a landmark in political history. Nearly 200 years ago, when the Democratic Party was being formed to elect and reelect Andrew Jackson, the entire American electorate, with exceptions, such as Black New Englanders, property-owning Black New ...Read more

When I worked at the University of Illinois, I had the great good fortune to befriend Ron Yates, who was at the time the dean of the College of Communications (later the College of Media).

Ron is an old-school journalist; he was educated and began his career at a time when the profession was known for serious (sometimes life-threatening) ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Vice President Kamala Harris wants Americans to believe that she is not a progressive. Now that she's heading the Democratic ticket, she's all for securing the border, after all.

For many of us who've known her since the days she served as San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general, that's a tall order. ...Read more

Sometime before he withdrew from the presidential race, President Joe Biden secretly reaffirmed his own self-willed and self-created authority to kill persons in other countries, so long as the CIA and its military counterparts have "near certainty" that the target of the homicide is a member of a terrorist organization. That standard was ...Read more

President Joe Biden is an American hero in his own way.

To be sure, he is no George Washington, Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln. But as late Republican Sen. Roman Hruska observed about the U.S. Supreme Court justices, "We can't have all Brandeises and Frankfurters and Cardozos."

Biden withdrew his reelection bid on July 20 not because he...Read more

Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance has been in the news for an old clip of him talking about how the tax code should punish adults without kids. While Vance's proposal probably aims to address demographic concerns, it represents a misguided approach that contradicts fundamental principles of economic freedom and fairness.

And you...Read more

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed this past week, at the invitation of House Speaker Mike Johnson, a joint session of Congress.

The prime minister's job that night was to make clear to the Congress, to the nation and to the world the "what" and "why" of Israel's operation in Gaza, following the murderous attack by Hamas ...Read more

In July 2014, I wrote a column that included this troubling paragraph: "With a few teeth-clenching exceptions (the Korean War's MiG Alley battles), since 1944, American land, sea and air forces have enjoyed the military and diplomatic benefits of U.S. air superiority. Unfortunately, in 2014 there are strong indications that America's air ...Read more

Monday night, Vice President Kamala Harris boosters launched a "White Dudes for Harris" Zoom rally and fundraiser, rushing to plug a glaring hole in the candidate's support: men.

Former President Donald Trump leads Harris 47 to 39 among male voters nationwide, in the latest Economist/You Gov poll. He's 16 points ahead with male voters in ...Read more

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. won applause at the Libertarian presidential convention by criticizing government lockdowns and deficit spending, and saying America shouldn't police the world. It made me want to interview him. This month, I did. He said intelligent things about America's growing debt: "President Trump said that he was going to balance the...Read more

"She is a San Francisco liberal."

That is how Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas -- who graduated from Harvard and Harvard Law School -- described Vice President Kamala Harris in an interview on CNN last week.

That description of San Francisco may make sense now, but there was a time when it did not.

When President Dwight D. Eisenhower ...Read more

So, Kamala Harris is the new Democratic candidate for president.

And, we've been told, she is incredible.

Not merely serviceable, a middle innings relief pitcher brought in when your starter suddenly implodes in the third inning. She is the Mariano Rivera of politics. She's lights-out. She's charismatic, fascinating, quick on her feet...Read more

It's funny how journalists admit Vice President Kamala Harris is getting a media honeymoon, and then deny it means anything. Ben Smith at Semafor sent an email noting "Republican fury" at the gushy pro-Kamala bias and claiming, "But who are we, and Republicans, kidding? I wish we had that kind of power. The news media can't make and break ...Read more

Donald Trump is the most entertaining man in politics. J.D. Vance may be the most interesting.

During the Republican National Convention, Sen. Vance made his debut on the national political stage. He accepted the vice presidential nomination and shared his rags-to-riches story.

He was raised in the small, poor town of Middletown, Ohio. His ...Read more
