"How dare you say that" isn't a persuasive political argument.

Yet the side that has believed it can bully its way to victory on cultural issues by policing the debate in its favor continues to act as if it is one, even after getting soundly beaten in the election.

The Left's game has been to insist that everyone adopt its tendentious ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Things got a little testy in the White House briefing room Thursday. It was the first daily briefing since Vice President Kamala Harris lost the presidential election, and reporters wanted to know if President Joe Biden takes responsibility for his starring role in Donald Trump's big win on Nov. 5.

The short answer: No.

Let's ...Read more

OK, first things first. I have to take a victory lap. Muhammad Ali said, "It's not bragging if you can back it up." I can back it up.

I was the only TV host in America to stick his neck on the line and boldly predict a Trump electoral landslide AND a popular vote victory.

I also promised this election would be a repeat of Reagan-Carter in 1980...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- Latinos are the pinata of the 2024 presidential election. So what else is new?

I didn't know who was going to win the 2024 presidential election, which seemed too close to call. But I knew two things for sure: Win or lose, Donald Trump was going get at least 40% of the Latino vote. And Latinos were going to get pummeled, ...Read more

In a just world, Donald Trump would have won the Nobel Peace Prize for securing the historic Abraham Accords peace agreements of 2020. So too, in a just world, would A-list Hollywood studios now be bidding for the rights to produce the film adaptation of the single greatest comeback story in American history: Donald Trump, the once and future ...Read more

If the 2024 presidential contest proved anything, it's that the mass media no longer drive the national conversation. They can no longer stoke fear and outrage in average voters. They can no longer prop up terrible candidates. And, like him or not, President-elect Donald Trump's success with black, Hispanic and Jewish voters, if exit polls are ...Read more

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

There was one supervillain in the story of the 2024 campaign that almost surpassed Donald Trump -- Elon Musk.

From the minute he bought Twitter in 2022, the leftists who aspire to complete messaging control were furious. They knew their 2020 jig was up, that they couldn't just suppress damaging stories like the Hunter Biden laptop. Reporters ...Read more

"It isn't a hard choice," we said. On one side was a candidate who would abide by the Constitution and laws of the United States and accept the outcome of elections. On the other was a candidate refusing to accept a 2024 defeat even as memories of his attempted coup in 2020 remain fresh; vowing to punish the "enemy within"; and promising that ...Read more

Here are some observations on what you didn't hear on election night. Most networks' focus was, quite properly, on whether former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris would carry enough of the 93 electoral votes of the seven target states -- Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin -- to ...Read more

It turns out that everyone underestimated how a proposal for mass deportations could bring Americans together.

Donald Trump assembled the biggest, most diverse GOP coalition in decades while running further to the right on immigration, crime and the culture than perhaps any major-party presidential candidate in U.S. history.

Trump inveighed ...Read more

What if you were allowed to vote only because it didn't make a difference? What if no matter how you voted, the elites always got their way? What if the concept of one person/one vote was just a fiction created by the government to induce your compliance?

What if democracy as it has come to exist in America today is dangerous to personal ...Read more

A spiritual depression stalks the United States. It cannot and will not be alleviated by elections.

We have become reptiles with no moral compass.

Our gratifications have become entirely hormonal, not spiritual: cravings for power, money, fame, sex and creature comforts.

Whatever happened to justice?

Whatever happened to self-discipline ...Read more

Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris are surely experiencing disappointment, but one of the Biden-Harris administration's pillars -- "industrial policy" -- won big on Tuesday. That's because it's already been embraced by both parties. President-elect Donald Trump loves expensive tariffs, and Harris loves big subsidies to big businesses, ...Read more

What are some of the most important takeaways from Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election this week? Certainly not what the media are telling you. But there are enduring lessons that this election makes clear:

1. Republicans had a great legal ground game this time. After the 2020 debacle, Republican National Committee co...Read more

WASHINGTON -- What happened?

In June, President Joe Biden fumbled through his one debate with Donald Trump. Then Biden stopped running for reelection and handed the reins to his vice president without a single primary vote in her favor.

Kamala Harris showed that she didn't have the necessary spine when she chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- Oye, Democratic Party, Latinos sent you a message. Did you get it?

Former, and now also future, President Donald Trump has now set the high-water mark when it comes to Latino support for a Republican presidential candidate.

First, some context. The magic number is "40" -- as in 40%. That's the sacred threshold into the Hall of ...Read more

Open borders allow deadly narcotics and criminal gangs to invade our country. But there's a silent killer also making its way across the border: tuberculosis.

America's woke public health authorities are more concerned with equity -- redistributing health resources among racial groups -- than with keeping a disease the U.S. once nearly ...Read more
