Following defeat in the presidential election, Democratic Party leadership is doing much needed soul searching.

Those not in denial know there is something wrong.

Per Gallup, in the 10 months in 2024 prior to the election, January to October, the Democrat partisan advantage -- the percentage identifying as Democrat or lean Democrat minus the...Read more

In January 2022, I wrote my first formal annual Strategic Challenges column -- a quick assessment of what I called "strategic challenges to the post-World War II international order." That column listed four Strategic Challenges (big problems). 2023's essay listed five. 2024's added a sixth.

About a month after I wrote the 2022 column, I ...Read more

Media scream, "Too many people have guns!" Second Amendment activist Maj Toure says more people should carry guns. "Everybody should be walking around," he says, "like, 'Oh man, I left my gun in the house. Let me go back and get it.' It should be as normal as a cellphone." Activists and some politicians want gun control. Toure says, "All ...Read more

Many millions of Americans will be united over the next three weeks while engaging in a profoundly American experience: watching the college football playoffs.

Yet an even more profoundly American experience is not watching football -- but playing it.

This fall, the National Federation of State High School Associations released the results ...Read more

He held an important position -- U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia -- but Matthew Graves has been nearly invisible in the national media over the last four years as a Biden appointee. They didn't seriously cover what he's done, and what he's failed to do.

What he's done is hyperactively prosecute Jan. 6 protesters -- whether violent or...Read more

Many Democrats want to rip off Lady Justice's blindfold. Just look at events in New York City this past month.

In December, an NYC jury found Daniel Penny "not guilty" in the death of Jordan Neely. In May 2023, Neely was in a subway car, threatening passengers. He even screamed, "Someone is going to die today." Penny heroically placed himself...Read more

It is just after 9 p.m. on election night in an oversized suite on the 24th floor of downtown Pittsburgh's Fairmont Hotel. All the couches and cushioned chairs have been placed along the wall and replaced by around a half dozen campaign staffers working at desks, or makeshift desks, watching data start to pour in from across Pennsylvania. In ...Read more

The media have been playing up the "civil war" inside the GOP between what Politico calls the "MAGA Republicans and Big Tech." The restrictionists in the party want fewer visas, and the pro-growth wing wants more.

This past weekend, President-elect Donald Trump announced his support for expanding immigrant worker visas. He told the New York ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- "Decency. Decency. Decency," President Joe Biden responded when a reporter asked him about late President Jimmy Carter's legacy Sunday hours after the former president passed away.

It was a self-serving summation on Biden's part, as the barely-there chief executive seized the moment to trash President-elect Donald Trump.

"Can ...Read more

Trump just announced a lawsuit for "consumer fraud and election interference" versus the Des Moines Register newspaper and pollster Ann Selzer.

Why is this important?

It's HUGE. It's the biggest news of the year. It may be the biggest news of the decade (since Trump came down that escalator at Trump Tower in 2015). Here's why:

First, this ...Read more

For the past few days, certain highly visible elements of the MAGA coalition have been sparring with one another. Specifically, X users have been privy to an extensive immigration policy flame war between two competing MAGA coalition camps: the pro-immigration "tech bros," on the one hand, and the nationalist-populist immigration ...Read more

The week before Christmas in 2006, on the same day I lost my job, doctors gave my wife six months to live. I had to be the one to break the news to her. I sat in her recovery room following a lung biopsy surgery, waited for her to be awake and aware, and told her the doctors discovered she had an aggressive form of cancer that had spread to ...Read more

Joe Biden may still hold the office of President of the United States, but the media are treating him like he's anything but a newsmaker. For much of Biden's presidency, reporters were much more energized to cover the apparent menace of Donald Trump than agitate the officials that were always hiding Biden. Now he seems invisible.

On Dec. 15, ...Read more

Maybe the lesson this Christmas season is that even if turnabout is fair play, at some point, enough is enough.

Start with the specious lawsuits brought against President-elect Donald Trump, to the great glee of many of his "Never Trump" and Democratic detractors. Some of them, especially Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's March 2023 ...Read more

On this Christmas Day, 2024, we in America have much to be grateful for:

For a country where liberty is still valued and where prosperity is still possible.

For our families, friends, loved ones, colleagues and coworkers.

For the kindness of strangers.

For those whose inspiration, talent and craft have provided the stories, books, music, ...Read more

We all know that God works in mysterious ways.

Last weekend, two friends and I were deeply moved when we saw a theatrical production of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." This is the famous and popular tale of the transformation and redemption of Ebenezer Scrooge from a rasping, grasping old miser into a lovable, generous old man who, late ...Read more
