President Trump’s Considerable Achievements
The following ought to convince you if you don't wear a pussyhat or suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Daniel McCarthy: He won states in 2016 that had been out of reach for Republican presidential candidates for 25 years or more: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin. For all that the people who now criticize Trump had talked about…

Don’t Get Fooled Again
A little ditty from The Who to stiffen the spines of Republicans and inspire them in their stand against the filthy, mendacious Dems. Politics is war, and if you don't have it in you to fight, then get off the battlefield. Too long have you believed that politics is gentlemanly conversation, even while absorbing blow…

Trump the ‘Trigger’
Trump's shoot-from-the-hip style forces leftists to show their true colors while keeping them in a state of impotent frenzy. That can't be bad, can it? Robert de Niro, Italian hothead and HollyWeird liberal, loses it 'bigly' over Trump in his latest outburst, wherein he calls Trump in public a "fucking idiot" and a "fucking fool" and…

Sanctimonious ‘Liberal’ Hypocrisy, Death to PC, and the Destruction of Obama’s ‘Legacy’
El Rushbo explains, in his inimitable style, the appeal of Trump to his base. The (intellectually) attractive Myron Magnet details how Trump spells death to political correctness drawing on recent columns by Peggy Noonan, Shelby Steele, and Andrew Klavan. The preternaturally prolific Victor Davis Hanson relates how "Trump is commonsensically undoing, piece by piece, the…

Trump Speaks the Truth and Snowflakes Melt
Here: Is there any question Haiti is a s***hole? Who’s offended by that? If it wasn’t a s***hole it wouldn’t be one of the most prominent recipients of American charity aid on Planet Earth. And it isn’t like this country has ignored Haiti — we’ve been trying to lift it out of s***hole status for…

Trump’s Top Ten 2017 Achievements
Those of us who rolled the dice for Trump have been vindicated in spades. If you are in the mood for a rather more thorough treatment of the underlying issues, see my Philosophical Aspects of the Trump-Clinton Contest over at Rightly Considered.

A Jacksonian Manifesto
Victor Davis Hanson explains the Trump administration's first national security strategy. The theme of the Trump document is American restoration. In Reaganesque fashion, the administration sees itself as similarly overturning an era of strategic stagnation, analogous to the self-doubt, self-imposed sense of decline, and thematic malaise of the Carter era. Instead, the “strategic confidence” and…

The Sad State of Public Discourse in an Age of Ideology
The inability to follow an argument and respond reasonably and civilly to what an author actually maintains is a mark of the present miserable state of public discourse. Even prominent conservative commentators display this inability. A recent example is the Never-Trumper and NRO contributor David French's febrile flailing at Tully Borland. Professor Borland ignited a…

Trump’s Pensacola Speech
That was a great speech last night. I enjoyed every word of it. I share Judge Jeanine's enthusiasm. "But how can you of all people, someone who is always going on about how language matters and who rails regularly against its misuse, stomach Trump's exaggerations and falsehoods? He self-servingly claimed, for example, that he beat…

The Picture Says it All
And this miserable flake had the chutzpah to steal Barry Goldwater's title, "Conscience of a Conservative"? A paltry 100 semolians? The good news is that Flake is history and Milque-Toast McCain will soon be as well. No, I don't want the latter dead; I want him and his obstructionism out of the Senate. The UT…

Trump’s Alleged Insanity
Liberals playing the 'mental' card is nothing new. You may recall the Johnson campaign's smearing of Barry Goldwater with "In your guts you know he's nuts." That was in 1964. So forgive me for not being impressed when sufferers from Trump Derangement Syndrome pronounce Donald Trump unfit for office on the ground of insanity. Just…

Why Do We Support Trump? He Fights!
Evan Sayet explains: My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.” Here’s my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a…
