Biden’s people hate when you can make a choice
Biden’s people hate when you can make a choice: Not enough people are choosing to switch out their appliances to please the green pushers, so the Biden administration, without going through Congress, dictatorially takes away freedom of choice.

Happy New Year, Anyway
Happy New Year, Anyway: I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year even though, as 2023 draws to a close, it seems that “the whole world is festering in unhappy souls,” to quote the brilliant Tom Lehrer. I know at times it seems unlikely that 2024 will be better than this one has been, but there are some reasons for optimism. I credit independent journalism, Elon Musk with his fight for free speech on the internet, and the truism that eventually reality bites for my belief that the West may be wising up to the toxic mix of Islamism, traditional anti-Semitism, and Communism. Domestically, I credit the brilliant U.S. Constitution and the good sense of our citizens for my optimism.
The Corruption of Everything
The Corruption of Everything: As we survey the American landscape, we cannot help but notice that just about everything has been corrupted by the left. The justice system has been corrupted by partisan politics to the point where Republicans and conservatives are persecuted and prosecuted at a level far higher than anyone else.

So Trump is Really Hitler?
So Trump is Really Hitler?: Donald Trump is often compared to Hitler by otherwise normal people. If they go beyond a simple assertion of similarity the fearful ones do not compare the actions and experiences of the two, but rather they take their worst imaginings of what Trump ...

Federal bureaucrats fixing to receive a ‘historic’ raise
Federal bureaucrats fixing to receive a ‘historic’ raise: The media’s operatives reliably remind us that the Biden administration is doing a great job on tackling inflation; so why are they giving federal bureaucrats such a big raise? From a report out at Townhall yesterday:

Trump – A comprehensive university curriculum
Trump – A comprehensive university curriculum: Weekend New York City WABC talk radio listeners had the timely good fortune of hearing "The Larry Kudlow Show" Saturday, December 23. The contrast between Trump and Biden was emphasized during a discussion about Biden groveling to Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador in an under-the-radar-maneuver to get Mexico to prevent trespassers from entering The United States -- Por favor. Kudlow’s guest, WOR talk show host Mark Simone, described Trump’s ability to negotiate as always finding leverage over the opposition. Trump has perfected a classic Carrot and Stick style of making bold threats while also finding incentives for the other guy. Trump’s talent for finding leverage, communicating consequences, and still establishing rapport comes from his unique ability to conceive of positive outcomes in the first place.

The Songs of Christmas
The Songs of Christmas: While the left continues its attempts to eradicate the word “Christmas” if not the celebration itself, it has yet to make a dent in Yuletide songs, if radio airplay is any indication. Perhaps where you live there is at least one rad...

This Silence Is Not Golden
This Silence Is Not Golden Jeffrey Tucker: The silence is not golden. It’s dangerous. It is even treacherous. The Covid response ruined everything the world identified with America: freedom, rights, decentralism, commerce, individual liberty, and bravery in the face of trial. Governments together with all the commanding heights betrayed all those values. We need to know why. We need to know how. We need to know who. The silence could mean there is more to come. Which is to say that silence equals death.

Will Partisan Lawfare Destroy Trump?
Will Partisan Lawfare Destroy Trump?
