In the fallout of President Donald J. Trump's historic victory, the Democratic Party is in a state of panic. It suffered record-breaking defeats across the country and is still trying to clean up the mess caused by Hillary Clinton, a candidate who explored uncharted depths of political corruption.
President Donald Trump is nearing his 100th day in office. Unlike his predecessor, President Trump doesn't spend much time on the golf course. He's busy issuing executive orders, appointing strong conservatives, bombing Islamist terrorists, and safeguarding our borders.
On Thursday, President Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping — a meeting many observers expected to be tense given the situation in North Korea, as well as each leaders' commitment to strengthening their respective countries' positions in the world. The president and his team are no doubt also aware of China's moves to supplant the U.S. as the leader of innovation and even patent protection. Unfortunately, this ambition coincides with our own actions to weaken patent protection in America.
As the legendary Robert Novak once said, "God put the Republican Party on earth to cut taxes. If they don't do that, they have no useful function."
When it comes to national security, eight years of former President Barack Obama's diplomatically weak approach to dealing with hostile regimes has made America and our allies less safe.
President Donald Trump has spoken to Congress and the nation. He did what Democrats and some Republicans said he could not. He provided Americans with a positive vision and offered realistic solutions with an overriding theme to bring people together to make America great again.
In his first ever address to a joint session of Congress, President Donald Trump took a firm stand on the side of the American people. He said: "We must create a level playing field for American companies and workers… I believe strongly in free trade but it also has to be fair trade." President Trump is right. For too long, foreign countries have taken advantage of American companies and we did little to enforce the protections of these trade deals — which is an integral part of free trade.
For decades, conventional wisdom held that the United States would remain reliant on imported oil as domestic reserves were either too limited or too expensive to be accessible. Yet in the early years of this new century, a small group of American innovators tackled the shale formations in our nation's heartland with new technology. The result rewrote the energy rulebook: vast supplies of domestic crude were produced, rural and industrial communities were reinvigorated, and our country's oil imports were halved.
Republicans agree that Obamacare has failed and must be repealed. But they can't agree on the replacement "plan."
After a stunning win in a change election, President Trump is off to a fast start implementing major change. The president and his administration are moving aggressively to implement pro-growth policies that will boost our economy after years of a sluggish recovery.
"Mainstream." We are having a country-wide civics lesson on who is or is not out of our mainstream: Senate Democrats or the Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch.
For years, Republicans have pushed to improve election integrity. Democrats, aided by the courts, have fiercely resisted efforts to ensure honest elections. But there's no good argument against making sure that everyone who casts a ballot is eligible to do so, and that they cast only one per election.
Donald Trump isn't the first Republican president denounced as "illegitimate." The Left spent eight years refusing to get over George W. Bush's victory in 2000. It was the same issue. He won the election by the rules, but Al Gore had more "popular" votes.
Seven years after the tainted, party-line passage of ObamaCare, Republicans are in position to repeal it. The GOP has pledged a speedy repeal, but remains divided over what to offer as a replacement.
Contrary to the expectations of many people, President-elect Donald Trump has been filling his cabinet with serious, no-nonsense conservatives. The Left will confront appointees who would make Ronald Reagan proud. None may be more important than Jeff Sessions as Attorney General.
This 2016 presidential race was a hard fought campaign. President-elect Donald J. Trump campaigned on a bold and conservative platform of making our cities safe again. After decades of neglect, urban communities across America are in desperate need of repair.
President-elect Donald Trump blamed his loss of the popular vote on election fraud. While that's not likely, it doesn't matter. Vote fraud is a serious problem that can subvert elections. The Trump administration should put electoral integrity at the top of its agenda.
Against the odds, and most pundits' predictions, Donald Trump has been elected president. His opponents prematurely popped champagne corks. He's now making appointments and setting policies.
Not too long ago, Democrats were the ones claiming elections were stolen.
On Nov. 8th, we will choose from two of the least popular presidential candidates in history — our nation is more polarized than ever and there will be major repercussions regardless of who wins. Over the past year, we've seen political discourse turn into a political war. We've watched crises unfold within our communities and watched battles ignite between civilians and police. Lately, it feels as though brother is pitted against brother, and that terrorism, racism, and hatred have infiltrated our society and our lives. But, how did we get here? All of these are symptoms of the real problem — which is that we have lost respect for the dignity of every human life.
