Leaving a Legacy
The more things change, the more they stay the same. That old saying came to mind the other day as I read the following paragraph: “The onrushing press of issues, combined with big government’s intrusion in so many new areas, means that the Washington participant seldom has an opportunity to take a step back in calm reflection. Instead, events rush at him — and sometimes over him.”

‘Fact-Checkers’ Find Democrats Are Truth Tellers
One reason many Americans don’t trust those “fact-checker” websites is because to know them is to see right through their incessantly liberal worldview.
The Defining Moment
There will be many defining moments in the presidential campaign over the next 17 months, but there was a big one during the second round of Democrat debates Thursday night.
Pausing to Ask, ‘Who Are We? What Are We Doing?’
There are two news stories in the last week or so that should alarm and rally us.
My Sister, My Uncle and Trump
They loved him and were sure he’d win. I couldn’t share their jolliness, but I respected their rebellion.
Faithless Electors Who Break Their Promise Rightly Can Be Punished
Long before discussions of impeachment became commonplace, a means of denying President-elect Donald Trump the White House was floated and circulated among liberal groups.
San Francisco School Board to Destroy Historic Mural of George Washington
On March 20, 1939, the Nazis set fire to thousands of paintings and sculptures in Berlin. Countless prints and watercolors and drawings deemed to be “degenerate” were destroyed in the courtyard of the city’s fire department. The heinous atrocities committed against artists on that day have been lost in the mists of time, overshadowed by the unspeakable book burnings of May 10, 1933.
Jackass Ideas of the Jackass Party
Of all the cockeyed notions promulgated by the Democrats, and there are scores of them, perhaps the most appalling is the one that calls for people who never owned slaves or mistreated blacks paying extortion to black people who not only never picked cotton but never knew anyone who had.

The Debates’ Biggest Losers? American Taxpayers
Sen. Kamala Harris of California may have been the breakout winner of this week’s Democratic presidential debates, but there was one clear loser: the American taxpayer.
The Democrats’ Debate Could Have Been Worse
Expectations could not have been lower going into round one of the Democrat Party’s ridiculously overcrowded presidential debate in Miami.
Why the Supreme Court Got It Right on Gerrymandering
In a much-awaited decision, the Supreme Court held on Thursday in a 5-4 decision that partisan gerrymandering is a political question beyond the reach of the federal courts.
The Buttigieg Illusion
It would tax even the prodigious powers of the late novelist Tom Wolfe to create a more poignant political scene than a bright, young, white mayor of a small city, who is an upstart presidential candidate and progressive darling, getting yelled at by black residents during a town hall.
Round One
It has been said that illegal immigrants do the work Americans won’t do. I disagree. But I watched the Democrat debate Wednesday night because I bet most of you didn’t want to. You’re welcome.
The Lemon Is Squeezed Dry
There’s something attractive in the party names in the Supreme Court’s decision on the relationship between government and religion: American Legion v. American Humanist Association. Both organizations, the veterans group formed after World War I and the secular humanist group founded the year this nation entered World War II, want to tell you how American they are.
Bernie’s #CancelStudentDebt Is a Dangerous Scam
This week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed that it was “literally easier” for her to win the congressional election than pay off her student loan debt — which says something unfortunate about both the cost of college and the electorate’s choices.
A World Vision of Freedom
If there’s one word Secretary of State Mike Pompeo would use to describe the abuses against men and women of faith, it’s “chilling.”
Making America Great — For All Americans
I know I’m not the only Trump supporter who is tired of progressives maliciously accusing President Trump and his supporters of racism. They’ve used the slander against conservatives for years, and it has only intensified in the Trump era.
Maybe Try Winning
On Thursday, the United States Supreme Court ruled that partisan gerrymandering is a non-justiciable issue, meaning courts have no role to play in politics.
I’m Calling It Now — Donald J. Trump Will Be Reelected in a Landslide
After watching Round One of the Democratic presidential debates, I’m going to go ahead and call the 2020 election. President Trump is going to be reelected in a landslide.

Trump Should Act Quickly to Secure 2020 Census Question in Light of Court Ruling
The Supreme Court’s Thursday decision relating to the 2020 census split a baby that should have remained whole.
