Is it morning in America? Or are we due for another post-9/11-style security state crackdown? Wednesday offered no answers.

If conservatism wants a future, it must cast out Trump and his culture of lies.

If not for the riot, you’d think we just had a coup in the other direction.

Gabe Kaminsky: We need to craft a political future that takes the virtues of the Trump Moment and disposes of the obvious vices. Trump had excellent policies, but his rhetoric and compulsive fabrication of information on Twitter is not for me.

The president is now toxic and Republicans can’t win with him. Yet they also can’t run full-on away from his agenda.

Claes Ryn: It is remarkable that the media have not investigated even the more plausible-looking of the allegations of vote fraud. It did not take me long to realize that the charges were far more serious and credible than the American public had been told.

The most charitable reading of the sleazy saga is that Joe Biden, one of the most powerful men in the world, is an incredibly gullible idiot.

Trump’s most famous political operative returns to Christianity and thinks God has a special purpose for him.

Shaun Cammack: Unconditional love, the kind we certainly ought to practice during the holidays, necessitates a quiet indifference about your loved one’s political ideas. It means that regardless of whether your uncle’s Christmas-themed hat reads MAGA or MALARKY, you’ll love him either way—not in spite of his beliefs—but with no regard for them whatsoever.

The media’s sudden about-face on covering Joe’s son reminds us that this was all about politics.

American Conservative

A substantial number of Americans believe there was systemic election fraud. That isn’t conducive to national unity.

American Conservative

Doubt over the election is widely dismissed as crankery, but skepticism of the media elite narrative is hardly unwarranted.

The Silicon Valley billionaire runs a left-wing philanthropic organization with an interesting corporate structure.

Avril Haines created the legal framework for Obama’s drone policy, as well as legal cover for CIA agents involved in torture.

A pause in the never-ending cycle of higher prices for less will mean that more middle-class people will be able to live in the city again. More neighborhood-oriented businesses will return, and commerce will have less focus on tourism. Life will actually become more enjoyable for long-time New Yorkers, and more affordable. The show will go on, but it will have different characters.

American Conservative

The cosmopolitan elites of the media and academia establishment, like the presupposing college bound teen with seniroritis who has the world all figured out, fail to grasp the blinkered nature of their own world view; in doing so, they fail to comprehend the full complexity of reality itself.

An email from Hunter Biden’s hard drive indicates Chinese investors wanted an introduction from him.

CIA contacts, a web of lies, and a robust propaganda operation. It’s time to start asking questions about Borat’s methods—and his goals.

Biden has promised to confiscate “assault weapons,” which is a scary-sounding name Democrats give to automatic and semiautomatic guns. That includes every rifle that fires more quickly than a blunderbuss and every pistol more advanced than a flintlock. Since most Americans don’t fancy the idea of defending their homes with muskets, stockpiling continues to intensify.

American Conservative

The media will justify much in the name of de-Trumpification, and New York Times columnists are already proposing Orwellian tribunals like a truth and reconciliation commission. In the eyes of our democracy’s self-appointed managers, something happened in 2016 that shouldn’t have. They will work to make sure it doesn’t happen again, and change the rules if they can.

American Conservative

Biden’s potential wrongdoing could provide an opening for Democrats to remove him from office (if elected) and to replace him with Kamala Harris, who would be next-in-line. This is not outside the realm of possibility, as many believe that Biden is merely a conduit for an eventual Harris presidency.

The president is often denounced as a fake ally of the working class, but important data suggest that he’s done right by them.

Twitter and Facebook show their true colors in suppressing story harmful to Joe.

Gwen Kansen: We met in a bar. Elias is a trim, intelligent man about my dad’s size. He seemed quiet, except for his clothes. He wore a jaunty plaid hat and his wool coat reminded me of a Confederate soldier’s. There were anti-PC pins on it.
