Intellectual populists like J.D. Vance can’t be written off as demagogues playing to the hatreds of ignorant masses. They can argue effectively against establishment policies that have brought disaster to everyday Americans and eviscerate the entrenched D.C. bureaucracy on a constitutional basis.

Florida Is Blazing a New Trail for the Republican Party
The future of the Republican Party is not hard to find. National Republicans need to simply let Florida and its transformational governor show them the way.
Toxic Femininity Is Costing Republicans Elections
If Republicans want any chance of winning future elections, they must engage in the culture wars head-on. And that means engaging the women of this country to embrace traditional womanhood and to reject toxic feminism. We need to build up families, build up communities, and rely on one another rather than the government.
“Candidate Quality” Doesn’t Explain the Failed Red Wave
The outcome of this election cycle, like the last, was determined by early voting (now forever described as any ballot cast before a debate that includes John Fetterman) and mail-in ballots — the kind co-chairs Jimmy Carter and James Baker III cautioned against in the 2005 “Building Confidence in U.S. Elections” report.
GOP Hopes Dashed on the Rocks
Republicans under-performed across the country Tuesday, with Donald Trump-endorsed nominees losing or trailing in swing districts and Senate and gubernatorial races.
Make Washington, D.C., Irrelevant Again
Sheriffs and other local officials provide the antidote to Washington’s faceless bureaucrats, bought-and-paid-for politicians, and the constant stream of arbitrary laws and mandates.
Children Need to Be More Fatphobic, Not Less
No matter their size, children deserve to be loved and taught the truth — including the truth that while being overweight doesn’t take away your human dignity, it is objectively unhealthy.
Climate Extremism Is Making America Mentally Ill
We do not have a climate “crisis.” We have a climate fear-mongering and cancel-culture crisis. The solution to the climate drug and mental health crisis is not to “fix” grotesquely exaggerated climate problems. It is to end the indoctrination and censorship that dominate discussions about climate change, from kindergarten through graduate school.
The Left Finally Turns on the Jan. 6 Committee’s Show “Trial”
All is not well for The Committee. Saturday Night Live, in a rare feat of real, meaningful humor, lampooned the January 6th Committee and its comical Congressional members this past weekend. If you lose SNL, since they will cover for 99% of liberal misdeeds, then you lose your media cover. It is like being in a ground war with no air cover.
The Left Is Transing Kids in MAGA Country
Conservative parents might think that their rural communities are safe from this ideology. But these issues are no longer limited to far-left San Francisco – they are rapidly invading so-called ‘fly over country’ and will come to your town sooner rather than later.
Dem “Moderates” in Name Only Are Running for Key Offices
While most Republicans proudly run for office as conservatives and then govern that way, Democrats typically conceal their liberal beliefs and pose as “moderates” and “centrists.” Once elected, they swing Left and startle voters who sign up for compassion and get stuck with socialism.
Corporate America Is Learning the Hard Way — Go Woke, Go Broke
Environment, social and governance, ESG pushes companies toward a woke vision of the business world. No longer is your company judged by the quality of its product and the behavior of its employees, but rather how many people of color have high-ranking positions. How many women are managers. How many LGBTQ members work on the C-Suite.
The Political Future of Ron DeSantis Isn’t Set in Stone
For many watching the 2024 presidential race some think he’s maybe peaked too early.
The Stars Will Align for Republicans in November
The Republicans have a decided advantage with respect to issues; the issues that voters consider most important — the economy, crime, border security — are the same issues on which they most trust Republicans and are most skeptical of Team Biden.
This Is Not Your Father’s FBI
As the public has repeatedly witnessed in recent years, and not just since Biden’s swearing-in nearly two years ago, over-the-top exhibition of firepower in arrests of high-profile or controversial individuals, has become an accepted if not normal FBI practice. Just ask Roger Stone, whose pre-dawn arrest in early 2019, was carried out by a team of heavily armed FBI special agents in military garb.
This Dem’s November Victory Would Be Bad News for Pennsylvania
From banning fracking to destroying small businesses, Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman’s economic policies would be a disaster for the Keystone State.
Dems’ November Nightmare Could Finally Be Coming True
Despite what you may have read or heard, the Republicans running in this cycle have an advantage that may, at this point, be dispositive. A recent batch of polling has made it clear that the issues voters consider most important are the same issues on which they most trust Republicans.
Conservatives Can End Coercive Vaccine Mandates for Good
Those of us on the right recognize the centrality of liberty as the bedrock ideal of the American polity. But whose liberty? The liberty of Google or Meta to make medical decisions for its employees? Or the liberty of workers to put food on their table while keeping their medical decisions between themselves and their doctor?
Biden’s Spending Spree Has Supercharged Washington’s Power
When huge swaths of the country were forced to shut down in response to Covid-19, Americans realized the power politicians and bureaucrats can wield to reshape society. Sadly, today there are many in government who have no interest in relinquishing that type of command and control over the lives of the American people.
The Left’s Effort to Reshape Arizona’s Election Laws Has Failed
Another left-wing attempt to rewrite election rules has gone down in flames. This time, liberals attempted to put a measure on the November ballot to gut election safeguards and skew voting rules in the influential swing state.
Dems Handed Republicans Giant Gift Ahead of Midterms
The deviously dubbed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and a worthy-but-failed amendment to it, supply the GOP a pair of tailor-made issues to hurl at tax-loving, tax-hiking, tax-collecting Democrats. Republican nominees should deploy them at once.
Dems’ Road to EV Utopia Is About to Get a Whole Lot Bumpier
The raw materials essential to the EV transition are largely under the control of America’s geopolitical rivals. China and Russia are also the chief beneficiaries of the soaring costs of the commodities essential to power EVs.
Reality Is About to Crush Dems’ Midterm Dreams
Newt Gingrich: November realities are going to be a lot friendlier to Republicans than August news media fantasies.
Why Trump Should Not Be Our Nominee
Reason #4: He has no political discipline and makes too many unforced errors. It’s tough enough for any Republican when the media and the entire Washington establishment are aligned against you. Why give them grist for their mill? Trump’s bumptious and combative nature sometimes served him well when doing battle with the press room, but engaging with Rosie O’Donnell? C’mon.
