Apologists for California’s leftist governing class will claim that this is only to be expected when your state is the largest. If that’s so, how do they explain the fact the second largest state in the nation, Texas — and the state where many California businesses go to flee high taxes and an anti-business bureaucracy — had absolutely no cities on the list of dishonor?
Rich Lowry: The prospect of overturning Roe v. Wade will be at the foreground of the battle over Justice Anthony Kennedy’s replacement, and it should be.
The Democratic Party appears about to unleash its radical left, its Maxine Waters wing, and give its ideology another run in the yard. When the party has done this before, however, it did not end well.
The rhetoric and actions of the left have gotten worse and borders on incitement to violence against those who implement and support the Trump agenda. Unfortunately, it is encouraged by little condemnation and therefore tacit approval of much of the Democratic and mainstream media leadership.
Donald Trump, love him or hate him, is one very consequential president. And the Clinton’s, Bushes and Obama’s are rapidly fading from our memory.
Stephen Presser: Donald Trump does not engage in the despicable ruductio ad Hitlerum, nor does he threaten physical harm to, or even curse his critics. Compared to them he is an exemplar of decency, and perhaps that is the most galling affront of all.
Carbon dioxide deserves the same humanitarian clemency that President Trump has been dispensing to other wrongly accused or rehabilitated felons…A truly inconvenient truth is that CO2 has gotten a bum rap for just about every climate crime and environmental disaster charge imaginable.
With President Trump’s accomplishments on the economy and national security, along with the president’s rising public approval ratings, the anti-Trump mob is eager to exploit a human tragedy at the border to score political points.
Michael Savage: How do we know how many of the immigrant children are fronts for gangs? How many of these kids are bringing in drugs? How many of them are bringing in other contraband under the guise of family separation? Of course, the Left ignores this.
Ben Stein: Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller seeking to question President Donald Trump under oath on anything he damned well wants to, then punish him if, in Mr. Mueller’s opinion, President Trump has lied or evaded. This has to be one of the worst ideas of all time, if it’s true.
Jackie Gingrich Cushman: While most politicians think incrementally, President Donald Trump imagines historic events, and then enthusiastically pursues them…Trump’s ability to imagine a different future was on display during the summit.
Right now, Donald Trump is in the strongest political position since the initial months of his presidency.
Conservatives prize decorum as a matter of mutual respect and dignity. Violations of it drag everyone down. But liberals view decorum as a repressive tool of a status quo that must change.
Conrad Black: Robert Mueller is an emperor with threadbare clothes, the investigative cupboard is almost empty, and Trump’s enemies can hear the flames crackling in the straw. This preposterous farce justifies an orgy of jumbled metaphors; ring down the curtain, it is almost over.
Ron Paul: Too many government schools are more concerned with promoting political correctness than ensuring that students receive a good education. Even if cultural Marxism did not dumb down education, concerns that government schools are indoctrinating children with beliefs that conflict with parents’ political, social, and even religious beliefs would motivate many families to homeschool.
When the latest jobs report came out Friday, it should have been cause for much celebration. If you tuned into most of the major networks, however, there was just much “weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Dan Perkins: Fair trade among trading partners, who both respect one another and are honest with each other, is an excellent way to gain peace and prosperity, and I want “the master,” President Trump, on my side.
Reagan went against popular opinion and walked out of the summit. Within three years the Soviet Union collapsed. It’s a lesson for Trump. Forget “the art of the deal”; sometimes you win by walking away.
Todd Young: Robert Mueller and his band of erstwhile “Special Assistant United States Attorneys” have power to which they are not entitled — in violation of the checks and balances and separation of powers spelled out in the U.S. Constitution, full stop.
At this point what has been revealed is: the FBI and Justice Department are the ones most likely to have committed wrongdoing while the Trump campaign and his administration have committed none.
We can expect the Harvard-hosted exchange between Hillary Clinton and Massachusetts Attorney General Healey to touch on a host of perceived obstacles that purportedly got in the way of Hillary’s rightful destiny to become the nation’s first female president, shattering the proverbial “glass ceiling.”
It is increasingly clear that the Trump-hating holdovers from the Obama administration and their media enablers — together, the duumvirate — are not protecting “our democracy” but subverting it by fraudulently scandalizing and delegitimizing President Trump.
Alan Dershowitz: Hamas will continue to use the dead baby strategy as long as the media continues to report the deaths in the manner in which it has reported them in recent weeks. Many in the media are complicit in these deaths because their one-sided reporting encourages Hamas to send innocent women and children to the front line.
Democrats should be increasingly worried about their arch nemesis, President Donald J. Trump. The subject of their scorn and the media’s favorite punching bag is holding his ground and fighting back.
