Conrad Black: No president has ever run a midterm campaign remotely as determined as this president will, his objective performance in office is good — the economy, the border, and trade; his only weaknesses are stylistic, but he is a good deal more substantial and even likable than his gutter-sniping enemies.
Now the same ingrate who almost brought down the NFL will cause massive damage to Nike. In-N-Out is in great shape. Nike just destroyed a billion-dollar brand. The Silent Majority has spoken.
Within hours of winning the primary, Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum made race a major issue in his run for the governor’s mansion — and once-respected news outlets fanned the flames.
For example, 83 percent of registered voters nationwide recognize that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have had a bigger impact on the world we live in than presidents of the United States.
The Spirit of 1968 is in the ascendancy on the left and in the Democratic Party, which is moving toward a more open embrace of democratic socialism than perhaps could have been imagined by the protesters during those fevered summer nights in 1968.
Just in time for the final campaign sprint from Labor Day to Election Day, The Washington Post recently published a veritable how-to guide to smear the GOP as the party of bigotry.
The “Resistance” to Trump belittles and threatens our constitutional order, and the rise of democratic socialists committed to redistribution, if not the abolition of capitalism (private property), may represent the greatest threat to continued American prosperity since the Great Depression.
Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax TV on Tuesday that the Paul Manafort verdict and Michael Cohen’s guilty plea marked “a bad day for the White House” but that suggestions that President Donald Trump’s term was finished “seem a little bit over the top and exaggerated.”
Trump couldn’t hope for a better poster boy for the so-called deep state than a former CIA director who immediately began to sound like a commentator for MSNBC upon leaving government — and, indeed, signed up as a commentator for MSNBC.
In a new version of socialism, Ocasio-Cortez wants to take from the rich and give to the poor. The same story of redistribution of wealth in socialism has never been proven to work.
Clarence McKee: She has not only betrayed the president of the United States, possibly endangering national security, she has also betrayed blacks by being an embarrassment and a symbol of deception at the highest levels of government.
Christian leaders in Charlottesville, black and white, have organized a series of measures, including bi-racial prayer services, to bring about healing for the city.
Jonah Goldberg: It is right and proper to teach kids that bigotry against blacks or other particular groups is especially evil for historical reasons. But it is morally daft to celebrate or condescendingly explain away bigotry against whites as some sort of historical comeuppance for the sins — real or alleged — of their ancestors.
The Trumpish cultural message — illegal immigrants are a threat to the country, and the Democrats and the media treat you as a bigot for wanting to defend it; the elites are going after your president because they hate you—could blunt the Democratic advantage…
While Meyer may not deserve the benefit of the doubt, he doesn’t deserve an assumption of guilt either. What Meyer does deserve is what we all deserve: justice, which is hard to administer without impartiality.
Alfonse D’Amato: America’s premier newspaper, The New York Times, prides itself on its commitment to reporting “all the news that’s fit to print.” But it seems the good U.S. economic news today is too fit to print for much of the mainstream media. Is the animus of CNN and other news outlets against Mr. Trump so great they just can’t bring themselves to report this good news?
The liberal fury machine has two settings: Off and Kilauea.
They don’t realize how bad things are here. They haven’t been exposed to the constant America-bashing message coming from liberal institutions dominating our schools, our culture, our entertainment — and even our museums.
Fifty years ago, a mob of leftist baby boomers descended on the National Democratic Convention in Chicago and wreaked havoc. These self-righteous student radicals…claimed they were the champions of the “powerless,” laborers and the poor — groups they never encountered during their sheltered, suburban and gated-community youth.
The list of kept promises is long. Approval of the Keystone pipeline. The rule that eliminated two existing regulations for each new one proposed. The tax cuts. The economic expansion. The end of the Obamacare individual mandate. And best of all, the Constitution-following list of judges.
The “blue wave” many had predicted is dismantling before our eyes. The American people are captivated by the bursting U.S. economy.
Make America Great Again sounded silly to the sophisticated but resonated with the unforgotten, and spoke to them. Why? Because Mr. Trump responded with policies that catered to their needs rather than the needs of those who knew what’s best for them.
Missing from this lovefest of hostility was the undeniable fact that the punching bag they hate so much (Trump) actually loves his country. Their “analysis” of him is tainted with personal dislike and other factors that remain hidden, such as a worrisome career path or possible rejection in a changing country.
Scott Uehlinger: Trump’s remarks on the summit I found both well stated and encouraging; couched in diplomatic speak, which the president necessarily employed, I found his points compelling.
