Jacki Gingrich Cushman: With the passage of major tax legislation behind him, and the government back open, Trump has much good news to share for his State of the Union address on Tuesday. The State of our Union is good.

Chuck Schumer started a government shutdown he couldn’t finish.  The New York Democrat, among the shrewdest operators in national politics, stumbled badly because he succumbed to the siren song of the anti-Trump resistance.

Jonah Goldberg: The median household income in Mississippi is about $41,000 per year. In California it’s about $65,000. Does anyone doubt that $41,000 goes a lot further in Biloxi than in Los Angeles?

Scot Faulkner: Liberals hoped that selectively purging their ranks of their rankest elements would give them the moral high ground to drive President Trump from office by declaring him a sexual predator. What happened instead was liberals in the media, government, and Hollywood being accused of sexual assault every twenty hours since Harvey Weinstein’s demise.

Jonah Goldberg: There’s a growing body of evidence that even if diversity once made America stronger, it may not be doing so anymore, at least in the short and medium term.

Michael Savage: Never mind that this got out of that meeting, thanks to the sneaky rat Dick Durbin…Never mind that the president is a New Yorker and that’s the kind of language you hear in that city. But what exactly did he say that was wrong?

Newsmax

Jonah Goldberg: it is a bizarre inconsistency in the cartoonishly liberal ideology of Hollywood that the only super-rich people in America reflexively assumed to be morally superior are people who pretend to be other people for a living.

Conrad Black: He can’t write properly, has no professional integrity, and is a sociophobic mudslinger and myth maker…His entry into the continuing Trump controversy in its twilight proclaims that we have reached the era of the swiftly evaporating, nausea-inducing nothingburger.

t’s February 2021, just a few weeks into the Oprah Winfrey administration, and, far from healing America’s divides, it turns out that President Winfrey has only deepened them.

Don’t blame the weather for soaring energy prices and possible electricity shortages; blame the left-wing politicians and radical environmentalists for engineering a system certain to fail. Instead of promoting an energy policy focused on reliability with a diverse array of power sources for electricity generation, New England adopted a command-and-control energy policy built on feeling good, not reality.

Dwight Schwab, Jr.: President Donald Trump has just done what he does best; beaten the odds once again. His tax cuts amidst a firestorm of negative media throughout his presidency are nothing less than astounding…The campaign promises candidate Trump pledged during the 2016 presidential campaign continue to be met despite wild opposition from both sides of the aisle.

Isis has been driven out of its cities and wiped off the maps of the Mideast. Trump has also  transformed the judiciary, not only the Supreme Court, but 12 lower federal circuit judges. This is the most in a first year of any presidency in American history.

John Cylc: Training with a gun can be a very expensive hobby. I can easily take my family to the range and burn through 500 rounds. That’s the biggest reason that the firearm community shakes its collective head every time an unknowledgeable reporter or liberally-biased media member makes a big deal of someone having “hundreds or rounds of ammunition.”

Newmax

Rich Lowry: As the year ends, President Donald Trump is compiling a solid record of accomplishment. Much of it is unilateral, dependent on extensive executive actions rolling back President Barack Obama’s regulations, impressive judicial appointments and the successful fight against ISIS overseas.

Republicans should not be disheartened by Roy Moore’s loss in Alabama, because the election had little to do with Doug Jones — and probably even less with Donald Trump or the Republican agenda.

Newsmax

Tuesday’s outcome could prove to be a short-term loss but a long-term gain for the Republican party if its leaders learn from Moore’s failure that they have to reach out to all voters. That means they have to field candidates who can appeal to voters not only in the primary, but also in the general election.

Newsmax

Rich Lowry: It’s a wonder that President Donald Trump devotes so much time to discrediting the press, when the press does so much to discredit itself.

Newsmax

Michael Savage: Why have we not heard about any women in Hollywood, for example, who have used their power to sexually molest other women…Why have we not heard one case yet of a powerful woman in Hollywood or in government who used their power to seduce and abandon a powerless woman who wanted a job or to work for them?

Newsmax

Jonah Goldberg: Millions of gun owners are likely to vote on the gun issue, while millions of gun-control supporters are not. A supermajority of Americans (76 percent to 23 percent, according to Gallup) do not want a ban on private gun ownership.

Newsmax

Rich Lowry: That Manafort ran the Trump campaign for a crucial period in the summer of 2016 speaks to the campaign’s desperation for talent at that point — a disreputable hired gun that no other Republican campaign would have considered hiring brought a note of professionalism to the operation.

Newsmax

Chuck Morse: They question the president’s mental state while they studiously avoid furtively glancing at themselves in the mirror. They smugly shriek about morality from the moral heights, or maybe we should say the moral depths, of Hollywood.

Newsmax

Rich Lowry: We are supposed to believe that the Kremlin bought the American presidential election last year with $100,000 in Facebook ads. Frankly, if American democracy can be purchased this cheap…it’s probably not worth having.

Newsmax

Tom Borelli: The decision by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to strike a balance between football players’ desire to protest during the national anthem and outraged fans is foolish and outright dangerous.

Newsmax

Conrad Black: The Never Trumpers seem to have retreated, more or less in unison, to the last trench before they throw down their arms and run backwards for their lives. They are now invoking the 25th Amendment. This indicates that they realize the impeachment movement has failed.
