John Podhoretz: Nancy Pelosi has been a great legislator. You’d have to be to last for 19 years at the top of the Democratic legislative greasy pole. That doesn’t mean she has been a great font of ideas, a great visionary, or a great leader of the American people. She has been none of those things.

The GOP Can’t Dump Trump — But Republican Voters Can
Rich Lowry: One hopes the lesson has finally been learned that Trump — no matter how much Republicans admire his combativeness, appreciate his entertainment value and detest his enemies — is not a sound electoral guide, to put it mildly.
Don’t Believe Trump. This Midterm Miss Is All Because of Him
Pretty much every word out of Trump’s mouth these days is a lie.
Bore! Trump Has Gone and Lost His Swing
The ultimate shock jock is now predictable. Wind him up and watch him throw a garbage can full of insults at anyone who won’t kiss the ring. Ho-hum.
Trump Voters Are Done with Ex-President
The chickens have come home to roost for Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. After he stuck his nose in the state’s Republican primary process last May against the guidance of his most loyal advisors, many of his once-devoted followers now say they are done with the former president.
How Trump Sabotaged the Republican Midterms
John Podhoretz: What Tuesday night’s results suggest is that Trump is perhaps the most profound vote repellent in modern American history. The surest way to lose in these midterms was to be a politician endorsed by Trump.
DeSantis Shows He’s the Future of the GOP
Suddenly, 2024 doesn’t feel so far away. Nor does Trump look like the only choice or the inevitable nominee. In that sense, the night was a coming-out party for DeSantis.
New York Red Wave Is Coming Ashore
One by one and in small groups, formerly loyal Dems are coming to the conclusion that the party they were proud to belong to no longer shares their interests and values. Many cite the left’s relentless assault on convention and standards, and the effort to silence disagreement. Every institution is either under attack or has capitulated to the woke mob, turning liberals into conservatives.
Can Anyone Name a Well-Run Democratic-Run City?
Douglas Murray: I dare even the most die-hard, dyed-in-the-wool Democrat to say, “Oh, New York has never been better. In fact, it’s just getting better and better.”
Trevor Noah Has to Invent a Racist Backlash Because Liberals Can’t Stand Color-Blind Societies
You could be forgiven for not knowing what Trevor.. Ever since he took over from Jon Stewart in 2015, “The Daily Show’s” ratings have plummeted. Who knows what the cause of that could be? Perhaps the American public doesn’t like being hectored by left-wing activists who couldn’t tell a joke even if they wanted to.
The Fetterman Cover-Up
The media and Dems cynically hid Fetterman’s unfitness for office.
John Fetterman Is Physically Incapable of Being a Senator
John Podhoretz: The debate was painful and shameful. What this debate made entirely clear is this: It is an act of personal, political, and ideological malpractice that Fetterman is still contesting for the Senate.
Biden Just Endorsed the Most Radical Trans Madness
We’re not sure which is more depressing: that the Democratic Party seems unable to resist this madness, or that the White House lunatic left has so much control over the president that he endorsed it.
Biden Prolongs Covid “Emergency” to Act Like a Dictator
How can there still be an emergency when the pandemic is over? Because the “emergency” is that Democrats need votes.
Biden Has Delusions of Grandeur — Not to Mention Delusions
In one of his rare interviews last night on CNN, the CNN demonstrated that his 50 years of political experience and his unprecedented access to intelligence reports and classified military knowledge have made him no wiser or even all that better-informed than any garden-variety pundit sitting around sucking on a thumb and speculating about Putin’s motives.
Fears of a Weak Wrist-Slap for Hunter Biden
Leaks from the Department of Justice that charges are imminent against Hunter Biden over tax and gun offenses suggest he is getting a sweet deal after a four-year investigation by Delaware US Attorney David Weiss.
America Deserves Answers on Biden’s Cognitive Function
The best way to approach Biden’s apparent multiple memory lapses and periods of disorientation is not to speculate based on video clips alone but to demand full disclosure and transparency, especially of a president almost 80 years old with a significant medical history.
Hispanic Voters Are Rejecting the Wokesters
Rich Lowry: One of the most significant events in American politics is that Hispanics are, in effect, deciding that they are working-class voters rather than ethnic-grievance voters. This is so momentous because it means that Democrats can’t rely on the monolithic Hispanic voting bloc they imagined would guarantee them an enduring electoral majority.
“Senile” Joe Biden Brings Shame to the U.S.
Biden’s cognitive deficits are increasingly apparent, even to the most amateur observer. Whether he has dementia at this point is immaterial. Half the world thinks he does and that weakens the United States and imperils us all.
Dems Need to Stop Urging Political Violence
The violence Democrats condone with a wink never gets blamed on them. Their media friends love the idea of treating the wrong-voting right this way. Our country is damaged when half the population is treated as a fringe group, pushed out of public life and faced with violence for their opinions.
Tlaib’s Anti-Israel Slander Shows Just How Far Dems Have Strayed
Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s latest anti-Israel slur highlights yet again just how far Democrats have strayed. Once upon a time, they wouldn’t have tolerated such outrageous attacks on the Jewish state. Today, Tlaib is just one of several Dems who repeatedly lie about Israel and push for its demise.
Tish James’ Trump Jihad Is Purely Political
Trump overvalued to convince banks to give him money, at the lowest interest rates possible. Whether for lack of due diligence, or because they didn’t care, they gave him the money. So James is rushing to the rescue of . . . big banks?
Dems Are Blind to the Dangers of Illegal Migrants They Invite in
When it comes to the lives of people seeking refuge, progressives only entertain the veneer of the issue, with feel-good slogans, simplistic solutions for complicated matters and wishful outcomes based on fantasy-driven advocacy.
Merrick Garland Stars in Biden’s “The Godfather Part IV”
The contrast between the president’s call for unity and the FBI’s partisan putsch is a bloodless version of the baptism murders scene in “The Godfather,” where Michael Corleone participates in his son’s christening while his goons assassinate the heads of the rival families.
