Rich Lowry: The party should be entering a new, more discretionary phase in its relationship with Trump. The best argument for him once he was nominated in 2016 was that he was the only alternative to Hillary Clintonand in 2020 that he was the only alternative to Joe Biden. That isn’t the case now.

Biden’s Ballyhooed NATO Summit Won’t Do a Thing to Help Ukraine
Want a reason Putin never invaded anything underTrump’s presidency? Simple: Russia had no idea how the Donald would respond. And that was the beauty of Trump’s foreign-policy philosophy — peace through strength but with a splash of ambiguity. Then there is Biden. In nearly every instance, Biden has told the world exactly everything he was going to do.
It’s Time for Biden to Back Up His Words and Be a Real Leader
Biden’s continuing refusal to let Poland supply its 28 unused MiG fighter jets is a good example of restraint that makes no sense. His claim that the move would be escalatory because the jets could be seen as offensive weapons simply doesn’t hold water.
How Jussie Smollett Stamped on the Grave of Emmett Till
Piers Morgan: The Oscars are nearly upon us again, but we already have a winner in the Best Actor category. Jussie Smollett’s clenched-fist courtroom impression of Nelson Mandela was better than anything Idris Elba did in the movie about South Africa’s great man.
Conservative EU Countries Facing Pressure to Turn Woke
It is hard to believe in the middle of a huge humanitarian crisis, the European Parliament voted last week to slap millions of dollars in economic sanctions on the former Communist countries as punishment for refusing to go along with so-called EU “values.” Their sin is to have conservative populist governments that rejected open border and LGBTQ policies imposed by Brussels.
America Tried Exporting Woke Education and the U.K. Fought Back
Unhappiness at the American School in London has been brewing for some time. Expat parents have been complaining increasingly bitterly in recent years. The school charges $43,763 a year, per student. For this, parents say that the school is teaching children all the usual American neoracism about “white privilege,” “white fragility” and the like.
The Left Says That We’re Racists to Care About Ukraine
Just when you think the far left can’t get any more far-out, along comes their hot take on Ukraine: Our reaction, and all media coverage, is racist. Yes, even Putin’s genocidal invasion of a peaceful neighbor, and the evolving threat of World War III, must be viewed through America’s racist past.
Putin Slithered into Ukraine as Biden Dithered
It’s not a coincidence that Putin made his move against Ukraine soon after the Afghanistan debacle. If he succeeds, Biden’s record on the world stage will be 0-2, and there won’t be any doubts about who lost Ukraine.
Biden Should’ve Had a Churchill Moment, But He Blew It at SOTU
This was a moment to explain what’s at stake in Russia’s war against Ukraine, why it matters to us and our democracy and why it makes our own divisions and culture wars look petty and insignificant in comparison.
Biden’s Unserious State of the Union Speech
President Biden’s State of the Union speech was nothing but bumbling hypocrisy on Ukraine, police, border security and government spending.
Trump Should Forget the 2020 Election “Steal” and Seize the Opportunity Now
Had he conceded defeat before Jan. 6th, he would now have a clearer path to a second term, especially in light of Biden’s disastrous performance. Instead, too much of Trump’s focus is still fixed on the past at a time when Americans desperately want, and the world needs, a leader for the future.
Trump’s Putin Praise Is Morally Bankrupt
Rich Lowry: On the cusp of Putin’s act of naked aggression against the sovereign country of Ukraine, the most important Republican in the country praised the Russian autocrat for his “genius.”…It would have been a shoddy performance from a backbench congressman or a commentator, but Trump is the former leader of the free world.
Biden Presidency Has Made the U.S. Look Weaker to Putin
Weak, inept, confused, tired, clutching a note card like an unprepared student: That’s how Biden is, and that’s certainly how Putin sees him. Long before our president invited a Ukrainian invasion by suggesting a “minor incursion” would be fine, Vladimir Putin had his number. If anything stops him, it won’t be fear of the wrath of Joe Biden.
America’s Trucker Convoy Could Become the Next Tea Party
Think of it this way: Tea Party = no taxation without representation. Truckers = no vaccination without self-authorization.
Republicans Stand for Everything America Needs Now
Nikki Haley: We stand for keeping classrooms open and empowering families to choose the school that’s best for them. And we stand for ending critical-race-theory curricula and anything else that imparts discrimination and instructs kids that some of them are oppressors and others victims simply because of their skin color.
The Hypocrisy of Stacey Abrams and Her Sickening Bid to Make It About Race
For her to then play the race card to try to get herself off the rap is as reprehensible as her outrageous hypocrisy. There is one positive: Through her disgraceful behavior, Stacey Abrams has exposed the sham of making America’s children continue to wear masks in school. They must be liberated from this unscientific madness as a matter of urgency.
BLM Is Imploding in Scandal
The outfit has failed to file taxes for 2020, the year it raised tens of millions after George Floyd’s death at police hands and the rioting and protests that followed. It has no official leader overseeing its $60 million war chest after its co-founder resigned in May.
Don’t Hold Your Breath for End of Mask Insanity
All the evidence shows that cloth masks do nothing to ward off the virus. Yet our officials seem wedded to their outdated narrative. We have now had two years of them telling us to mask, double-mask, triple-mask. And most of the time the people telling us to do this clearly knew that it was making little or no difference.
Drop the Goldberg Name You Co-opted Whoopi — You Don’t Deserve It
Decades ago, when the performer Caryn Johnson decided her name wasn’t interesting enough and dubbed herself Whoopi Goldberg instead, it wasn’t because Goldberg signified “whiteness.”…She knew that by becoming Whoopi Goldberg, she would be choosing to flaunt in every way possible the fact that she was a minority person in a majority-white country. The “Goldberg” was the cherry on top.
Give Me Free Speech Warrior Joe Rogan Over Harry and Meghan
Piers Morgan: Rogan’s got an open mind; like me, he doesn’t park himself into any particular political or social tribe, nor does he like or dislike people according to their partisan allegiance. He describes himself as a “socially liberal” man who supports gay rights, women’s rights, universal health care and recreational drug use, and he has publicly endorsed Ron Paul, Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard.
Why Hasn’t Fauci Been Fired and Put Under FBI Investigation?
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House top medical adviser, shouldn’t be on TV; he should be under federal investigation answering serious questions about his knowledge of the National Institutes of Health’s reckless funding of dangerous gain-of-function research of bat coronaviruses at China’s Wuhan lab via EcoHealth Alliance while overseeing the government agency.
Chinese Elites Have Paid Some $31 Million to Hunter and the Bidens
For those wondering why Joe Biden is soft on China, consider this never-before-reported revelation: The Biden family has done five deals in China totaling some $31 million arranged by individuals with direct ties to Chinese intelligence — some reaching the very top of China’s spy agency.
Biden Acts More Like Putin’s Puppet Than Trump
Biden is acting in destructive ways that are difficult to distinguish from what he would be doing had he in fact been put in office to weaken the United States and strengthen Russia, Iran and other American enemies.
Biden’s Press Conference Was an Utter Disaster
If President Biden’s press conference Wednesday was supposed to inspire confidence, it failed — horribly. Even though he spent most of it clearly calling on reporters from a list of “safe” questioners, he stumbled and all too often made no sense at all. Plus, he repeated his bizarre “whisper shout” gimmick to emphasize certain points — when what it actually emphasizes is his age.
