Kurt Schlichter: Take South Carolina. Please. Red, red, red. Except it has given us Nikki Haley, who makes Jeb! look like…well, her with lower heels. And it has Tim Scott, a nice guy but someone who would never, ever choose to leave a heap of his enemies skulls on the field of battle as a warning to those who might challenge us.

Someone Should’ve Told Buttigieg That Wearing a Vest Is Political Suicide
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg finally descended into East Palestine, Ohio—and it was a disaster.The orange vest has been the symbol of failure, incompetence, and overall defeat.
Shove Your Pronouns Where the Sun Doesn’t Shine
Derek Hall: If adults want to ruin their lives or bodies, they can knock themselves out. But not the kids. No matter what, I’ll never play along.
Lou Dobbs Is the Main Obstacle to Fox’s Defamation Defense
Fox hosts conducted softball interviews with Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, allowing them to lay out their unsubstantiated election-fraud claims and sometimes lending credence to them. But the host of the Fox Business show “Lou Dobbs Tonight” stood out as a champion of the view that “the election was stolen,” a position he maintains to this day.
There Is No Trumpism without Trump
If Trumpism disappears, the Republican Party will fall back into the Bush-era neoconservatism of old. This toxic ideology means open borders, placating illegal immigrants, and offering watered-down liberalism to win over the votes of new demographics as the founding stock of Americans is washed away. Before Trump, this was the Republican way.
Dems Have No Good Options for 2024
Of the three leading alternative candidates for the Democrats’ 2024 presidential nomination, there are no appealing options. All three, in fact, are terrible options among Vice President Kamala Harris, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and California Governor Gavin Newsom.
No to Nikki Harris
Kurt Schlichter: Wait, did I say Nikki Harris? Nikki Haley is the Kamala Harris of the Republican Party. Everyone with half a cerebral cortex can see that she’s really just trying to position herself as the vice-presidential nominee when either Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis gets the nomination.
Justice for George Santos
A vote to expel Santos now would be a vote to throw out 200 years of experience in the House of Representatives. It could lead to a lowering of standards for expulsion that could consume both parties in the future. So justice for Santos will involve process as well as possible punishment.
How the Dems Will Come at Us
Kurt Schlichter: When a Democrat today tries to be on the side of the workin’ man, he/she/they are faking harder than a Bulwark staffer’s wife.
Satanism and the American Left
People crave meaning in their lives and usually seek it through a belief system. Misguided people find meaning in Leftism, Satanism, secular humanism and other ill-conceived ideologies. They are deceived into believing these ideologies have merit but they are hollow at best and evil at worst.
We Deserve Reparations from Stupid People
Kurt Schlichter: I think these idiots, who with their fellow race hustlers and pinko commie jerks who have turned the America Dream into a nightmare, owe the rest of us reparations for screwing up our country. Get out your checkbooks, you mutants. It’s time to pay us for having to put up with your nonsense.
Defunding the Far Left’s Agenda
The student bodies of our country are not being indoctrinated in the Marxist-Leninist claptrap or the fascist bunkum or even nudism. The assemblage of ideas, idiot yells, farfetched notions and idle daydreams is the working of a new ideology called Wokeness.
A President Nobody Wants to Run Prepares Reelection Bid
President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address was widely seen as both a traditional speech and as the informal, unstated kickoff to his 2024 reelection campaign. But the most striking thing about a Biden 2024 effort, if in fact there is one, is that it is a race few Americans want him to run.
Count Out Trump at Your Peril
Kurt Schlichter: After all, he is Donald Trump, and the thing about Donald Trump – beyond the bluster and baloney and endless drama – is that he is often right when everyone else is wrong, and he often wins after everyone counts him out. Not every single time.But a lot. His 2016 election was a Black Swan event, and he is the Orange Swan of American politics.
DeSantis Faces CNN Smears of Racism in Education
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis scored a political win in pressuring the College Board to tone down their proposed Advanced Placement curriculum on “African American Studies.” He dared to take on the Left, and for this, he is despised by the press, especially the under-40 contingent that’s most fervently “woke.”
No Apologies Over Paul Pelosi
Kurt Schlichter: Once or twice dudes have gotten together for some sexy antics while the wife was away in the City by the Bay. Occasionally, people have partaken of controlled substances in Frisco…People are going to fill in the blanks, and it might not be pretty.
LGBTQ+ “Pride” Is Totalitarian
Dennis Prager: Contrary to the pablum written by virtually every sports writer in North America (there is no more sheeplike group than sports writers), people do not oppose LGBTQ+ jerseys, nights, hockey sticks, illumination and other displays of obsequiousness because they hate gays. They do so because they intuit that this is totalitarian — that they and their teams are being forced into groupthink.
Tyre Nichols and the Race-Baiting Left
The fact that the officers charged were also black shouldn’t be a factor in a sane society, but it sadly is one because of the powder keg the BLM movement has created. Had those officers been white, Memphis would be in flames right now and the nationwide riots of 2020 would seem like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade compared to what urban America would be enduring.
Offshore Wind Endangers Whales
Why destroy the ocean to save the planet? It’s paradoxical. Worse, it undermines true conservation practices that undergird environmental stewardship. NOAA Fisheries must treat whale mortality events with the seriousness they deserve and not conceal data to assuage Big Wind.
Re-Electing Ronna McDaniel Is the GOP’s Worst-Case Scenario
Kurt Schlichter: Look, 2024 is pretty important because our country is in danger of becoming a woke commie nightmare. This is not time to do the business-as-usual thing. Business-as-usual is some dude in a dress in a public school teaching your little girl that her pronouns are they/them. It’s a border that is wide open. It is time to get serious. How can Ronna McDaniel lead?
National Debt Reflects a Nation That Has Lost Its Way
As tensions about raising the nation’s $31.4 trillion debt ceiling build, the headline that should be flashing in front of every American is that our country is not working.
Why Does Biden Love Ukraine So Much?
Derek Hunter: I’m not willing to do for Ukraine, or nearly any other country for that matter, is to go broke in defense of them. Sorry, a corrupt eastern European country isn’t worth it to me. But it is to Democrats, especially Joe Biden.
Trump’s Covid Vaccine Blind Spot
Scott Morefield: While I’m willing to give Donald Trump due credit for being against vaccine mandates, until he publicly admits that the vaccine program was and is an utter failure, he should not merit consideration for any return to higher office. Being tone-deaf on the biggest issue of this generation due to pride should be disqualifying.
Time to Impeach Biden
Derek Hunter: What Joe Biden did is significantly worse than Trump. Donald Trump had the ability to declassify material as President. Biden was not President when he stole those documents, and the Vice President has zero ability to declassify anything. So he literally stole classified material.
