It might have been an even bigger dud than the Russian collusion hoax. Trump’s tax returns from 2015-2020 showed what we all knew about the former president: he got poorer being president.

Thousands of animals are suffering miserable deaths thanks to the actions of animal rights activists. Activists with the group Animal Liberation Front have broken into farms and released thousands of mink into the wild in the name of animal rights. Their deaths have been brutal. Mink were torn from the safety of warm barns only to freeze to death.

We have a moron in the White House, a culture going to hell, and a media actively working against any and everything that refuses to conform to their left-wing agenda.

Will the videos and transcripts and notes of the more than 1,000 interviews be released? Here’s the most important thing to remember: The committee can do what it wants. The chairman, in this case Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, decides what records the committee will archive and what records it will destroy.

Kurt Schlichter: I place more importance on not being incinerated by a Russian H-bomb detonating over Los Angeles than I do the territorial integrity of some country at the butt-end of Europe. Sorry, Ukraine and Ukrainians, but America and Americans are more important to me than you.

Tens of trillions have been spent on anti-poverty programs with practically zero impact. Substantial research shows that what really combats recurring poverty is the so-called “success sequence.” Those who finish high school, do not have children before marriage and work overwhelmingly move out of poverty.

When Musk said he was going to keep Twitter “politically neutral,” the average American let out a sigh of relief. Americans are tired of so-called politically neutral institutions becoming overrun by politics, the politics of the far left.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol encountered more than 2 million migrants crossing the border in fiscal 2022, not counting an unknown number of “got-aways. How long will politicians allow this invasion and the killing of Americans to continue? Why is nothing being done?

Gone are the days when a sniffle was assumed to be a cold and life went on. People didn’t ask which cold. They even understood that it could be the flu, RSV, or another of the countless bugs that have plagued humanity for generations. Unless they had a fever bad enough to keep them at rest, those afflicted generally kept their distance but went about their lives unbothered.

Kurt Schlichter: Somehow we got to the point where we’re expected to just nod politely when freaks, strangeos, and perverts turn up in positions of great responsibility. Well, that needs to change.

Mark Lewis: But he needs to quit talking about 2020. Nobody wants to hear that anymore. You aren’t going to be President before 2025. Shut up about 2020. I’m in Thailand and I don’t want to hear it; I can imagine how the people in America feel. The future is what concerns us, not the past.

Every elected public official or candidate knows there is only one rule concerning antisemites: Go nowhere near them. Yet Trump dined with two, the now unhinged Kanye West (“Ye”) and the 20-something crackpot Nick Fuentes.

Is he crazy? Does he really think that somehow he should just be given the presidency right here, right now? Does he really think that the nation would hold a presidential election in 2022 or 2023, when the constitutional process provides for one in 2024 and then another one in 2028? Is he really thinking about anything?

Derek Hunter: If “journalism” were a protected class (not just a favored one by the left), the thoughts I have toward the people earning large sums of money allegedly practicing it would be a hate crime, were they acted on. As it stands, they aren’t practicing journalism, they engage in protection. They are engaged in actively keeping their audiences ignorant…

Kurt Schlichter: Twitter operated with mediocre functionality. It operated while run by a bunch of spoiled brats living in San Francisco presuming to decide what the rest of us can see and hear. And they worked, sort of, three-hour days, often in their footie PJs, often at home or sometimes at an office that seems more like a playground for awkwardly adulting 20-somethings. But Elon did not get that reality. He thought Twitter was a business

At the State University of New York at Purchase, theatre is the second most popular major among students with federal loan debt. What are they thinking? A graduate can expect to earn only $36,161 three years out. After all, how many theatre experts does society need?

Trump needs to start acting like an ex-president, at least a little. The people he needs the votes from to win are sick of the same old act, sick of the drama and the ego. They need to see something more from him or they will look elsewhere for it. They’re simply exhausted with the Trump Show of the past.

Previous winners include Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Adam Schiff and Andrew Cuomo.

John Stossel: Thursday, if you eat a nice meal, thank the Pilgrims. They made Thanksgiving possible. They left the Old World to escape religious persecution. They imagined a new society where everyone worked together and shared everything. In other words, they dreamed of socialism. Socialism then almost killed them.

This Thanksgiving, let’s humble ourselves, give thanks to God for His mercy, and praise Him for giving us a bit more time to turn back from the abyss.

Kurt Schlichter: DeSantis is Trump’s number one competitor precisely because of his greatest strength – competence. Not just competence in running his dinosaur-ridden state but in turning it bright red and annihilating the competition. “Competence” is going to be the watchword in 2024, along with “normality.”

Derek Hunter: I have no idea what a 14-month campaign before the first vote in a primary of caucus looks like, no one does because it’s never been done before. To avoid people suffering Trump exhaustion, The Donald needs to find ways to occupy his time that help the cause of conservatism and doesn’t wear out the patience of the people he needs to win over.

On November 4, NBC’s “Today Show” had a blockbuster report on the Paul Pelosi attack. In the report, Correspondent Miguel Almaguer cited an anonymous source close to the ongoing criminal investigation into the assault that claimed Pelosi didn’t immediately ask for help from police when he greeted them at his door the night of the attack. NBC News has now suspended Almaguer as they continue to investigate the matter.

Kurt Schlichter: Trump presents problems and we need to face them. Before we go further, we need to be clear because some folks are a bit sensitive when the subject of the ex-president comes up. Get over it. He works for us. We owe Trump nothing. He’s a politician. He owes us. I don’t care if he resents his unfair 2020 defeat any more than I care when a teenager whines that something is unfair.
