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.

How Do We Get Our Nation Back on Track?
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.
Give Elon Musk a Chance
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.
The Diluting of America
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?
If You Don’t Want to Catch Covid, Stop Testing for It
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.
America, We Can Choose Not to Tolerate Weirdoes
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.
Trump Can Win in 2024
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.
Does Trump Really Want to Be President Again?
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.
Trump’s Political Death Wish
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?
Left-Wing Journalists Are Some of the Planet’s Worst People
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…
Elon Musk’s Big Mistake
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
The Taxpayer-Funded College Scam
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 Exhaustion Syndrome
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.
Liz Cheney Wins 2022 Turkey of the Year Award
Previous winners include Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Adam Schiff and Andrew Cuomo.
Thanksgiving Lessons
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.
Thanksgiving Proclamation 118
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.
The Case for DeSantis in 2024
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.”
Some Humble Advice for Trump
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.
NBC News Must Reveal Their Source in the Paul Pelosi Debacle
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.
Let’s Talk About Trump
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.
Florida Is the New Capital of Red State America
Florida, the nation’s third-most populous state, has surpassed Texas, the nation’s second-most populous state, as the capital of red state America.
That Could Have Gone Better
Kurt Schlichter: Much of America is more liberal than we want to accept, and a whole lot of Americans are willing to tolerate the garbage policies Democrats push. Some people just don’t want freedom – they liked the COVID crap and support woke fascism.
Election Hangover
Kurt Schlichter: Grandpa Badfinger warned us – don’t expect answers Tuesday night! – but we used to be able to count the votes in one night. Now it takes forever in liberal blue states and cities. Red states? Done and done. Democrat places? Why should they show competence in this aspect of governance when they don’t in any other? Also, delay makes it easier to cheat.
Vote Against Every Democrat Everywhere
Vote, for the love of God, vote! Vote against every Democrat everywhere, up and down the ballot. They not only need to lose, they need to be destroyed.
