John Lewis Funeral Was a Political Event

Townhall

Traditionally, funerals are supposed to serve at least three purposes: honor the life of the deceased, comfort those who mourn his passing and preach a message about eternity and the brevity of life. Tradition was discarded during John Lewis’ funeral last week….There were allegations of voter suppression by Republicans and a comparison of Trump by former President Obama to segregationist, George Wallace.

Time for Tough Love for the Euroweenies

Townhall

Kurt Schlichter: For too long we have been taken advantage of by Teutonic freeloaders who were more than happy to cut their defense spending to the bone while allowing us to make up the difference. The Germans ended conscription, let their once-formidable military rust, and refused to keep their promise to put a measly 2% of their mammoth GDP into protecting their own country. 

Good Riddance to Drudge

Townhall

Drudge was the only game in town for a long time, now he’s not. You don’t need a clearing house for buried news nuggets, there are countless conservative sites doing original reporting on those nuggets that makes him almost irrelevant. Nothing can be hidden anymore.

To Hell with Professional Sports

Townhall

Derek Hunter: If I want to be preached to, I’ll call a priest, not millionaires who play a game for a living. If I want to learn something, I’ll read a book, not seek out the “feelings” of someone in a profession known for having proxies take their classes for them. And if I want a distraction from daily life, I’ll practice self-dentistry before I give these pampered narcissists a second of my time.

The Dems Declare a Jew Ban

Townhall

Anyone concerned with Jews and Israel should be horrified by the Democrats’ newly released 2020 platform. It directly threatens the Jewish state, employs double-talk calculated to stoke antagonism between the American left and Israel, and pays passing lip-service to opposing antisemitism.

The Covid-Infected Are Fleeing Mexico for U.S. Hospitals, Proving Trump’s Point

Townhall

America and its leaders need to know the extent to which Mexico coronavirus imports are filling U.S. hospitals so they can counter the problem with the correct cocktail of policies. After all, what good does it do only to restrict drinking in American bars and frolicking on beaches when significant numbers of those hospitalized got infected beyond the reach of such policies, in Mexico, under that country’s unique circumstances?

Enough Whining About Trump’s Mean Tweets

Townhall

Kurt Schlichter: I love Trump’s tweeting, from his eccentric grammar to his wacky capitalization, from his occasional hilarious typos to his caustic venom when he’s in full effect mode. I love how he uses his tweets to seize and set the narrative, and I love watching the debate suddenly become not, say, if gropey Grandpa Badfinger is senile but just how demented he is. 

Progressive Policies Wreck Everything

Townhall

John Stossel: Minneapolis Democrats brag that they recycle most everything. They have a plan to stop climate change. They tell landlords to whom they must rent. They will force employers to pay every worker $15 an hour. Despite such policies, meant to improve life for minorities and the poor, the Minneapolis income gap between whites and Blacks is the second-highest in the country.

What a Second American Civil War Would Look Like

Townhall

This war will be waged by far-left radicals and their deep-state puppet masters. For them, civilian casualties and massacres will not be moral evils, but merely part and parcel of their larger plan to “reconstruct” America. Their objective is simple: overthrow our constitutional order, destroy our way of life, and deprive us of our freedom, our liberties, our property, and our honor.

Time for Trump to Start Kicking Aspiration

Townhall

Kurt Schlichter: Trump has one weapon he has yet to unleash: he Reaganesque optimism. Things are a mess, and the Democrats are doing everything they can to make them messier. They are holding onto their precious pangolin pandemic panic like Brian Stelter grips a pie, ferociously fighting to keep hope dying by denying our kids school and millions of us a livelihood, all to eek out a win in November.

Tolerant Liberals Sure Hate Jews

Townhall

The left claims to be against hate, but they aren’t. They use it, they foment it, they direct it. Liberals manufacture it and scream about it at the top of their lungs when it suits their needs, but when it comes to Jewish people, they’re blind, deaf, and mute. 

This Is a Great Opportunity to Destroy Academia

Townhall

Kurt Schlichter:  Academia today is a pack of rabid reds, and we need to put it down like Old Yeller….This entire wokeness idiocy is the result of hack academics peddling half-baked theories that justify the consolidation of elite power at the expense of those of us who don’t live on the diploma dole.

NBC’s Eye-Rolling Newsroom Shakeup

Townhall

The company aspires to achieve two concrete goals: that 50% of the News organization employees be women and 50% of the total workforce be people of color…This confirms that the whole NBC/MSNBC newsgroup is focused on activism over journalism. They’re more concerned about making sure they push the typical Democratic talking points instead of reporting the news. 

Treat Covid as the Local Crisis It Is

Townhall

For the nervous Nellies who don’t have underlying conditions, screaming about how we’re all going to die if we don’t keep everything shut down, you can all stay home. You are staying home anyway. Stop trying to punish the rest of us who aren’t afraid.

It Is Time for America to Take a Stand

Townhall

America is a great and good country, with a proud and noble history. It is a history of tremendous sacrifice for peoples all over the world. It is time to stop apologizing for an institution in our culture that we fought a war costing over 600,000 American lives to end over 150 years ago.

Carl Bernstein Column Hailed by Journalists Shows the Problem with Contemporary Journalism

Townhall

We are led to believe that an anonymously-sourced bit of hysteria is a ground-shaking act of journalism, and that the praise for all of the meticulous details is in any way accurate. The inability of journalists to see past the CARL BERNSTEIN byline in the CNN article and look over this piece with objective eyes speaks volumes about the decline of the industry in the decades since Bernstein rose to become a star journalist.

America’s Problem Is Systemic Liberalism

Townhall

Kurt Schlichter: Look through the endless woke tweets of your favorite hack journalist, pinko pol, or Hollywood half-wit, or even go up to some self-described liberal in your own life, and see if you can find one iota of deviation from any of the approved liberal dogma. Good luck. You won’t find a smidgeon of nonconformity. You won’t detect a molecule of dissent.
