Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) claimed all their state’s reservoirs were full when Los Angeles started to burn this year, but that is not true. Why it lay empty as firefighters ran out of water is an indictment of federal overregulation and slavish Democratic adherence to bureaucratic processes that defy reason and common sense.

Britain Is Suddenly Falling in Love with Trump
The oddest thing is happening in Britain: Trump is becoming popular. The man was almost universally abhorred during his first term. Leftists loathed him, naturally. But so did most rightists, partly for his character and partly for his policies, above all his soft spot for Vladimir Putin, his ambivalence about NATO, and his hankering after tariffs.
No, Elon Musk Did Not Perform a Nazi Salute
Democrats falsely accusing their Republican political rivals of being Nazis and supporting Adolf Hitler is their go-to hyperbolic hysteria political tactic.
Trump’s Unique Opportunity This Inauguration Day
Trump’s astonishing political comeback means he enters office with the energy and excitement of a first-term president but the experience and knowledge of a second-term president. He is surrounding himself with people who are committed to his vision and who also know how Washington works. This gives them a chance to make that vision reality.
California Needs to Be Democrat-Proofed
As wildfires consumed over 5,000 buildings in Los Angeles last week, killing 24 people, Democrats in Sacramento had far more pressing business to attend to: allocating $50 million to attack a presidential administration that hasn’t even taken office yet.
The Pentagon Needs a New Kind of Leader
It needs one who will restore a foreign policy strategy of deterrence and peace through strength. Army National Guard veteran Pete Hegseth is President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for the job and the new kind of leader we need.

A Nation of Childless Scrooges
Scrooge’s rejection of marriage and family does not start off as simple greed. Instead, it began as a deep, fearful insecurity.
No More Welfare for Illegal Immigrants
The millions of foreigners who have no right to be here and are not wanted by American citizens has inflicted financial havoc on state and local governments. If Congress does not act, the illegal population will add to federal deficits as well.
America Has a Bright Future Once Again
A spirit of optimism and renewal has swept over our country, and this hope has already affected families, communities, and businesses. Just think about what has happened at home and abroad in the last month alone.
Trump’s Mockery of Trudeau May Topple Canadian Government
The longtime premier of Canada has become a favorite punching bag for Trump, who has mocked Trudeau as the “governor” of the “great state of Canada” and repeatedly insinuated that Canada should become the 51st state of the United States.
A Conservative Comeback in the Culture War
At this point, it seems fair to say that this battle of the culture war is over, and the Right won. Despite the almost hysterical war the Left is waging to take the culture to the Beyoncé era, they’re not just losing — they literally cannot win.
Columbia University Is a Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy
Nestled in the bastion of morality and humanity that is NYC, Columbia has risen the ranks to become the most despicable of the Ivy League universities, an impressive feat considering the arrogance of the plagiarizing elitists at Harvard. Columbia has become the hottest of hotbeds for antisemitic rioters.
Good Riddance to Wray
Wray has been a dissembler since he took over the bureau in 2017. He came into office promising transparency, candor, competence, depoliticization, and systemic reform. He has produced none of it, acting instead as an obfuscator and excuse-maker.
DA Alvin Bragg Can’t Be Trusted to Oversee the Trial of the CEO Shooting Suspect
He has proved that he can’t be trusted to handle the cold-blooded killing of Thompson, with all the political implications of his pro-criminal “reform” stance as well as the left-wing view of health insurance executives such as Thompson. Bragg is incredibly likely to botch this
Far Left Defends CEO Killer While Attacking Daniel Penny
A veteran who risked his life to stop a man from attacking subway passengers is being condemned by the Left, labeled a murderer and racist, and was facing calls for his imprisonment. Meanwhile, the same left-wing movement exonerates and even defends the murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Trump Can Find a Much Better Nominee to Run the DEA
The Hillsborough County sheriff has a sordid history of making decisions that have contributed to distrust in law enforcement. He arrested a pastor who defied the pandemic lockdowns, has used his office to promote the gay and transgender movement, and has refused to enforce Florida’s laws prohibiting employers from hiring illegal immigrants.
Joe Biden’s Pardon of Hunter Is an Abuse of Presidential Power
While not violating the Constitution’s letter, the president’s pardon of Hunter Biden clearly infringes on its spirit.
Trump’s Cabinet Is Not Just Stacked with “Yes Men”
While some of Trump’s picks could be perceived as archloyalists, others reflect the electoral reality that the MAGA coalition has broadened and grown.
DEI Has Made America Meaner
Diversity, equity, and inclusion has made society meaner — mean enough to accept Hitlerian terms when describing out-groups and seeking to exact revenge on perceived oppressors. This was all common sense to many of us years ago, but it’s nice that we now have a study that substantiates our perception.
RFK Jr. Deserves a Fair Hearing
Many of Kennedy’s opinions run counter to accepted science on healthcare and food safety. On the other hand, his opinions regarding obesity, food additives, and foods with sugar need to be taken seriously by the public. He deserves a fair hearing before the Senators who will vote on his nomination.
Rep. Mace’s Bathroom Bill Is a Logical Next Step
Most of the country shifted rightward in favor of Trump after Vice President Kamala Harris aligned herself with the far Left. An undercurrent of normalcy is returning. The majority of people are either indifferent to woke ideas or find them bothersome enough to advocate their removal from the mainstream.
This Is What Draining the Swamp Looks Like
It’s what Trump was elected to do. His mandate is to disrupt business as usual in Washington. And to disrupt business as usual in Washington, he needs a team of disruptors
