Nike ran its first Super Bowl ad in 27 years last week. The ad, called “You can’t win. So win,” made no sense. It was an expensive gambit that leaned into woke capitalism and fake feminism and failed to root itself in any relevant consumer or cultural insight.

Europe Can’t Yet Handle the Truth
Sometimes a friend needs to hear the truth, even or perhaps especially if it hurts. Europe is a case in point. JD Vance delivered the painful truth at the Munich Security Conference, and the fact that it made his German hosts literally cry underscores both the veracity of his message and the state of denial to which our trans-Atlantic friends have sunk.
Is Disney Back to Putting Families Over Politics?
One of the hopes from the 2024 elections is that major corporations such as Disney would reevaluate to whom they are trying to appeal. It appears that the House of Mouse is finally starting that self-reflection.
Pam Bondi Lays Waste to the Lawless Garland Regime
Attorney General Pam Bondi has barely been in office for a week but has already sent a clear message that the Justice Department is under new management. On Wednesday, Bondi announced she had filed a lawsuit against the state of New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY), and New York AG Letitia James for what she said was prioritizing “illegal aliens over American citizens.”
The War on Plastic Straws Highlights Dems’ Shoddy Science
President Trump‘s executive order ending the federal government’s push to transition to paper straws is a good reminder that environmentally-obsessed Democrats regularly botch “The Science.” This is especially true when it comes to their climate policies.
How the Left Lost Its Cool
Many are now positing what was recently unthinkable: President Donald Trump, the beta-carotene-hued king of all things camp, is suddenly “cool.” “Trump is cool now,” an incredulous Bill Maher remarked on a recent episode of HBO’s Real Time.
Ending Plunder and Grift at USAID
Guatemalan transgender organizations scooped $2 million from the USAID. Advancing DEI in Serbia was financed with $1.5 million, and $47,000 was found for a transgender opera in Colombia. These and many other left-wing grifts are being brought to light by Trump administration moves to get bloated federal spending under control.
Trump 2.0 Is Miles Ahead of the Democrats
Perhaps Trump simply learned how to combat the Left’s tricks, or he is surrounded by far more competent advisers this time around. Maybe the bullet that nearly killed him focused the president in ways not seen in his several decades in the public eye. Whatever the case may be, this version of Trump is a far more effective weapon against the Left than many thought possible.
Tulsi Gabbard Is the Right Person to Lead the Intelligence Community
President Donald Trump was elected with a mandate to deliver bold change in Washington, and his choice of former Rep. and Lt. Col. Tulsi Gabbard to be the director of national intelligence does just that.
Trump’s Executive Order Will Defend Women
On Day One of his second term, President Donald Trump took bold action to protect women’s rights by signing a powerful executive order defining male and female as the only two and separate sexes. Trump’s sex-definition executive order is a nationwide victory for women and girls.
Blame Dem Party Incompetence for Palisades Destruction
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.
Good Riddance to Trudeau
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that he will resign, and he can take his communist sympathies and progressive political lectures with him as he disappears from the political scene.
Dems Are to Blame for Record Homelessness
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has found there is now a record number of homeless people in the United States. Liberal policies are primarily to blame.
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.
