Trump on Saturday night posted a video offering an update on his health status, he says he’s feeling “much better,” but about 120 seconds in, he said what he and his surrogates should be screaming every day until Nov. 3. “This is America,” he said. “This is the most powerful country in the world. I can’t be locked up in a room upstairs and totally safe and just say hey, whatever happens, happens. I can’t do that. We have to confront problems. As a leader, you have to confront problems.”

Trump’s Positive Test Is Serious, But Media Voices Need to Pump the Brakes
Trump is at a higher risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19 than younger populations. He is also the president. Both elevate the seriousness of his positive test. It doesn’t merit media voices going all-in with warnings of a civilizational emergency.
Trump Caught an Early Spread Virus, Which Happens in a Pandemic
The professional coronavirus hysterics in the media are naturally having vapors about President Trump and the first lady having been infected, because this is what happens when you don’t wear masks…But this isn’t about masks or social distancing. This is about yet another person who happened to catch an easily spread, airborne virus.
The Pundit Class Really Wants the Debates to Be Canceled
More information is almost always preferable to less, even if it means watching two septuagenarians scream at each other for a couple of hours.
Debate Was a Blown Opportunity for Trump
In all of his interruptions, Trump, despite his reputation for being a master at messaging over the TV medium, lost chances to damage Biden. He often set up attacks only to fall back into repeating phrases that didn’t communicate to outsiders what he was talking about.
Op-Ed Page at NY Times Turned 50, Where Freedom of Ideas Is Under Duress
Today’s media landscape has outlets like the New York Times leading the way towards the wholesale elimination of dissent. Ironically, those who once claimed to be the most “tolerant” members of our society are actually showing themselves to be the most intolerant.
Amy Coney Barrett’s Critics Are Desperate
There are no good legal objections to her nomination. That is why critics are scrambling for a moral one. But based on what they have come up with so far, there don’t appear to be any good moral objections either.
Liberal Media Already Targeting Amy Coney Barrett with Anti-Catholic Bigotry
In preemptively disparaging her faith, liberals have already shown their hand. They hope to turn this nomination, and by extension the coming election, into a Holy War. Their fundamentalist dogma of wokeness has become their basis for launching a religious conflict — an anti-Christian crusade.
Amy Coney Barrett Is the Best Mom for the Supreme Court
Known for the strength of her Catholic convictions after the viral “dogma lives loudly” moment during her confirmation hearing for the 7th Circuit, Barrett walks the walk. She is an active mom of seven, including a child with Down syndrome and two adoptive children from Haiti.
Tell-All Books Can’t Bring Down Trump
Since the start of the Trump presidency, tell-all books have been released in hopes that they would shed light on a polarizing leader and hopefully turn the tide against him. Each of these attempts is like the other in that it fails to convert anyone.
History Will Thank Trump (and Obama) for Keeping Hillary Out of Office
Win or may lose in November, there is one thing for which people will forever praise President Trump: Just when it counted, at the moment of crisis with all on the line, he threw his body into the line of incoming fire — and prevented Hillary Clinton from becoming president.
Trump Has a Great Foreign Policy Record. Why Isn’t He Talking About It?
Voting has begun, unfortunately, before a serious discussion of foreign policy. It is rather odd since President Trump, never one to conceal his victories from view, has a powerful story to tell.
Bob Woodward’s “Bombshell” That Wasn’t
If anything, the Woodward tapes merely confirm what the president said on April 1 when he admitted he soft-pedaled the virus despite understanding the dangers.
New Dirt on Trump Makes Some Yearn for GOP Replacement
Quinn Hillyer: Some of us who are conservative still dream of a different Republican at the top of the ticket. We wonder if winning would be easier without all of Trump’s self-inflicted wounds…The stories of Trump’s alleged narcissism, racism, and cruelty come so repeatedly that they wear on the nerves. If Trump would just get out of the way, maybe we would have a campaign dominated not by Trump’s outlandish personality but by ideas for America’s future.
Biden Befriends Anti-Semitic Father of Accused Rapist and Domestic Abuser
Trump’s 2016 presidential odds were nearly derailed by women who came forward to accuse him of various degrees of sexual misconduct. Four years later, hand-wringing over violence against women has vanished. Biden has just met with the father of the new hero of the Black Lives Matter movement — Jacob Blake, the man shot by police after violating a restraining order due to an alleged felony sexual assault.
Dems Won’t Live by the Pandemic Standards They Force on Everyone Else
If Democratic leaders are willing to disrupt the lives of citizens all across the country, the least they could do is live under the restrictions they impose on everyone else. They either think that they are above the restrictions or that the virus is not as serious as they claim it is when addressing the public. Both options reflect poorly on their judgment.
Lawlessness Has No Place in America
Rudy Giuliani: If the Democrats manage to take control of Washington this November, they would run America the same way they are running our country’s biggest cities — by appeasing violent rioters and undermining the rule of law.
How Mail-In Ballots Threaten Democracy
Democrat leadership clearly wants non-citizens to vote — an ironic idea, since they also claim to be concerned about foreign influence over U.S. elections. The Left is willing to mar our democracy for a chance at winning at the ballot box. That is simply un-American.
Sports Leagues Aren’t Taking a Stand for Jacob Blake, They’re Playing Follow the Leader
Temporarily postponing games doesn’t mean anything, nor does it help solve any of the issues players are ostensibly worried about…Playing follow the leader and reciting progressive talking points isn’t “taking a stand,” no matter how much sports media want to push that narrative.
The NBA Playoff Boycotts Are an Empty Gesture
The truth is, players don’t really care about this pandemic-interrupted season with fan-less playoffs. The purpose of their returning for the season was to put social justice first and actual basketball second.
Jerusalem Was a Fitting Setting for Mike Pompeo’s Message
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivered a speech to the Republican National Convention that aired Tuesday night looking over the Old City of Jerusalem. It was a fitting setting because it was the location of one of President Trump’s boldest foreign policy moves.
Imagining What Biden’s America Would Look Like in 2021
The one bright spot in Biden’s America over the last year has been in healthcare. When the Trump’s Operation Warp Speed led to a vaccine in record time, Americans decided they were tired of seclusion and took the vaccine…Defeating the pandemic is now acknowledged by pundits on both ends of the spectrum as Trump’s finest hour. The vaccine came out two weeks after the November election.
Rose Garden Renovation Reveals Anti-Trump Resistance Even More Deranged Than It Seems
One may not care for the new aesthetic, but it is what it is: a garden renovation. However, judging by the onslaught of hate directed at the first lady following the garden’s reopening, one would think that she had murdered a baby panda on live television.
Republicans Concede Biden Did Not Look Mentally Unfit
Quietly, GOP operatives conceded the spirited address packed a punch that undercuts President Trump’s argument that his opponent is in mental decline and unprepared to lead.
