Impeachment was always intended by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to serve as a diversion from the freak show that’s taking place in the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. And, even though the whole thing has blown up in her face as far as public opinion goes, she has been successful in using it as a distraction.

Strong Economy Provides Path for Trump Reelection If He’ll Take It
if Trump wants to secure his reelection, he should spend much more time talking about job growth and a lot less time getting distracted by igniting infantile flame wars on Twitter. The economy will be the closing statement for Trump’s reelection as long as he doesn’t get in his own way.
Don’t Defend the Malicious Incompetence of Iran’s Regime
It is no surprise that the evil intentions of Tehran’s ayatollahs should lead, through pure malignant incompetence, to the senseless massacre of 176 airline passengers.
An Anti-Trump Narrative Dies in the Desert
Hugo Gurdon: Let’s stipulate that Trump’s threat to target Iran’s cultural sites was wrongheaded…It made it easy, as usual, to depict him and his administration as unthinking and devoid of any planning, plausible or otherwise. But easy answers are often lazy ones. And so it was with the Left’s reflexive outrage over the hit on Soleimani.
Trump Didn’t Make Iran’s Rulers Killers, But Obama Did Enable Them
Far from keeping Iran under control, Barack Obama’s deal further enabled Iran’s malicious behavior and made the entire Democratic Party and the news media complicit in downplaying its bad actions.
Bernie Sanders Isn’t a Joke — He’s Dangerous
Were a major political party to nominate an avowed socialist as its candidate for the White House, it would be a monumental event in the nation’s history.

Ricky Gervais’ Golden Globes Opening Exposed Hollywood
Hosting the Golden Globe awards, Gervais warned the assembled celebrities not to become politicians. “If you do win an award tonight,” he said, “don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech. You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world….” Predictably, this message fell on deaf ears.
The Left Promulgates the “Assassination” Lie of Pro-Soleimani Propaganda
The most execrable corner of the Left has taken to branding the killing of Soleimani — orchestrated in a congressionally authorized war zone by troops lawfully present against an enemy commander — as an “assassination.” Moreover, they’re running cover for the former leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Why Trump Didn’t Need Congressional Approval to Kill Soleimani
The killing of Qassim Soleimani in Baghdad on Thursday was a lawful act, wholly compatible with President Trump’s responsibilities as commander in chief. Trump had no obligation to consult Congress before ordering the operation which killed the leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Conservatives Need to Get a Handle on Nationalism in 2020
Our greatest wish for the Republican Party of 2020 and the entire decade is that the GOP formulates a coherent, inclusive, forward-looking nationalism. National sovereignty and American exceptionalism are unpopular ideas in academic and industry circles. Conservatism and the Republican Party need to launch a robust defense of them.
Hatred of Jews Doesn’t Just Come from White Supremacists
A rash of despicable attacks on Jews in the Northeast has brought long overdue attention to burgeoning anti-Semitism.

Mayor Pete Doesn’t Have an Immigration Plan. He Has a Welcome Mat
Current immigration policy is muddied at best , functioning as half border protection, half charity for the world’s poor. Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg proposes to erase that ambiguity and just make it 100% charity.
Should Evangelical Christians Support Trump in 2020?
Can we, as Christians, vote to elect a man so morally vacuous and allow him to represent us? We did it in 2016. Must we do it again? Should we not? The answer is — well, there is no right or easy answer. And that has just as much to do with the Democratic Party as it does with Trump.
Dems’ Christmas Gift to Trump: Green Debate Extremism
President Trump’s campaign team must have loved Thursday night’s 2020 Democratic presidential debate. After all, Trump’s 2020 opponent was almost certainly on the stage last night. But when asked how far they would go to fight climate change, each of the Democrats gave a variation on the same answer.
Covington 2: Newsrooms Falsely Accuse West Point Cadets of Flashing White Supremacy Symbol
Here we go again. Call it the sequel to the Covington Catholic scandal.
Impeachment Has Blown Up in the Faces of Dems and It’s Their Own Fault

Clint Eastwood Is Using Trump’s Tactics to Play the Liberal Media and Promote His Richard Jewell Movie
There are few as skilled at whipping the liberal media into a frenzy for their own benefit as President Trump. Now, famed actor and director Clint Eastwood is following the president’s lead — and hoping to reap the rewards at the box office.
Stop Helping Putin
Battling Putin’s disinformation is harder than it should be, and that’s in part thanks to Democratic spin and media malpractice. When Democrats pretend Putin’s only goal was and is to elect President Trump, or when they angrily deny that Ukraine’s leaders made any efforts on behalf of Hillary Clinton, they are weakening our ability to battle Putin.
Strong Jobs Report Is a Disaster for Doomsayers and Dems
As the stock market tested new highs this week, Democrats were deprived of the old talking point about a “jobless recovery.” To make matters even worse, they couldn’t even complain about “McJobs” — that the new jobs created are worthless, low-paying jobs.
Liberal Media Sells Out to Qatar
Recently, several progressive media and educational organizations, including NowThis, Vox, SXSW, and TED Talks, quietly partnered with the Qatari government to produce a debate series aimed at Americans, called Doha Debates…But its real mission is to help create a smokescreen that the Qatari government hopes will obscure some of the most anti-progressive domestic and foreign policies in the world.
People Are Actually Confused About What Is Actually an “Attack” on a Politician’s Child
Do Professor Karlan’s remarks represent an attack on the president’s 13-year-old son, as social media users, members of the Trump campaign, and even members of the Trump family allege? No, of course not. Come on. It was a play on words. Karlan’s criticism was for the president.
