In 2016, Trump was lucky in his opponents. Those opponents have responded to their defeat by retreating even further into partisanship and introversion. The president’s luck is holding.

Dems Come Up Empty-Handed Again and It’s Not Mueller’s Fault
Democrats are, without question, worse off now than they were before former special counsel Robert Mueller gave his five hours of testimony.
Mueller Hearing Won’t Change a Thing About Russia Collusion or Obstruction of Justice
Smart Democrats, of course, know that impeachment would blow up in their faces when they’re once again unable to find the Russia collusion ghost, so they’re hoping against hope that Mueller might give them some kind of wink or nod on the obstruction question. They’re looking for him to save them from themselves.
Dems’ Plan Is to Rob the Young and Hook Us on Federal Handouts
Social Security is a scheme that transfers wealth from young working people to older people. It is also a mechanism to replace private savings, individual investment, and familial support with government support.
With “Send Her Back” Chant, Team Trump Takes First Place as the Most Contemptuous US Political Force
The 2020 U.S. presidential election is a race to the bottom, where it seems both parties are vying to see who can be the most offensive, contemptuous, and disrespectful of the norms of civility.
Rep. Pressley Doesn’t Belong with AOC, Tlaib and Omar
Pressley never even used the words “racist” or “racism.” Using the words correctly, she accused Trump of making remarks that were “xenophobic and bigoted.” That’s a far cry from, and much more defensible than, Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota accusing Trump of “white supremacy” and of an agenda of a “white nationalist.”
“The BBC Smeared Me as Homophobic Because I Criticized Woke Lesbian Megan Rapinoe”
Brad Polumbo: The implication here is clear: Those who dare criticize liberal darling Rapinoe are just “triggered” homophobes. And it’s implied that I’m a perfect example. This is journalistic malpractice — unfair to me and misleading to the BBC’s readers. The author’s baseless allegations of bigotry are used to drown out meritorious arguments against Rapinoe.
How AOC Turned the Guns of Racism Against Pelosi
Poor Nancy Pelosi. The Democratic House speaker worked harder than anyone to win Team Blue its majority in Congress. But she played by an old set of rules, and her party’s unruly young leaders have decided she goes on the ash heap with Joe Biden and all the other Klansmen — er, sorry, Klanspeople.
Megan Rapinoe Has No Desire to Talk to You
U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe is a team player. She fights for her sport, defends her teammates, and even carries that mentality off the field and into the political arena — which means that anyone who isn’t on her ideological team isn’t welcome.
What Can Tom Steyer Accomplish as a Losing Presidential Candidate That He Can’t as a Billionaire?
It seems that the biggest winners from this announcement are the RNC and Trump, who can now count on Steyer to waste a ton of money in a Democratic primary that otherwise could have been deployed against Republicans.
CBS’ Gayle King Repeats Absurd Lie That Obama Administration Was Scandal-Free
It is the lie that will not die. CBS News’ Gayle King, whose online bio claims she is a journalist, agreed this weekend that the Obama administration was scandal-free. This is an obvious falsehood…
Dem 2020 Task: Convince Voters to Overlook the Economy
Byron York: The president’s Democratic 2020 challengers face a daunting problem: Unless there is a serious economic downturn, the answer to the are-you-better-off question will work in the president’s favor, not his opponent’s.
Andy Ngo’s Antifa Attackers Might Have Violated a Federal Anti-Klan Law
There is understandable outrage over the latest antifa violence. This weekend’s antifa assault on Quillette’s Andy Ngo was particularly alarming in its brutal disdain for the rule of law.
Anti-Trump Fever Takes Threatening Turn
Byron York: The toxicity of the resistance to President Trump has risen in recent days, with the nation’s most respected newspapers publishing rationalizations for denying Trump supporters public accommodation and for doxxing career federal employees, while a journalist found himself under physical attack from the so-called anti-fascist group Antifa…
Warren Won the First Debate. Trump Should Be Happy
As much as Warren is articulate, obviously intelligent, and energetically supported by Democrats, she would also be far easier to defeat than Joe Biden.
E. Jean Carroll’s Outlandish TV Interviews Are Damaging Her Credibility
Being a bit of an eccentric in television interviews, of course, does not mean that she made up the story. But it certainly raises more questions about her reliability as a narrator as we try to evaluate her serious accusation as fairly as possible given the passage of time.
From Kavanaugh to E. Jean Carroll, a Straight Line of Incredulity
Somewhere along the way, between Harvey Weinstein’s downfall and Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony, sexual assault became just another political commodity. Carroll knows this. Perhaps that’s why she hasn’t come forward until now.
Restricting Abortion Is Actually Good for Business
Companies fail without customers. Economics 101 suggests that the larger the pool of people from which to pull, the more product and profit will be produced. And abortion doesn’t add people to the population; it only subtracts.
Why Does CNN’s Don Lemon Fear Lost Freedom Under Trump But Not Sanders, Harris or AOC?
Tom Rogan: It is odd that Lemon ignores the ramifications for freedom of politicians who propose to take vastly more privately held money into government hands, who propose far greater control over the economy and society, and who are quite explicit about wanting to legislate in overt contravention of established constitutional rights.
Congress Shirks Its Duty at the Southern Border
The Trump administration is doing just about everything it can to slow the flood of undocumented Mexicans and Central Americans coming to the U.S. and claiming asylum. But alleviating our growing border crisis is impossible unless Congress changes our immigration laws.
Biden Once Voted to Restore Citizenship to Confederate President Jefferson Davis
The former vice president, 76, was a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee that unanimously approved a bill in 1977. The measure was sent to the full Senate, where it was approved without dissent and later signed into law by President Jimmy Carter. A year earlier, Biden had been among senators who voted to restore citizenship to Robert E. Lee, the Confederate general.
1 Million “Make America Great Again” Hats Sold
President Trump’s red “Make America Great Again” hat is still hot. Now, on the verge of breaking the million mark for the $25 ball cap, the campaign is raffling off the official 1 millionth hat in a fundraising contest.
Many British Anti-Trump Protestors Were Just Anti-American
Even it comes to presidential visits to Britain, many of these protesters aren’t just angry about a particular president, but rather they hate America in general. Every major U.S. state visit to Britain in recent memory has met protests from the far-left. This includes Barack Obama’s 2011 state visit to the U.K.
Bernie Campaigned for Marxist Party in Reagan Era
His personal files from his time as mayor of Burlington, from 1981 to 1989, archived at the University of Vermont, show that he supported and campaigned for the communist Socialist Workers Party and maintained a close relationship with its senior members.
