The problem for Biden is similar to the one faced by Franken when he was forced to resign from the Senate: Descriptions of misconduct are more believable when consistent with visual evidence.

The elites who usher in these rapid changes typically benefit from them. The rest of society often finds itself as a stranger in a new land.

Beto O’Rourke is the Democratic front-runner today because he stands for nothing.

This is the person who thinks he can beat President Trump, who at least anticipated he’d be scrutinized to some degree, even as no one could have foreseen the hostile reception he got from all of the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and the national news media. In his first major political speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2011, Trump was as clear-eyed as Schultz is oblivious.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., lied at this weekend’s South by Southwest Conference when she implied that former President Reagan was a racist. Her claim that Reagan”pitted” white working class people against minorities in order “to screw over all working-class Americans,” particularly African-Americans and Hispanics, is both false and malicious.

The Washington Examiner

Trump is the target of an extraordinary combination, not just of federal and congressional probes, but a long list of less-discussed but potentially consequential investigations by state and local prosecutors and regulators. Together, it adds up to a pile-on of unprecedented proportions, mostly the work of blue-state Democrats who stand to gain if their investigations cripple the president.

As Democrats scrambled to defend Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., for her relentless and unrepentant anti-Semitism, a few settled on a truly horrific defense: that she’s an immigrant and that’s all you can expect from her.

The House Oversight Committee, the premier investigative body in Congress, devolved into a group therapy session on Wednesday as one of the nation’s leading legislators openly accused another of racism during the testimony for Trump fixer-turned-foe, Michael Cohen.

If you were going to prison for multiple years after pleading guilty to a slew of crimes, including tax evasion and bank fraud, what would you do? A) go away quietly and hope everyone forgets, or B) appear in front of Congress on national television to confess all of the ugly details about your life?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., may be the heroine of the Democratic Party’s left, but she needs to read more history.

If you live in Bakersfield, Calif., and you’re looking for the most expensive way possible to travel to Merced, 164 miles to the northwest, well then, did you ever just luck out.

If he wants to remain president beyond 2020, he needs to study what he did right Tuesday night and stick with it.

For all the anti-Trump anger and energy in their party, the Democrats’ 2020 campaign announcements have largely been weird, underwhelming, and immediately forgettable.

Anytime President Trump or Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen says there are criminals crossing from Mexico into the U.S. illegally, major media outlets eye them with the most severe suspicion, as though it can’t possibly be true.

Is food the new tobacco? Most people would recognize the obvious difference. But a new report in the British science journal the Lancet is calling for a global treaty to tackle the “negative health and environmental effects of the food system,” citing the World Health Organization’s framework for tobacco control as a model.

After ending the government shutdown with a temporary funding measure, Trump had one remaining chance to show up Speaker Nancy Pelosi: He could have thrown a State of the Union address of his own making, outside of Congress.

Affordable, abundant, versatile, and reliable electricity remains the key to economic growth and prosperity in the modern world.

Now the entire nation knows that congressional Democrats’ main contribution to the debate over illegal immigration is to call President Trump names.

Other than the toilets backing up in those same parks, we do seem to be remarkably short of bad outcomes from this process. Sure, there are a lot of people complaining they’re not getting their paychecks, but us not having to pay bureaucrats is a saving to us taxpayers, not a cost.

The Washington Examiner

By remaining coy and then surprising the military members, Trump effectively gave the military the recognition they deserve. Then it caused the media to bend itself into a pretzel backtracking, spinning, and complaining. Trump now looks heroic, selfless, full of grace, humor, and concern while the media looks petty, boring, even belligerent in their attempt to frame Trump’s behavior.

The Washington Examiner

Misleading journalism, poor conclusions and faux advocacy.

Beto O’Rourke’s recent surge in polls says less about his chances in the 2020 presidential race than it does about how weak many other likely Democratic contenders are as the campaign enters its preliminary stages.

The Washington Examiner

Politicians are a vicious type by temperament. Perhaps Trump is worse because Trump is more direct. But it would be dishonest to disregard past history to dunk on the current president. It would also be harmful to the health of our country.
