Much discussion was spurred by an article in the New York Times with the headline, “El Paso Shooting Suspect’s Manifesto Echoes Trump’s Language.” The story quoted just 28 words of the nearly 2,400-word manifesto.

There are surely Democratic voters of good will in this country. But the loudest voices on today’s Left and in today’s Democratic Party hate Trump far more than they hate racism, and they are showing it now. The moment Trump tried to do something inarguably constructive, they stopped caring about racism’s harmful effects on the body politic…

We’d like to remind people that political speech is neither a crime nor an incitement to violence, and they should stop irresponsibly treating it as such.

Biden, 76, mistakenly referred to the shootings as “the tragic events in Houston today and also in Michigan the day before,” but later corrected himself, according to a pool report. Biden seemingly confused Houston for El Paso and Michigan for Ohio when speaking to donors about the shootings.

You could call the killer who shot up a Walmart in El Paso evil, a madman, or a lone wolf, if you like. But it would be an intolerable omission if we did not also call him a white nationalist terrorist. This ideology is a growing sickness in America, and President Trump has a duty to thoroughly and roundly denounce it.

Baltimore is steeped in squalor, and the black community there bears the brunt of its inept, corrupt political leadership. Trump hasn’t had time to cause that in his less than three years in office. But in less than three seconds, his tweet has shone a glaring spotlight onto it, and that bright light is causing the rats to scurry.

For those who were too young or who grew up outside of the New York area, Sharpton may be just a standard issue liberal activist or goofy television personality. But in reality, Sharpton is much more sinister than that: he is a vile Jew hater with blood on his hands.

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.

Democrats are, without question, worse off now than they were before former special counsel Robert Mueller gave his five hours of testimony.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.

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…

As much as Warren is articulate, obviously intelligent, and energetically supported by Democrats, she would also be far easier to defeat than Joe Biden.

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.

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.
