- If you’re going to judge Donald Trump, judge him by what he does—not what he says. His blunt rhetoric and use of social media are tools of negotiation, not diplomacy. So far, his policies align closely with his campaign promises. No one paying attention should be surprised.
- The last time Americans saw tanks rolling through the streets like they did during the Army’s birthday parade in D.C., it was April 2021—and they were in Kabul, driven by the Taliban in captured U.S. Abrams tanks.
- Progressives often spotlight inequality but overlook a hard truth summed up in four words: “Choose your parents wisely.” Much of life is shaped by forces beyond our control.
- You can read mountains of social justice literature without finding a single historical example of proportional representation across groups in any competitive society—at any time, in any place.
- China operates over 1,200 coal-fired plants, releasing tens of billions of tons of CO₂ annually. Meanwhile, Western regulators obsess over minor matters such as banning gas-powered lawn mowers that make virtually no difference to global emissions.
- The U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities sent a quiet, unmistakable message to Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and other strongmen: decapitation-strike capability is real—and it’s what they fear most.
- Clear-thinking people don’t take their cues from emotional political rhetoric.
- I still find it striking that January 6th protestors carried American flags, while ICE protestors often waved Mexican and even Palestinian flags—yet that contrast rarely gets mentioned.
- When I was young, California was a land of sunshine, surfing, and opportunity—a magnet for dreamers. No single person has done more damage to that promise than Governor Gavin Newsom.
- Common sense led Trump to deploy the National Guard during the anti-ICE protests to avoid a repeat of what occurred in Minneapolis during the George Floyd riots—millions in damage, dozens hurt, and widespread looting. Of the 520 charged, 95% saw their charges dropped and Trump knew the same chaos would erupt in Los Angeles without a military presence.
- The media obsessed over the Trump-Musk spat, but few cared why it happened. Most just watched for the entertainment—it gave people something to talk about.
- Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a disturbing pattern has emerged: a string of “accidental” deaths among powerful Russian elites. Only a fool sees coincidence.
- Too many Americans ignore fiscal reality. But let’s be clear: Trump’s budget doesn’t cut Medicaid. It increases funding while targeting waste, fraud, and abuse—despite what the legacy media claims.
- It’s baffling: protestors here illegally often wave the flags of the countries they fled, while desecrating the American flag—the one of the nation they demand to remain in.
- In New York’s next mayoral race, voters face a dismal choice: an incompetent incumbent or a lunatic challenger.
- And on that note—New Yorkers should remember investment capital doesn’t follow socialism.
- When your party has embarrassed the U.S. on the world stage, passed a $1 trillion “infrastructure” bill with less than 9% for actual infrastructure, triggered historic inflation, mishandled two wars, and presided over a flood of illegal immigration—what’s left but to lie about the current administration?
- Chuck Schumer may be nearing the twilight of his career—polls show AOC would beat him in a primary, perhaps that’s why he won’t comment about whether or not he endorses Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York. Ah yes, a profile in courage.
- Young adults today marry much later than my generation did and far more of them live at home; could Gen Z’s challenges be tied to the 4+ hours they spend daily interacting with the world through their iPhones?
- Patriotism has become a flashpoint in today’s America, and I’m drawn to the Boston Globe’s Jeff Jacoby’s take: “My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.” That’s mature patriotism—celebrating our country’s virtues while demanding better when it falls short.
- All information in the Epstein file cannot be disclosed because innocent lives could be badly damaged without proper context; but the media doesn’t care about proper context, it cares about sensationalized headlines. Pam Bondi has to walk a fine in what the DOJ reveals.
- And speaking of the Epstein file, the Biden administration had this file for years and what did we learn?
