Chris Stigall: Trump Delivers on What He Promised 1:00

Play Pause

2d ago1:00

1:00

President Trump’s approval rating soaring above 50%, with polls like Rasmussen showing it at 53%. His handling of illegal immigration, even more impressive at 54% approval. And then there’s his handling of the Iran nuclear threat—90 percent of Trump voters support him. Despite the relentless negativity from the legacy media, it’s no mystery why his…

Hugh Hewitt: "They Should Have Done the Deal" 1:00

3d ago1:00

1:00

There are a handful of phrases from the national security crises of the past 50 years that stand out. President Donald Trump has now added his signature line to that list. For the sake of brevity, I’ll just note Mr. Reagan in 1987 saying, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" George W. Bush in 2001: "I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you.…

Ed Morrissey: The Rocky Path to Peace Requires Regime Change 1:00

4d ago1:00

1:00

Donald Trump heralded a cease-fire between Israel and Iran on Monday evening – and then spent the next several hours keeping it in place. Trump exploded in frustration Tuesday over the retaliatory exchanges that continued past the deadline, declaring that neither country knows what they’re doing. By later in the morning, both countries appeared res…

Seth Liebsohn: A Mission That Should Be Applauded 1:00

6d ago1:00

1:00

In the wake of America’s bombing Iran’s nuclear sites, too many partisans and ideologues have broadcast misplaced objections—saying it was imprudent, didn’t comport with our (or their) foreign policy, and was unconstitutional. Such malcontents don’t need a gut-check, they need a morality check …and a fact-check. The same Democrats who say this viol…

Albert Mohler: Sanity Prevails 1:00

6d ago1:00

1:00

We saw a win for sanity at the Supreme Court last week as a 6-3 majority of the justices sided with the state of Tennessee in the states ban on so-called transgender treatment for minors. Tennesseans had overwhelmingly adopted legislation that was challenged in the courts. And, last week, the court found that the law was NOT unconstitutional. The c…

Carol Platt Liebau: The Lefts Problem With Men 1:00

9d ago1:00

1:00

The New York Times “celebrated” Father’s Day in its own, inimitable way. Susannah Meadows, a senior staff editor in the opinion section, devoted an entire piece to trashing her ninety-two-year-old father. The essay is a lengthy litany of woe. Meadows tells us her father gave her financial anxiety and a genetic predisposition to melanoma . He was a …

Carol Platt Liebau: A Contrast of Crowds 1:00

10d ago1:00

1:00

Last Saturday, the Army celebrated its two hundred fiftieth birthday with a military parade on the national mall. The contrast with the No Kings rally, held the same day, couldn’t have been more striking. No Kings rallies seemed to be populated predominately by unhappy, aging baby boomers. You had to wonder whether, given their age, they were getti…

Seth Liebsohn: Seeing Iran Clearly 1:00

11d ago1:00

1:00

Those of us who have supported Donald Trump since 2015 need no lecture that Trump is abandoning his America First base when he stands by our nation’s greatest ally. It’s not we, Trump, or America who have loyalty problems. We never called Donald Trump “demonic” or said we “hated him passionately.” Neither Israel nor America is starting a war with I…

Ed Morrissey: Finish The Job 1:00

12d ago1:00

1:00

After decades of bad-faith talks, lies and state-sponsored terrorism aimed at the United States and our allies, Iran suddenly wants Donald Trump’s intervention on their behalf. On Monday, their foreign minister implored Trump to intervene to force Israel into a cease fire. “It takes one phone call from Washington,” he wrote on Twitter, “to muzzle s…

Seth Liebsohn: The World Should Be Thanking Israel 1:00

16d ago1:00

1:00

Iran turned down opportunity after opportunity to forgo its nuclear enrichment, and, just as the International Atomic Energy Agency reported Iran was in non-compliance with its non-proliferation obligations, yet again, Iran declared it was opening up yet another enrichment facility. All this as Iran’s leadership pledges to liquidate Israel. Iran ha…

Ed Morrissey: LA Politicians Fuel Riots Through Nullification 1:00

16d ago1:00

1:00

The basic duty of government is to maintain public order and safety while protecting the rights of its citizens. The government of Los Angeles and the state of California have failed miserably—and repeatedly—on both points. Mismanagement and dereliction of duty led to the destruction of the Palisades and Alta Dena in January. Actual malice today to…

Carol Platt Liebau: A Good Week for Religious Liberty 1:00

17d ago1:00

Religion had a good week at the Supreme Court. The justices ruled unanimously in favor of a Catholic group. They held that Wisconsin improperly discriminated based on religion when it denied Catholic Charities a tax exemption. Catholic Charities Bureau in Superior, Wisconsin, cares for disabled people. It was denied the tax exemption routinely give…

Seth Liebsohn: Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom Failed 1:00

18d ago1:00

1:00

“What is there to negotiate?!” California Governor Ronald Reagan responded, when a reporter asked him why he wouldn’t negotiate with rioters at Berkley in 1969. Quote “All of this started because people who know better told our young people they had the right to choose which laws they wanted to obey, and which they didn’t.” Los Angeles Mayor Karen …

Ed Morrissey: Democrats Let Their Revolution Flags Fly 1:00

19d ago1:00

1:00

One month ago, House Democrats started a melee at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Newark. That signaled radicals across the country to escalate, and Los Angeles agitators clearly got the message when ICE began enforcing the law in California. Gavin Newsom and mayor Karen Bass refused to intervene to protect federal law enforcemen…

Hugh Hewitt: A Big Beautiful Bill by the Fourth? 1:00

20d ago1:00

1:00

It was on January 5 of this year when President Trump—on my Salem program— said his preference was for “one big, beautiful bill.” And thus he started a snowball rolling down Congressional Hill and that gathered momentum and should be on his desk, perhaps by July 4, certainly not later than Labor Day. Trump willed H.R. 1 into being the way he willed…

Recent stories in the New York Times report on how Democrats are trying to regain lost constituencies. One reports that the Democrats have a “$20 million effort, that aims to reverse the erosion of Democratic support among young men….” promising to “study the syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces.” Let’s sav…

Ed Morrissey: Finally: Some Consequences to "Globalizing the Intifada" 1:00

24d ago1:00

1:00

The Free Palestine/Globalize the Intifada movement started after the October 7 attacks to promote Hamas’s cause—and it immediately took violent forms. For too long, the lack of response from progressive-elite prosecutors encouraged even more radical violence aimed at Jews. The lack of immediate and significant consequences created the impunity that…

Carol Platt Liebau: A Win for Trumps Immigration Policy at the Supreme Court 1:00

25d ago1:00

1:00

The Trump administration notched another win at the Supreme Court last week. The Court stayed a lower court’s ruling, which had blocked the president from revoking protected status to half a million migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. This decision paves the way for these immigrants to be removed from the United States. A district c…

Seth Liebsohn: The Democrats Have a Problem With Jew Hatred 1:00

26d ago1:00

1:00

The firebombing of Jews in Colorado comes in the wake of the arrest of an Islamist plotting to kill Jewish pre-schoolers in Michigan, which comes in the wake of two employees of the Israeli Embassy being gunned down in our nation’s capital, which comes in the wake of the firebombing of Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence when he and his family were t…

Carol Platt Liebau: A Judiciary Out of Control 1:00

27d ago1:00

1:00

It really has gotten out of control: Every federal district court judge effectively wields a veto over the president’s agenda. Here’s how it works: The left finds friendly judges and persuades them to place a nationwide injunction on a Trump policy. With that, the people’s will —expressed in the last election—is thwarted by an unelected judge. The …

In his tour for the book Original Sin, Jake Tapper has grudgingly admitted that the mainstream media missed a scandal that “may be worse than Watergate.” There is no “maybe” about it. Watergate was a criminal conspiracy to cover up a dirty political campaign trick. Bidengate involves the hijacking of the presidency itself, with a conspiracy that in…

1:00

In October 2023, special counsel Robert Hur interviewed Joe Biden about the classified documents found in his garage. Ultimately, Hur decided Biden had behaved illegally but declined to prosecute. He said Biden’s mental acuity was so poor that jurors would find it difficult to convict him of a crime requiring willful wrongdoing. Democrats attacked …

The dangerous world we are looking at today serves as an appropriate backdrop for our expression of gratitude for those who have died in the service of our nation. From the time of our nation’s founding to today, well over 1.2 million Americans have paid the ultimate price in the service of our country. Today is a day for us to say, “thank you.” It…

Here’s a question for all the journalists insisting they didn’t know about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline: Were you corrupt, stupid, or both? It’s been obvious to everyone for a very long time that the former president was struggling to fulfill even the most basic duties of his office. Back when there were only a limited number of legacy media outle…

The assassin of two Israeli embassy workers at the Jewish Museum in Washington, DC was an active member of the Party of Socialism and Liberation. When arrested, he shouted “Free Palestine, Free Palestine!”—the same chant we’ve heard from left wingers and socialists on our college campuses. It shouldn’t be surprising: the Palestinian cause has alway…

Commentary after commentary has been arguing that there’s a rift between the United States and Israel, especially since removing Mike Walz as National Security Advisor, certain backs-and-forths over nuclear negotiations with Iran, and President Trump’s recent trip to Saudi Arabia. Such speculations are overblown. First, President Trump is the presi…

Even before this weekend, officials from Joe Biden’s administration struggled to answer allegations of a cover-up relating to Biden’s cognitive health.

Ed Martin was Donald Trump’s pick to serve as US Attorney for Washington DC — its top federal prosecutor. But he was blocked by Senate Republicans like Georgia’s Thom Tillis. Martin had vowed legal action against those who impeded DOGE’s effort and fired 30 prosecutors who’d worked on January the 6th cases. Perhaps Tillis thought stopping Martin’s …

Recently, Trump administration figures have sent mixed messages about the efforts to end the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

Can a revolution come as a pill? Over the past century we saw first the birth control pill. And—much more recently—we have the abortion pill.

Donald Trump has released an executive order requiring proof of citizenship to vote.

President Donald Trump marks “100 days” in this second term. He’s certainly been fast off the blocks. But I want to weigh in for just a bit on the judges. No: I’m not referring to the judiciary.
