The latest Economist poll asked a very interesting question: “Do you feel that things in this country these days are under control or out of control?” Nearly 70% of Americans said our country is “out of control.” They’re right. Everywhere we look, things are out of control. Boys claiming to be girls are invading our daughters’ locker rooms and bathrooms. Millions of people from all over the world are invading our country across our wide-open borders. Crime in our major cities is forcing many businesses to close. The economy is so bad that many young Americans can’t afford to… Read More

Watching the disgusting outbursts of anti-Semitism on our college campuses lately has been deeply disturbing. Even worse has been the cowardice of too many university presidents and the silence from the president of the United States. Yet as the sun rose this morning, there were signs of bravery and courage reasserting themselves. (Here and here.) But the biggest sign of American renewal was at UCLA, where Jewish students have been verbally accosted and physically assaulted. When Passover ended last night, Jewish students and volunteers from the surrounding community decided to take… Read More

Another deadline for campus protesters at Columbia University to disperse expired yesterday afternoon. When the university warned that the remaining students at the “Gaza Solidary Encampment” faced suspension, the student radicals took note and moved. They forcibly occupied Hamilton Hall, which is a historic building. It is named after Alexander Hamilton. It has Tiffany stained-glass windows of the Roman poet Virgil and the Greek playwright Sophocles. Hamilton Hall was also the site of a famous student takeover in 1968 by actual anti-war students. Today’s occupiers of Hamilton Hall… Read More

I have been reading recently how radical Islamists set out to capture American universities over the past few decades. (Here and here.) They saw “higher education” as a way to influence debate and policy and a way they could “win” over the long term. Billions of dollars poured into American institutions to fund new departments and programs focused on the Middle East and Islamic Studies. Of course, the great majority of these professors espouse anti-Israel views. Communist China has had a decades old program to take over American universities. Beijing put Confucius Institutes on more… Read More

As is often the case, the media headlines regarding yesterday’s Supreme Court arguments over presidential immunity were contradictory. Consider these dueling headlines from the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal: “High Court Poised To Reject Trump’s Immunity Claim” (Washington Post) “Justices Seem Open To Some Immunity For Trump” (Wall Street Journal) As I suggested yesterday, the truth is likely somewhere in between.

The anti-Semitic protesters on hundreds of U.S. campuses spring from the same diseased root as the Hitler Youth. Let me explain. Adolf Hitler organized and radicalized German youth, indoctrinating them in Nazi ideology from elementary school to college. Today, American children at every level are being indoctrinated in the leftist ideologies of critical race theory (CRT), so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI), and gender theory. Don’t forget what the word Nazi means. It’s an acronym for “National Socialism.” So, German Nazis were socialists, which is also the prevailing… Read More

The pro-Hamas demonstrations at Columbia were just given the green light by the university’s leadership. After giving the extremists a midnight deadline to clear out, the administration announced that they can stay for 48 more hours while negotiations continue.  Negotiations about what? What demands from these haters is the university willing to entertain? No one at the negotiating table represents the American people. Some are asking, “Well, what can the administration really do?” I have plenty of suggestions.

Here’s what Joe Biden said when he was asked about the Jew-hatred sweeping our elite universities: “I condemn the antisemitic protests. That’s why I have set up a program to deal with that. I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.” As a reminder, Biden’s “program” to deal with anti-Semitism included the Jew-haters at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR’s director supported the October 7th Hamas massacre. More importantly, Joe Biden just did what he has repeatedly lied about Donald Trump doing in Charlottesville.

New York City Police had just barely finished clearing out the pro-Hamas encampment at Columbia University last week when the radical anti-Semites and America-haters returned with reinforcements. We can’t just shrug our shoulders at this. What is happening at Columbia transcends foreign policy and partisan politics. It is not your typical leftist college protest over some obscure cause no one has ever heard of. What is happening at our elite universities has nothing to do with Israel. It’s raw anti-Semitism. It is blatant Jew-hatred by Hitler’s ideological heirs, who are yearning for… Read More

As you know, Iran fired 300 drones and ballistic missiles at Israel last week, hoping to kill thousands of innocent Israelis. Joe Biden told Israel not to escalate the situation. Israel just had 300 missiles fired at it. What exactly is escalation? Firing 301 missiles in response?  Israeli leaders wanted to respond immediately, but Biden was already telling Israel, “Don’t.” There are reports that the same message was being communicated last night when Israel launched what appears to be a relatively minor counterstrike. There’s another story being reported this morning with glee by… Read More

Chuck Schumer and his fellow Democrats made a total sham out of the Senate yesterday. Rather than take seriously their oaths to uphold the Constitution and seriously consider the articles of impeachment passed by the House of Representatives against Homeland Insecurity Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Schumer and every other Democrat simply dismissed them. It was the first time in the history of our Republic that the Senate refused its constitutional obligation to act as a court of trial in an impeachment case.

Many Americans are infuriated by the obvious lawfare campaign the left has been waging against Donald Trump. Legal experts and professors of constitutional law say these cases are weak and abusive. It’s the stuff of banana republics. But to actually watch it play out in real time in a Manhattan courtroom makes me furious. As I noted yesterday, Hillary Clinton did essentially the exact same thing and was never prosecuted. If we’re going to start prosecuting so-called “hush money” cases, let’s start with Congress!

Demonstrations erupted all over the United States yesterday.  Protesters shut down the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. They shut down O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. They blocked IRS offices and burned American flags in New York City. They blocked streets in Philadelphia and major interstates in other cities. Everywhere, it was the same group of radical Muslims and their radical neo-Marxist allies. Just as we were shocked when these barbarians went into the streets protesting against Israel and cheering Hamas after the horrific October 7th massacre, they were celebrating… Read More

Once again, the Islamic Republic of Iran demonstrated who and what they are when Tehran launched hundreds of missiles and drones against Israel this weekend. They are terrorists dedicated to the destruction of Israel, the United States, and Western Civilization. When you have a strong president like Donald Trump, the mullahs of Iran are contained. When you have a weak president like Joe Biden, who thinks foreign policy is going to a microphone and saying, “Don’t,” the mullahs don’t care. One-word warnings are not a believable foreign policy. Joe Biden has given Iran billions of dollars… Read More

Today’s neo-Marxist Democrat Party is committed to waging lawfare to crush, imprison, intimidate, and bankrupt their political opponents -- us. They are obviously doing it to Donald Trump. But every week there are other examples of how they are doing it to other normal citizens, elected conservatives, and the heads of conservative organizations fighting for conservative values.

Former President Trump was campaigning in Georgia yesterday when he made an unscheduled stop at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Atlanta. What happened next caused leftist heads to explode everywhere. We saw the real Donald Trump, not the monster the media says he is. Trump wasn’t screamed at or booed out of the restaurant. Quite the opposite. He received a great reception from the customers and staff, many of whom were minorities, and they were very excited to see him.

The consumer price index, a key measure of inflation, rose 0.4% last month, more than expected. Inflation now stands at 3.5%. While 0.4% might not seem like much, it would be 4.8% for the year if it continues rising at that pace, far from the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. The Biden White House and its left-wing media allies will try to gaslight you into believing that the economy is really great. It’s not. And this is a really big deal.

The Biden Justice Department is vehemently refusing to turn over audio of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Joe Biden. Attorney General Merrick Garland missed yesterday’s deadline to hand the audio over to congressional investigators. All the department provided was a transcript of Hur’s interview with Biden’s ghostwriter. The stubborn refusal to comply with congressional subpoenas demonstrates the utter contempt this administration has for Congress and the rule of law.

Former President Donald Trump issued a statement this morning on his Truth Social platform outlining his position on abortion. The statement was necessary because the Biden campaign believes they can defeat Trump, take back the House and hold the Senate if they can convince the public that Trump would outlaw all abortions. No matter what he said, it was guaranteed that someone would be disappointed. Trump made it clear that he is pro-life, with exceptions for rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother. That is the same position Ronald Reagan held.

What is happening right now to the U.S.-Israel alliance is a monumental shift in the wrong direction at the worst possible time. Israel and the United States have the same enemy. That enemy is the Islamic Republic of Iran. Never forget that Iran calls America, not Israel, “the Great Satan.” But when Joe Biden was Barack Obama’s vice president, they undermined Israel and empowered Iran.  Donald Trump reversed that. But now Biden is undermining Israel and empowering Iran again.  Only this time, it’s more dangerous than ever.

There is a shocking report from Caroline Glick of the Jewish News Syndicate regarding the recent protests that have erupted in Israel. According to Glick, one of the protest leaders indicated in a WhatsApp group chat that he has been communicating with officials in the Biden administration. He then went on to explain that the Biden White House has a “four-part plan” to bring down the Netanyahu government. Predictably, a key element of that plan involves massive protests in the streets to make it look like “the nation in Israel [is] fighting the government of Israel.” Consider what we… Read More

During the 2020 “Summer of Love,” so-called “autonomous zones” sprouted up in various progressive cities. Left-wing radicals took over parts of a city and declared them to no longer be covered by U.S. law, while progressive politicians did absolutely nothing. Predictably, businesses were destroyed, and people were killed. Well, far-left radicals just established a new autonomous zone in New York City. You can learn everything you need to know from their agenda. It’s a bizarre coalition of Hamas sympathizers and transgender activists. Only in Biden’s America! You may laugh, but it’s… Read More

The understandable controversy regarding Joe Biden’s smear of Easter Sunday was the timing of his “Transgender Day of Visibility” proclamation, which he released on Good Friday. But, by itself, that misses the main point.  What did Biden’s proclamation actually say? It was two pages long and more than 630 words. The content of that proclamation is a good marker of what Biden’s agenda is and what a second term would look like. It is clear that the purpose of the proclamation is not to provide aid and comfort to individuals, and particularly children, who are suffering from gender… Read More

Sadly, this will be an Easter forever burned into the heart of Stephanie Diller. She buried her police officer husband, Jonathan Diller, shot by a vile thug who should not have been on the streets. In a deeply moving eulogy, Stephanie fell back on the values of family and faith. She shared with the mourners what a wonderful husband her slain hero was and the pride on his face when their son, Ryan, was born one year ago. But Stephanie Diller also called out the leftist politicians who wanted to come to the funeral, even though they also have Jonathan’s blood on their hands. “How many… Read More

There has been plenty of bad news lately. The invasion of our southern border continues unabated. Israel is under siege. Anti-Semitism is on the rise. The war in Ukraine rages on, as does the left’s unrelenting assault on our values. But today, on Good Friday, we focus on the perfect Lamb, the truth of scripture and exactly what it is that we as Christians are celebrating. (Hint: It’s not chocolate bunnies, spiral hams or marshmallow chicks!)

Every day we get another example of the growing disconnect between normal Americans and the “governing class” who are infected with globalism, neo-Marxism, and moral relativism. On Monday, New York Police Officer Jonathan Diller made a common traffic stop. It turned out to be anything but routine. Diller was shot and killed by a vile thug who had more than 20 prior arrests, including some for violent offenses. Officer Diller leaves behind a wife and a one year-old son. Like the death of Laken Riley, murdered by an illegal alien who never should have been in the country, Diller was… Read More

Well, that didn’t last long. On Friday, NBC News announced that it had hired former RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel to be a conservative voice on the network. She was immediately savaged by the network’s leading hosts. Facing a major rebellion, NBC’s leadership reversed course and fired McDaniel yesterday. MSNBC has more neo-Marxist commentators than any media outlet since Pravda. It is the leading proponent of the idea that conservatives and Trump are threats to our democracy. It was also the leading promoter of election denial -- the Russia collusion hoax. Once again, it… Read More

A cargo ship on its way out of Baltimore Harbor lost power, lost backup power, and then crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing its collapse and the loss of life. Baltimore police and rescue officials immediately assured us there was no evidence of terrorism or foul play. Accidents do happen. But. . . We have been informed in recent months by multiple federal agencies that communist Chinese operatives are attempting to hack into America’s critical infrastructure, including the electrical grid, water plants, and ports. We are now replacing many port cranes made in communist… Read More

Former RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel was “shown the door” at the Republican National Committee and promptly landed on her feet – at NBC/MSNBC. What should we conclude from her signing up with the most anti-conservative, anti-Trump network?  That’s easy. Her heart was never really with us. In her first interview yesterday on “Meet The Press,” McDaniel rejected the idea that Biden’s election was the result of fraud. RNC members who repeatedly voted for her in spite of conservative opposition owe us all an apology.

Hundreds of illegal aliens massed outside of El Paso, Texas, and marched toward our border. Members of the Texas National Guard attempted to block them, but the mob attacked our troops and stampeded over the border. The fact that these illegal aliens felt they could get away with this assault on our country is proof of just how much Joe Biden has weakened our country. Some say we need more workers, so they turn a blind eye to this invasion.  Well, do we need more squatters invading our homes?
