Ed Morrissey: The Shenanigans Need to Stop

Democrats spent the last four years shrieking about the necessity of obeying the law and accepting election results to “save democracy.” And now—in Pennsylvania, Democrats had been openly flouting the law to include illegal ballots—and defeated Senate incumbent Bob Casey was supporting it. Several…

Carol Platt Liebau: Our 21st Century Potemkin Village

In 18th century Russia, Field Marshal Gregory Potemkin ordered the construction of pretty facades so Empress Catherine wouldn't see the true, grim state of newly annexed Crimea. They became known as “Potemkin villages.” Fast forward to 2024. Kamala Harris’s entire campaign was the modern-day equiv…

Seth Leibsohn: Look at Those Trump Appointments!

Look at those Trump appointments! It brings to mind the GOP convention in 1964, when Barry Goldwater said, “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice”—and an institutionalized journalist turned to his friend and said, “My gawd, he’s going to run as Goldwater!” Well, Donald Trump has run as a …

Hugh Hewitt: A Return to Peace Through Strength

There are so many takes on the 2024 election and so little time.  Over at Fox News I listed my top 10. Right now, I’ll just note one: Our national security. Americans know our national security is endangered by China-Russia-Iran-North Korea’s axis of dictators and we don’t like the prospect of b…

Carol Platt Liebau: America Is Seeing Through the Hitler Hoax

There’s a catchphrase in political and media commentary: Never go full Hitler. Comparing anyone to Hitler is over the top, given the historical depth of Hitler’s evil. But Democrats and the legacy media did it. They went full Hitler on Trump—comparing our next president to the Führer. Look no fur…

Carol Platt Liebau: Good Riddance

There are many reasons to celebrate Donald Trump’s victory, but perhaps none greater than this: It marks the end of the Obama era. We’ve heard a lot about “norms” in recent years. No one broke a bigger “norm” than Obama in 2016. Rather than leaving the nation’s capitol like every other president, …

Hugh Hewitt: Congratulations to President Trump

Congratulations to President-Elect Trump, the most unlikely figure in American history in many a generation and one who will be fascinating biographers and historians for decades and decades to come. If you are shocked, blame legacy media and the deeply dysfunctional blue bubble which Team Trump s…

Carol Platt Liebau: A Clear Cut and Indisputable Mandate

Well, he did it. In one of history’s great political comebacks, redemption arcs and hero’s journeys, Donald Trump has risen like the phoenix to reclaim The White House. Beyond the sheer triumph of the human spirit, Trump’s victory represents a stunning repudiation of legacy media and the permanent…

Seth Leibsohn: Could It Be Morning in America Again

We won!  Common sense and moderacy and the repudiation of socialism won.  This is a week of celebration, with a parallel to V-E Day; for on V-E Day an ideology was also defeated …. but this time the mechanism was ballots and not bullets.  Yes, what we’ve been watching—slowly and steadily and unap…

Ed Morrissey: An American Mandate Against Lawfare

We just witnessed the greatest comeback in American political history. I’m not talking about Donald Trump, although it certainly applies to him too. I’m talking about the American people and their mandate to end lawfare as a political tool. Democrats spent the last two years piling indictment afte…
