It is hard to imagine a bigger waste of prime-time TV than President Biden’s address at 7 p.m. six days before Election Day. Once again, the president set out to alarm the nation that our democracy is in peril, even as reports roll in from all over the country that early voting is at record levels and […]
“Dumb and Dumber” is a 1994 comedy; today it could describe a tragedy … Joe Biden’s energy policy. His latest gambit is to call for a windfall profits tax on oil companies, accusing them of “war profiteering.” He says the large earnings being raked in by oil giants like Exxon and Chevron “are not because […]
While all eyes are on critical senate races in Pennsylvania and Georgia, possible GOP wins in gubernatorial races may prove equally consequential, and surprising. When deep blue Oregon, which Joe Biden carried by 16 points in 2020, appears likely to elect Christine Drazen, their first Republican governor in nearly 40 years, something is up. Republicans taking control […]
Several months ago, Democrats rolled the dice. They chose the issues they thought would help them prevail in the midterm elections, and they chose badly. Some of their decisions were, to be fair, inescapable. When the Supreme Court handed down its startling decision on Roe v. Wade, Democrats grasped the opportunity to burrow in on […]
Republican Governors Ron DeSantis, Doug Ducey and Greg Abbott have done Americans a great service by publicizing the humanitarian and national security crisis at our southern border. They have, by sending migrants to Democrat-run cities like New York and Chicago, and elitist encampments like Martha’s Vineyard, exposed the lawlessness and hypocrisy of liberal Democrats who […]
Unhappily, Truss’s economic agenda was poorly presented by a novice finance minister, who was quickly ousted, but the damage done to her credibility made her continued leadership impossible. The Truss affair will go down as a lesson on fiscal sobriety, but cutting spending will not be part of the teachings. That is a tragedy. […]
Bring back the Tea Party! Remember the raucous group that rose up to protest the 2008 bank bailouts and ballooning of our national debt during the financial crisis? That actually convinced Congress to reduce government spending, earning the scorn of the liberal media and President Barack Obama? We need those voices again, demanding to know: Where […]
President Biden is very upset with Saudi Arabia. He asked the Arab state to help him out by delaying a cut in OPEC+ production targets until after the midterm elections, and the kingdom turned him down. There will be, Biden warned, “consequences.” Of course, that’s not how the White House is spinning the story. Contradicting reporting […]
President Biden is pulling rabbits out of hats, targeting one voter group after another. Just lately, he went after the pothead vote. The president’s most recent act of desperation as he tries to avoid a rout in the midterm elections is to pardon people who are in federal prison for pot possession. “No one should […]
Are you better off than you were four years ago? That was the question Ronald Reagan famously asked Americans in his one and only debate with Jimmy Carter in the fall of 1980. Soon thereafter, voters responded with a thunderous “No!” and turned the Democrat incumbent president out of office. Reagan won in a landslide, capturing 44 […]
