Word games can’t conceal results

Politically incorrect words don’t kill, but Venezuelan gangs do. On Saturday, former President Donald Trump warned rallygoers in a small Wisconsin town that if Vice President Kamal Harris “is reelected, your town and every town ... will be transformed into a Third World hell-hole. “ Trump repeatedly warns that Biden-Harris open borders are turning New York into a “Third World nation” and America into a “Third World” disaster. Left-wing elites are apoplectic over Trump’s use of “Third World.” Never mind the violence perpetrated by migrant gangs and the societal ...

How are Trump, Harris neck-and-neck?

With less than 40 days until Election Day, how can it be that Trump has taken a small lead in Arizona and Georgia — two swing states he lost to Biden in 2020? How can he now be essentially tied with her in the other key swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin? More generally, how can Trump have chiseled away Harris’ advantage from early August? How is it possible that more voters appear to view Trump favorably now than they did several months ago when he was in the race against Biden? How can Trump — the sleaziest person ever to run for president, who has already been ...

VP Kamala Harris visits the ‘BINO’

Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit last Friday to a border region in Arizona takes political cynicism to a new low. It is like hoping to score political points by visiting the relative of someone who has been murdered by a man your policies caused to be let out of jail despite his criminal record that includes repeated offenses. After being assigned the role of controlling the border by President Biden early in their term and then doing very little to stem the flood of migrants into the U.S., Harris now wants us to believe she is serious and has seen the light. Her proposal is what ...

Bottom line on border: It’s already orderly

There were fewer arrests at the Southern border in July than in the last month of the Trump presidency. Shelters have seen a massive drop in migrants. And Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is having a hard time finding enough recent arrivals to fill buses headed north. The reason for this development is President Joe Biden’s new border policy, which basically stopped migrants from asking for asylum if they crossed the border illegally. Vice President Kamala Harris just called for even tighter restrictions. Still the specter of uncontrolled immigration, even when that’s no longer the case, ...

Why Jews should reject Trump

Dear Fellow Jewish American, I beg you to consider the consequences of a Trump victory. In the aftermath of Oct. 7, we’ve seen an ugly new chapter in left-wing antisemitism. Left-wing activists on campuses and elsewhere adorned their posters with images of hang gliders, delighting, one must assume, in the acts committed when those gliders touched down. They ripped down posters of hostages. They refused for months to acknowledge the brutal rapes of Israeli women and girls (so much for “believe all women”). While the plight of the Palestinians has been a progressive cause for ...

Iranian inanity comes home to roost

In June 2006, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., was asked in Boston what the Democrats’ plan was for dealing with Iran, designated even then by our State Department as the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism and well on its way to acquiring nuclear weapons. “I don’t know,” Durbin replied. “With any luck Israel will do something about it, and we’ll all blame Israel.” When the Obama White House was fairly begging Iran for a deal to temporarily slow Iran’s race to obtain those weapons in 2015, critics of the proposed deal pointed out that what the administration was ...
