Democrats self-examine, but not media

It’s been a week since Donald Trump’s landslide re-election and some Democrats are using words like “realignment,” “self-reflection” and “regret.” It seems most on the losing side are rethinking their far-left policies on immigration and the entire social agenda. Let’s wait and see, because for the left these are matters held as near-religious doctrines. One group apparently having no regrets, remorse or even self- reflection are the media, which overwhelmingly favored Kamala Harris for president. They can’t grasp that not everyone has the same worldview as theirs. ...

Voters wanted change. They got it

“It isn’t a hard choice,” we said. On one side was a candidate who would abide by the Constitution and laws of the United States and accept the outcome of elections. On the other was a candidate refusing to accept a 2024 defeat even as memories of his attempted coup in 2020 remain fresh; vowing to punish the “enemy within”; and promising that mass deportations will be “bloody.” That was what we meant by democracy being on the line. Some are coping by pointing out that when an incumbent president is as unpopular as Joe Biden, it’s a near impossibility for his party to ...

What you didn’t hear on election night

Here are some observations on what you didn’t hear on election night. Most networks’ focus was, quite properly, on whether former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris would carry enough of the 93 electoral votes of the seven target states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — to win the needed 270 electoral votes. Public polling, as reported and analyzed by websites such as RealClearPolitics and Silver Bulletin, had Trump ahead in most of the target states, but by microscopic percentages, and polling in both the 2016 ...

Which nations are the freest?

The ability to choose your job, start a business, own property or decide how to spend your paycheck may seem natural to most Americans. Yet for billions around the world, the most basic economic freedoms remain out of reach. The latest Economic Freedom of the World index, just released by the Fraser Institute, reminds us why freedom matters for everyone, whether you’re a factory worker in Michigan, a tech entrepreneur in Austin, or a farmer in Niger. Economic freedom isn’t just some wonky concept debated in academic halls. It’s about whether a government protects property rights ...

TB: The silent killer crossing border

Open borders allow deadly narcotics and criminal gangs to invade our country. But there’s a silent killer also making its way across the border: tuberculosis. America’s woke public health authorities are more concerned with equity — redistributing health resources among racial groups — than with keeping a disease the U.S. once nearly eradicated from becoming a threat again. Reported cases of TB shot up 34% from 2020 to 2023, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and continue to rise. More than three quarters of the cases are foreign-born people who ...

No need to wait to fix our problems

I write this on Election Day. People are freaking out. “A Second Trump Administration Would Be a Carnival of Corruption and Greed,” is a New York Times headline. “President Kamala Would Be a Disaster for the World,” says The Telegraph. Wait. Take a breath. Yes, Donald Trump is an awful man who only cares about himself. He’s scary reckless. But his first term wasn’t terrible. He did some good things. He resisted insane regulation. He didn’t start any new wars. Still, he grew government and grew our debt by almost 40%. Now he promises even higher tariffs. ...
