Former President Trump and the Republicans have an opportunity, indeed their first opportunity, to fundamentally change the presidential race in ways that would have been hard to do before Saturday’s tragic assassination attempt on a former president. If Trump, as he has stated, changes the tone and register of his RNC convention speech away from...

I'm open to being surprised by JD Vance, Trump's somewhat predictable VP pick
In a week filled with giant news surprises, I find myself once again surprised that former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick wasn’t more surprising.In the end, the bread crumbs were real, not some reality-show head fake, as Trump chose 39-year-old Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio to be his running mate. The young senator,...
Without a border, immigrant crime can hit everywhere
The radical anti-borders contingent insists that illegal aliens commit crimes at a lower rate than U.S. citizens and legal immigrants. On its face, that assertion is false. Entering the U.S. without inspection and authorization by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is a crime under 8 U.S. Code Section 1325. After committing the crime of...
Preserving the strength of our nation starts at home
Strong families are the cornerstone of strong communities that build a stronger nation. Unfortunately, our families are in peril. Widespread divorce rates, the erosion of traditional marriage, radical ideologies, attacks on faith, and government interference in our daily lives are breaking down the family and the country we love. As I discussed with former U.S....
Melania Trump's call to 'ascend above the hate' should be rallying cry for all Americans
Two days before the opening of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, an assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump shocked the nation. The picture of a bloodied Trump pumping his fist in the air as Secret Service agents rush him off the stage will be indelibly burned into American minds for a very...
Hard-Left's 'Hitler' rhetoric has deadly consequences
It’s long been a staple of the stump speech for President Joe Biden to compare Donald Trump and his supporters to the Nazis, and his fellow Democrats and the liberal media eagerly amplify the ratcheted-up rhetoric. Now, sadly but predictably, this kind of talk has gotten somebody killed. Most people believe that killing Hitler would...
RNC, Trump must go on with convention, just as Thatcher did when she narrowly escaped assassination attempt
Sunday morning on NBC, former Biden White House Communications Director Jen Psaki, now a host on MSNBC, made an extraordinary and inflammatory demand. Looking ahead to the GOP Convention in Milwaukee that begins on Monday, she claimed that “Unless the programming changes, the rhetoric and how the programming is set up is not actually calming...
GOP united behind Trump while Dems in disarray
The 43rd Republican National Convention kicks off Monday. Since the first, in 1856 at a concert hall in Philadelphia, the Grand Old Party has picked the winner 24 times. Delegates are bullish this year will mark the 25th. Their confidence and unity entering the big week contrasted sharply with the party of the sitting president...
Fact check: Biden has never been good, decent or honest
It is a talking point we’ve heard ad nauseam since the President Joe Biden debate debacle in Atlanta and one we can expect to hear even more should Democrat power brokers convince the “Big Guy” to step aside for the good of the nation. Paraphrasing: Joe Biden is a decent/good/honest man who has enjoyed a...
The real question is not if President Biden can win an election
Since his disastrous debate two weeks ago, the evidence against President Joe Biden has only mounted, as the truth about the cordon that hides him from the world leaks out. The question the world should be asking is not if Biden can defeat a Democratic insurrection and remain his party’s Presidential nominee. Nor is it...
