It is a truism that does not get talked about enough, but is innately part of being a conservative, or really a person of any ideological conviction -- worldview matters.

Those of us on the right have long understood this.

If, for example, a person is an atheist who believes there is no eternal judgment, Heaven or Hell, their convictions ...Read more

The 2024 election results certainly came as a surprise to the national media. They spent the last few weeks of the campaign wildly speculating about how Donald Trump wouldn't accept the results and it would be complete chaos. Instead, Trump won the popular vote, and they all had to follow their own norms and accept the results in an orderly ...Read more

While all eyes are on Mar-a-Lago and the goons Trump is nominating to besmirch high government offices, there is another potential threat looming to the rule of law, and it comes not from MAGAworld but from the sitting president. I'm referring to the possibility that President Joe Biden might pardon his son Hunter Biden.

Did anyone expect, when they heard the candidate's announcement at the base of the Trump Tower escalator in June 2015, that nine years later, he would be elected to a second term with sharp increases in Republican percentages from nonwhite people -- Latinos especially, but also Black and Asian people?

Opponents and commentators blandly call ...Read more

The S.E. Cupp column titled "Trump’s bad cabinet picks won’t help his voters" that just posted today has been revised to reflect Matt Gaetz withdrawing from consideration for attorney general. Grafs 10-12 have been updated.

The war in Ukraine is an American war for which the United States government should be ashamed and blamed.

It was initiated by President Joe Biden and then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, both of whom advised Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that if he rejected a peace treaty that his own government had freely negotiated and agreed ...Read more

Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural address, delivered as the Civil War neared its conclusion, set a tone for President-elect Donald Trump to emulate during his second occupancy of the White House, beginning Jan. 20, 2025. The words still resonate: "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see...Read more

At now-President-elect Donald Trump's 2024 campaign rallies, attendees would hold "Trump Will Fix It" signs. Here's hoping the antitrust policy that President Joe Biden excessively politicized is one of those "its." Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance, previously said he believes that Biden's appointee as chair of the Federal Trade Commission,...Read more

Data analysts are already publishing available information about sex/gender, income, education and racial/ethnic breakdowns of Americans who voted for Kamala Harris versus those who voted for Donald Trump in the presidential election this year.

Another set of data explores the important relationship between religious beliefs and support for ...Read more

Isaac Newton's third law of motion famously states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction: If you push an object, for example, the object pushes back against you with equal force.

It turns out this isn't just a law of physics.

It's a law of politics.

President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet picks thus far have run the ...Read more

Pete Hegseth has a very fine mind -- a mind strategically informed by a superb military combat record and some 20 years of active duty and reserve Army service. Dodging bullets and crawling through mud at 0200 hours are physically grueling and mentally sobering experiences. A soldier learns firsthand spinmeisters in Congress and the faculty ...Read more

I pull the following directly from the summary of the 2024 annual reports of the Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees:

"The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund (that is, Social Security) will be able to pay 100 percent of total scheduled benefits until 2033, unchanged from last year's report. At that time, the fund's ...Read more

A construction worker, a fisherman and a woman walking by the United Nations were knifed to death in Manhattan in separate, random attacks on Monday by a blood-covered lunatic with a long rap sheet who should not have been loose on the streets.

Three lives lost. Three more reasons to rid this city of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

People eagerly give money to rich environmental groups. The Natural Resources Defense Council has $463 million in assets. It claims it uses law "to confront the climate crisis." What it really does is pay lawyers to torture people who try to do useful things. Example: America needs minerals like copper and silver to make things. Even President ...Read more

President Joe Biden met last week for the third time with Chinese President Xi Jinping -- the leader of a regime Biden's own administration has repeatedly declared is engaging in genocide.

No White House statement about any of these three meetings has indicated that Biden specifically made this genocide an issue with Xi.

The day before Biden...Read more

Last month, ABC anchor Martha Raddatz was mocked by J.D. Vance when she tried to minimize the threat of gangs in Colorado taking over apartment buildings by force. "The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes," she said. It's too bad for you if you lived in one of those buildings.

"Do you hear yourself?" Vance asked.

That's ...Read more

President-elect Donald Trump's win two weeks ago in Pennsylvania was always right in front of you if you were objectively listening to the concerns of the people and the data showing the most important, misread trend of all: The Republican Party had now become the party of work.

SAN DIEGO -- I knew this moment would come. But somehow, I thought it would feel bigger. And happier.

As it is, I just feel sad. I'm like a disillusioned Michael Corleone tightly hugging his brother Fredo in "The Godfather."

Only, for me, it's an ambitious but rudderless 53-year-old Cuban American senator from Florida who has disappointed me...Read more
