In a variety of ways, big and small, Democrats are working hard to get President Trump reelected. The best covered example of Democrats' misguided plans is the impeachment circus in Washington, which has proven to one and all that the party puts politics ahead of progress every time. But while that grand show plays out on the national stage, Democrats are upsetting voters in swing states on more local levels. Their recent push for gun control in Virginia has created an explosion of anti-Democrat feeling in the state. Second Amendment supporters rallied in Virginia in massive numbers … [Read more...]

Votes, like politics, are a lagging indicator. If you stir the pot and rile up enough voters, they’ll make sure to see you at the polls in a couple of months. That might be the best news for President Trump as we’re learning that Virginia is for (gun) lovers. Monday’s peaceful pro-Second Amendment rally in Richmond showed America that more than 20,000 supporters (of your constitutional right to bear arms and protect your family) are now motivated voters. Look out, because they’ll be telling everyone they know how great it was to be with brothers in arms on Monday. Talk about the power of … [Read more...]

You meet a lot of people when you ski, especially on a crowded holiday weekend like this last one. We shared a chair with two brothers from Vermont who were none-too-pleased with Bernie Sanders. “He’ll give the whole state away if he can,” said one of the brothers. The other nodded, “Yup.” There was an excellent essay in Saturday’s WSJ: “Boomer Socialism Led to Bernie Sanders: Government policies limit millennials’ prosperity, Harvard economist Edward Glaeser argues. Will they realize more of the same isn’t the answer?” Mene Ukueberuwa wrote: Mr. Glaeser, 52, argues that young people have … [Read more...]

“The claim that Major General Qassem Soleimani was a ‘terrorist' on a mission to carry out an 'imminent’ attack that would kill hundreds of Americans turned out to be a lie,” writes Philip Giraldi at LewRockwell.com, “so why should one believe anything else relating to recent developments in Iran and Iraq?” No doubt Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 departing from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport on Jan 8 with 176 passengers and crew on board was shot down by Iranian air defenses, but, Giraldi writes “there just might be considerably more to the story involving cyberwarfare … [Read more...]

From his Wonderland column in The Wall Street Journal, Daniel Henninger reminds readers of the American political theory that "if black support for Republicans ever reached 20% of the total vote, a Democratic presidential candidate would not be able to win, ever." Henninger also notes that three recent polls performed by Emerson, Marist, and Rasmussen have found support for the President among black voters near 30%. Henninger gives credit for this support to the President's economic policies, which have lowered black and Hispanic unemployment to all-time lows (see the chart below). … [Read more...]

“The Soviet ambassador to Britain, Ivan Maisky,” writes Victor Davis Hanson in The Second World Wars, “recorded a conversation in November 1939 he had with Lord Beaverbrook, who illustrated British fears just ten weeks into the war: ‘I’m an isolationist. What concerns me is the fate of the British Empire!’” As Hanson points out, Beaverbrook’s words were not that different from Hitler’s feelings about Britain. Hitler felt Britain should stay out of a European land war and keep its empire. Hitler felt Britain should make a deal with the Third Reich, believing both countries could keep their … [Read more...]

At The Washington Post, Glenn Kessler reports on a discrepancy in remarks recently from Joe Biden to Fox News's Peter Doocy. Kessler notes that Biden has trouble keeping his story straight on what was perhaps the Obama administration's biggest foreign policy win. He quotes the Fox News interview: FOX NEWS’S PETER DOOCY: “And to follow your remarks earlier, as commander in chief, if you were ever handed a piece of intelligence that said you could stop an imminent attack on Americans — but you have to use an airstrike to take out a terrorist leader — would you pull the trigger?” FORMER VICE … [Read more...]

The poor people of Puerto Rico endure more suffering of unimaginable consequence. Luis Valentin Ortiz reports for Reuters: Puerto Rico's power grid crept back to service on Wednesday after it was shut down entirely as a safety measure on Tuesday amid a storm of earthquakes including the most powerful to strike the Caribbean island in 102 years. The temblors including one of magnitude 6.4 killed at least one person and flattened homes across the southern coast, provoking a state of emergency on the island of 3 million people and the activation of the National Guard.
