The 'Russians did it' BS

First, it was the utter shock to liberals that Donald Trump won the presidency. Second, it was the persistent denial that it actually happened. Then, there came a series of distractions about the results of the election to cast doubt on the results, and to try and de-legitimize the election of Trump.

Positive tone from the top

Even though President-elect Donald Trump has not been sworn in yet, there appears to be a lot of optimism about things to come from his administration.

What Andy Puzder and I understand about the value of labor

When Donald Trump announced his choice of Andy Puzder to serve as Secretary of Labor, the predictable response from the left and its media megaphones was that Puzder is “anti-worker” because he has never had much use for unions, and because he doesn’t believe the federal government should be setting the cost of labor artificially high.

Recounts shows Trump's lead increasing in Wisconsin

At this rate, maybe we should have a recount in California too. Trump might pick up an extra 55 electoral votes. Maybe he won the meaningless national popular vote after all.

End anti-growth, anti-business policies . . . so no more Carrier interventions are necessary

I understand why a lot of conservatives are squeamish about the deal Donald Trump made to prevent the move of 1,000 Carrier jobs from Indiana to Mexico. We don’t like politicians intervening in business decisions. We’re not the biggest fans of special tax incentives that give one business breaks others don’t get. We tend to call that crony capitalism.

The Herman Cain Radio Show will be loud and strong in 2017

Whoa! Comments on this site suggest there is some confusion about the status of my radio show, with some people having the impression that it's going away.

Now is the moment: Replace the tax code

You have to say this for Democrats: When Barack Obama was elected in 2008 with decisive majorities in both the House and Senate, they recognized the power of the moment and the unique opportunity they had.

Liberal Charles Kaiser brings his racist crap to CNN

Why do some Americans have such inaccurate perceptions about certain things? Maybe it’s because of people like Charles Kaiser. During a CNN segment last Tuesday, Kaiser, a supposedly very prominent left-wing author, was criticizing Steve Bannon and decided to take his criticism a bit too far, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Democrats, you are still not listening

Two weeks after Donald Trump was elected the next president of the United States, the Democrats and media are still fuming over the loss, disappointed that Hillary didn't win in order to continue the status quo. They are disgusted and full of toxic name-calling and rhetoric, and even worse, still not listening to the people.

Earth to Democrats: It's not about race!

Normal Americans are thinking about their paychecks, their job security, their health insurance, the price of goods and services and the safety of their children. Because they always do.

I know Steve Bannon, and none of this nonsense is true

We're certainly tossing the charge of racism around lightly these days. Not only is half the country apparently racist for voting for Donald Trump, but now the media and Democrats feel quite free to claim that new Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon is a white supremacist.

A mandate means you can . . . and you'd better

It seems like every time we elect a new president, there is debate about whether the winner was given a “mandate” by the voters. Supposedly this means they didn’t just elect him (or her), but did so in such a way as to confirm that they want him to aggressively pursue the implementation of his policies.

Trump wins! The people win!

On this day after the 2016 presidential election, I am more relieved than jubilant. I am relieved that the liberal media did not win with its persistent negative portrayal of Trump, and its persistent cover-up of Hillary Clinton.

America's future

The decision to vote, and for whom to vote, in this 2016 presidential election can be summed up in three ways. First, to not vote is not an option in my view. Rev. Dr. C. M. Alexander, pastor of Antioch Baptist Church North in Atlanta, gave the most compelling and succinct reason to vote. Namely, if you view this presidential election as voting for the lesser of two evils, don't commit the third evil by not voting.

Why I believe Trump can be a very good, and possibly great, president

I realize a lot of conservatives are wringing their hands about voting for Donald Trump. Some are doing so reluctantly to stop Hillary. Some remain in the #NeverTrump camp and are either voting third-party, writing someone in as a protest or not voting at all.

My special message to black voters

I spent about seven minutes on my radio show yesterday specifically addressing black voters. Hey. I am one! And my upbringing and background is really not that different from many other black voters.

The nine stages of ObamaCare failure

You know a Democrat idea is failing when they stop defending it and start blaming Republicans for the way things are turning out. So you know how bad things have gotten with ObamaCare. When all the Democrats can talk about is how those mean Republicans refuse to “fix” their horrible mistake, it’s clear this has become every bit the disaster some of us said it would back when they were cooking it up seven years ago.

Side by side, the Trump card shows what really matters

Now that the Republican and Democrat National Conventions are over, and the media are consumed with political noise and manipulated polls, it's time to focus on the big differences between Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

No, Hillary, the Supreme Court should not be against the wealthy

You probably didn’t hear much about it because all the media wanted to talk about was bad hombres and Donald Trump “not accepting the result” of the election, whatever that means. But during the third and final debate last week, Hillary Clinton made an astounding statement about the U.S. Supreme Court.

I've been there, and that's why I smell a rat with these Trump allegations

This all feels so familiar. I’ve gotten over it, but I’ll never forget it. It was November 2011, and I was leading the polls in the Republican nomination race. My 9-9-9 tax play was attracting national attention and interest in my candidacy was as its height.
