Trump's right: The media's rigged the game . . . but he has to overcome it

I could feel Donald Trump’s frustration from thousands of miles away. I’d been there. In the course of a campaign for president, you say something that isn’t as clear as it could be. The political class calls statements like this “inartful” for some reason. You know what you meant. It’s easy enough to explain it.

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.

Relax: A moment in time doesn't determine what will happen in November

Presidential campaigns have very high points, very low points and lots of slogging in between. I can certainly tell you about that. And the past week saw more than a few rough spots for Donald Trump, whose failure to be measured in the things he said gave his media enemies the perfect excuse to paint him as erratic and out of control.

Science confirms: Laughter really is the best medicine

I suppose the last thing we need is for someone to take laughter and make it all serious, but I want you to know what a lot of serious scholars are starting to recognize: Laughing is good for you. It makes you healthier, more relaxed and less tense. It relieves stress. It even boosts your immune system!

If only that shrieking Hillary speech had anything to do with reality

Once she got past the platitudes, Hillary Clinton spun quite a tale on Thursday night about the realities of modern-day America. She’s not as skillful a liar as her husband, but I suppose anyone interested in lying would do so pretty confidently if they were sure they would not get called out for the lies.

Where's the beef?

"Where's the beef?" was a very popular and memorable advertising theme for Wendy's three decades ago. It highlighted the amount of beef in its burgers versus the competition.

I saw Dinesh D'Souza's Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party

This past Saturday night, my wife Gloria and I were honored to accompany Dinesh D'Souza and his wife to a special screening of his film, Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, as a theater in the Atlanta area.

Trump showed at RNC he's approaching the presidency like a smart CEO

One of the reasons I’ve been favorably inclined toward Donald Trump’s candidacy right from the start is that he saw something I saw when I ran four years ago. America needs a president who understands executive decision-making.

Why I talked about peace through strength with clarity

When I ran for president, I summed up my thinking on foreign policy with the term “peace through strength with clarity.” To help demonstrate what this meant, we created a map that clearly labeled certain nations. Britain was a friend. Russia was a rival. Various nations in the Middle East represented threats.

What you missed in my one-on-one interview this morning with Donald Trump

In case you missed it, Donald Trump was my guest during the 11 a.m. hour of The Herman Cain Show this morning. We'll have the audio posted later on today but I want you to know the high points of the discussion we had.

Mark Kaye presents . . . The Hillary Clinton Song

Mark Kaye is my Cox Media Group colleague out of Jacksonville, and he is hilarious every day. But never more so than on this video, which captures the essence of Hillary Clinton and that guy she's married to if anything ever did.

Deconstructing the logic of the Hillary voter

I know many of you are going to vote for Hillary Clinton for president, because she is a woman. That's a shallow gender-biased reason but that's your choice.

What to do (and not do) after a week of tragedies

Tragedies happen all the time, but the tragedies last week left so many of us asking more questions than there are answers.

New study: U.S. brimming with oil reserves, but . . .

A new study shows that the United States has more energy reserves than Saudi Arabia or Russia. Most of it is still in the ground, but if we would bother to extract it, we would be truly energy-independent for the first time in our history.

Newt for vice president

There is no doubt Donald Trump will decide on his running mate without trying to appease a particular political faction. There is also no doubt that he is considering several great alternatives as speculation continues to grow, and that he is listening to some of his most trusted advisors and others.

That post-Brexit freakout didn't take with the financial markets

The day after British voters decided to leave the European Union, we were barraged with media stories about how the sky was falling. And nowhere did they turn to support their case more so than the plunging financial markets.

That day when Herman, Shane, Ashley and Jared amused themselves by weirding people out

In a sea of news negativity, people need to find things to laugh about. Life is not over because of a tragedy, it happens to all of us. Mourn, recover and go on.

George Will crosses the line of reason

The well known conservative writer and TV commentator George Will has finally crossed the line of reason. He's leaving the Republican Party because of Donald Trump.

Brexit bottom line: EU worked for the elite, but not for the British people

To listen to the howling and wailing from the political and media elites, you’d think the British people were forcing their government to close all the hospitals and burn all the schools down. The reaction to Britain’s exit from the European Union has been that over-the-top hysterical.

Media have no idea why Corey Lewandowski has parted ways with Trump campaign

Political media are always obsessed with the so-called inside baseball of what goes on behind the scenes in campaigns. And while they often have no idea what's really going on, or why, that won't stop them from engaging in baseless speculation and trying to convince you they know things they really don't.
