No, Hillary, making America great again is not 'going backward'

I'm accustomed to liberals and Democrats approaching issues by shifting the subject, ignoring the facts, and name-calling anyone who disagrees with them. It’s S.I.N.!

Obama tells U.S. forces they can kinda sorta help more with the fight

I seriously wonder if the war in Afghanistan will still be going on in another 15 years. Or another after that. We went in on October 7, 2001 - less than a month after the Twin Towers fell and expressly because the Taliban had aided and harbored Al Qaeda in the run-up to the attacks.

After Orlando, Obama is furious! But not at the shooter . . . he's mad at Donald Trump

You might have heard that President Obama went on a rant last week in the aftermath of the Orlando shooting. He was furious! He really let it all hang out.

The nonsense that is Mitt Romney's 'trickle-down racism' charge against Trump

Mitt Romney's latest attempt to discourage people from supporting Donald Trump is to say he will inspire "trickle-down racism." It's a catchy soundbite, but it's not true. And! I didn't want to do this, but now I feel compelled to illustrate what racism is and is not.

Obama by the numbers

“By almost every economic measure — every economic measure, America is better off when I — better off than when I came here. That is the truth. That’s true.” - President Obama June 1, 2016

No, Trump is not especially ideological . . . and that's not such a bad thing

If one theme is constant among conservative #NeverTrumpers, it’s that Donald Trump is not really a conservative. People cite his past support for things like single-payer health care and abortion rights, as well as his fondness for eminent domain – which he’s used to his advantage as a real estate developer.

Blank slate! (Tabula Rasa)

The late Jack Kemp, the Republicans' vice presidential nominee with Bob Dole in 1996, would often use the phrase "Tabula Rasa" as a way of saying we needed to start over with a blank sheet of paper to analyze and determine a solution to a problem.

Trump therapy: Let me put an end to your anxiety

Even though Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, he had to overcome some strong head winds to get there. Such as?

Trump: It would be 'inappropriate' to debate Bernie

Boom! Liberals and the mainstream media just had a conniption fit because Donald Trump changed his mind. He did so for good reason. It would be inappropriate to debate the soon-to-be second-place finisher in the race for the Democrat presidential nomination.

How Trump won: He didn't let the media mis-define him, and neither did you

It may not be officially official until the Republican convention in July, but Donald Trump last week passed the 1,237-pledged delegate mark, essentially making him the Republican nominee for president. To get a sense of just how extraordinary this is, think back to last summer and fall when the entire world of political punditry was so sure he had no chance, they treated this belief as if it was an unassailable fact.

The third evil: Not voting at all

As disgruntled Republican voters and disappointed Democrat voters languish over a choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, some of them are saying it’s voting for the lesser of two evils, or, they're not voting at all.

Hillary's defining moment

Now that Hillary Clinton has declared herself the winner of the Democrat nomination for president before it is officially over, let's recap some of her most defining moments of what she would do as president (I pray not!) . . . in her own words:

New York Times hit piece on Trump feels awfully familiar

It was the most predictable thing, and for me, a very familiar thing as well. The New York Times, which might as well be the official newsletter of the Democrat Party and the Hillary campaign, goes around and interviews every woman it can find who’s ever had contact with Donald Trump – then writes a story that drips with implication he treats them boorishly and in a sexist manner.

Just a reminder: Hillary is an awful candidate whose own party can't stand her

Here’s something that barely made the headlines: In last week’s West Virginia primary, Bernie Sanders defeated Hillary Clinton. That’s because it’s hardly news anymore when Bernie Sanders defeats Hillary Clinton in a primary. He defeats her regularly.

'Hope and change' lies remembered

The collective public has a short political memory.

Divided we fall

I suggested on Wednesday, when the departure of Ted Cruz and John Kasich from the race made Donald Trump the presumptive nominee, that people who were disappointed in the results take a deep breath and think rationally about the right step to take in light of the challenge that lies ahead - which is to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House.

It's time for conservatives to learn how Donald Trump would solve America's problems

Less than a week after the Indiana primary and the end of the Ted Cruz and John Kasich candidacies, emotions are still raw, and there are still a lot of high-profile conservatives vowing they will never vote for Donald Trump.

Trump's tax plan: Lower rates and a simpler structure, but is it enough?

I've been perusing Donald Trump's proposed changes to the federal tax code, and if you measure the proposal strictly by comparing it with the status quo, it's no contest. Trump's plan wins by several lengths of the galaxy.

Why do 'true conservatives' (whatever that means) want to close the GOP tent?

Often when party leaders talk about expanding the tend, what "true conservative" activists think they mean is abandoning any commitment to conservative ideas so that more liberal voters will consider becoming Republicans.

President Trump

Donald Trump will be the official Republican presidential nominee.
