Will Defense Spending Avoid the Scalpel Again?
Since the 1950s, every effort to reduce the size and scope of government has been bulldozed by a political establishment more concerned with furthering its own interests than those of the American people. Between sacred cows and special interest groups, we're always told why nothing can get cut.
With the exception of Social Security, there is...Read more

Cal Thomas: The economy: We’ve been here before
When I began investing in balanced mutual funds in 1983, the Dow Jones Industrial Average stood at 1,190. Last Monday, despite the drop of more than 1,000 points, the DJI closed at politics/fromtheright/calthomas/s-3633452">Read more
Yes, Non-Citizen Terror Supporters Should Leave
It should go without saying, but America does not need more Hamas sympathizers.
Yet this simple truth seems to confound a wide variety of commentators across the political spectrum. This week, the White House announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement would be deporting an apparently green card-holding Columbia University graduate ...Read more

Trump’s Fifth Ave. Scenario Has Finally Arrived
It was January of 2016, with just two weeks before the Iowa caucus. Then candidate Donald Trump delivered to a Christian college audience what would become the line of his political career: “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose voters, OK?”
Since making that wild and revealing statement, his ...Read more
How a Black Movement About Freedom Became a Movement About Welfare
The 36 million who watched President Donald Trump's address to Congress also watched as Congressional Black Caucus member, Rep. Al Green, shook his cane and shouted at the president.
When he refused to desist, Speaker Mike Johnson ordered him removed from the chamber.
Two days later, in a bipartisan vote, the House censured Green.
The ...Read more
Ukraine War: The Peace Ball Is Now in Putin's Court
Late on March 11, the Trump administration announced Ukraine had agreed to a 30-day ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine War.
A joint American-Ukrainian statement said the U.S. will "immediately" resume full intelligence sharing and military-security aid to Ukraine. The Trump administration also said Ukraine had agreed to the strategic minerals ...Read more
Don't Fall for Democrats' Zany Decarceration Plans
There's trouble ahead for New Yorkers distressed about crime levels.
New York City's Democratic establishment, including leading mayoral candidates and the City Council majority, are determined to downsize or eliminate the city's jails altogether. They've drunk the decarceration Kool-Aid -- and they're convinced that jails do more harm than ...Read more
We Should Be Much More Prosperous. But Politicians Won't Let That Happen!
Climate activists have found a new way to force us to pay more for energy. New York and Vermont passed laws that will raise the price of oil, gas and electricity by taxing the past. New York's new law demands fossil fuel companies pay $75 billion for carbon emissions dating back to the year 2000. Other Democrat-controlled states plan to ...Read more
Goodbye to the Great Highway
"This may be the most beautiful commute in the world."
My father sometimes said that back in the 1970s when we were driving from our home in San Rafael to my high school in San Francisco's Sunset District.
San Rafael was founded in 1817 when Spanish Franciscans established a mission there. St. Ignatius College Preparatory, my high school, ...Read more
The Word 'Insurrectionist' Should Be Used for Radical Leftist Mahmoud Khalil and the Group He Led!
It would have been a dangerous drinking game during the Biden presidency to chug every time the media broadly described Jan. 6 protesters as "insurrectionists." It didn't matter whether the protesters were violent or vocally supported overthrowing the government. That was the automatic journalistic assumption for every protester on the scene.

Equal Justice for Social Justice Warriors
WASHINGTON -- Kudos to President Donald Trump's administration for canceling $400 million in grants and contracts to Columbia University "due to the school's continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students."
"Since Oct. 7, Jewish students have faced relentless violence, intimidation, and antisemitic harassment on ...Read more
'Official English' Is Tone-Deaf to Rhythms of a Multicultural America
SAN DIEGO -- President Donald Trump is a shameless cultural warrior who pits citizens against one another. Perhaps he does it for his own amusement, or because a fractured country is easier to control, or because picking on groups tickles his political base which is mostly made up of white people who want to turn back the clock.
Trump has a ...Read more

Europe wrongly blames Trump for its latest crisis
PARIS – French President Emmanuel Macron is leading the European Union’s latest panic-buying spree. Only this time, instead of toilet paper, they’re looking to stockpile weapons. Same irrational impulse.
Naturally, Macron is blaming U.S. President Donald Trump (suddenly) and Russian President Vladimir Putin (perpetually) for the urgent ...Read more
Trump is the World's Worst Dictator
Dictators crave power. President Donald Trump is using his power to give Americans more freedom. That's a massive difference.
Desperate to find an effective attack against Trump, some Democrats are recycling an old one. They claim he's an authoritarian. Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., invited laid-off federal workers to attend Trump's recent ...Read more
The Headlines Have Caught Up to Mike Rowe. Now What?
JOHNSTOWN, Pennsylvania -- Alex Bambino, 21, is the son of two educators. He's busy working, welding a piece of material that will be used on a heavily armored military vehicle when finished. Despite two college-educated parents, who teach at the local Cambrian County schools, he wanted nothing to do with college following high school.
"I ...Read more

Reparations Are a Bad Idea
A new law, buried inside an otherwise obscure piece of federal legislation, permits the Washington, D.C., City Council to establish a commission that will give “reparations” to descendants of enslaved people who can demonstrate how slavery and Jim Crow laws have negatively affected their lives. Talk about a high bar.
The 12-member ...Read more
To Soak the Rich, Tax University Endowments!
Republicans are searching for ways to "pay for" their tax cuts. Democrats want the rich to pay more tax. Here's a solution that should make everyone happy.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith is suggesting a tax on the $840 billion college endowments. These endowments will soon eclipse $1 trillion in size -- more money than the ...Read more
Always Bet on Trump! Why This Is the Greatest Buying Opportunity of Our Lifetimes! Maybe in the History of America!
This commentary is a joint effort by two veterans of business and investing. We've both been in the business of making money, starting businesses, running businesses, raising money and investing money for over 80 combined years.
And we both agree that President Donald Trump's landslide election mandate, brilliant economic agenda and business ...Read more
Trump Promised Us Stability, Not Economic Chaos
President Donald Trump's fixation with tariffs is reminiscent of the Democrats' self-destructive crusade to pass the Inflation Reduction Act under former President Joe Biden. The Left treated the partisan spending bill as a moral imperative, even though honest economists across the spectrum warned that dumping hundreds of billions of dollars ...Read more
Trump's Pick to Head NIH Did Not Follow the COVID Herd
WASHINGTON -- When Stanford epidemiologist Jay Bhattacharya challenged COVID lockdown orthodoxy in 2020, critics glued posters of his face across the campus -- which he saw as an incitement to violence -- and colleagues tried to marginalize him for spreading misinformation.
It didn't matter that he was right.
But it matters now. President ...Read more
