Trump Failed Ukraine, the Cause of Freedom and the American People

SAN DIEGO -- It's too bad the Academy Awards are over with. President Donald Trump would be a shoo-in for what could well be the performance of a lifetime.

If Trump isn't really a compromised Russian asset who puts Moscow's interests ahead of those of the United States, he sure plays that role phenomenally well.

The Trump administration has ...Read more

Zelenskyy gets cold feet as Trump tries to grab Ukraine by the assets

From the Right / Rachel Marsden /

MOSCOW — US President Donald Trump thought that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was ready to walk down the aisle and say “I do” to a rare earth minerals deal with the US at the White House. But then Zelensky decided to play hard to get — swiping left in Trump’s face so hard that it’s a miracle it didn’t leave an actual mark...Read more

The Importance of Retaking Institutions

From the Right / Victor Joecks /

Lasting political change doesn't come from winning elections but reshaping institutions.

On Feb. 26, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and owner of The Washington Post, issued a stunning announcement.

"I'm writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages," he wrote on X. "We are going to be writing every day in support and ...Read more

Ukraine Ministers Speaking Truth

From the Right / Cal Thomas /

While President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy were duking it out in the Oval Office in a rhetorical version of the Ultimate Fighting Club that Trump loves, six Ukrainian Christian ministers from different denominations were coincidentally (or prophetically?) down the street telling guests at ...Read more

For Whom the Zelle Tolls

From the Right / Stephen Moore /

One of the more baffling lawsuits in the final days of the Biden administration was the complaint against Zelle, the popular money transfer network. The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau argued that, despite Zelle's service being free, the network's users were being ripped off.

Now that the Trump administration has all but closed the CFPB down...Read more

USAID v. Trump

From the Right / Debra Saunders /

WASHINGTON -- I don't like the way President Donald Trump abruptly fired swaths of federal workers during his first weeks back in office. But I know why he did it this way.

Trump campaigned on a promise to cut the size of government -- and this go-round, he's actually doing it.

The administration has offered buyout packages, which some 77,...Read more

All Roads Lead to Obama. He Is the Evil 'Manchurian Candidate' and Communist Mastermind of Everything Bad That Has Happened to America and President Trump. And I'm a Witness -- It All Started at Columbia University

From the Right / Wayne Allyn Root /

All roads lead to Barack Obama. He is the shot caller. He is the communist traitor behind everything bad that has happened to America, the U.S. economy and President Donald Trump.

I believe it all started at Columbia University.

Yes, I have a history with Obama. We were college classmates at Columbia University. We were both pre-law and ...Read more

Hate Him All You Like, Mitch McConnell Is a Hall of Famer

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

Mitch McConnell, perhaps the greatest strategist in Senate history, recently announced he would be retiring from politics after seven terms. This brought on celebration from MAGA Republicans, who detest the Kentuckian with the heat of a thousand suns.

And there are numerous legitimate criticisms of McConnell's tenure. He ruled the conference ...Read more

The Andrew Tate Moral Rot and the Future of the American Right

From the Right / Josh Hammer /

On Thursday, disgraced "manosphere" influencer Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan, boarded a private jet from Romania, where they have lived for years, to Florida. That these moral monsters have been welcomed to our shores with open arms is appalling and shameful. The saga also exposes an unfortunate fault line on the American Right -- one ...Read more

Understanding Even If Not Agreeing

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

In the United Nations, the United States sided with Russia, Belarus and North Korea -- three authoritarian regimes currently rampaging through parts of Ukraine -- against a General Assembly resolution that noted Russia as the aggressor in the Ukrainian invasion. China and Iran would not side with Russia on that resolution. It is a bad look for...Read more

We Need a Book on the Scandal of Biden's Decline

From the Right / Tim Graham /

CNN host Jake Tapper announced that he and Axios reporter (and CNN analyst) Alex Thompson have a book coming out in May titled "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again." They promise "an unflinching and explosive reckoning."

Conservative reaction was fierce. CNN was part of the cover-up. ...Read more

Open for Corruption

From the Right / Mona Charen /

Is America open for corruption now? Unabashedly? Nakedly? Are we tossing aside not just our hard-won victories over infectious diseases but also the more than hundred-year battle against fraud, bribery and graft?

Honest, clean government doesn't follow automatically from democracy. Before civil service reform, the wealthy or well-connected were...Read more

Getting to Denmark

From the Right / Michael Barone /

Sooner or later, The New York Times catches on to the news. In the case of immigration policy, the news it has caught up with is that mass immigration, legal and illegal, from less-developed countries is politically toxic.

That news was relayed in a Feb. 24 article and thread on X by reporter David Leonhardt, a writer of center-left sympathies ...Read more

Jeff Bezos Launches Intervention at the Washington Post

From the Right / Debra Saunders /

WASHINGTON -- Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos sent a wake-up call to Big Media Wednesday when he announced on X "a change coming to our opinion pages."

"We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets," Bezos explained. "We'll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints ...Read more

Trump's War With The Media Should Not End in Surrender. Fight On!

SAN DIEGO -- U.S. politicians tend to overuse the word "crisis." Some insist there is a crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border. Public health advocates warn of a health care crisis. Through executive overreach, President Donald Trump might be forcing a constitutional crisis. And we've long been told there's a crisis in our schools.

You know what...Read more

Donald Trump and Government by Experts

I have often thought that after Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson was our worst president. By worst is meant least faithful to the Constitution and most destructive of personal liberty.

With the exception of Lincoln's dictatorship -- during which the federal government used violence to crush the states' natural right to secede from a union they ...Read more

Moving Fast and Breaking Things Does Not Work in Washington

Elon Musk prefers to move hard and fast. He likes to break things and bend them to his will. He is an experienced entrepreneur. In 1999, he sold his first business, Zip2, for over $300 million. In 2002, he sold PayPal for $1.5 billion. Today, he owns Tesla, one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the nation. He also owns Twitter, now ...Read more

Trump Needs Congress to Deliver on Lower Prices

If President Donald Trump was elected with a specific mandate, it was to lower prices. Poll after poll reveals that inflation is a top worry for Americans. So the administration should be worried that it's ticking back up. Further, the president -- who seems to think he can solve all problems unilaterally with executive branch orders -- will ...Read more

Poor Europe: Denial, Decline, Demise

From the Right / Laura Hollis /

Alas, poor Europe, I knew it well. A continent of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment?

With apologies to William Shakespeare, Europe is faring only a little better than the dead court jester, Yorick, whose skull Prince Hamlet holds when he recites the correct ...Read more

Cal Thomas: A warning for President Trump

From the Right / Cal Thomas /

“Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.” – Henry Kissinger

President Trump is on a roll, claiming victory after victory against the “swamp.” Some of his decisions are being challenged in court, but others like closing the border and deporting migrants ...Read more
