There has been a great deal of sententious cant denouncing President Trump for his "incitement" of the break-in at the U.S. Capitol building last week. Much of the quivering moral outrage is just so much two-faced humbug.
Shares Every president-elect promises that on Day One in the Oval Office untold effort will be made to reach across the aisle, play nice and jointly pave the road to prosperity for all Americans.
Shares What happened last week at the Capitol was both tragic and predictable. There was no program planned that allowed participants to positively channel their emotions, enthusiasm and anger.
Shares The lawlessness perpetrated at the U.S. Capitol last week should be strongly condemned; it was reprehensible. Equally reprehensible, however, is the newly discovered righteousness of the Democrats and their obsequious myrmidons in the "lamestream" media and Big Tech.

If the events that unfolded at the Capitol on Wednesday showed us anything, it is that the Republican Party has a significant PR problem right now.
Shares This was a week of madness. Pure madness. But the winner of this week's award for cognitive crackpottery does not hail from the ranks of secular politics but rather from the pulpit.
Shares Joe Biden's just-announced Cabinet picks for Labor and Commerce -- Mayor Marty Walsh and Gov. Gina Raimondo, respectively -- share the common denominator of being tight with the unions. And that makes perfect sense when you consider the corporate-run communism that's coming to America under Democrats.

President Trump has overseen the construction of more than 200 miles of border wall, a policy I profoundly disagree with.
Shares Those who lost in November need to accept the loss -- gracefully or otherwise -- and move along.
Shares Forces of fear that made 2020 an accursed year have not vanished with the turn of the calendar page. On Tuesday, election processes deformed by the coronavirus pandemic helped achieve a Democratic sweep of Georgia's Senate runoff races, giving the party a clear mandate to act on its radical instincts in taking an ax to the nation's deepest roots.
Shares For over seven months, we have been subjected to devastating and relentless mob violence from Antifa, Black Lives Matternd other "activist" wings of the Democratic Party. The violence has destroyed many once-beautiful cities, such as Portland, and Democrats have clandestinely if not overtly supported it (e.g., Rep. Maxine Waters' barbaric calls for violence against Republicans).
Shares When I saw the front-page headline on my morning paper Jan. 7 ("ASSAULT ON DEMOCRACY") I thought perhaps The Washington Post had been delivered instead of The Washington Times. We the people were at the Capitol by the tens, if not hundreds of thousands, to do just the opposite of assaulting democracy. We were there to preserve our democratic republic.
Shares I and most others are saddened by the violence on the Capitol this week, especially by the shooting of Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed veteran from San Diego. I suspect, however, not many tears were shed among members of "the swamp." For them, things could not have gone any better had they scripted the events themselves.
Shares Nothing unifies a fraught and fractured nation like accusing your political opponents of "treason" and "sedition."

The Republicans lost both Senate runoff races in Georgia this week, which means there's now a 50-50 split in the Senate with the deciding vote in any tie cast by the vice-president.
Shares The mob violence that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday was deplorable and disgusting. It is the antithesis of a free society that wishes to remain free.
Shares We face a tough COVID-19 winter as supply chain bottlenecks slow vaccine rollouts, urban centers remain virtual ghost towns and the disaffected and jobless express outrage with demonstrations and dumpster fires.

Chaos and violence: A predictable, yet no less tragic, end to Donald Trump's presidency. There is nothing left worth defending. He and his movement are a festering wound in the American body politic.
Shares Sometimes I don't know which is worse: how lame political correctness is or how ignorant the radical left has become over time.
Shares Freedom of speech is a central provision and Americans of all walks of political persuasions need to be very careful about making a case that rhetoric is too dangerous to hear. The path of censorship is a slippery slope indeed.
