Neighbors gather to show their support of the community near a rabbi's residence in Monsey, N.Y., Sunday, Dec. 29, 2019, following a stabbing Saturday night during a Hanukkah celebration. A knife-wielding man stormed into the home and stabbed five people as they celebrated Hanukkah in an Orthodox Jewish community north of New York City, an ambush the governor said Sunday was an act of domestic terrorism fueled by intolerance and a "cancer" of growing hatred in America.

How Democrats stir bigotry and division

At the end of this second decade of the new millennium, it's natural to draw up our lists indicating our favorite movies, music and draw up our prognostications about what last year's polls mean about this year's politics. Yet, strangely and horrifically, the last month of 2019 provides the best overall predictor for what's ahead in 2020.

The enduring spirit and optimism of the American people

On this Christmas Day, if we were to reflect on the last few years, we would recall the unending attacks on our character and motivations by the political and media establishments. During this time of gratitude and reflection, I'm sure that we agree to once and for all reject the evil cartoonish versions of ourselves perpetuated by a jealous and panicked establishment and instead focus on who we really are.

Obama’s dangerous myth about women and leadership

Democratic reliance on dangerous myths and falsehoods is no longer a bug but a feature of their narrative and philosophy. Case in point are comments made this week by former President Barack Obama. At an Obama Foundation Leaders event in Singapore, Mr. Obama, relying on gender stereotypes, perpetuated an undeniable, and dangerous, myth that women are not just better than men, but inherently better leaders.

Why Nikki Haley’s revelations about Rex Tillerson and John Kelly must be investigated

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley has made quite the splash with her new book, "All Due Respect," hitting the shelves this week, within which she reveals that former Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson and former White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly approached her in the White House in an attempt to recruit her to be part of a cell undermining President Trump.

Katie Hill may scold, but she’s not a victim

What she Rep. Katie Hill did not mention in her speech is that she was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for an alleged affair with one of her congressional staffers, a violation of House rules. She denies the allegation.

Impeachment: The Democrats’ chosen recourse to overturn 2016 election

The prospect of President Trump being impeached by the House of Representatives should not be surprising to people. Counter to conventional wisdom, this impeachment does not expose a corrupt president. Instead, it reveals the rot at the core of an establishment willing to abuse the system to overturn an election.

The case of the so-called Ukraine whistleblower scandal

It would be easy to feel overwhelmed by the volume of accusations, lies, hoaxes and general malevolence aimed at President Trump and his supporters. But don't -- justice awaits those doing such damage to our country in the name of assuaging their panic at our political reformation.

Climate change activism: The left’s new power play

As we lead into the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the climate change extremists were out in force. There were student walkouts, demonstrations blocking traffic in Washington, D.C., and the adolescent child of Swedish theater performers lecturing and threatening attendees at the U.N.'s Climate Action Summit in Gotham.

Mark Sanford, Bill Weld, Joe Walsh: ‘The Three Stooges’ as Republican primary challengers

"The Three Stooges." Normally we would immediately think of Moe, Larry and Curly, the three brothers famous for their burlesque slapstick comedy originating in the early 1920s. Usually off on a wild goose chase, they were cartoonish and clueless. What a perfect nickname for a trio of men who fancy themselves as Republican primary challengers of President Trump.

‘The Hunt’ movie reveals just how far liberals’ derangement will take them

After the horrors of mass shootings at Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, the nation is finally having a conversation about more than guns. This is a welcome turn of events. For a generation, politicians and their obsession with banning firearms have made it impossible to discuss the multitude of issues leading up to these hideous acts.
