By appointing James Mattis (secretary of defense), H.R. McMaster (national-security adviser), and John Kelly (secretary of homeland security)—each of whom is an accomplished general—Donald Trump has already recalibrated America’s defenses, writes Victor Davis Hanson in NRO. Illegal immigration at home is down by some 70 percent. A new policy of principled realism abroad seeks to […]
Why Does this Harvard Law Professor Want Trump Impeached?
My friend Gene Healy from the Cato Institute calls Laurence Tribe the “dean of con-law [constitutional law] professors,” but can’t understand Tribe’s fascination with impeaching President Trump. Tribe, who teaches at Harvard, typically takes a more balanced approach to the law. In 2015 he was excoriating the EPA’s greenhouse gas emissions plan in front of Congress. But […]
Trump: No Ramadan Dinner at the White House
For the first time in two decades the White House will not host a Ramadan dinner. The Trump administration is no stranger to breaking tradition, and instead of hosting a dinner, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump chose to put out a statement offering “warm greeting” to the Muslim community. The Hill reports: President […]
Klein: Democrats Suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome
Democrats are reeling from their special election defeats. Both leadership and rank and file Democrats are wondering what went wrong. Ed Klein, former editor-in-chief of The New York Times Magazine, told NewsMax TV‘s Bill Tucker: I think they’re all demented – absolutely demented. This ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ that they’re victims of . . . is leading them […]
Ironies Great and Small: Part IV—Better than the Alternative Trump
Or why Donald Trump was long overdue. Well over 90% of conservatives and Republicans voted for Donald Trump. Many of them would have much preferred one of the other candidates in the primaries, but Mr. Trump was certainly their candidate in the general election. “For these pragmatists, there are both pleasant and occasionally worrisome ironies,” […]
Ironies Great and Small: Part III—Trump vs. Always Trump
Americans voted for a wrecking ball, and there’s little doubt that’s what America got, continues Victor Davis Hanson in NRO. To Always Trumpers, the president’s vulgarity is “the necessary tough antidote to what they see as the polished crudity of the elite class, who are quite indecent in their sanctimonious lectures on amnesties or globalized […]
Ironies Great and Small: Part II—Trump vs. Never Trump
Victor Davis Hanson’s list of ironies continues (read Trump vs. Progressives here). Never Trumpers have had a hard time conceding that, despite assurances to the contrary, “something had gone terribly wrong with their top-down party, although they resent that it was raucous billionaire Donald Trump who administered the diagnosis.” Despite assurances that Trump would not get the […]
Horror in Virginia: Does the Left Still Refuse to Accept the Outcome of the Election?
Ann Coulter lambastes the liberal media and politicians for their hypocritical treatment of the president, and of the right in general. Before the election, any thought of questioning what was, at the time, sure to be a victory for Hillary Clinton would have been a threat to democracy itself. As Coulter puts it: Remember when […]
Ironies Great and Small: Part I—Trump vs. Progressives
Victor Davis Hanson lays out in NRO the many ironies of Donald Trump being president for the Left, for the Never Trump, for the Always Trump, and for the Better Than the Alternative. First, the Left. Left-leaning politicians and media were untroubled by the President Obama’s unconstitutional abuses during his eight years in the White […]
Is Trump About to Reward the Rust Belt?
While in Milwaukee on Tuesday, President Trump said the state’s governor, Scott Walker, may get “a very happy surprise very soon….we were negotiating with a major, major incredible manufacturer of phones and computers and televisions.” Now it is rumored that Foxconn, the maker of iPhones and other branded devices is considering building a new factory in the […]
