“Low Ceiling – High Floor.” It’s one of the few mantras that has remained true – over this past election year – the notion that “Trump has his number.” In Fox News national polls, the former president has remained the choice of 48-50% of the U.S. electorate since the primaries started. His support didn’t dip despite convictions, and it stayed …

Since Americans have started waking up to the reality of our country’s illegal immigration problem, politicians, activists and cable news pundits have tried to quell the masses with slogans like “Immigration makes us stronger,” and “Illegal immigration is a victimless crime.” While these Orwellian messages may have worked in the past, they are failing hard now as people contrast them …

Due to weakness in the White House, we are experiencing chaos in the Middle East, strikes on our servicemembers, thebloodiest attackon the Jewish people since the Holocaust, and Americans still held hostage by Iran-backed Hamas. It doesn’t have to be this way. Four years ago, we were celebrating the signing of the Abraham Accords, a historic advancement to peace in …

Every now and then in my line of work, you walk into an establishment and immediately think, I’m either gonna get great coverage here, or I’m going to get my ass kicked. This was my experience Saturday as I entered the Hop Bar in Springfield, Ohio, and the four guys shooting pool looked at me with an expression that at …

Toward the end of his presidency, Ronald Reagan was doing the standard round of exit interviews, one with Tom Brokaw of NBC. During the taping, Brokaw asked Reagan a rather brilliant question, namely, was there anything from Reagan’s Hollywood days that helped him become a better president?

Since the Naturalization Act of 1790, immigration has been a consistently contentious issue in American politics. Throughout history, America’s religious leaders have offered guidance and opinions on immigration, in general terms and concerning specific legislation. In recent years, much of this religious guidance has centered on a verse from the Torah (the sacred text for Jews and Christians, from Genesis-Deuteronomy).This …

Nearly two months after the shocking near-assassination of former President Donald Trump, Americans are still learning alarming details about the event. Just last week, as reported by Fox News, whistleblowers told Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., “that Secret Service personnel are ‘woefully unprepared’ and have been given inadequate training to properly protect candidates – including former President Trump.” The senator shared …

There is an old saying in the journalism business that goes, “if it bleeds, it leads,” which means that once violence occurs a story gets much hotter. We can now add “if it mews, it is news,” to the list of Fourth Estate expressions. I should tell you right at the top here that I am not going to solve …

As the dust is settling from the first debate between President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the political elites are failing to understand how badly Harris failed to achieve her objectives. Nothing better illustrates the gap between reality and our political elite (including a number of famous Republicans) than their complete misreading of what happened in the clash …

Vice President Kamala Harris claims she worked at McDonald’s as a teenager, but that job is missing from her early resumes and memoir. I sympathize with her since I also omitted from resumes my teenage summer job sloughing on the payroll of the Virginia Highway Department. But that job taught me more about the nature of government than any high …
