For the last nine years, Trump supporters have had to be careful who they confided their allegiance to. We could not proudly flaunt Trump signs in our front yard while our neighbors had no issue planting Clinton, Biden, or Harris signs like dandelions. Buy a MAGA hat, but leave it in the hall closet because … Read more
Brownstone Institure Early in the pandemic, President Donald Trump and White House senior official Peter Navarro arranged the donation of 63 million doses of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to America’s strategic drug stockpile to combat Covid-19. The government began securing HCQ in March 2020, after Trump, on the advice of his medical and scientific advisors, lauded HCQ as “very encouraging,” “very … Read more
Headlines are abuzz with speculations about President-elect Donald Trump’s likely Cabinet selections in an administration that has signaled it will demand loyalty, competence, and determination. For his second term, Trump is building a team to implement a bold agenda that he claims will target an inefficient and entrenched bureaucracy, taxes, the economy, immigration, and health. … Read more
Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from the nomination to be Trump’s next Attorney General after almost everyone, but a few, made it clear they couldn’t vote to confirm him. I honestly thought this was a trick play a few days in and Gaetz was never the guy, especially after Trump named Rubio for Secretary of State. … Read more
I was shocked to hear this morning that President-Elect Donald Trump had invited Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski of Morning Joe to meet face-to-face with him at Mar-A-Lago last Friday. This was the first time the three had met in seven years, but to listen to Mika as she and Joe opened their show on … Read more
Everyone is fretting about the cast of characters Donald Trump is nominating to help him Make America Great Again. Great, and a bit lighter, thinner, leaner, and (hopefully) Less expensive. All of that is what has the blob and it’s minions in a tizzy. They like their fat and the influence that follows, so any … Read more
If you cannot beat Trump, then go after his appointments and nominees. Trump won the Electoral College, the Popular Vote, and both wings of Congress, but that is not enough for the opposition to gracefully accept the people Trump wants on his staff. There is virtually no person Trump has named for a post that … Read more
The federal prosecution against former (and now future) President Donald Trump were extinguished on election night, 2024. Even the relentless Jack Smith conceded his prosecutorial goose was cooked, preparing to withdraw his voluminous election-eve filings against the Donald given the futility of further proceedings. The Electoral (Lawsuit?) Calendar Within hours of Donald Trump’s sweeping election … Read more
As we get to know Trump’s personnel choices, I’m enthused that Biden’s tendency to pick One Of Those is replaced by picking people who understand problems and do not accept that the existing bureaucracy is the solution. However, the very-high-profile Department Of Government Efficiency is a big-name Grace Commission with no actual power to terminate … Read more
Joe Biden has never been happier, which makes you wonder if he and Doc Jill voted for Trump. It could happen. The Obamas and Bidens hate each other. The Clintons and Obamas hate each other. The Biden’s hate Kamala, and I suspect the feelings are mutual – no one really likes Kamala. No one really … Read more
The Davos Droids fly to Switzerland every year to offer their fealty (and perhaps some tribute) to the globalist gods. The World Economic Forum, the official cult, sets the narrative, and everyone who does penance walks away with instructions for the year. In early 2024, someone stole a page from Rodney King with Hey, can’t … Read more
Since Election Day, the Trump transition has been copying and pasting the same quote again and again into emails to reporters seeking comment on this or that presidential appointment. “President-Elect Trump will begin making decisions on who will serve in his second Administration soon,” Trump transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt always writes without fail. “Those decisions … Read more
The party that prosecutes its political opponents has invested some small amount of “sound and fury,” suggesting that Donald Trump might return the favor in kind without admitting they’d been doing it all along. That the Donald had it out for his political enemies and that they would be rounded up and jailed (like Americans … Read more
We already know that Trump is fearless, and we have seen him traverse the last eight years, some might say eight years from hell, but America has given the keys to the country and asked him to lead us back to the fast lane. Trump has been impeached, arrested, mug shot, shot, and survived another … Read more
Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy said Wednesday that President-elect Donald Trump’s choice of Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general signals a plan to use the Justice Department to target political opponents. Trump announced Gaetz’ selection in a Truth Social post, describing him as a “deeply gifted and tenacious attorney, trained at the William & Mary College of … Read more
The Trump campaign targeted male voters in a way no other candidate had done before. Not only did it work to get him elected, but it also woke a sleeping giant of men ready to take on the government that had long forgotten them. President-elect Donald Trump’s son, Barron Trump, is one of those credited with his … Read more
The unusual saga of a former president of the United States being criminally convicted in New York has taken several twists and turns, and now the defendant Donald Trump has transformed from civilian ex-POTUS to President-elect. That was a challenge for New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan, who oversaw Trump’s conviction on 34 felony … Read more
Back in March, people were considering whether Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would make a great (and presumably) unifying pick for vice president. We shared those musings to invite debate, but RFKJ has far too many liberal positions with which I disagree to have him a heartbeat from the presidency. That was in March, and while … Read more
Donald Trump correctly realized that this election was about domestic ‘kitchen table” issues and not foreign policy or military readiness. He alluded to the fact that there was much wrong with the Pentagon and vowed to fix it. The voters were interested in other issues, and he did not have to go into details. Now … Read more
Donald Trump’s victory in last week’s election reinforced the impression that he and his followers have “taken over” the Republican party. The campaign saw Republicans like Liz and Dick Cheney switch sides and back the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris. Now—after Trump won a second term—the right is locked in an impassioned struggle to pressure the … Read more
