President Trump, the 47th President, has the power to declare that the birthday of the 1st President, which falls on February 22, should once again be a holiday. 

Amidst everything else he’s doing, President Donald Trump is  changing America’s footprint in the world—it’s getting much bigger.

If Trump can get Greenland, it would be a territorial acquisition on a par with Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase and Andrew Johnson’s buying Alaska. And it will fit in perfectly with Trump’s overall goal of Making America Great Again.

The President-elect has asked two key supporters, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, to lead the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE. Their mission: Cut federal spending by $2 trillion.

The historical judgment on both Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden is likely to be harsh. Confronted with disjunctive forces within, they let them get worse—and Americans noticed.

They’re doing to Elon Musk in 2024 what they did to Mike Flynn in 2017.  Now as then, it’s a direct challenge to the rule of law and to democratic procedure.  And yes, Donald Trump, too, is a target, albeit indirectly.

The ground is shifting in the 2024 presidential campaign. If Donald Trump and JD Vance win this November, that will be literally a true statement because Trump and Vance want to use federal land to create more housing and wealth for Americans.

Alexander Vindman seems clear: If Pavel Durov can be arrested for his management of Telegram, Elon Musk can be for his management of X.

Donald Trump has a winning message on energy abundance and wealth for Americans. If he keeps that up until November, he will win big.

Joe Biden’s presidency is ending, not with a bang, but with a scandal — actually, two scandals.

Donald Trump and JD Vance, with a semi-assist from the Teamsters, threaten that United Auto Workers (UAW)-Democrat orthodoxy.

Elon Musk and SpaceX have become the target of “lawfare” from the left, particularly Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin. This targeting is ramping up after the billionaire Tesla CEO and X owner endorsed Donald Trump.

The Founding Fathers, having signed the Declaration of Independence, committed their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to liberty. 

In April, Joe Biden’s Department of Education issued new Title IX rules on transgenderism, seeking to dictate policy for all 50 states on “sex stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics.” It doesn’t take much imagination to see how these rules, elaborated over thousands of pages of bureaucratese, will affect the rights of girls in the most intimate of places, such as bathrooms, dorm rooms, and locker rooms. So, how show these states fight back?

In history, as in life, we often don’t appreciate things till after they’re gone. When it was around, we took it for granted—maybe even made fun of it—and so we are caught at a loss when it goes away.  

Big Media and Bigger AI are at it again to exclude views that don’t fit their narrative.

A Republican presidential challenger campaigning in the South Bronx against an inflation-ridden and unpopular Democratic incumbent. I’ve seen this show before.  

Both journalists and AI are being assisted by a constellation of quasi-journalistic “centers” for combating disinformation, most of them foundation-funded non-profits, often connected to a college or university. Together, all that tech and all that money are building a wall of progressive orthodoxy to control what’s “true.”

In this close election, Trump is fighting for life.

Biden’s Net Neutrality is really the old Fairness Doctrine, revived–and it’s still very unfair. A DEI delight.

Joe Biden says he wants to build a pier to resupply Gaza and perhaps Hamas. Is that a good idea? It’s not so clear that even Biden thinks it is.

If more than four in five Americans mistrust the federal edifice, the phenomenon is bipartisan and far-reaching. What should we do about it?

What if OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s $7 trillion to make artificial intelligence chips is not enough? We will have to wait and see.

Big Tech has a plan to use AI to create a “healthy information ecosystem” just in time for the 2024 election.

American forces were caught by surprise when an enemy drone struck a Jordan military facility, indicating the military needs to up its tech.

The greens have been hoping for smooth cruising on their electric vehicle plan, but they’re getting a cold front and more storms on top of that.

There’s a saying in computers: “Garbage in, garbage out.” If there’s bad input, there’s going to get bad output.  The same applies to political ideology and computers; specifically, artificial intelligence (AI): liberalism in, liberalism out. 

As Stalin is said to have said, “It doesn’t matter who votes, it matters who counts the votes.”

The mainstream media is still hot on the trail of Russian “disinformation.”

The fate of everything in human affairs is determined by those who are willing to stand up and do something. C. Boyden Gray stood up and made an enduring difference.

The U.S. government took the information techniques it learned after 9/11 and has turned them on Americans. America may have lost the Great War on Terror, but our technocratic elites could still win their war against American liberty.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. wants to put Americans first. Will the uniparty stand for that?

Big Blue Banking and the Democrats plan to stay woke. If and when they go broke, they will bail themselves out with other people’s money. That’s how the rich stay rich and get richer.

The Democrats and the establishment media use and abuse history to undercut Republican presidents. This time, the target is Ronald Reagan, and the history involves the Iran hostage crisis and Jimmy Carter’s 1980 re-election defeat.
