I’ve long marveled at President Obama’s calls for bipartisanship right before viciously tearing into Republicans. It’s creepy, because he is either too self-absorbed to know he’s doing it or arrogant enough to assume we won’t see through it. I’m referring not to the routine partisan rancor between politicians in the course of debating an issue […]

I have long marveled at liberals’ air of superiority and lack of self-reflection, which have always been particularly evident among liberal media elites and journalists. They tend to view themselves as sacrosanct and above scrutiny. Perhaps this attitude sprang from the British and, later, American tradition that the press is the Fourth Estate. It doesn’t […]

Hillary Clinton has now learned what some of Donald Trump’s GOP rivals have discovered about him: You won’t attack him with impunity, and you’d better not be vulnerable on the very same issue. Trump used colorful language to describe Barack Obama’s trouncing of Clinton in 2008 and also disparagingly referred to her prolonged bathroom break […]

President Obama’s reckless neglect of America’s national security is a rapidly growing malignancy on this nation, and there are no signs it will get better. Some might attribute his arrogantly inaccurate assessment of the Islamic State group as “a JV team” or his delusional assertion, hours before the terrorist massacres in Paris, that the Islamic […]

I’ve long said that the differences between so-called establishment Republicans and grassroots conservatives are about more than tactics in budgetary battles with President Obama and congressional Democrats. The current Cruz-Rubio flap validates my position. Establishment Republicans have been enormously frustrated with the grassroots for wanting to call Obama’s bluff in these budget battles to the […]

As the Christmas season approaches, I want to explain why I am so enthusiastic about the subject matter I’ve written about in my new book, “The Emmaus Code: Finding Jesus in the Old Testament.” As I came to Jesus Christ kicking and screaming, I have always been passionate about sharing the epiphanies that led me […]

Once again, President Obama emerged from his permanent sabbatical on the war on terror to inform us, in a bizarre address from the Oval Office, that he has things firmly under control and there’s no need for us Americans to be concerned. Excuse me if I’m not comforted. Obama has made quite clear that he […]

On NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, Andrea Mitchell accused Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump of divisiveness. Trump’s alleged divisiveness aside, this is rich from an acolyte of the most divisive president in history, Barack Obama. Mitchell was referring to Trump’s disputed claim that thousands of American Muslims celebrated the terrorist attacks on our soil on […]

How could America have twice elected a president who not only can’t stand America but also won’t perform his constitutional duty of defending it? Even some former administration officials and rank-and-file Democrats are finally recognizing that there is something strange about a commander in chief who declines to listen to his advisers on terrorism, won’t […]

Unbeknownst to many in our culture, including even some Christians, the God of the Old Testament is the God of the New Testament. God, the Bible assures us, is unchanging. Our secular culture mischaracterizes Jesus as a hyper-tolerant, nondiscriminatory liberal who is indifferent to sin and passes judgment on no one. But Jesus is not […]

It’s hard to believe we twice elected a president who refuses to defend the United States. I think people who used to dismiss our criticism of President Obama as extreme are now realizing just how naive they were. On the morning before the ISIS terrorist attacks in Paris, Obama was bragging that ISIS is contained. […]

I get the feeling that the Republican presidential field is gradually beginning to narrow and that we will see interesting dynamics among the principal survivors. I would be shocked if John Kasich moved up, because he has demonized conservatism itself and tried to shame conservatives, hinting that he’s a more compassionate practitioner. He exudes an […]

Since I began reading the Bible, I have been fascinated by the story of Jesus’ encounter with two of his apostles on the road to Emmaus, a village close to Jerusalem, in one of his resurrection appearances. The two men were despondent because Jesus, who had been crucified and buried just a few days before, […]

Some of you, especially those on the left side of the political aisle, are scratching your heads over Ben Carson’s recent surge in the polls. I get why you’re surprised, but you shouldn’t be. This has definitely been the year of the outsiders in the Republican race, but this “outside” group may be more multifaceted […]

So CNBC’s John Harwood is not only unashamed of his disgracefully biased moderating of the GOP debate, he’s doubling down — entrenched as a five-year-old boy guarding his Halloween candy. After the debate he tweeted, “GOP debate in 2015 enriched my understanding of challenges @SpeakerBoehner has faced and @RepPaulRyan will face.” I assume he was […]

I dedicate the lead of this column to thanking CNBC for displaying its rank liberal bias in last night’s GOP presidential debate for all the world to see. In relative terms, “all the world” is not that far off if you consider last night’s audience size compared with the network’s usually paltry ratings. The more […]

Isn’t it just great that the liberal establishment views Hillary Clinton’s testimony in the Benghazi hearings in terms of performance art rather than substance? That’s the liberals’ way of telling you how much they value integrity. It would be one thing if the mainstream liberal media said, “Clinton got caught red-handed in a number of […]

There are many opinionated people on each side of the political spectrum, including me, but I haven’t heard of any conservatives trying to muzzle leftists. Liberals on the other hand? Ha. Man-made global warming liberals ridicule skeptics as corrupt or brain-dead deniers, and their advocate in chief, President Obama, habitually derides conservatives for rejecting his […]

People initially were in disbelief that a card-carrying socialist such as Bernie Sanders could make a competitive bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, but I trust it’s now obvious how wrong they were. Pointing to the rise of Donald Trump and Ben Carson in the Republican race, some say Sanders is doing well because this […]

Fair people are disgusted with GQ columnist Drew Magary’s vile denunciation of Ben Carson and his comments on the Oregon shooting, but it shouldn’t surprise anyone familiar with leftist vulgarity and double standards. Not only did GQ print the post, in which Magary wrote “f— him,” but also it titled the piece “F— Ben Carson.” […]

How about the next time the mainstream media decide to fabricate a controversy against a conservative presidential candidate, they choose something less laughable? The media’s latest faux gasp concerns Dr. Ben Carson’s comments about the Oregon school shooting. When I first watched news reports on it, I didn’t immediately grasp the reason for the fuss, […]

In his speech on the Umpqua Community College shooting in Oregon last week, President Obama sounded more upset about America’s gun laws than about the horrific massacre. We barely had the preliminary facts about the shooting, the shooter and the victims, and he was already lecturing the nation again on gun control. Instead of calling […]

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s questioning of Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards exposes the depravity and dishonesty of her organization. Richards and her colleagues act like cornered criminal defendants whose only defense is to dissemble and counterattack their accusers, for the truth is not in them. Planned Parenthood piously holds itself out as […]

Establishment Republicans inside and outside Washington miss the grassroots’ point. Even if we don’t eventually prevail with defunding Planned Parenthood, we need to take this issue to the American people. Establishment types believe that just as we are finally poised to recapture the White House, crazy tea party extremists are about to mess everything up […]

Normally, the issue of the pope’s infallibility wouldn’t much concern me, but it does get my attention when opportunists attempt to leverage his heft to advance their political agenda. As an evangelical Christian, I don’t subscribe to the view that the pope is infallible, but I respect Catholics who do and have no desire to […]

Once again the media are hyping an issue that has nothing to do with the problems confronting this nation. Shame on them for trying to manufacture a controversy — again — about President Obama’s faith. During a town hall event for Donald Trump in Rochester, New Hampshire, Thursday night, a questioner said that Obama is […]

I wish the presidential debates could focus on what’s wrong with the status quo and solutions rather than on what one candidate thinks about another’s silly remarks. I don’t want to hear Jeb Bush cajoling Donald Trump to apologize to his wife in front of millions of people. I don’t want moderators to force a […]

Much of the establishment’s criticism of Donald Trump comes from its failure to comprehend the reasons for his soaring popularity. Establishment types seem untroubled by the problems facing America, so they can’t understand the urgency that fathered Trump’s rise. Minor adjustments to the Hindenburg’s dining room menu just aren’t going to get it. Their overwrought […]

Why do so many who castigate Kim Davis for flouting the law routinely cheer on President Obama for actions far more lawless and consequential? Why are those demonizing the Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk so indifferent to the Supreme Court’s rank abuse of power that created the atmosphere of conflict from which her actions arose? Who […]
