The American people elected President Trump because they were tired of the manifest failures of President Obama’s administration and congressional Democrats: slow economic growth, slow job growth and slow wage growth. Clinton was promising more of the same. Voters wanted a change.
Because of Republicans, more people have a shot at the American Dream today than ever before. Our policies have lifted up everyone, including those who had been forgotten for far too long. We finally have America moving forward.
Celebrities, spin and vicious attacks on President Trump and Republicans made for a predictable week in the anti-Trump media as Tuesday’s midterm elections approach.
My mind is on healing right now for a simple reason. As midterm elections approach, too much charged political speech is ricocheting about our homeland. We seem to relish growing more distant from, as President Lincoln put it, the better angels of our nature. More on him below.
Seasonal outbreaks of the flu cause thousands of deaths even in a good year, and the last flu season, 2017-2018, was a terrible one. It killed 80,000 Americans and sent 900,000 to the hospital, making it the worst influenza season in decades.
As the campaigning for Tuesday’s midterm elections draws to a close, Democrats are seeking to gain political advantage by falsely accusing President Trump of motivating some unbalanced people to take violent actions. The charge is absurd.
Former President Obama, in a last-minute stump speech for Democratic candidates in Florida before Tuesday’s midterm elections, joined the liberal media chorus in casting President Trump and his supporters as angry and divisive.
In a few days the U.S. will have its midterm results, and the Beltway press corps will lecture us on the lessons. Don’t expect to hear much about the one takeaway that is already obvious: that today’s preferred progressive politics -- of character assassination, mob rule, intimidation and wacky policies -- is an electoral bust. It is not what is winning Democrats anything. It is what is losing the party the bigger prize.
As thousands of migrants stream toward our southern border, it is more apparent now than ever that America’s immigration system is broken. The best way to stop the slow-motion catastrophe we see coming up through Mexico is to immediately reform our immigration laws and then firmly and fairly enforce them. To do that the right way, we first need to rediscover and re-emphasize the meaning of American citizenship.
One morning during the "Fox & Friends" program, I was waking into the green room and saw that our new college associate was starting that day and was chatting with Fox News contributor, former Senior Adviser and Deputy Chief of Staff to George W. Bush, Karl Rove, who was an upcoming guest.
Here we go again with our annual exercise in silliness. At 2 a.m. Sunday the absurdity known as daylight saving time ends. Unless you live in Arizona or Hawaii – the only two states where daylight saving time is not observed – you will need to turn your clocks back an hour, gaining the hour you lost when clocks moved forward March 11.
Do you ever become frustrated or discouraged when you pray? For many years I saved prayer time for the very end of my day – you know, those two to three minutes before dozing off while laying in bed.
In lawyering, I have chosen a profession where words matter. In parenting, however, I have chosen a vocation where words really matter. I learned this lesson the hard way with my daughter Molly, some years ago.
