Impossible to Ignore Conservative Trend
In order to minimize the scope of the conservative victory on in the recent elections, liberal commentators treat Donald Trump’s achievement as an isolated fluke – with a TV celebrity winning a battle of personalities by just enough votes in the upper mid-west to win a surprising electoral college victory.

In 2016, Mr. Trump got fewer white votes than any of the three prior GOP nominees, Romney, McCain or George W. Bush, at the same time that he got a higher...

DIANE MEDVED: The Right Theme Song for a New Era
BY DIANE MEDVED
Throughout his history-making campaign, the president-elect concluded each tumultuous rally on the same puzzling note: playing the Rolling Stones song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want’, with a slow, angelic chorus pronouncing the words as if they represented holy writ.

Don’t Lose Touch with American Optimism
In the concluding days of the long, bitter campaign, a slight economic improvement sparked a new burst of hope. According to CNN/ORC polling, 54% thought things were “going well” in America, while only 46% said they were going poorly—the best rating in nearly 10 years. This correlates with big increases in approval for President Obama, placing him in...

A Painful Problem that Government Won’t Solve
A new report from the American Cancer Society highlights the tragic toll of smoking-related cancers: 167,000 deaths in the most recent yearly statistics from tobacco-caused cancer alone, not even including additional smoking-based deaths caused by other lung and circulatory problems.
This means the number of cancer victims who perish due to cigarettes exceeds...

The Great Unmentionable
At the end of a bitter presidential campaign, there’s little discussion by either candidate of perhaps the gravest threat to our national security and continued prosperity. The nation carries a crushing debt burden of more than 20 trillion dollars, and current trends would only enlarge that debt over the next decade.
So why won’t Donald Trump or Hillary...
