Trump Is Right, It’s Time To Get Out Of Afghanistan
The American people want out of Afghanistan. Americas veterans want out of Afghanistan. Unfortunately every time President Trump mentions his intention to end the war and bring the troops home, the media, the DC national security establishment (AKA the swamp), and anti-Trumpers argue that the sky will fall if this president ends our nation’s longest war that hasn’t had a definable mission for

Jeb Bush a Reaganite? Oh, Yes He Is
I am quite baffled that some folks think Jeb Bush is an establishment candidate and not a true conservative.
Granted, the former Florida governor's support for the Common Core educational initiative and immigration reform might give that impression.
But the truth is Jeb Bush governed Florida as a strong conservative, and he has long identified, even before becoming governor,

VIDEO: The Hateful Media's Four-Year War Against Trump
Back in May, President Trump told Fox News he’s “greeted with a hostile press, the likes of which no president has ever seen....Ninety-four or ninety-five percent of the press is hostile.”
Fact check: True. While every President has their critics in the press, the Trump presidency has been unique in that a massive percentage of the media — hosts, columnists, commentators, contributors,

Republicans Are Right: Obamacare Is Redistribution But here's how it really works
Republicans and their allies are making a lot of different arguments about what Obamacare is doing to America. It’s hiking premiums! It’s making people lose their doctors! It’s destroying Medicare! But if you listen closely, you’ll discern a common theme—a message aimed squarely at the middle class: Obamacare is taking away your money or health insurance, and giving it to somebody else.

Where Wealth Taxes Failed
Bernie Sanders often points to Europe as his economic model, but there’s one lesson from the Continent that he and Elizabeth Warren want to ignore. Europe has tried and mostly rejected the wealth taxes that the two presidential candidates are now promising for America.
Senator Warren’s plan sets an annual 2% tax on assets above $50 million, and the rate rises to 6% for billionaires.

Political polarization is what paralyzes us
NEIL GABLER has discounted political polarization as the cause of congressional inaction (“Is America too old to be bold?”). In fact, both parties have discovered that driving their bases to the poles is key to winning elections. Party strategists have discovered that it is much easier and cheaper to motivate the base than it is to convince centrists and the undecided.

OPINION: Skewing data to uphold abortion
In a recent article, NARAL Pro-Choice America released a poll making the startling claim that nearly 70 percent of registered voters say the government should not restrict access to abortion. Although this is a convenient narrative, it’s less than representative of American opinion, and I suspect they know it. What do Americans think? How does that align with leaders of both sides of the
