Vice President J.D. Vance

From the Right / Josh Hammer /

Donald Trump has locked up the necessary delegates for the Republican presidential nomination, which means it's time for every political junkie's favorite quadrennial game: Veepstakes!

Every four years, commentators, political consultants and elected officials all chime in with their takes on who a presidential candidate's running mate should...Read more

The Path to Victory for Trump

From the Right / Josh Hammer /

Following this week's primaries, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have both attained enough delegates to be their respective parties' presidential nominees this fall. Barring some sort of unforeseen event -- a debilitating hospitalization, an ultra-expedited criminal prosecution, or a convention floor revolt -- we will ...Read more

Liberal Elites Against Democracy

From the Right / Josh Hammer /

I remember learning about democracy back in grammar school. We learned about it in the context of the American Revolution: Britain's King George III may have ruled as a capricious monarch, but the intrepid colonists fought for the then-novel concept of democratic self-government.

A cursory glance at Merriam-Webster is instructive. That ...Read more

Trump's Fainthearted SCOTUS Picks Could Doom Him in DC Election Case

From the Right / Josh Hammer /

One of the more underappreciated recent trends in American law and politics, obscured by a few high-profile conservative victories at the Supreme Court and thus noticed by few other than dyed-in-the-wool legal conservatives, is that former President Donald Trump's three picks for the high court are soft and undependable.

The truth is that ...Read more

Alabama Supreme Court's Embryo Ruling Embodies America's Legal Heritage

From the Right / Josh Hammer /

Leftists have spent much of the past week up in arms about a ruling last Friday from the Alabama Supreme Court.

At first blush, it is curious that a state supreme court case would engender so much vitriol and bellyaching. But the groaning from the left-wing media and political class can be easily explained: The Alabama case entails a dispute ...Read more

Donald Trump Is Blessed With the Very Best Enemies

From the Right / Josh Hammer /

On the one hand, Donald Trump, the former and perhaps future president of the United States, seems uniquely hapless. He lost an election unlike any other before -- one in which insecure mail-in balloting proliferated, many states made constitutionally dubious changes to their voting procedures, and Big Tech put a decisive and perhaps outcome-...Read more

What Exactly Is Meant by 'America First'?

From the Right / Josh Hammer /

The primary slogan of the Trump movement is the simple, now-iconic appeal to "Make America Great Again." Indeed, "MAGA" is so ubiquitous that it is now a metonym for the movement itself. But if the Trump movement has a second catchphrase after "MAGA," it would be "America First." Donald Trump himself routinely vows that he is an "America First...Read more

Texas Is Correct To Defend Its Sovereignty From the Border Invasion

From the Right / Josh Hammer /

The adjective "Orwellian" can be overused in our political discourse. But how else to describe a situation in which the federal government abdicates its responsibility to secure the nation's wide-open border and then, when a state steps up to help stanch the bleeding, is told by that same federal government to stop -- and, for good measure, ...Read more

After Iowa, It's Time for Republicans to Rally to Trump

From the Right / Josh Hammer /

Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee for president. Some rival campaigns may yet persist, and it is of course true that the overwhelming majority of the delegates for this summer's Republican National Convention have yet to be allotted. But after this week's Iowa caucuses, in which the 45th president delivered a crushing blow to ...Read more

Claudine Gay Is Not a Martyr

From the Right / Josh Hammer /

The trials and tribulations of Claudine Gay, the former president of Harvard University who resigned this week after being exposed as both a Jew-hatred apologist and a serial plagiarist, perfectly expose America's cultural divide.

To the Right, she is the embodiment of the woke ideology and the DEI ("Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion") regime:...Read more

A 2024 Wish List: Sanity at Home and Stability Abroad

From the Right / Josh Hammer /

The calendar turns to 2024, and the world under President Joe Biden's watch is burning.

The United States' southern border has reached a historically catastrophic state; overrun border towns such as Lukeville, Arizona and Eagle Pass, Texas are the laughingstocks of the world. Further south in our hemisphere, socialist thug Nicolas Maduro of ...Read more
