Once upon a time in America, when a president went overseas, there was a ceasefire on domestic politics in order to be sure not to weaken the president’s hand with our foreign adversaries. All that went out the window when President Trump — the most hated president since Abraham Lincoln — was elected. Today the
As California Sen. Kamala Harris rises in the polls for the Democratic presidential nomination, it is worth keeping in mind that this political animal is inventing herself as she goes along. Even her own father doesn’t recognize her, or possibly like who she has become. In a radio interview on Feb. 11, Sen. Harris proudly
This is not the first time I have noted the death of free speech at Berkeley, but it bears repeating. Sproul Plaza, the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement on the University of California campus, on Tuesday was the site of a violent assault on a conservative activist who was assisting Turning Point USA in
You probably already heard about Lara Logan’s stunning indictment of mainstream media for liberal bias, but I didn’t want to miss an opportunity to applaud a journalism whistleblower.

“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett told Chicago Police that on Jan. 29 he was attacked in the early morning hours by two white men shouting pro-Trump slogans as they beat him because he was black and gay. Chicago Police took this report very seriously and expended no doubt hundreds of thousands of dollars on an investigation
I didn’t like Ann Coulter before I did like her but now I really don’t like her. Sound familiar? Probably lots of conservatives have followed the same path as me when it comes to Coulter. First of all, her arrogant self-importance is bound to grate on the nerves of anyone with a human-sized ego. No
Just wanted to let my local readers know that I will be guest speaker on Monday at the monthly meeting of the Flathead County Republican Women. The meeting is from noon to 1 pm at the Hampton Inn in Kalispell with doors opening at 11:30 am. I’ll do some introductory remarks on journalism, politics and
