The left is engaged in religious bigotry against Amy Coney Barrett. Join our fight. Stop the bigotry. Confirm Amy Coney Barrett.
Her family is an immigrant success story. So why does she prefer to play victim?
Sen. Kamala Harris is an inspiring example of what is possible in America. Her late mother came from India, like my parents, earned a doctorate in endocrinology, and became a breast cancer researcher. Her father came from Jamaica, earned a doctorate in economics, and retired as a Stanford professor.
Immigrants who come to pursue the American Dream often appreciate the economic and political freedoms others take for granted. Their children see the combination of education and hard work that enabled their families to flourish. But somehow Ms. Harris seems to have learned the wrong lesson about America.
Even compared with other successful immigrants’ children, Ms. Harris has had a remarkable career. She served as San Francisco’s district attorney and attorney general of California before being elected to the Senate in 2016. Her electoral successes disprove the left’s view of the nation as hopeless and irredeemable—yet her political ambitions led her to embrace the fashionable view of America as “systemically racist.” …

If Republicans don’t appoint a new justice, they’ll alienate their most loyal voters.
President Trump’s determination to fill the Supreme Court vacancy has enraged Democrats. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ominously warns that if Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is replaced and Democrats gain a Senate majority, “nothing is off the table.” It’s not clear what was off the table before: Democrats had already threatened to end the filibuster, ignore pay-as-you-go rules, make the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico states and pack the court.
The media frantically replays 2016 clips of Republican senators like Lindsey Graham, now Judiciary Committee chairman, explaining their refusal to give Merrick Garland a hearing. They are less likely to mention the many Democrats who flip-flopped in the opposite direction. But Republicans note that their objection to election-year nominations applied when the president’s party was a Senate minority. They reason that voters gave them the majority in 2014 as a brake on President Obama’s ambitions…

FOX BUSINESS – Former 2016 Republican presidential candidate Bobby Jindal and Democratic strategist Laura Fink discuss President Trump’s first remarks after securing the delegates for nomination at the Republican National Convention.
Win or lose, the party won’t return to the old orthodoxy. Populist ideas have put down deep roots.
Many Beltway Republicans, not to mention Democrats, are eager to move past the Trump era and return to “regular order.” Democrats are measuring the drapes in the Oval Office, with a confident air reminiscent of Hillary Clinton four years ago. Yet it would be foolish to count President Trump out—or assume that if he loses, he won’t leave a mark on his party. Whether Mr. Trump leaves office next year or in 2025, Republican voters will likely continue their push for populist policies rather than revert to traditional conservative orthodoxy on issues like trade, immigration, and foreign policy. …

FOX BUSINESS – Former Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal (R) responds to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., snapping back at him on Twitter.
FOX BUSINESS – Former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) discusses some prominent Republicans speaking at the 2020 Democratic National Convention and divisions within the Democrat Party.
FOX BUSINESS – Former Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal (R) gives President Trump credit for taking action when Congress couldn’t, but he still thinks the best way forward is to pass meaningful legislation. He later congratulates Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., but notes she’s very liberal.
He runs on normalcy and nostalgia while quietly promising to enact radical policies.
Joe Biden is attempting to replicate Nancy Pelosi’s successful 2006 midterm strategy of making the election a referendum on an incumbent Republican president mired in controversy rather than offering a compelling alternative vision. But voters should consider the choice: Mr. Biden quietly promises to be the most radical president in U.S. history.
The parallels to 2006 are clear: George W. Bush faced the aftermath of Katrina and Iraq; Donald Trump is blamed for the coronavirus and the violence plaguing America’s cities. Mrs. Pelosi kept her Democratic troops out of the way, as the saying goes, when their enemy was in the process of destroying himself; Mr. Biden hides in his basement and keeps the focus on Mr. Trump…

The media have been fascinated with the incredibly rare anti-Trump Republican. While polls find 90% of Republican voters intend to vote for Trump, reporters continue to ignore them and obsess over the rare outliers. These intrepid souls, willing to endure overexposure, are lavished with lucrative commentator roles, flattering profiles, and renewed relevance. However, as the novelty of dismissing Trump in increasingly strident terms has worn off, some of these media darlings are now discovering the need to pursue a second act to maintain the attention. They have chosen to target the entire Republican Party and its Senate majority in particular.
While many establishment Republicans opposing Trump simply resent their diminished influence, there are principled reasons they could cite. First, Trump has explicitly broken with traditional Republican positions on trade and immigration, imposing tariffs and reducing even legal immigration. Before his election, there was strong mainstream Republican support for Trade Promotion Authority and the idea of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, if not Barack Obama’s specific deal, as a hedge against China’s growing influence. Second, Trump has demonstrated no interest in deficit reduction and open hostility to entitlement reform. Both were hallmark priorities of Speaker Paul Ryan, the Republican nominee for vice president in 2012…
