Democrats appear to be walking the same walk that Republicans walked in 2016. They want something new and completely different. Former Vice President Joe Biden must be in shock that he is taking a far back seat to a 78-year old socialist who recently had a heart attack. He may not even be able to rely on black voters, whom he assumed would be there for him. According to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders are running neck and neck with black voters in the upcoming South Carolina primary, where 60% of Democrat voters are...

President Trump keeps rising from the ashes like the Phoenix while Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s disgust and frustration reached a fever pitch and the entire country watched her meltdown. Pelosi’s raged couldn’t be contained as she tore up her copy of Trump’s State of the Union address. Tearing Trump’s powerful speech showed how everything Pelosi and her crew of malcontents have done to destroy Trump has failed. Many claim Pelosi’s emotional collapse was staged. I disagree. When you are a public figure, you always want to be seen as being in control. Losing it and having it captured...

United States President Donald J. Trump alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced on Sunday the framework for a massive trade deal between the two countries. While nothing has been signed yet, the potential agreement could bolster both economies by billions."We’ve been working on a deal with Japan for a long time. And we’ve agreed in principle," President Trump told the press at the G7 Summit."We successfully reached consensus with regard to the core elements related to agricultural and industrial trade," Abe told the media via a translator. "We still have some remaining work that has to be done at...

Texas Representative Joaquin Castro's stunt he pulled this week by shining a spotlight on San Antonio citizens and businesses who donated to President Donald J. Trump backfired spectacularly as he was harangued for the obvious danger and division his tweets promoted. But, unfortunately for Rep. Castro, the ire did not come just from conservatives and Trump supporters, but also his own donors. Apparently, the list of MAGA supporters also included folks who gave to Castro's campaign as well. On Sunday night, Rep. Castro tweeted, "Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump — the owner...

Few may realize the important role that think tanks play as places where world leaders come to share ideas, discuss world problems, and seek solutions to the issues their countries face. For example, The Heritage Foundation not only works with our own government here in the U.S., but with leaders and thinkers from around the world. Recent visitors to Heritage include El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, EU Ambassador Stavros Lambrinidis, and ministers and ambassadors from nations large and small. New U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is...

President Donald J. Trump shocked many with his 2016 victory, particularly those who believed the polls that the mainstream media continuously pushed as proof there was simply no way that the real estate mogul could knock off the self-appointed heir-apparent Hillary Clinton for the presidency. However, he did win and did so in a dominating fashion. The polls were wrong in large part, Trump's 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale argues, because the polling methodology is outdated and cannot capture the diversity of opinions through the American electorate. "The country is too complex now just to call a couple of hundred people...
