Let's see how Trump stacks up by those standards. 1. Small Government. Trump is absolutely opposed to this. Trump and his cronies believe the government has the right to compel people to behave the way they want. Consider his campaign to punish universities. And his extortion campaign for...

What are your traditional conservative values?

I have been hearing for decades politicians promise that they can save money by eliminating waste, fraud and abuse. Why is it different this time? Trump welcomed the F-47 program with a cost of about $250,000,000 per plane. This plane is already obsolete and it has not even been built yet. How...

Trump has made many contradictory promises. Trump declared that Social Security, Defense & Medicare was off limits and was reluctant to cut Medicaid. There was no path to cutting taxes without increasing the deficit. Trump did promise to reduce inflation but he has consistently pursued...

The stuff about stealing elections is made up by Fox News. It has been rejected by Republican and Democratic judges. Fox News agreed to pay almost a billion dollars in a libel settlement. So far, Trump has stolen $23,000 from my company with his illegal taxes. You can check the law yourself to...

There was no significant amount of money in those provisions. Medicaid is generally not available to illegal aliens. I just heard Speaker Johnson saying the bill will put more in money in the pockets of Americans. When you do that without expanding the economy, you have inflation. Does he not...

In 1982, top income tax rates were lowered from 70% to 35%, having a substantial economic effect. For the "big beautiful bill", the top rate is kept at 37% rather reverting to 39.6%. It is hard to see that would have much of an impact. In 1993, the top rate jumped from 31% to 39.6% and the...

So Cubans should be treated differently because of their proximity to the US?

What about Venezuelans and Nicaraguans fleeing communist regimes?

Janet Reno did worse than that, remember her lethal mishandling of the Waco situation. However, do you support going back to giving refugee status to Cuban refugees, as was the case before 1995? I think that would be good policy.

The excessive use of force is an issue here. But why do you think Elian Gonzalez should not have been returned to his father? Not only did his father want him back, he was fully deportable under US policy.

So you object to returning children to their father. And someone who had entered the country illegally.

Trump did not merely sign these deficit increasing bills, he fought hard for them. The deficit didn't rise because of laws increasing spending, it is because of combination of tax cuts and retirement of the baby boom generation. The "Big Beautiful Bill" should be called the "Inflation Increase...

Why is avoiding the expiration of income tax cuts better than inflation or tariffs? Why are you sure that "he thinks he can fix the deficit later"? He has increased the budget deficit every year that he held office. Even before holding office, Trump was notorious for lavish spending and...

Isn't the President the RINO-in-chief> He has prioritized tax cuts over reducing the deficit. The deficit will be paid for with inflation. If Harris had won, we would had a lower deficit and less inflation?

The Senate just passed a 3.3 trillion$ deficit increase, ignoring the Senate's own rules in their eagerness to increase the national debt. Only 3 Republicans voted against. The RINO's have won with the help the RINO president and the RINO vice-president. This will all be paid for with inflation.

What was this whole thing about? The effect on Iran's nuclear program was minimal. Given Trump's remarks about the cease-fire violations, I think he figured out that he was being played by Netanyahu.

If you want commentary on the Constitution by someone who actually has read the Constitution and supporting documents try out Eugene Volokh at Reason. Everything has citations so you can confirm what he is saying.

Iranians had already pulled material out of the sites. The effect of the attacks was minimal.

John Yoo cites Alexander Hamilton's call for an energetic executive. However in Federalist Paper 69, Hamilton explicitly rejected the view of a unilateral Presidential war-making power. I am sure that John Yoo has read the Federalist Papers. He is deliberately ignoring their actual content. You...
