The social issues election?

Over on Fox Business, a number of their hosts insist that this will be an economic election. The truth is that most of the top-tier candidates have a strong economic platform to run on. The top-tier candidates each want to return to lower taxes, fewer regulations and energy independence. While Donald Trump isn't that interested in fiscal restraint, Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy definitely are interested in fiscal restraint.

Meanwhile, Ramaswamy and DeSantis are totally comfortable talking about things like the woke agenda, the trans faux war and education/school choice. For instance, Gov. DeSantis attacked Joe Biden over last Saturday's Pride event at the White House. That's the event where "transgender activist Rose Montoya [took] his top off after meeting the president."

Afterwards, Gov. DeSantis said "I think when you have the inappropriate conduct at the White House with, like, these transgenders flashing people nude and all this stuff, you know, it’s just totally, totally inappropriate. And I think even the White House had to acknowledge it was inappropriate, but I would ask them, if it is inappropriate to do that at the White House, which I certainly think it is, why do you want to have that curriculum jammed into a second grader’s classroom? That’s what you’re always talking about."

Notice how Gov. DeSantis tied the Pride Month criticism with a contrasting statement on policy. It's as if Gov. DeSantis said 'Yes, Montoya's actions were inappropriate but if it's inappropriate for adults to see this stuff, why is it ok for there to be pornographic books in grade school libraries?'

It's impossible picturing Trump putting out that message. It just isn't who he is. I don't think that's because he doesn't care. I think it's because it's never been a priority for him. Look at how natural Gov. DeSantis looks delivering this message:

Check this out, too:

The White House backpedal has started:
After facing significant backlash over the event, the White House claimed that the behavior was "inappropriate and disrespectful for any event at the White House."

"It is not reflective of the event we hosted to celebrate LGBTQI+ families or the other hundreds of guests who were in attendance," a White House spokesperson said. "Individuals in the video will not be invited to future events."

Right. The LGBTQI+ crowd is always well-behaved. The truth is that we're as worried about woke society as we are about our wallets. We aren't more worried about Woke, Inc. than we're worried about our wallets. Thanks to Biden's policies, though, he's screwed up so much of what we think of as important to the point of needing a total overhaul.

We need a fresh perspective and a new voice to make these important changes. This is too important a moment to miss this opportunity. Trump has the perspective to make some of these changes but he doesn't have the fresh voice to persuade the masses into making these changes.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
