In New Haven, it’s not free speech if you hurt someone’s feelings

1 day ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

In New Haven, Connecticut, home to Yale University, a conservative woman spent a year embroiled in the criminal justice system based on the allegation that she had hurled a racial slur at someone. Ultimately, the case was dismissed because videos proved her innocence, but the whole case perfectly illustrates how leftists are destroying free speech by redefining the line between speech and violence.
Trump’s ‘One, Big, Beautiful Bill’ will get its day in Congress

1 day ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

The House Ways and Means Committee finally released its tax reform package yesterday, to which it gave the official title of “One, Big, Beautiful Bill.” This fulfills Trump’s promise to the American people to do comprehensive tax reform, rather than piecemeal reform.
A new book purports to reveal Biden’s physical and mental infirmities

1 day ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

One of the constants during Joe Biden’s 2020 run for office and throughout his presidency was conservatives commenting on footage showing his incoherent speech, brittle movements, and constant falls, along with notecards from his handlers practically telling him how to breathe. Conservatives always said the same thing: There’s something deeply wrong with Biden. He’s breaking down physically and seems to be suffering from fast-moving dementia.
Add reining in totalitarian regulations to Trump’s awesome executive orders

1 day ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

Just a week ago, I published a lengthy post in which I listed the numerous Trump executive orders that are making America stronger, safer, saner, and a place where normal people can live happy and prosperous lives. Since then, Trump has gone on to promote domestic production of critical medicines, transfer funds from illegal aliens to homeless veterans, and end the practice of having Americans subsidize cheap prescription medicines abroad All those orders made headlines.
U.S.-China trade dispute: Ding, ding, end of round one

1 day ago | americanthinker.com | Noel S. Williams

It is very early days in the ongoing U.S.-China trade disputes. After round one, America claims victory. China also claims victory. But if we do have to keep score, here’s the tie-breaker: Schumer says China got the better of Trump, therefore, America really must have “won” because Schumer is beneath contempt. He gives idiots a bad name. President Trump said yesterday that China “agreed to open up” and suspend its trade barriers as part of the temporary tariff reduction deal.
The Counterproductive Move To Consolidate Conservative Media

1 day ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

From my perch at American Thinker, rumors sometimes come my way. One of them, seemingly a solid one, is that a well-financed effort is underway to acquire several major conservative outlets, including Human Events, The Post Millennial, and The Daily Caller, to roll them up under a single owner. According to what I’ve heard, the forces behind this effort are donors sympathetic to the vision of the Republican Party that Liz Cheney, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, and Mitt Romney espouse.
The Chinese admit that Joe Biden’s weakness fed their trade depredations

2 days ago | americanthinker.com | Andrea Widburg

In his press conference about the 90-day trade deal he reached with the Chinese, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, in less than a minute, threw in a small detail about Joe Biden’s presidency that speaks volumes. First, it reveals how utterly feckless Joe Biden was and, second, it reveals how America benefits from a manifestly strong president.
Scott Bessant achieved a solid 90-day deal with China and the stock market loves it

I was among those who believed in Trump’s trade war gamble because I thought that Trump had correctly assessed the relative strength of the parties in the negotiation, as well as the fact that he had no time before the midterms for anything other than dramatic shock therapy. It seems that, at least for now, Trump was correct.
Monday, MAGA Monday, can trust that day

2 days ago | americanthinker.com | Noel S. Williams

A very catchy tune indeed from the Mamas & the Papas is titled “Monday, Monday.” Part of it goes like this: “Monday, Monday, can’t trust that day, Monday, Monday, it just turns out that way, oh Monday, Monday, won’t go away, Monday, Monday, it’s here to stay.” Based on the news so far this Monday, we don’t want it to go away; for example: Our brilliant negotiators are bringing China to heel, and that’s helping heal markets.
The lore of ‘climate change’

2 days ago | americanthinker.com | Jack Hellner

For decades we had been told that humans, CO2, and our use of natural resources cause global warming. Then, when temperatures didn’t consistently warm, they changed the narrative and language to “climate change.” It has been known since the 1970s that this isn’t true.
