McCann: The founders provided remedies for a runaway judiciary

By Steve McCann | American Thinker, Commentary Recently a gaggle of rogue U.S. District Court judges have issued numerous restraining orders and opinions aimed at curtailing, and in some cases overturning, the constitutional authority of President Trump as the head of the executive branch of government. There have been a series of court orders that rival the most egregious judicial decisions in American history, virtually all of which dramatically undermine constitutional separation of powers as well the sovereignty of this nation. What the country is witnessing is the culmination of many decades of ever-expanding judicial activism and the cowardice of the Congress to exert its prerogative to rein in this runaway usurpation of political power. The matter of the supremacy and influ...

Joondeph: Democrats stand for Ukraine but sit for America

By Brian C. Joondeph | American Thinker Republicans hold only slim majorities in Congress, particularly in the House. Midterm elections typically shift control to the party not in the White House. Democrats need only a few more House seats to hinder President Trump’s final two years in office and will seek to impeach him daily until he leaves in January 2029.Trump’s first month in office has been like a wrecking ball, disastrous for the entrenched ruling class and administrative state. The unavoidable chaos resulting from dismantling a massive bureaucracy, exacerbated by corporate media gaslighting, could tilt enough midterm votes to flip at least one house of Congress to the Democrats.That’s the likely scenario, assuming Democrats present a compelling and attractive alternative agen...

Joondeph: Along with illegal immigrants, infectious diseases are crossing America’s border

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker For the past four years, our national borders have been as porous as a sieve, allowing thousands of illegal aliens to cross into America every day. Few are screened for criminal backgrounds, useful skills, intentions toward America, or infectious diseases. The criminal toll from invading gang members is significant, but not every border crosser is a thief, rapist, pedophile, or murderer. However, everyone crossing the border could be a carrier of an infectious disease -- a walking petri dish of bacteria and other microorganisms that may cause far greater problems than the criminal aliens.

Joondeph: When did changing weather become climate change?

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker It’s sunny and unseasonably warm where I am today, but a week ago, it was snowy and unseasonably cold. A climate warrior might label the former as global warming, the latter as global cooling, or the composite as climate change. A rational person would call it weather.

Joondeph: Who the hell is running the country?

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker In name, Joe Biden is America’s 46th president. His “signature” is on official documents. He is photographed periodically, whether in the Oval Office, wandering in foreign lands or inappropriately sniffing or nibbling young children. But he is the president in name only.Is Joe Biden even real? As this tweet illustrates, his height varies. In one photo, Donald Trump and Barack Obama are the same height. In another, Obama is taller than Biden, and in another photo, Biden is taller than Trump. Like an Escher print, this optical illusion begs the question of whether there is more than one “Joe Biden.” READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT AMERICAN THINKER Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in commentary pieces are thos...

Joondeph: Biden leaving a steaming pile of Syria under Trump’s Christmas tree

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | American Thinker President Joe Biden is often unaware of his surroundings or behavior, but he surely knows that Christmas is almost here. Playing Santa Claus, he is handing out gifts — pardons to existing and as-yet-unprosecuted criminals and members of Congress and special gifts to those succeeding him in the White House, particularly President-elect Donald Trump.Concerning Biden’s cognition, we are now learning that the White House was fully aware of his mental decline since before he took office and concealed this information from the public, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Joondeph: Trump is flushing the expert class down the toilet

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker President-elect Donald Trump is taking a media break from being called a fascist or Nazi to the latest criticism of filling his cabinet positions with those not deemed to be “experts” by the self-proclaimed “expert class” of government. Who defines “expert”? Simple: those deemed experts by the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, or administrative class embeds. In other words, it is a circle-jerk of self-professed experts insisting they are the only true experts. Confirmation bias anyone? Reuters bemoans Trump’s approach of going outside the “expert class”, who have gotten so much wrong over the years, instead favoring those with practical experience. “U.S. President-elect Donald Trump chose loyalists with little e...

Dr. Joondeph: Presidential polling postmortem winners and losers

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Election 2024 is in the rearview mirror. Pollsters won’t be bombarding voters anymore. Today’s entertainment is liberal heads exploding on social media or the latest Democrat threatening - but not actually following through on - everything from drinking cyanide to setting themselves on fire to leaving the country if Donald Trump won the election. So far, few have followed through on their promises, although a handful have left the country. Good riddance to them. Trump did win, bigly, in a landslide of sorts. He won the Electoral College handily, 312 to 226. Trump also won the popular vote, 49.9% to 48.3%. As a divided country, the popular vote will always be close. Thus, in 1980, w...

Boddie: What it really looks like to run for office

By C.S. Boddie | Guest Commentary, American Thinker They say all politics is local. I say local politics is a lot of work. Also, it is affected by lying national politicos with lots of money, which is not fair, as well as local volunteers who help or won’t help. I learned all this and more when I supported my husband, Peter, in a run for state representative in Colorado during 2024.  I’d like to offer a few observations. Local politics is still important, and we’re glad Peter ran.  We’re not sorry that we both put in time, effort, and money for the project.  Even though Peter lost — no fun — we still think it was worth doing.

The Case of the Disappearing Ballots

By Wendi Strauch Mahoney, American Thinker Mail-in ballots are on the docket in several ongoing election fraud cases in Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., and Maryland. The lawsuits ask for transparency with regard to contracts with the United States Postal Service (USPS) to transport alleged completed mail-in ballots. The lawsuits hope to get to the bottom of questions about the legitimacy of the ballots, where the ballots are going, and what is being done with them. These cases may settle questions around whether fraudulent ballots are being used in our elections to stuff the ballot box, among other things. In October 2020, thousands of mail-in ballots were allegedly transported across state lines from Bethpage N.Y. to PA. Evidence shows that ballots were loaded on to a truc...
