Know Thy Enemy

The effort to develop a “foundational progressive infrastructure at the community level” is well underway, and President Trump’s conservative – populist coalition should take notice that there is a new enemy on the battlefield.

September 23 Conservatives To Rally In DC And Omaha

HomeMakers for America is hosting the Mom’s March for America in Omaha, NE and Tea Party Patriots and FreedomWorks are sponsoring a "Keep Your Promises" rally in DC. We urge all of our friends and readers to attend in person or via the internet.

Outsiders vs. Insiders: Single-payer ‘Berniecare’ shows how far left the Democrats have shifted

Democrats have gone off the deep-end with this socialized medicine nonsense and the GOP stands to benefit politically from it. The question now becomes whether Americans will believe the promises Republicans make to fight against Sanders and his cabal of socialists.

Change The Life Of A Young Conservative

By: Richard A. Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
As a general rule, the left does a far better job of marketing and communicating their dangerous ideas and policies than we conservatives do marketing freedom and liberty.  I plan to change that with my October 12th seminar.

Outsiders vs. Insiders: By flirting with Dems is Trump just trying to make GOP leaders envious?

The days and weeks ahead will reveal more of what President Trump really thinks about immigration. For now conservatives should be confident that he has not yet revealed all of his cards. Above all Trump wants to keep his promises; perhaps he needs a little leeway to do just that.

Strike a Deal with China on North Korea

The administration’s best shot would be to mix diplomacy and sanctions in an initiative backed by the Chinese. But winning that assistance requires persuasion rather than compulsion. The administration must convince Beijing that pressing the North further is in China’s interest as well as America’s interest.

I Endorse Judge Roy Moore In The Alabama Republican Senate Runoff
Richard A Viguerie, CHQ Chairman | 9/15/17

By Richard A  Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
The most powerful slogan in American politics is the simple phrase, “Send them a message.” As the Alabama Republican Senate runoff approaches conservatives can send the Republican establishment an unmistakable message by supporting and voting for Judge Roy Moore for Senate.

When Did We Start Believing Pelosi And Schumer?
George Rasley, CHQ Editor | 9/15/17

The White House and Congress are going to talk about how to resolve DACA, that means we conservatives must get organized to fight another battle like the one that defeated Eric Cantor in 2014 and brought the last discussion of an amnesty bill to an abrupt conclusion.

Outsiders vs. Insiders: Establishment still suffers from Steve Bannon derangement syndrome
Jeffrey A. Rendall | 9/15/2017

Donald Trump’s political legacy is yet to be fully written. He’s a one-of-a-kind force in American politics. If Republican leaders were smart they’d follow his lead or the voters just might recognize the GOP for what it’s become: an establishment party that doesn’t stand for anything.

RINOs and Democrats Still Pushing Transgenders on the Military
CHQ Staff | 9/14/17

Just when we thought the issue of transgenders in the military had finally been laid to rest, Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Susan Collins (R-ME) announced their co-sponsorship of an amendment to force the armed forces to retain and recruit transgender personnel.

NumbersUSA POLL: Most voters want refugee numbers cut to 25,000 or less
CHQ Staff | 9/14/17

More than half of likely 2018 congressional voters preferred the United States admit 25,000 or fewer "refugees," with 39% preferring to admit no "refugees" with the US instead assisting refugees in safe zones close to their home countries.

Outsiders vs. Insiders: Conservatives beware of West Wing Democrat salesmen bearing promises
Jeffrey A. Rendall | 9/14/2017

Passing tax reform should be a no-brainer for the GOP. They run on the issue every year and there’s broad consensus that rates need to be cut. Donald Trump’s presidency could hinge on what takes place in the next few months; beyond that, the entire republic could be at stake.

  • Remember When Republicans Were Conservative?
    Sen. Rand Paul, Daily Caller

    With this next three months, conservatives, and really all Republicans, need to get together and act.  We need to insist that there will be no debt ceiling increase the next time if we aren’t heard, and if reforms aren’t enacted. I plan to start right now — not wait until December.  Last week, I met with conservative fighters in both the House and Senate to put together a coalition that says, “Stop.”  No more spending without real reforms.

  • What Truly Imperils A Free Society?
    Patrick J. Buchanan, The American Conservative

    The Justice Department should report on hate crimes by white racists. But from the stats, anti-white racism is far more common and far more manifest in crimes of violence. Who reports that truth? The left has been marinated in an ideology where the enemy is always to the right. People blinded by ideology, unable to see the true enemies of their civilization, end up losing it, and their lives as well.

  • The Old Ways Were Better
    William Murchison, The American Spectator

    The old standards were better than the new ones. It’s impossible to believe otherwise. The voluntary, the willingly embraced, is everywhere and always preferable to the involuntary, the coerced; the way of the black jack, the courtroom, the jail cell. I should think Betsy DeVos senses as much.

  • New deadline as standoff deepens between House, FBI over Trump dossier
    Byron York, Washington Examiner

    The prospect of the FBI adopting a partisan opposition research project raised "questions about the FBI's independence from politics," said Republican Sen. Charles Grassley, who is also investigating the dossier. In the end, it's always possible that the GOP's concerns are exaggerated, that there is little to the story. That's what the House committee wants to find out -- without, so far, information from the FBI that could shed light on the matter.

  • The Real Title of Hillary’s Book: Why I Should’ve Won
    Kyle Smith, National Review

    What Happened is likely to disappoint both those who cried on Election Night and those who spent the wee hours of November 9 spraying their homes with the contents of a case of Veuve Clicquot. Yet there is poignancy here: She had every expectation of becoming the most powerful woman in the history of the world. Instead she’ll go down in the books defined by three gigantic public humiliations: the Lewinsky scandal and two losing presidential campaigns in which she was the heavy favorite.

  • America’s unfriendly skies
    Stephen Moore, Washington Times

    A modernized air traffic control system would eliminate many, if not all of, the airline ticket taxes, and move toward a genuine user fee structure for use of the air space — something that will probably never happen as long as lobbyists are setting the pricing structure. Many liberal Republicans and Democrats may vote with the corporate interests and keep Congress in control. This gives more clout to the politicians and retains the tax preferences for the millionaires. Keep that in mind the next time a liberal professes to care about the “little guy.”

  • The Last Best Hope to Euthanize Obamacare
    David Catron, The American Spectator

    In GCHJ, the Senate has a replacement bill whose provisions make more sense than Obamacare from the perspectives of economics, morality, and equitable distribution of health care resources among the citizenry. Moreover, the meter is running and there is no viable alternative. If GCHJ doesn’t pass, America loses and the Democrats may well retake Congress in 2018.

  • Over DACA, an acute case of Trump Panic Syndrome
    Byron York, Washington Examiner

    The whole episode changed pretty much nothing. Anyone who followed Trump during the campaign knows he is headed toward some sort of accommodation for DACA recipients. And anyone who follows the Trump administration and Congress knows there will be showdowns on Capitol Hill over the wall and other border security and enforcement measures. That is where the DACA issue stood before the freakout of Wednesday night and Thursday morning, and that is where the issue stood afterward. All that panic for nothing.

  • Trump ‘experts’ let imaginations run wild with dog-whistle political attacks
    Charles Hurt, Washington Times

    Today, the entire Democratic Party has flatly rejected any notion of American pride or recognizing the unique principles that make it a beacon of freedom to the world. President Obama and his haughty disdain for the Founders, the Constitution and true freedom was the final, humiliating evisceration of American pride among Democrats.

  • On Criminal Justice, Sessions Is Returning DOJ to the Rule of Law
    Andrew C. McCarthy, National Review

    If the public has truly been won over to the notion that incarcerating criminals is counterproductive, the next step is very simple: Pass laws that amend the penal code. In the meantime, the Justice Department’s job is to enforce the laws we have. As Attorney General Sessions recognizes, that means charging the most serious, readily provable offense.

  • The 'Dreamers' Can Stay but Never Vote
    Roger L. Simon, PJ Media

    Those millions of legal immigrants  from all over the world who stood in line and played by the rules deserve the right to determine this country's future in elections. Those that didn't, don't.  If the extent of the "Dreamers'" American dream is so great that they feel an overwhelming desire to vote, they are free to go home and wait in line like everybody else.

  • Trump Turnaround Puts New Tax-Cut Writing on the Wall
    Larry Kudlow, Investors Business Daily

    Trump has cleared the decks for tax cuts and reform. Make no mistake: Trump is absolutely committed to tax cuts. This is completely unlike the health care muddle. And critical here is the argument Trump is making: A big drop in large- and small-business tax rates will mostly benefit middle-class wage earners.

  • Trump Loves Cheers, But Will Regret Cozying up to Dems
    Patrick J. Buchanan, The American Conservative

    Trump’s capitulation, if that is what turns out to be, calls to mind George H. W. Bush’s decision in 1990 to raise the Reagan tax rates in a deal engineered for him by a White House-Hill coalition, that made a mockery of his “Read my lips! No new taxes!” pledge of 1988. For agreeing to feed the beast of Big Government, rather than cut its rations as Reagan sought to do, Bush was called a statesman. By the fall of ’92, the cheering had stopped.

  • Republicans, help Trump avoid the near occasions of sin
    Editors, Washington Examiner

    The 2016 election result was shocking not only because of Trump's unexpected win of the presidency but also because of Republicans' surprising retention of Congress. But it's not enough for them to smile and bask in a team victory. Republicans were elected to produce results. Part of that means keeping Trump on the straight and narrow, and away from alliances with Democratic leaders who are only striving to weaken and undermine him.

  • Secularist Dogmas That Live Loudly Within Lefties
    George Neumayr, The American Spectator

    As many of the founding fathers explained, the Constitution was written for a “Christian people” and they correctly surmised it wouldn’t survive the dissolution of Christianity. The left’s anti-constitution, the so-called “living constitution” which Feinstein was in effect demanding that Amy Coney Barret uphold, represents the fulfillment of the founders’ fears.
