Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich appeared on Fox News Monday night as Iowa voters caucused and delivered a decisive victory for Donald Trump. Gingrich predicted that Trump would not only win the nomination, but would win the White House in November with a minimum of 29 states. "Trump is not a candidate. Trump is the leader of a nationwide movement to take back power from the Establishment." said Newt.

Trump won big, period. He won 98 of Iowa's 99 counties. He won women voters. He won men. He won urban, suburban & rural voters. He won every age group over 30, losing only the 18 to 29 group. He won Evangelical Christians. He won college graduates. He won those without a college degree. In short, he won everybody. The Iowa Caucuses confirmed what the polls had said for months. Voters are angry, and want to move the nation in a different direction.

Well, it’s already happening. “Two major California Pizza Hut franchisees — PacPizza & Southern California Pizza — are laying off over 1,200 Delivery Workers ahead of the new Statewide Minimum Wage hike for fast food workers that starts April 1st,” reports the Nation’s Restaurant News. Remember last year's UAW strike? For huge raises & benefits? Democrats rallied around them, the White House took their side. Now that “victory” is turning into what anyone could predict: inflation increases for the average American.

We’re all flawed human beings – but we can all learn eternally valuable things from each other. Those heralded in history as our Civil Rights Champions were no different. They had a calling on their imperfect lives, they drew women and men to their cause in the murkiness that is our humanity. Most people know only of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech, and its ability to stir the soul toward justice. America's seen an undeniable fulfillment of so much of that Dream.

Privately, "The Left" knows that its historically unprecedented strangulation of "Democracy as we know it" is increasing Trump's popularity. But like an addict, it cannot quit its Trump fix. Democrats are tearing the country apart in a manner not seen since the Civil War era, and is creating historic, anti-democratic precedents that will someday boomerang on them should Republicans win in November.

Jews are feeling increasingly afraid and unwelcome. Last week, girls on the basketball team of a Jewish private school in suburban Hartsdale, New York, were jabbed and hit with antisemitic slurs by players from Yonkers' Roosevelt High School. "I support Hamas, you f---ing Jew," a Roosevelt player snarled. The game had to be called off in the third quarter, and the Jewish girls needed school security to help them leave.

President Joe Biden says he's "down" with Black voters – and I'm not speaking street slang. But don't tell Joe... It appears they're starting to figure out how Democrats have duped them for decades. A new USA Today/Suffolk University Poll says that 1-in-5 Black Voters will support a 3rd-Party Candidate instead of the president. That's down substantially from the 92% of non-Hispanic Blacks who voted for him in 2020. Why? Because Mr. Biden's using race as a political weapon hasn't improved their lives.

California, New York & Illinois are the three states that lost the most population last year – and they've nearly lost a combined total of 5 million people over the past decade. As a result, California & New York could both lose another three Congressional Seats by the end of the decade, and Illinois another two. Did I mention they are also the states with the highest taxes? Dallas, Austin, Miami, Nashville, Charlotte, Tampa & Salt Lake City are now the hot spots that could gain those seats.

Nikki Haley isn’t dumb, though you might be able to convince me otherwise now after the way she’s continually stuck her foot in her mouth. I wonder if she’s trying to sabotage her chances even at a VP nomination or if she's always been this bad of a candidate, and I just wasn’t paying attention to her. Both are possible, but neither would surprise me. Nikki Haley isn’t dumb, though.

Harvard may be assuming that the forced resignation of its President Claudine Gay has ended its long-simmering scandal – but Gay's removal is not the end of the school's dilemma, it's the beginning. Gay stepped down, remember, amid serious allegations of serial plagiarism – without refuting the charges! And she proved neither able or willing to discipline those on the campus who were defiantly anti-semitic in speech, or in action. In respective, racial animus was cited as a reason for her removal.

The resignation of Harvard's president Claudine Gay – after "facing national backlash for her response to Hamas' Oct. 7th attack, and allegations of plagiarism in her scholarly work" – does not solve the problem of America's oldest college... or those of many other of the nation's supposedly "elite" Colleges & Universities. She and many other university presidents are only a symptom of what's wrong with the country's system of higher education – and it exists from bottom, to top.

The U.S. needs a strategy to limit the burden on Americans and protect our quality of life. Instead, the Democratic Party merely virtue signals, saying, "Welcome, take whatever we have." As of Jan. 1, California is offering Medi-Cal to approximately 760,000 undocumented migrants of all ages. The state faces a staggering $68 billion deficit.

Anyone can look back, it takes a special bunch of powers to look forward. And, as long as you don’t think about it too much or revisit this column, you’ll find my predictive powers rank up there with whoever is touted today as someone with predictive powers (The only name that comes to mind is Carnac the Magnificent, but no one under 70 will know who that is). So, let us look forward to what we can expect to happen (or not) in 2024.

We may as well rename the Colorado Supreme Court as the Colorado Kangaroo Court. Without Trump being convicted of "insurrection" for the Jan. 6th riot, four Democrat-appointed judges have decided he must be removed from the state's Primary Ballot. Network news touted the result as "historic," "stunning," "explosive" – and proclaimed their "solemn duty to apply the law, without fear or favor." It looks like elitist liberal journalists are growing increasingly uncomfortable with Biden's struggle – in their own polls.

The Colorado Supreme Court has construed the 14th Amendment to bar Donald J. Trump from running for President. Does that Court have jurisdiction to construe and execute Section 3? It does not. Is President Trump ineligible to appear on the ballot because of Section 3? He is not. Under Section 5 of the 14th Amendment, the Colorado Supreme Court lacks jurisdiction.

Liberal Democrat Logic is on display in almost every issue you can name. For instance, on the Impeachment "Inquiry" of Joe Biden, Democrats’ & The Media's defense seems to be: "There's no credible evidence." What are they talking about? There’s Joe’s emails & text messages, his expensive cars & vacation homes, there's whistleblower's testimony, bank records, and Joe’s bragging of getting a Ukrainian Official fired by leveraging American aid. I probably left some things out, but I've made a list by subject – and it makes no sense!

Honestly, when I first saw the recent story of a sex tape being filmed in the U.S. Senate, I was a little confused. Who hires a guy who posted sexually explicit pictures of himself all over social media? What office hired him in the first place? Ultimately, I find it odd the guy was hired to begin with. Did no one do a simple Internet Search during the hiring process? The answer is: Democrats have no standards – and this will soon be a requirement for being hired by them anyway.

Democrats say they want certain places to “look like America” but the true “look” of America is people the most qualified getting the job, the best winning, and people be able to go wherever they want without regard to their skin color holding them back. We fought a war against Democrats to end slavery, then spent 100 years fighting the segregation and Jim Crow laws they put in place to keep people hating each other.

Its crucial for the public to recognize that decisions regarding state insurance policies – especially in Texas – resonate nationally. The decisions we make here, impact crucial markets and hardworking families in other states all across the nation. So as a State Legislator, my duty is to safeguard consumers and emphasize that a state-centric approach to accountability and regulation is only effective when each state retains control. Such weighty matters should not be delegated to out-of-state groups. Here's why.

Ever since the testimony before Congress one week ago, Ivy League Presidents and the nation's Compliant Press have had a tough go of things. The University of Pennsylvania's president has stepped down, as the school is seeing significant endowment money pulled. And now Harvard’s President, Claudine Gay, finds herself in the crosshairs. In truth, what the press is willing to forgive with Gay is completely confounding when we look at the reactions to their preferred target of late – Elon Musk.
