The greatest presidents of the last century were "navalists": Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Ronald Reagan. All three knew that the United States is a sea power, and that to cede supremacy of the seas is to cede leadership of the world.

Trump was my guest—and I asked him if he intended to follow their examples in keeping a constant eye on our Navy.

I asked him about getting to a target of 330 ships.

DJT: Well, I'll be doing that. Yeah, I'll be doing that. But we're going to be announcing some things that are going to be very good having to do with the Navy. We need ships. We have to get ships. And maybe we'll use allies also, in terms of building ships. We might have to.

I heard a president who understands that America's standing in the world depends on its fleet, and not a fleet planned for 2050, but what is in the water today and soon. If he and John Phelan—his nominee to be our next Navy Secretary—are on the same page, the Navy's modernization can restart rapidly.

Encouraging stuff.

It’s a question that mainstream media should have asked in 2023, ’22 … or 2020. With just a few days left in Joe Biden’s presidency, USA Today’s Susan Page asked the outgoing president whether he would have had the “vigor to serve another four years in office.” Biden responded, “Who the hell knows?”

Everybody knows the answer to this question, especially after Biden’s cognitive decline got exposed for all to see in the June presidential debate. Everyone knew long before that too, including mainstream media, Democrats in the White House and on Capitol Hill, and anyone else who’s paying attention. The West Wing spent the last four years covering it up, and the media refused to report it.

“Who the hell knows” is a good question to ask in this scandal.  Who knew about Biden's cognitive decline? Who benefited from the cover-up? And most importantly, who has been has been actually making the decisions in Biden's presidency?

And: Why aren’t media organizations demanding these answers? Could it be because they are part of the cover-up?

Chief Justice John Roberts just issued his annual report on the federal judiciary. In it, he warned that officials from across the political spectrum have shown disregard for federal court rulings.

In fact, both sides aren’t equally guilty. President Trump has been critical of some Supreme Court cases and federal court judges. But he’s never defied a Supreme Court case. 

Joe Biden has. The Court struck down his student loan forgiveness program, but he went ahead anyway. And even boasted about it. 

Biden also attacked the Supreme Court in a State of the Union address. He then stood by as his Justice Department refused to protect justices from assassinations attempts after they overturned Roe v. Wade.

Perhaps the Chief Justice wanted to sound even handed. But Donald Trump has abided by all Supreme Court decisions, and has never attacked the Court’s institutional integrity. 

The distinction matters.

The United Kingdom is reeling under what may be the greatest sex abuse scandal in its history.
 
Thousands of young white girls were sadistically groomed, raped and trafficked by Pakistani men for more than a decade. Not only did government authorities know about the abuse and cover it up, but often bullied victims and their families when they came forward.

Conservative and Reform Party politicians now call for a national inquiry, but held power for 14 years without conducting one. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, a liberal, was the third most senior public prosecutor when these cases weren’t being prosecuted.

One local investigation revealed that some were ignored by authorities because of “nervousness about race.” 

How disgusting that government elites’ political correctness left vulnerable young girls brutally exploited, without justice or redress. 

It’s time for a full public airing of Britain’s very dirty linen.

Happy days may soon be here again. A wind of liberty and optimism seems forthcoming in the political leadership, not just here in the United States, but from Italy to Argentina. And now we're watching the UK and most immediately, our neighbor to the North and Canada.

With the fall of Justin Trudeau, more and more eyes and ears will be on Pierre Marcel Poilievre, the head of the Conservative Party in Canada. He is no ordinary MP nor conservative. Watch his speeches, watch his extemporaneous questions and answers with reporters. Watch his reach, comfort and depth with issues ranging from the economy to foreign relations, along with his rhetoric of morality of right and wrong. Think Margaret Thatcher meets Jordan Peterson, who Poilievre actually has met and likes.

You never know what forces can move the world in the right direction, but something beyond time and space to quote another leader of your Winston Churchill is happening right now. Watch our neighbors to the North. Watch Pierre Poilievre.

As President Joe Biden winds down his tenure as President, the bookends are nothing if not ignominious. He’s leaving the White House as he came in—on lies and fraud.

In numerous interviews and speeches over the years, Biden said the catalyst for his running for President was when he saw then-President Trump praising white nationalists in Charlottesville as “very fine people.”  But that claim—has been thoroughly and completely debunked. It’s a lie, a falsehood … that Biden is still willing to repeat. His entry to the presidency was based on a lie.

Now: We see documentation from White House staff—that Biden was of diminished mental capacity, not since June of this year, but since 2021! Aids and family tried to conceal it from the American people—gaslighting anyone who raised concerns.

So: Those are the bookends. A lie on one end. And a long lie—about his cognitive state—in between … a lie revealed on his way out.

Thank God this national nightmare is ending.

A terror attack on Bourbon Street on New Year’s Eve leaves at least 15 dead...

Senator John Kennedy has angrily promised his constituents in Louisiana answers. The rest of the country deserves answers as well for the incompetence of the FBI in the first 24 hours after an ISIS acolyte drove a rented truck into a crowd of revelers in New Orleans.

First, the FBI declared that it wasn’t a terror attack, despite the ISIS flag on the bumper of the truck and declarations on the perpetrator’s Facebook page making his motive clear. A few hours later, the bureau not only changed its position but then declared that the terrorist hadn’t acted alone. By the next day, however, the FBI reversed itself again and declared that the terrorist had acted alone.

How can Americans have confidence in any information coming from the FBI after that head-spinning 24 hours? The rush to dismiss the terrorism suggests that the bureau is much more interested in self-serving spin than investigation and transparency. 

The change of leadership cannot come soon enough.

The year 2025 begins as a clean slate, but things are going to get busy--fast. The state funeral for former President Jimmy Carter comes just a few days before the inauguration of Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States as the 47th president.

Trump has promised an avalanche of activity in his first hours in office. Get ready for what the military calls “predictable unpredictability.” It’s going to be a fast ride.

The Supreme Court is set to rule on some big cases in the year ahead. We are about to find out if the justices can tell a boy from a girl.

Political instability rules the day in much of the world. Decades ago, British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan was asked why the job was so hard. His answer was “Events, dear boy, events.” Well, get ready for some big events in 2025.

I pray that God will bless you, your work, and your family, and our nation in the year ahead.

President Biden has been on vacation … this time: the Virgin Islands.  One doesn’t know whether to celebrate that he’s not in Washington, D.C. or to lament that this has been the template for years—with record vacation time, a record lack of cabinet meetings and meetings with senior staff … not at the White House much at all … and when he was there, he wasn’t particularly present. So, who has been?—and who is running things?

Speculations have run from Dr. Jill Biden to others. But now we read in a major story in the Wall Street Journal, it was two aids none of us have heard of who, among other things, “would often repeat basic instructions to him.” 

Let me state it bluntly: That is not how our democratic republic is supposed to work. Government by anonymous and unknown aids in a Chernenko-like cover up operation? That’s the Soviet Union of yore.

It’s sad, but a relief to know, that this period of America governed by a headless horseman is coming to an end.

For more than two years, both the government and media organizations treated the lab-leak hypothesis of COVID-19’s origin as a conspiracy theory or intentional disinformation. Government-funded fact checkers helped deplatform those who argued in its favor, and Big Tech platforms censored and shut down accounts that insisted on discussing it.

Five years after the pandemic started in Wuhan, intelligence sources are finally leaking the truth before the new administration exposes it. The Defense Intelligence Agency’s bioweapons researchers conducted a study in 2021 that revealed that the spike protein that made COVID so contagious had shown evidence of human manipulation. It also exactly matched the process detailed in a 2008 paper published by the Wuhan scientists.

And yet the government and media suppressed all discussion of this obvious and likely explanation. The corruption of American media and their willingness to sell out free speech and dissent turned into a virus itself—attacking liberty and common sense.

If there’s a cure for this media virus, look to alternative media—like this outlet—and new media. Elite media is lost.
