2024 Candidates: The Good, The Bad, And The Pointless
The GOP presidential race is already plenty of fun, with everyone awesomely competing to be the least woke, except that New Hampshire maple syrup fungi Chris Sununu, who believes opposing leftists is not who we are oh well I never we’re better than that why is there a moose in my living room? We now have Vivek Ramaswamy in the race saying a bunch of great things but not being electable this time… → Read More
Mitch McConnell Is Really Getting Much, Much Worse
Editor's Note: Watch the latest episode of Kurt Schlichter's "Stream of Kurtiousness" below! Join Townhall VIP to support our conservative reporting and never miss a new episode! A big week for Mitch McConnell. He's very, very upset that people aren't buying that January 6 was the worst thing that ever happened – a hundred million times worse than 9/11 times Pearl Harbor. McConnell, of course,… → Read More
Leftists Don’t Get to Control What We Say
The Ruling Caste Seeks to Shame You Into Silence There was a great example at CPAC during the media bashing panel. The regime media is just too juicy a target not to kick now that it is on its back spazzing out like a dying roach, so we went after it. During the panel, I told the (true) story of how a sergeant in my Gulf War platoon asked if he could shoot reporters. I told the audience that a… → Read More
Trump’s Good Couple Weeks
If CPAC 2023 proved anything, it was that Donald Trump still has his dedicated fans – from Brick Suit Guy (a smart, nice dude who fully absolutely gets the wackiness of his act) to a family wearing shirts bearing one letter each of the ex-prezzy’s name to the scores regular folks who adore him, the president remains beloved. They lined up and waited for hours to see him speak again, and he… → Read More
California There We Go
And we have your movie recommendations in response to mine last week. Big Trouble for Governor Hairstyle It’s tough times for the Golden States socialist poohbah. First, stupid Joe Biden imagines that his competence and popularity brought the Democrats a big win in November. Actually, it was not that big a win – and it was mostly due to the gross incompetence of the Republican leaders. But… → Read More
Why Are the Red State Republicans So Soft?
If you are a California conservative, you are probably pretty based. In fact, you are probably heads-on-spikes based. I go speak to these people and these nice Republican ladies show you their “RINO Hunter” tatts and talk about how Jeb! is a … well, they are very graphic. California is blue, deep blue, and we Golden State patriots are a besieged minority, yet you look at the GOP base and if they… → Read More
Donald Trump Has the Best Day of His Ex-Presidency
Editor's Note: Watch the latest episode of Kurt Schlichter's "Stream of Kurtiousness!" Join Townhall VIP today to support our conservative reporting and never miss a new episode every Friday! Donald Trump was in East Palestine, Ohio, on Wednesday. This was the best day of his ex-presidency, without a doubt. What a contrast to the crusty, old man who went overseas and couldn't kiss up to the… → Read More
No More Mr. Nice Con
The hideous notion that conservatives should always be nice is rearing its ugly and misshapen head again, and we need to crush its skull with a Louisville Slugger. Recently, Matt Walsh went off on some womanface imposter who looks like a wimpy boy pretending to be a fugly girl, and some alleged conservatives clutched the same pearls he/she likes to wear. Why, Matt was mean. Mean! And Senator Tim… → Read More
I Don’t Want ‘A Better Tomorrow,’ I Want Victory
Wow, what a fun week. We had Nikki Haley come out and announce her 2024 presidential campaign – and I hope you read my Townhall column on Thursday, which was cruel and unusual (well, not "unusual" for me) because she is terrible. She's the cutting edge of 2005. A failed throwback to the time of declined management and absolute subservience on the part of conservatives. She is everything wrong… → Read More
No to Nikki Harris
Wait, did I say Nikki Harris? I meant Nikki Haley, but it's an understandable mistake. After all, as a good friend deep in politics recently pointed out to me, Nikki Haley is the Kamala Harris of the Republican Party. And now Nikki says she wants to be president, announcing her doomed candidacy with hilariously hackneyed and overwrought fanfare ("Now is the time for a strong and proud… → Read More
We Deserve Reparations From Stupid People
The City of San Francisco, the bayside burg that gave us Nancy Pelosi and sidewalk toilets, is now proposing the ultimate in nonsense – a few million bucks of reparations for everyone whose grandparents came from the right continent at the right time. Actually, it’s more generous than that, because you may also be eligible if you were a victim of the Drug War – that is, if you were a scumbag… → Read More
Biden Is Beijing’s Balloon Bestest Buddy
Biden Shows His Belly To The Top Dog Just when you think that Joe Biden and the regime minions cannot disgrace themselves any further comes the Chi Com balloon fiasco. One might think that a president, regardless of party, would take seriously the duty to defend our sovereign territory, but then a glance at what was once (under Trump) our southern border will dispel that notion. They will never… → Read More
Count Out Trump at Your Peril
Since its low energy announcement a few months ago, the 2024 Donald Trump presidential campaign has been a non-stop clusterfark of dinner dates with neo-Nazis, cavorting with the Conservative, Inc., likes of Lindsey Graham, disappointing fundraising, relitigating the 2020 election, and generating lame nicknames for a rival who is right on his Gucci’s heels. For his fans, it has been a festival… → Read More
Is Lindsey Graham a Democrat Plant?
Donald Trump is hanging out with Senator Lindsey Graham, and I don't get it. Tucker Carlson recently had a devastating takedown of the South Carolina senator, but it wasn't devastating enough because Lindsey Graham is pretty much everything wrong with the Republican Party. Is this guy a Democrat plant? Also, why is it that hardcore red states and the politicians from them are always the softest? → Read More
The DeSantis Strategy
Ron D Is Running By Not Running Donald Trump rekindled his bumpy campaign with a number of moves that make one scratch his head. His minions went to the Republican National Committee meeting and whipped votes for Ronna McDaniel – I watched it happen – even though he was formally neutral in the race. People took notice. And they also took notice when he went to South Carolina to talk about… → Read More
George Santos: Legend
Let’s make no mistake – perhaps the most important and consequential Republican of the current era is one George Santos. AKA Anthony Devolder. AKA drag queen Kitara Ravache. He is an absolute hero, and he has done more for the cause of conservatism than a thousand GOP suits parroting Cato Institute and/or Chamber of Commerce clichés. Sure, he has a track record of shocking scams, scores and… → Read More

The Case for Another Term for Win-Free Ronna McDaniel
Welcome to what has the potential to be my shortest column ever. I could live up to this title by submitting ten column inches of white space. Ronna is that bad, and a lesser attorney – which is pretty much all of them on Twitter – might shy away from the awesome challenge of making a case for why someone who has never won a federal election cycle and who 98% of GOP voters want going should get… → Read More

People need to get even. People need to see that if they cross anyone, they are going to get some payback. "That's just vengeance!" some might say. Well, yes. Vengeance is… → Read More
