President Trump told U.S. Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib — known collectively as ‘The Squad’ — to go back where they originally came from and to fix the broken, corrupt governments in those places before they try to fix America. What did he mean by this, and why does he continue to go after a handful of rookie lawmakers as part of his effort to get re-elected? Bill Whittle explains.
President Trump wants NASA to get Americans back to the moon in five years. To heighten the urgency, NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine — a Trump political appointee — fires William Gerstenmaier, a well-respected 42-year NASA veteran in charge of human space exploration. Will this sudden move light a fire under the bureaucracy, or did we just lose four decades of institutional knowledge jeopardizing our safe return to the lunar surface? Should NASA get our of the business of human space transportation?
Federal Circuit judge blocks President Trump from forcing drug makers to reveal prices in their advertising. But D.C. Circuit Judge Amit Mehta did so by saying a regulatory agency doesn’t have authority to require this: Congress must pass a law. How can conservatives grapple with two objects of their desire in conflict — the end of Obamacare, and a commitment to Constitutional separation of powers.
Newly-leaked dispatches from British Ambassador to the U.S., Sir Kim Darroch, to his colleagues in the UK Foreign Office portray the Trump White House as chaotic, riven by internal divisions, and ignorant of how to conduct foreign relations.
Although the country is in a long-term economic growth phase, Fed data shows that middle-income people are now less likely to own homes, or stocks. Meanwhile, “the one percent” are doing great. When it comes to elections, It’s the economy, stupid. But even thought more people have jobs now, can Democrats harness the wealth gap to win the White House in 2020?
Progressives in the media and politics complain that Kim Jong Un is playing President Trump, who settles for a self-aggrandizing photo opp, but is not projecting American strength (LOL). The Left also criticizes Trump for using the North Korea summit and G-20 meeting to cozy up to strongmen like Kim, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. […]
Newly-released video shows that former Empire actor Jussie Smollett wore a piece of rope — characterized as a ‘noose’ — until Chicago police arrived on the night he ‘fell victim’ to an alleged racist and homophobic attack. With questions still unresolved about Smollett’s apparent self-lynching, the men of Right Angle consider the implications of the video.
The New York Times quotes former hostages of the Taliban, Iran and Somali pirates, saying they received a toothbrush, soap and blankets from their terrorist captors to highlight allegations that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection detention facilities don’t provide these basic hygiene items to migrant detainees…including children. Will “At least the Taliban gave me a toothbrush” become the latest battle cry in the movement to improve treatment of illegal aliens?
With tensions rising in the middle east — in the wake of Iran shooting down a U.S. drone — Bill Whittle addresses the conspiracy theories about the potential of U.S. war with Iran. From false flag attacks, to neocon or Jewish saber-rattling, to war-for-profit by the military industrial complex, Bill addresses the accusations of Progressives, and even of Trump supporters.
It’s been 10 years to the day since peaceful protestor Neda Agha-Soltan fell to a sniper’s bullet from an Iranian regime rifle, and four decades since Iranian Islamists took 52 Americans hostage for 444 days, effectively declaring war on the United States. The Islamic Republic of Iran has foiled efforts of multiple U.S. presidents to […]
Quick hot takes on weird and wonderful news of the week — Stephen Green brings you Right Angle Lightning Round XXI, with Scott Ott and Bill Whittle.
President Trump tells George Stephanopoulos at ABC News that he still wants to hear oppo research “dirt” on his political rivals…even if it comes from Russia. Did he learn nothing from the Mueller Probe? Or is he laying a trap for Hillary Clinton?
Despite his opponents’ narrative that President Trump is anti-immigrant, he presides over huge growth in new citizens and approval of citizenship applications, including those of asylum seekers and refugees. Will Trump’s base of xenophobes and immigrant-haters abandon him because more foreigners are becoming citizens?
Just a month after announcing his presidential candidacy, former Vice President Joe Biden makes himself scarce on the campaign trail, while Sanders, Warren, Gillibrand, Buttigieg and others take to the hustings frequently before peppy crowds. As Gropin’ Joe runs away from running, will he inevitably squander his “inevitability”?
With an increasing number of states passing more environmental rules that trump President Trump’s, should conservatives support this new green federalism?
