JOSH HAMMER: Dems Have Officially Crossed The Rubicon After Deploying Legal Assault Against Trump

The Daily CallerMay 14, 20240

It is a presidential election year and a leading candidate for president of the United States, who also happens to be a former president of the United States, is currently a criminal defendant chained to a dingy courtroom four days of the week–time that he should be spending interacting with voters out on the campaign trail. That’s terrible. But it’s only the beginning. The daughter of the presiding judge is a professional political operative for the presidential candidate’s opposition party, and the candidate himself is subject to an over-inclusive and unconstitutional gag order. The George Soros-funded district attorney, who campaigned

JOSH HAMMER: Biden Is Committing Political Suicide By Appeasing Hamas

The Daily CallerMay 6, 20240

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s ill-fated 2024 presidential campaign was much criticized for being “too online.” But Democrats are no less prone to fall into that same trap. Now-Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2020 presidential campaign, which generated considerable initial buzz before it abruptly sputtered, was infamous for listening too much to left-wing TV hosts and social media blue — actual Democratic primary voters. Indeed, that a loud political — within a party or across the broader electorate–can drown out a less vocal political majority is now a fixture of our politics, helpfully explained by public choice theory. President Joe Biden, now

JOSH HAMMER: Restore Order And Crush The Campus Jihadist Thugs

The Daily CallerApril 28, 20240

In his 1790 letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, President George Washington reached a stirring conclusion: “May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.” Washington is rolling in his grave right now at Mount Vernon. Jews are so “afraid” at Columbia University that an Orthodox campus rabbi recently urged students to “return home as soon as possible.”

JOSH HAMMER: Biden’s Iran Problem

The Daily CallerApril 22, 20240

The terrorist Iranian regime’s unprecedented recent attack on Israel, which included 185 drones, 36 cruise missiles and 110 surface-to-surface missiles, is an unambiguous casus belli — an act of war — under international law. Of course, Iranian proxies spread across the Middle East, such as Lebanon-based Hezbollah, Gaza-based Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Yemen-based Houthis, have committed countless previous acts of war against Israel. But last weekend was something different entirely: For the very first time since fanatical Islamists overthrew Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and took power in 1979, Iran launched such attacks directly from its own soil. The regime’s

Widow of Russia’s Alexei Navalny hires bodyguard after hammer attack on activist

ReutersApril 17, 20240

LONDON (Reuters) – Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny, said in an interview with Time magazine published on Wednesday that she had hired a bodyguard following a hammer attack on a senior ally of her late husband. A hammer-wielding assailant attacked Leonid Volkov, a Navalny aide, outside his home in Vilnius, Lithuania, in March, breaking his arm and pounding his leg with a series of blows. Lithuania’s counter-intelligence service accused Russia’s intelligence services of being behind the attack. The Kremlin declined to comment but said people should respect and listen to President Vladimir Putin rather than

JOSH HAMMER: John Eastman And The Left’s War On The Legal Profession

The Daily CallerApril 6, 20240

John Eastman is a lawyer, legal scholar and a friend. A former clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, candidate for California attorney general, and dean of Chapman University School of Law, I got to know John during my weeklong 2018 legal fellowship with the Claremont Institute, which he oversaw. We have stayed in touch and done at least one event together for Claremont since that time. Unfortunately, since the 2020 presidential election, John has been put through the wringer more than just about anyone in American public life. He was forced to retire from the law school where he

JOSH HAMMER: Donald Trump Has A Clear Path To Victory. Will He Take It? Josh Hammer on March 17, 2024 Following this week’s primaries, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have both attained enough delegates to be their respective parties’ presidential nominees this fall. Barring some sort of unforeseen event — a debilitating hospitalization, an ultra-expedited criminal prosecution, or a convention floor revolt — we will thus get a rematch of the 2020 presidential election. For the many Americans who are neither Trump enthusiasts nor card-carrying Democratic partisans, this choice at the ballot box may be less than

JOSH HAMMER: Trump’s Squishy SCOTUS Picks Could Come Back To Haunt Him Josh Hammer on March 2, 2024 One of the more underappreciated recent trends in American law and politics, obscured by a few high-profile conservative victories at the Supreme Court and thus noticed by few other than dyed-in-the-wool legal conservatives, is that former President Donald Trump’s three picks for the high court are soft and undependable. The truth is that none of the Trump-era triumvirate of Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett can hold a candle to their two reliably conservative senior colleagues Clarence Thomas and

The Daily CallerJanuary 28, 20240

JOSH HAMMER: Don’t Mess With Texas Josh Hammer on January 27, 2024 The adjective “Orwellian” can be overused in our political discourse. But how else to describe a situation in which the federal government abdicates its responsibility to secure the nation’s wide-open border and then, when a state steps up to help stanch the bleeding, is told by that same federal government to stop — and, for good measure, that its efforts to help secure the border via a new razor wire barrier will be undone? There really is only one apt word: “Orwellian.” On Monday, the Supreme Court voted

Federal jury convicts man in hammer attack on Pelosi’s husband

ReutersNovember 17, 20230

(This Nov. 16 story has been corrected to show the statement was issued by Nancy Pelosi’s spokesperson, not Pelosi herself, in paragraph 6) By Daniel Trotta (Reuters) – A federal jury on Thursday convicted a right-wing conspiracy theorist of a hammer attack on the husband of former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, prosecutors said. David Wayne DePape, 43, broke into the Pelosis’ San Francisco home and struck Paul Pelosi over the head with a hammer in the early morning hours of Oct. 28, 2022, while Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, was still speaker and away in Washington.

JOSH HAMMER: There Are Monsters In Our Midst Josh Hammer on October 28, 2023 The weeks since the Oct. 7 Hamas pogrom in Israel, in which the most Jews were slaughtered in a single day than at any time since World War II, have seen an astonishing rise in global Jew-hatred. One might have thought that the mass carnage and unspeakable barbarism of the Hamas Holocaust would instead galvanize a concerted pushback against Islamic jihadism, but it is the ancient scourge of antisemitism — and not so-called Islamophobia — that is once again the world’s most politically correct and fashionable

JOSH HAMMER: Is It Too Much To Ask For Our Leaders To Put On Some Pants? Josh Hammer on September 24, 2023 The United States Senate, once known as the “world’s greatest deliberative body,” will now permit its members to grace its chamber floor wearing whatever clothes — no matter how casual or unprofessional — they happen to fancy on any given day.
