Original Article

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order making English the official language of the United States. Despite English being the predominant language, the U.S. has never had a national language at the federal level... The summary of the order said the goal of making English the national language is to promote unity, establish efficiency in the government and provide a pathway to civic engagement.

Long overdue!

It is so crazy how all these formerly common sense things now have to be made into laws. That is how deranged and far off course the corrupt left wing has taken us.

This is extremely overdue. During WWI, the military was shocked at how many recruits did not speak English. Folks from PA were speaking German variations, those from the Plain states were speaking various Scandinavian languages, recruits from various cities only spoke Italian, etc. These weren't first-generation Americans, either. The local schools were teaching in the language of where the immigrants came from and never switched to English over the generations. That prompted the requirement that all public schools teach in English.

The US Constitution was written in the English language. That alone should indicate that the people who created the USA fully considered that the English language was to be the official language of the United States. To back that up, along with the Trump just signed Executive Order, the US Congress now should pass Federal legislation naming the English language as the official language of the USA.

- What language was the U.S. Constitution written in? - What's the only language spoken in the House or Senate of Congress? - What language is spoken in the U.S. Supreme Court and every lower Court to Municipal level? By virtue of the examples given, English is the official language of the United States. The President will EO the matter, now you lazy Congress, CODIFY IT!

As an amateur historian -- and probably not a good one -- I go nuts when I see amateurish fictions tendered as core premises. This is no more frequently found than in Hollywood; but do not kid yourself, it is not confined to Hollywood...Of course, there are other mistakes, but the grandest mistake of all is Islam. It is now coming out into the popular realm that the historicity of Mohammed may be a total fabrication. Not merely a distortion, but a total fabrication. Robert Spencer has written a polemic questioning the whole historicity of Islam’s founder. And not just Robert Spencer, but Dr. Jay Smith.

REP. JAMIE RASKIN: Well, the Department of Justice traditionally has enjoyed institutional independence from the office of the president. The president has not ordered investigations into specific individuals or terminated investigations into others. That principle was, of course, tested during Donald Trump’s first presidential administration. He seemed to want to treat the Department of Justice as a mere adjunct of his own presidency, under the unitary executive theory.

George Orwell, that idealistic socialist disillusioned by the Soviet “Workers’ Paradise” (what the great Ronald Reagan called the Evil Empire), took special note of how communists perverted language. Famous, in 1984, the motto was “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.” In our time, as well, our speech is polluted by words that do not speak the truth but cover it up. Here are some of them.

Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel threatens to turn the FBI into an instrument of personal presidential power.For more than four decades before Donald Trump assumed the presidency, the FBI director was a position above politics. A new president might choose a political ally as attorney general, but the FBI director was different. ...And so it continued into the 21st century. Except in a single case of serious scandal, Senate-confirmed FBI directors stayed in their post until they quit or until their 10-year term expired. Never, never, never was a Senate-confirmed FBI director fired so that the president could replace him with a loyalist.

The proverbial shoe is now on the other foot. While Kamala has conceded defeat to President Trump and Democrat politicians have remained relatively silent in these calls, constituents have had a different sentiment and have taken to social media to insist something is amiss.

New polling numbers out of the states of Ohio and Wisconsin are very good news for Mitch McConnell and very bad news for Chuck Schumer. Panic seems to be setting in for Democrats as they see their chances of retaining control of the Senate slip from their grasp. In Ohio, Democrat incumbent Sherrod Brown is consistently polling behind his Republican rival, Bernie Moreno. RedState reported last week on polling from RMG Research that showed Moreno ahead of Brown by a 48 percent to 46 percent margin. New polling out from ActiVote confirms Moreno's lead, with the new data having Moreno sitting at 51.1 percent while Brown is at 48.9 percent.

There are lies, damned lies, and government statistics — and maybe none is more damnable than the official unemployment rate which is half the actual rate, according to Rasmussen. Worse, the number of Americans who are neither retired nor employed is more than four times higher than July's official rate of 4.3%. I've been writing for months now in quick-hit Instapundit items that this country has been in a jobs recession since the COVID lockdowns and, thanks to Bidenomics, never recovered from.

Yet, Zelenskyy employed a risky gambit, attempting to leverage media influence to strengthen his negotiating position with the nation that has already provided his country with $183 billion in aid.
