CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 6, 2025 DO YOU KNOW OF A BUSINESS THAT DOESN’T CARE WHAT A LARGE NUMBER OF ITS CUSTOMERS THINK, BUT OFFERS ONLY WHAT THE BUSINESS CHOOSES TO GIVE THEM? I CAN THINK OF ONLY ONE: “THE MEDIA.” WEVE SEEN THE DROP IN LATE-NIGHT TALK SHOW VIEWERS, LARGELY BECAUSE OF…
CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 3, 2025 THE UNDERLYING REASON FOR THE SO-CALLED GOVERNMENT “SHUTDOWN” IS BECAUSE GOVERNMENT IS DOING WHAT IT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO DO AND SO HAS BECOME DYSFUNCTIONAL.

ANOTHER PHONEY AND POLITICALLY-BASED GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN WILL OCCUR AT MIDNIGHT TOMORROW NIGHT UNLESS CONGRESS BOWS TO DEMOCRATS’ DESIRE TO INCREASE SPENDING ON MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND OBAMACARE. DEMOCRATS AND THE MEDIA – WHICH ARE THE SAME THING – WILL…
CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER SHOOTING. IN DALLAS WEDNESDAY, A MAN TARGETED WHAT HE THOUGHT WERE IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOM ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS. ONE PERSON WAS KILLED AND TWO OTHERS WOUNDED. THEY WERE NOT ICE OFFICERS, BUT DETAINEES, OR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. WE ARE HEARING OF INCREASING ATTACKS AGAINST ICE OFFICERS…
CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 PRESIDENT TRUMP’S SPEECH TO THE UNITED NATIONS BEGAN WITH PRAISE TO HIMSELF. HE USED THE PERSONAL PRONOUNS – I, ME, AND MY AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES.
