A Republican presidential challenger campaigning in the South Bronx against an inflation-ridden and unpopular Democratic incumbent. I’ve
seen this show before. It was August 5, 1980, when Ronald Reagan, the GOP nominee against President Jimmy Carter, traveled to the troubled borough of New York City to deliver his message of “Make America Great Again.” It was, for sure, a raucous scene, plenty of Bronx cheering. Relying on a microphone to make himself heard, Reagan shouted, “I can’t do a damned thing for you if I don’t get elected!”

Republicans Grilled on Ronald Reagan Leveraging Military Aid to Israel

Following President Joe Biden stating that he would withhold certain weapons from Israel amid the Israel-Hamas war, Republicans were confronted on Sunday over former President Ronald Reagan's similar stance to leverage military aid to Israel. On October 7, 2023, Hamas, a Palestinian militant group, launched an attack against Israel, killing some 1,200
people and taking about 250 hostage. In the months that followed, Israel's offensive has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians in Gaza, the Associated Press reported, citing local health officials. On Wednesday, Biden warned he would stop supplying Israel with offensive weapons like bombs and artillery shells if Israeli...

Take a tip from Ronald Reagan on handling campus protests

New York Post ^
| April 27, 2024 | Cal Thomas
A major part of his [1966 election] platform was to “clean up the mess at Berkeley” and other college campuses throughout the state that were experiencing protests and strikes over issues that included the military draft, civil rights and “women’s issues.” In
a campaign speech, Reagan said many leftist campus movements had transcended legitimate protest, with the actions of “beatniks, radicals and filthy speech advocates” having more to do “with rioting, with anarchy” than “academic freedom.” He faulted university administrators and faculty, who “press their particular value judgments” on students, for “a leadership gap and a morality and decency gap”...

Ronald Reagan’s failed assassin-turned-folk singer calls NYC a ‘cesspool of crime’ after canceling Manhattan gig

This is a different kind of cancel culture. Even
President Ronald Reagan’s failed assassin-turned-folk singer is too afraid to step foot in the Big Apple — calling it a “cesspool of crime” after canceling an upcoming gig. “I’m afraid of New York City and I just don’t want to go there right now,” John Hinckley Jr. — who tried to kill Reagan in 1981 — told The Post days after pulling the plug on a June show scheduled on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Hinckley announced the performance on X last week but pulled out because “he said New York is...

Those of us of a certain age will remember a time, some 40 years ago now, when President Ronald Reagan advocated the Strategic Defense Initiative, Project High Frontier, and various other related programs, all built around the basic concept that we should have defenses against incoming missile attacks. Throughout
all of human history, military preparedness has involved both offensive and defensive elements. An army might have swords and longbows for offense, while being equipped with shields for defense. Cannons and cannonballs made up the offense, fortresses and moats provided a defense. Thus it has been for thousands of years, but...

In 1975, Ronald Reagan was traveling around the U.S.A., giving speeches about our worthy American Heritage.

John Hinckley Jr., who once tried to kill Ronald Reagan, claims he is a victim of ‘cancel culture’ after concert nixed: ‘Keeps happening’

Would-be assassin-turned-folk singer John Hinckley Jr., who attempted to kill President Ronald Reagan in 1981, insisted he was a victim of “cancel culture” after his latest concert was called off. The
68-year-old was scheduled to perform at the Hotel Huxley in Naugatuck, Connecticut, on March 30 — 43 years to the day after he attacked Reagan — but the gig was postponed indefinitely, he told The Post. “I think that’s fair to say: I’m a victim of cancel culture,” Hinckley Jr. opined. “It keeps happening over and over again.” A message on the venue’s Instagram posted last week read, “You...

Biden is taking a page from Ronald Reagan's 1984 playbook in a push to quell voter concerns over his age

After President Joe Biden's electoral romp on Super Tuesday and his subsequent State of the Union address, his campaign quickly eased into its general election posture, with the commander in chief visiting key battleground states, including Georgia and Michigan. But it was an ad entitled "For You" released earlier this month that
took on one of the 81-year-old Biden's biggest challenges ahead of the election: addressing voter concerns over his age. As he spoke in front of a camera, Biden had a distinctly sunny disposition. He quickly gets to the heart of the matter.

NAUGATUCK, Conn. (WTNH) — John Hinckley, who shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981, is headed to Naugatuck, Connecticut, to perform a concert. The
controversial musician is set to perform at Hotel Huxley later this month. Hinckley said he’s hoping people will give him a second chance and listen to his folk music. “I want people to know that I’m coming in peace, I stand for peace now,” he said. “I know I’m known for an act of violence, but I’m a completely different person than in 1981.”

Former Polish President Lech Wałęsa hailed his friendship with Ronald Reagan during their respective administrations, claiming that Poland owes Reagan "our freedom." "You
may consider this statement extremely lofty, yet it does not sound lofty to those who regained liberty after half a century," Wałęsa, 80, told Fox News Digital on the anniversary of Reagan’s birth. "Some politicians defend values not because they find it profitable but because those politicians are convinced that there are certain values that are worth living for, and that there are values that are worth giving life for," Wałęsa said. "Only such politicians are really...

Every year on February 6th, America gets to celebrate anew the birth of its 40th President, Ronald Reagan, who was born on February 6, 1911. We
remember and revere him not just because of his service to our nation, but for how he made us feel when he was President. We were patriotic, proud, and powerful under the Reagan presidency – all traits we seem to currently be lacking – and longing for. Americans love to remember Reagan because they love to recall the feeling they had when he was president - bold and unapologetic on the world stage, he...

Andrew L. Stigler: Would Ronald Reagan abandon Ukraine to Russia?

As the fighting in Ukraine continues, some representatives in Congress, primarily Republicans, oppose additional financial and military support for Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s ongoing invasion. U.S.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has said he has reservations about continued support for Ukraine because he believes that there is inadequate oversight on how the aid is spent and sees no strategy to win. Johnson also argued that America’s border problems should take priority, a preference shared by many on the right. Congress will take up the issue again this year, but the future of American aid to Ukraine is in serious doubt. Four...

Ronald Reagan’s daughter, Patti Davis, says her mother, Nancy Reagan, convinced the former president to get married by getting pregnant with her in 1952, according to her upcoming book Dear Mom and Dad: A Letter About Family, Memory, and the America We Once Knew. Ronald Regan had been married to actress Jane
Wyman before divorcing her, and according to Davis, had “made a pact” with Wyman that he wouldn’t remarry before she did. Davis wrote that her father was happy playing the field and “was not exactly anxious to get married again.” Davis was born six months after the couple...

US Economist Dr. Arthur B. Laffer has suggested that the UK should implement tax measures first introduced by Former US President Ronald Reagan. Dr. Arthur B. Laffer stated that the UK could benefit from both the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Speaking
to GB News, the former member of Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board said that the move by the UK government would make Britain's economy "great again". The Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 was a law which enabled the largest tax cut in American history.

Ronald Reagan’s Policies Continue to Exacerbate the Racial Wealth Gap
|

Time ^
| 12/05/2023 | CALVIN SCHERMERHORN
The Federal Reserve’s latest Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) exposed a massive racial wealth gap in the U.S. In 2022, the typical African American family has 16 cents on the dollar compared to the typical white family—about $44,900 compared to $285,000. (The
typical Hispanic family has 22 cents on the dollar compared to a median white family.) This perpetuates a pattern that dates to 1983, when Black and white workers’ wealth began to diverge across income brackets. In the early 1980s, experts saw this gap as an anomaly and predicted that it would narrow as younger Black Americans with more...
