Mueller Hearing a Democrat Debacle

  Whoever was responsible for the decision to hold today’s House Judiciary Committee hearing — and I suppose that must be the committee chairman, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) — is an idiot. If the goal of Democrats in having former Special Counsel Robert Mueller testify was to gin up support for impeaching President Trump, they […]

‘Ourselves and Our Posterity’

Rule 5 Sunday: Kathy Zhu

On Friday, the pageant’s notional director stripped Miss Michigan, College Republican activist Kathy Zhu (@PoliticalKathy) of her title for allegedly “racist” tweets and her refusal to try on a hijab, and the result has been that a lot […]

The British had captured Savannah two months earlier, and in January moved upriver to take Augusta. The British began recruiting and arming local Tories. By February, Lt. Col. John Boyd led a force of about […]
