Tuesday Speech YUGE Win for Trump; Democrats Self-Destruct on Live TV

Probably I need to go ahead and write that column I’ve been kicking around in my head for the past couple of weeks, based on Sidney Blumenthal’s idea of The Permanent Campaign, but not right now. There will be time enough later for deep-dive analysis of how the Democrats have lost their way, but at […]

FMJRA 2.0: A Rare Winning Week

— compiled by Wombat-socho Confinement VI ended sooner than I thought it would, with Mike Williamson, most of his family, and a large number of C6 members going off to the range this afternoon, so I’m getting caught up on blogging. Since both of the Senators’ opponents last week were on autopilot, I managed to […]

Zelenskyy Self-Destructed, So Why Are Media Acting Like Trump Is to Blame?

The deal was all settled. On Thursday, the basic terms of a mineral-rights treaty had been agreed upon, and Friday’s Oval Office meeting was supposed to be a formality — a handshake, a meet-and-greet with the media.
