BUSTED: ‘Anti-Poverty’ Democrat Activist Joe Sanberg Accused of Massive Fraud

Veteran blogger Lawrence Person has a long post examining the (alleged) $145 million scam (allegedly) perpetrated by Joe Sanberg, who at one point was considered a “rising star” in the Democratic Party and even talked about as a potential presidential candidate. The extra use of “allegedly” in my lead is necessitated by the fact that, […]

Why Has the ‘Valuable Resource’ Known as 538 Been Summarily Discarded?

While I await the arrival of Sidney Blumenthal’s book The Permanent Campaign — ordered from Amazon yesterday, because I need to reference it for a future American Spectator column — permit me to climb aboard the bandwagon of those celebrating this happy news: Disney axed Nate Silver’s once-influential FiveThirtyEight on Wednesday as part of sweeping […]

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 […]

Note the time and date on that, please — shortly after 5 p.m. ET on Friday, I shared my suspicion that the real reason why that White House meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy turned into a s***show was that Zelenskyy had been encouraged by Democrats to “pull that stunt,” and now my hunch has been validated: […]

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. For some reason, however, Volodymyr Zelenskyy decided he should start an argument in front of the cameras. It […]

Zelenskyy Gets Pimp-Slapped on Live TV by Trump in White House Meeting UPDATE: Lindsey Graham Blames Zelenskyy for ‘Complete, Utter Disaster’

“Pimp-slapped,” metaphorically speaking, of course. This event has astonished the world. When it happened, my office TV was tuned to Fox News, but I immediately switched over to MSNBC to see how they were reacting and . . . Well, it would be wrong to say it’s driven them crazy, as they’ve been non compos […]

Career Advice for Young Men

If you want to be great — not just good, mind you, but great, an all-time legend — my advice to any ambitious young man is this: Drop out of school at age 12 and go to work in a coal mine. Such was the decisive career move of a young fellow named Johannes, one […]
