Pence Trounces Harris in VP Debate; Commission Wants ‘Virtual’ Debate Next?

  The highlight in Wednesday’s debate, of course, was when a fly landed on Vice President Mike Pence’s head. I had turned the sound down low on my office TV, because I was working on an American Spectator column on a different topic, but I’d occasionally check the Twitter reactions and glance over at the […]

Biden and the ‘White Supremacy’ Smear

  There is exactly zero evidence that Kyle Rittenhouse is a “white supremacist,” but the absence of evidence did not prevent the Joe Biden campaign from smearing the teenager who defended himself against an Antifa mob during the Kenosha riots. Kyle Rittenhouse’s lawyer Lin Wood is not happy about this: After last night’s debate, the […]

Biden: Incompetent AND Incontinent?

  Guess which candidate needs an extra potty break? On Tuesday morning the Trump campaign requested a new rule for the first presidential debate: that a third party inspect both candidates for electronic devices or transmitters. President Trump had already consented to such an inspection, and the Biden campaign had reportedly agreed to this days […]

[…]

DNC Sold Out to Bloomberg ‘Because He’s Got a Billion F***ing Dollars!’

  Michael Moore at a Bernie Sanders rally Friday in Iowa: They are removing the rule to be on the debate stage, where it says you have to have so many people donating to you — otherwise instead of 27 people on the stage we’d have 270 people on the stage. You had to show […]

Elizabeth Warren’s Media Helpers Try to Revive Her Campaign at Bernie’s Expense

  Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate was so white that Antifa would punch it in the face, and moderators for CNN made it clear who they favored among the six white Democrats assembled on the Des Moines stage. We haven’t seen the memo from CNN chief Jeff Zucker, but it was obvious that the assignment was […]

Warren Fades; Democrats Worried UPDATE: Cory Booker Drops Out

  With the final pre-Iowa debate looming Tuesday night, the 2020 presidential campaign is looking shaky for Democrats.
