GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! Jury Convicts Corrupt Democrat Senator Menendez

Perhaps the phrase “corrupt Democrat” is redundant: The jury in the federal corruption trial of Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and two of his business associates, Fred Daibes and Wael Hana, found Menendez guilty on all charges after a grueling nine-week complex trial in Manhattan. . . . Jurors deliberated for three days. . . . […]

‘Don’t Get Cocky’

What’s the first thing you notice when you look at today’s Real Clear Politics average of presidential election polls? What stands out to your eye? For me, it’s that NPR/PBS/Marist poll which, alone among all polls in the last two weeks, shows Joe Biden in the lead. Any average is only as good as the […]

Jon Stewart: ‘Get on Board or Shut the F*** Up Is Not a Particularly Compelling Pro-Democracy Bumper Sticker’

Question: When did Jon Stewart become a “MAGA extremist”? Because, you’ll recall, prior to June 27, anyone who so much as suggested that perhaps Joe Biden was less than coherent was denounced as a MAGA extremist, a fascist, an enemy of “Our Democracy,” etc. Before the June 27 debate, any and all criticism of Biden […]

‘Team Joe’ Sends Me E-Mail

Many years ago, when I was covering Hillary Clinton’s doomed 2008 Democratic primary campaign, I clicked a link saying I would attend one of her appearances in Pennsylvania, and ever since then, my email address has been passed around to every other Democratic campaign, which is why this morning, I received this message: As a […]

‘Dangerously Out of Touch’: ABC Interview Doesn’t Quell Dump-Biden Talk

The vultures are now circling overhead above the decaying carcass of Joe Biden’s reelection campaign. The damage done by the June 27 debate cannot be repaired or wished away. The number of House Democrats calling for Biden to step aside as the party’s nominee has now increased to five, with Minnesota Rep. Rep. Angie Craig […]

When You’ve Lost Nate Silver …

What? A Democrat telling “obvious lies that nobody but the dumbest partisans will buy”? You mean it’s a day ending in “-y”? My friend Stephen Green is reveling in schadenfreude over Silver’s latest election forecast, which is developing a trendline in exactly one direction — from bad to worse for “Sundown Joe,” showing “Biden with […]

Democrats Singing ‘Suspicious Minds’

Democrats are caught in a trap. They can’t walk out. As much as they may want to dump Joe Biden, there are a few problems — perhaps insurmountable problems — with any scenario to replace him: “We are monitoring the calls from across the country for President Biden to step aside, either now or before […]

MELTDOWN: Democrats Panic After Biden Has the ‘Single Worst Debate Performance in American History’

WOW! Just . . . WOW! My pre-debate prediction was that CNN had this “debate” pre-arranged to be a Biden victory, but if so, it certainly didn’t work as planned. Not only is CNN itself now admitting that Biden crashed like the Hindenburg at Lakehurst, but there is a universal consensus among Democrats and all […]
