Targeted for Destruction

  When I was a road warrior on the campaign trail years ago, I got into the habit of using the blog as a sort of notebook — three or four posts a day, with photos, quotes, etc. — which I would then cannibalize in the evening for my American Spectator column. Sometimes I still […]

Democrats vs. Suburbia: Biden Will Make ‘Magic Dirt Theory’ Federal Policy

  When President Trump first raised the accusation last month that Joe Biden is planning to destroy the “Suburban Dream Lifestyle,” I didn’t know what the hell he was talking about, and half believed the media claim that Trump was just “stoking fear.” And then I investigated, and discovered that Democrats plan to abolish single-family […]

Antifa Trash Fire Roundup

  Bad causes attract bad people, and the so-called “anti-fascist” mobs in cities like Portland are not composed of our Best and Brightest. There is abundant evidence that their average IQ is below room temperature. Gateway Pundit calls attention to a typical example of Portland’s Antifa mob, Edward Thomas Schinzing, 32, who is now facing […]

Democrats Debut New 2020 Campaign Slogan: ‘Reclaiming My Time!’

  Yesterday, while I was working on an American Spectator column, my office TV was tuned to the House Judiciary Committee hearing where Attorney General William Barr was testifying and the performance by the committee’s Democrats of a loathsome kabuki theatre. Every Democrat unloaded a sort of sermon accusing Barr of various malfeasances — treason, […]

Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Has All the Wrong Answers on NYC Crime

  Gosh, it’s just so mysterious: Following the George Floyd protests which devolved into deadly riots that destroyed black lives, black livelihoods, and black monuments, violent crime sparked in New York City last month. The Big Apple experienced a 130 percent increase in the number of shootings across the city between June 1 and June 30. Murders, burglaries, and auto thefts […]

White Supremacists in Kentucky Defeat Black Candidate’s Senate Campaign

  Oh, sure, Democrats say “Black Lives Matter,” but they don’t really mean it, not if a black man’s campaign for the Senate might impede the political ambitions of one of their handpicked white favorites: In a tighter race than expected, former Marine pilot Amy McGrath has been declared the winner of the Kentucky primary […]

‘We Can See Through That’

Glenn Reynolds calls attention to a feature article about black Democrats in Michigan that is an eye-opening glimpse into 2020: “We look at Joe Biden and see more of the same. It’s about the era he came up. It’s about his identity—he’s a rich, old white man. What are his credentials to us, other than […]

Mayor Ted Discovers Law and Order

  You know how obnoxious the anarchist scum in Portland must be when they managed to turn Mayor Ted Wheeler into Dirty Harry: Portland protesters on Wednesday night followed in Seattle’s footsteps and attempted to build an autonomous zone in the city. That effort, however, was broken up by police. Unlike Seattle, where protesters cordoned […]
