The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Robert Francis ‘Beto’ O’Rourke

  Shane Ryan is the kind of Democrat who feels that Barack Obama was insufficiently progressive, and he won’t get fooled again: What, exactly, is Beto O’Rourke’s appeal? It’s not policy-oriented, and it’s not identity-based. He’s independently rich, and despite his grab at exoticism by transforming “Robert” into “Beto,” he’s white. As the Vanity Fair […]

One Hundred Trillion Dollars: Zimbabwe, Hyper-Inflation and the ‘Green New Deal’

  You might think $100,000,000,000,000 is a lot of money, but in Zimbabwe’s currency, it was equivalent to 40 cents on the U.S. dollar in 2015. What happened to Zimbabwe is difficult to describe without sounding racist. On the other hand, basically the same thing has happened in Venezuela, so the idiocy that causes hyperinflation […]

Sanders Aide Who Used ‘Dual Allegiance’ Smear Against Jews Is an Illegal Alien

  Interesting developments: A spokeswoman for Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign apologized Tuesday after questioning whether the “American-Jewish community has a dual allegiance to the state of Israel” — a comment condemned by Jewish leaders across the political spectrum as having anti-Semitic overtones. “In a conversation on Facebook, I used some language that I see now […]

Gillibrand Aide Abbas Malik Fired in Senate Sexual Harassment Scandal

Democrat Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand aide Abbas Malik (right, in Army uniform). Initial reports about the sex scandal in Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s office did not name the perpetrator, but we now know that it was Abbas Malik, an Army veteran hired as Gillibrand’s military adviser and personal driver. A female staffer alleged that Malik — who […]

Democrats Have Standards

  They have two standards — one for them, and one for everybody else: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), one of the most outspoken advocates of the #MeToo movement who has made fighting sexual misconduct a centerpiece of her presidential campaign, spent last summer pressing legislators to update Congress’ “broken” system of handling sexual harassment. At […]

Iowa Poll Shows More Than Half of Democrat Voters Support Old White Guys

  Former Vice President Joe Biden leads the latest Iowa poll with 27%, followed by socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders with 25% — between them accounting for more than half the support among likely Democrat caucus voters in the 2020 presidential field. Biden is 76, Sanders is 77, and so the Iowa results may damage the […]

Left-Wing Democrats: ‘If Hating Israel Is Wrong, We Don’t Want to Be Right’

  That tweet by Colorado leftist Saira Rao perfectly encapsulates the problems of the new Democrat majority in the House. Nancy Pelosi wanted to pass a resolution — obviously aimed at Ilhan Omar — condemning anti-Semitism. But this has failed, because the Left has welcomed Jew-haters into their ranks, and anti-Semitism is particularly prevalent among […]

Remember, Insanity Is Hereditary

  And the acorn seldom falls far from the oak: During debate on a gun bill Thursday, U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Dearborn, emotionally recounted hiding from her mentally unstable father as a child, bringing lawmakers to their feet as she declared, “He never should have had a gun.” “I have spent more time thinking about […]
