Democrats ‘Increasingly Worried About a Number of Issues Plaguing’ Kamala

Remember what I told you in mid-September? “Kamala Is Underperforming” was the headline, at a time when the newly-minted Democratic presidential nominee was still riding her post-convention “bounce.” A careful comparison of Harris’s poll numbers to Joe Biden’s numbers in 2020 and Hillary Clinton’s numbers in 2016 showed that she was weaker against Trump than […]

The Only Trick in Their Bag

Look, I get it: Biden put Democrats in a bad spot. He could have — and should have — announced in early 2023 that he would not seek a second term, thereby making it possible for Democrats to have a primary to choose their 2024 presidential candidate. Unfortunately for Democrats, while senile dementia diminishes many […]

‘I Wouldn’t Call Him Crazy’

The headline quote comes via the London Telegraph: Chris Lutz, a humanitarian aid worker in Kyiv, told the BBC that Routh was known locally as a “recruitment cheerleader” but had no rights or powers to recruit for Ukraine’s international legion. “I wouldn’t call him crazy. He was just hyper-focused. He was trying his best to […]

Trump: I Won, No More Debates

This is a bold move, and can only be explained by Duane Patterson’s question: “If Kamala Won the Debate, Why Is Trump Gaining Ground?” Counter-intuitive as it may seem — because Trump had a lousy debate performance — it appears that many undecided voters moved in favor of Trump as a result. Or, to put […]

Yes, Kamala ‘Won’ That Debate (and Why It Probably Won’t Matter in November)

If any of your Democrat friends try to provoke you into an argument about who won Tuesday night’s debate, avoid the provocation by agreeing that Kamala “won,” and end the conversation immediately. “Never smarten up a chump” — don’t let them in on the secret that Harris’s debate “victory” is unlikely to make any difference. […]

Debate Night: America in the Balance

The first presidential debate this year was such a huge Trump victory that Joe Biden dropped his re-election bid a few weeks later, resulting in Kamala Harris being anointed as the Democrat nominee. What are the chances that Kamala Harris will do better than Joe did against Trump? We’ll see. Feel free to use the […]

RFK Jr. Endorses Trump

This happened while I was on the road — my wife and I are carrying our youngest daughter back to college this weekend — and the two main points to be emphasized are these: First, this changes the conversation. The Sunday shows, which would have been all about Kamala’s “joyful” convention, will now be focused […]

Trump Derangement Syndrome and the Media’s ‘Misinformation’ Obsession

Have you forgotten? In case you don’t remember how traumatized liberals were by Donald Trump winning the 2016 election, you can click here for an ABC News video of Hillary Clinton’s supporters, gathered for a planned victory celebration at the Javits Center in New York, crying on the evening of November 8, 2016. It was […]
