Dow Jones Gains Nearly 3,000 Points After Trump Deports Gay Makeup Artist

Look, I’m not one of these All-Purpose Expert types who hangs around on social media all day pretending to know everything about whatever’s the big Democratic Party talking point at the current moment. Today’s economic “expert” was, just a few weeks ago, an “expert” on national security, and last October was an “expert” on election […]

‘Signal-Gate’: CIA Sabotage? Or Another ‘Anonymous’ in the Trump White House?

Tuesday evening, I watched Laura Ingraham interview National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, who promised to “get to the bottom” of how a supposedly secure text-message conversation between top officials of the Trump administration “accidentally” included notorious anti-Trump Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic. Democrats and their media allies are trying to turn “Signal-gate” into a […]

Tuesday Speech YUGE Win for Trump; Democrats Self-Destruct on Live TV

Probably I need to go ahead and write that column I’ve been kicking around in my head for the past couple of weeks, based on Sidney Blumenthal’s idea of The Permanent Campaign, but not right now. There will be time enough later for deep-dive analysis of how the Democrats have lost their way, but at […]

Ain’t I Done Told Y’all? Democrats Pushed Zelenskyy to Sabotage White House Deal

Note the time and date on that, please — shortly after 5 p.m. ET on Friday, I shared my suspicion that the real reason why that White House meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy turned into a s***show was that Zelenskyy had been encouraged by Democrats to “pull that stunt,” and now my hunch has been validated: […]

Zelenskyy Self-Destructed, So Why Are Media Acting Like Trump Is to Blame?

The deal was all settled. On Thursday, the basic terms of a mineral-rights treaty had been agreed upon, and Friday’s Oval Office meeting was supposed to be a formality — a handshake, a meet-and-greet with the media. For some reason, however, Volodymyr Zelenskyy decided he should start an argument in front of the cameras. It […]

Zelenskyy Gets Pimp-Slapped on Live TV by Trump in White House Meeting UPDATE: Lindsey Graham Blames Zelenskyy for ‘Complete, Utter Disaster’

“Pimp-slapped,” metaphorically speaking, of course. This event has astonished the world. When it happened, my office TV was tuned to Fox News, but I immediately switched over to MSNBC to see how they were reacting and . . . Well, it would be wrong to say it’s driven them crazy, as they’ve been non compos […]

Obama Judge Orders DOGE to Stop Telling Us Where Our Money Went

Wow, what a week it’s been, huh? Elon Musk’s young wizards at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have applied their superpowers — weaponized autism — to the simple question: Exactly who has the federal government been giving our tax dollars to? The resulting revelations, especially at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), […]

END OF AN ERROR: Joe Biden Leaves in Disgrace as Trump Returns Triumphant

Mark Penn is a Democrat — he was pollster for both Clintons — so his denunciation of the last-minute pardons of Biden’s “political accomplices” carries more weight that anything a Republican might say on the subject. Biden’s tenure in the White House was corrupt from start to finish, but why bring up those 3 a.m. […]
