Post-Election Hangover Syndrome

Why is it that rural counties with comparatively few resources can manage to count all their votes on Election Night, while America’s major cities still haven’t finalized their totals by Thursday? Democrats should be asked that question, because it says an awful lot about what’s wrong with the Democratic Party, which governs all the places […]

Sheriff Bob Wins Re-Election

If you’re a fan of law enforcement, you know Sheriff Bob Gualtieri of Pinellas County, Florida.

Make Birthdays Great Again

Say hello to Jason, an Ohio boy who turned 12 years old yesterday. Because it was Election Day, and because Jason’s a big Trump supporter — it’s Ohio, which went for Trump by an 8-point margin — his family gave him a MAGA-themed birthday party.

Election Eve Prediction Time

  Don’t know who created that meme, I just saw it on Twitter. Election Day is tomorrow, and the time for making predictions is running out. Also, I’m running past deadline on a 2,500-word piece for the print edition of The American Spectator, in which I evaluate the prospects of a post-election civil war. (Spoiler: […]

After 16 Days of Censorship, Twitter Unlocks the New York Post’s Account

Twitter’s excuse was always dishonest: Twitter backed down Friday in its battle with The Post and unlocked its main account after a two-week stalemate over the Hunter Biden exposé. The move came after The Post refused Twitter’s demand that it delete six tweets that linked to stories that the company claimed — without any evidence […]

Good News: Democrats Are Worried

People keep telling me their predictions about the election, and I don’t want to hear them. I have done the Electoral College arithmetic and know that it is easily possible for President Trump to win, even if it’s going to be close and we might have to wait for late returns.
