Republicans Dodged a Bullet Today — and Van Jones Tells the Truth About Why!

Folks, if Donald Trump wins in November, today will be remembered as the day that the 2024 election shifted decisively in his favor. While vice-presidential picks rarely affect the outcome of an election (Thomas Eagleton being perhaps the most egregious exception to that rule), Kamala Harris could have made the Electoral College (EC) arithmetic very […]

Mystified Why Trump Keeps Criticizing Georgia Republicans? Here’s the Answer

Was the 2020 election stolen? That’s a yes or no question. Were I called to testify under oath, I’d have to answer yes. I’ve talked to friends in Georgia who tell stories of “ballot harvesting” there, and this is completely apart from the arguably unconstitutional rule change that allowed universal vote-by-mail in my native state. […]

Issues? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Issues!

Although I usually watch CNN (so you don’t have to), for the past week my office TV has been tuned to MSNBC, so that I can see what “news” is being pumped into the veins of the Democratic Party grassroots. It’s an endless hype-fest for Kamala Harris, interrupted by occasional “news” about some kind of […]

Living in Interesting Times

Early this morning, I found myself researching the British industrialist and politician Joseph Chamberlain, whose son Neville became the Prime Minister ruined by appeasement. It was apparently from Joseph Chamberlain that his other son, Austen (Nevill[e’s half-brother) derived the idea of “may you live in interesting times” as being, as is often said, an ancient […]

BOOM! Trump Campaign Hits Harris Immediately: ‘Kamala Was In On It’

While today’s announcement caught me by surprise, obviously Team Trump was prepared in advance for this contingency: The Democratic party baton has not officially passed from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris, but already, the vice president is facing Republican attacks befitting a presidential front-runner. Only moments after Biden announced he would not be seeking reelection […]

Trump #Winning Again

The man is stacking up W’s like nobody’s business. First, he wins the early debate that Team Biden demanded, then sits back and watches for two weeks while Democrats tear their party apart in an ultimately doomed effort to kick Sleepy Joe off the ticket. Then on Saturday he survives an assassination attempt, and by […]

‘Don’t Get Cocky’

What’s the first thing you notice when you look at today’s Real Clear Politics average of presidential election polls? What stands out to your eye? For me, it’s that NPR/PBS/Marist poll which, alone among all polls in the last two weeks, shows Joe Biden in the lead. Any average is only as good as the […]

The Zuckerberg Conspiracy: How a 501(c)3 Funded the 2020 Election ‘Cabal’

“The ‘cabal’ that bragged of foisting Joe Biden on us must answer for his failed presidency,” Glenn Reynolds wrote in December 2021. Nearly everyone now seems to agree about the “failed presidency” part of that headline, but is it too late to examine the nature of that “cabal”? William Doyle at The Federalist has a […]
