The Thing That Never Happens Has Somehow Happened Once Again

All the experts have assured us that election fraud is impossible. No election is ever “rigged” or “stolen” in America, and anyone who says otherwise is emphatically denounced as a crypto-fascist threat to Democracy. Meanwhile, in south Georgia . . . The mayor of a small southwest Georgia city and two former election officials are […]

Nothing Is ‘Secret’ Anymore

The Glenn Greenwald scandal is an important reminder about the reality of life in the Information Age. This was the subject of a lecture I gave my then-14-year-old son Jefferson in 2013. The day the second Anthony Weiner scandal broke — while the disgraced ex-congressman was a candidate for mayor of New York City — […]

May 27: A Date That Will Live in Hilarity

Big hat-tip to Ace of Spades for reminding us that it was on this date — May 27, 2011 — that Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) used his official Twitter account to send a photo of his . . . pelvic bulge, and then claimed that his account had been hacked. Wikipedia: On May 27, 2011, […]

‘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 […]

A Made-for-TV Travesty: Can You Guess Who Takes Stormy Daniels Seriously?

One must be a connoisseur of media bias — or perhaps a glutton for punishment — to watch CNN, which I do (so you don’t have to). Do executives at the third-place cable news networks really think America craves wall-to-wall coverage of the sordid Stormy Daniels “hush money” trial inflicted upon Donald Trump by Soros-sponsored […]

Pouncing? Yes, But Also Seizing: GOP Gets Credit for Resignation of Harvard University’s Plagiarist President

Speaking on behalf of the “far right,” I must express our collective gratitude to the media for recognizing our work. Strange as it might seem, some journalists apparently believe it’s a bad thing to force the president of Harvard University to resign amid a plagiarism scandal, which followed close on the heels of Claudine Gay’s […]

Can We At Least Agree That Nobody — and Certainly No Republican — Cares About Hunter Biden’s ‘Struggle’?

Today I was watching CNN (so you don’t have to) while the World’s Most Famous Crackhead gave his little speech on Capitol Hill: Hunter stated: “They have ridiculed my struggle with addiction. They’ve belittled my recovery. And they’ve tried to dehumanize me!” “They have tried to dehumanize me to embarrass and damage my father, who […]

The ‘HotWifeExperience’ Democrat Won’t Go Away (and She Thinks You’re Stupid)

In November, we had a good laugh when Susanna Gibson lost her race for the Virginia House of Delegates after it was revealed that she had engaged in livestream sex performances as “HotWifeExperience.” She said Repubs were being creepy by wanting to monitor what teachers do in the classroom. She also said “Oh God I […]
