How We Got Here: ‘Susan Collins, One of the Most Evil People in Public Life’

When I wrote about Trump Derangement Syndrome over the weekend, it was while following the discourse over the latest scandalous Graham Platner revelations. These are certainly not the first such revelations, nor will they be the last, as GOP operatives reportedly have a vast pile of opposition research on Mr. Nazi Tattoo they’re waiting to […]

What $100,000,000 Buys

Do I want to pick a fight with Erick Erickson? No, I do not. Erick has done yeoman’s work for the conservative cause for more than 20 years, and 99 days out of 100, I have no problem with him. But his reaction to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s victory in Tuesday’s GOP primary runoff […]

Our Sudden Alaska Road Trip

PALMER, Alaska The walls at my son’s house here are adorned with hunting trophies — deer, caribou, turkey, duck, etc. His military exploits are just his day job. What he really cares about is hunting and fishing, and he’s obviously quite successful at that. Our flight left at 6 a.m. Friday, which meant we had […]

Why Would Two Jew-Hating Teenage Incels Shoot Up a Mosque in San Diego?

Well, what else do we expect of murderous weirdos, huh? If what you’re looking for is logic and rationality, homicidal adolescents probably aren’t the first place you’d look. Monday’s shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego was perpetrated by Cain Clark, 17, and Caleb Vazquez, 18, who fled the scene in a BMW and […]

Unless you were a Chilean helicopter pilot back in the day, perhaps, you could almost certainly use a booster shot for your anti-Communism. This point was brought home […]

It’s a Long Way to Hope

If you’ve ever been to Lithia Springs, Georgia, where I grew up, you know where Thornton Road is. When I was a kid, parts of it were a dirt road, but now it’s a major thoroughfare. As it comes up north from I-20, Thornton Road is Georgia Route 6, but when it crosses Bankhead Highway […]

Trump Derangement Syndrome Reaches Terminal Stage as Democrats Seethe

Are you tired of all this winning yet? If you were on X (née Twitter) Friday, you could see Democrats raging vehemently (and ignorantly) against the Virginia Supreme Court decision, which held that last month’s referendum to redraw the Commonwealth’s congressional districts violated the Virginia constitution. When I traveled to Louisa County for a “Vote […]

Justice Thomas Concurs

The reaction of Democrats to the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais reminded me of General Sherman who, in proposing his 1864 “March to the Sea,” vowed the he would “make Georgia howl.” On TV and social media Wednesday, the howling from Democrats was deranged and incessant. From a conservative perspective, these reactions were […]
