CPAC: Not Worried at All

Posted on | February 29, 2020 | 1 Comment

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia
We’ll be checking out of here early this morning, relocating to the Gaylord, where my podcasting partner John Hoge will have a room for us to do tonight’s special 2-hour episode of The Other Podcast.

Friday was kind of my “chill” day at CPAC because, unlike Wednesday and Thursday, I didn’t have a midnight deadline for The American Spectator, and thus could relax and socialize more freely. My brother Kirby spent the afternoon roaming around with his camera, getting some great candid shots of the CPAC scene. (Click to enlarge.)

About 3 o’clock, I had an interview on Radio Row with Blanquita Cullum.

After that ended, we convened in the lobby bar, where Smitty showed up after a while and reminded me that he’d gotten me on the guest list for a Townhall VIP reception at 5 p.m. As we walked over that way, we encountered a somewhat confused Ed Morrissey of Hot Air. “Where’s this thing at?” Ed asked, and we led him over there. Everybody from PJ Media was there, as was Kurt Schlicter and this person you may recognize.

“Katie, I hate to act like a fan boy, but my sister-in-law is a big fan of yours, and I just have to get the picture for her.”

After a while, I went outside to have a smoke and found myself in the smoking area talking to a kid from Hampden-Sydney College. Took an instant liking to the kid and said, “Son, it’s time you learn the valuable skill of crashing a CPAC party.” So we went back up to the Townhall reception, sailing past the lady who was keeping the invitation list who recognized me — it’s the hat — and didn’t seem to notice I’d brought along a guest. Inside, he got free beer and free food, I introduced him to everybody and he got along splendidly. Thanks to Townhall for letting me infringe their hospitality. It seemed like the benevolent thing to do.

CPAC: Still Not Worried

Posted on | February 28, 2020 | 2 Comments

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia

“Lady MAGA” is “America’s Conservative Drag Superstar! Activist” and just happens to be staying in our hotel for CPAC. My brother Kirby got, uh, her photo (click to enlarge) and my only comment is that America has Lady MAGA while Canada has Jonathan “Jessica” Yaniv.

Don’t hate us for our freedom, bro.

When you turn on the TV news, everybody’s panicking about coronavirus, but everybody here at CPAC seems calm and cheerful. The stock market has dropped something like 4,500 points the past two weeks, and there’s a lot of politically motivated finger-pointing underway, and so what? My hunch is that fear of a pandemic is completely out of proportion to the actual danger, and that within six weeks, the scare will be over. Part of what has driven the hysteria is that it’s late winter, when everybody’s cooped up inside and you’ve got a lot of people sniffling, sneezing and coughing from ordinary colds. Once warm weather arrives and people can get outdoors again, everybody will be like, “What virus?”

So just keep calm and wait for April. Meanwhile . . .

Does former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker look worried? No, of course not. Kirby got that candid photo during Thursday night’s “Israel Heartland” reception, where Walker spoke along with Rep. Mark Meadows and Rep. Andy Biggs.

Does Grover Norquist look worried? Don’t be silly. He was hosting a reception yesterday at the Public House. One of the most influential activists in Washington, Norquist is president of Americans for Tax Reform, whose most famous quote is: “My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.” A worthy ambition.

Norquist has mentored many young conservatives, including my friend Will Upton, who used to work for ATR. In August 2011, when I was covering the Iowa Straw Poll, I met up with Will at a Des Moines bar one afternoon and told him I was getting ready to go cover a Mitt Romney event. Will decided to ride along and when we arrived at the event, there was a registration table out front. Neither of us had expected this. Would they be checking credentials? Would they let us in? Will just strolls up to the table and says, “Grover sent us.” We sailed through with no hassles.

Well, so much for campaign-trail nostalgia. Now I’ve got to jump in the shower and head back over to CPAC. I’m tentatively scheduled for two interviews on Radio Row this afternoon. Later . . .

Amid the fear mongering about #CoronaOutbreak from the degenerates on the left it's reassuring to find a safe harbor for sanity at #CPAC2020 pic.twitter.com/ij08b2swxs

CPAC: Fighting for Israel

Posted on | February 28, 2020 | 1 Comment

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia

Dalia Al-Aqidi (left, in a photo by my brother you can click to enlarge) is the Republican challenger to Rep. Ilhan Omar. She attended a CPAC event I covered Thursday night:

In emphatic terms, Jewish leaders praised President Trump during a reception Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference. “He has been the greatest friend for Israel any American president has ever been,” declared Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America. Speaking at a reception organized by the Israel Heartland Coalition, Klein’s remarks were applauded by an audience committed to making permanent the Jewish settlements in what the media usually calls the West Bank, but which Israeli patriots call by the historic names of Judea and Samaria.
As our own Dov Fischer has noted, last year the Trump administration vindicated the legality of these Jewish settlements, repudiating United Nations Security Council resolution 2334, passed in the waning days of the Obama administration. This move, perhaps even more than the decision to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, has won Trump the gratitude of Israelis and pro-Israel Jews.
It seems odd to write that phrase, “pro-Israel Jews,” which one might think would be redundant were it not for the existence of left-wing Jews who seem devoted to Israel’s destruction. The fact that Democrats might soon nominate Sen. Bernie Sanders as Trump’s opponent in the fall election brings this strange irony to the forefront. Sanders (who for a few months in 1963 actually lived in an Israeli kibbutz) has recently accused the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) of “bigotry,” and slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “reactionary racist.” . . .

CPAC: VodkaPundit Is Not Worried

Posted on | February 27, 2020 | Comments Off on CPAC: VodkaPundit Is Not Worried

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia
Look at that cheerful visage — does Stephen Green look worried? Of course not. I encountered the legendary VodkaPundit last night in the Public House, about a block from the Gaylord Hotel, where he was having a club sandwich and a cold beverage. We recalled good times at CPACs past, and I left there owing him a cold beverage. Considering that this is my 15th consecutive CPAC, it’s like a family reunion for me.

Down in the exhibition area, there was a reception Wednesday night, and I encountered this Mises vs. Marx video “rap battle.”

Got your Official Trump merchandise store.

But I wasn’t just wandering around CPAC seeing old friends, of course, I was engaged in journalism:

By the time President Trump speaks Saturday afternoon at the Gaylord Hotel National Harbor, the thousands of activists at the 48th annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) will have heard from dozens of Republican politicians, authors, strategists, and media personalities. As important as any of the other speakers might be, none will pack the Potomac Ballroom the way Trump will. It’s an election year, and Trump’s speech at CPAC can be considered the official launch of his 2020 campaign for reelection.
With socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont currently leading the field of Democratic presidential contenders to face Trump in November, the contrast could scarcely be clearer. Trump has repeatedly vowed — most recently in his State of the Union address — that “America will never be a socialist country.” Democrat primary voters seem intent on putting that proposition to the test, and Sanders’ promises of “Medicare for All,” free college tuition, and all the rest are as direct a challenge as any conservative could ever hope to see. Perhaps not since 1984, when Democrat Walter Mondale ran against Ronald Reagan with a promise to raise taxes, has the American electorate faced such a stark choice. . . .
