Biden’s Withdrawal Doesn’t Mean Harris Automatically Succeeds Him!
What is amusing and simultaneously contributes to the cynicism some feel about politics is how many Democrats claimed until recently that President Biden was a different man in private than the mumbling, stumbling man everyone could hear and see in public. These include Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Biden apparently forgot to endorse in his...Read more
Where Does Joe Biden Rank Among America's Worst Presidents?
President Joe Biden's time in the White House is mercifully coming to an end. He's now officially a lame duck with six months to go.
Biden was a victim here of a corrupt Democratic machine (with a complicit media) that thought it could pull off a grand election-year deceit despite Biden's failing cognitive abilities. The establishment and a ...Read more
It's Too Late, Joe
WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden's letter announcing that he is standing down from the general election documented all the reasons the incumbent had to go.
But it's too late, Joe.
Your legacy is lost.
Biden should have announced he was not running for reelection a year ago -- or, at the very least, before he blew the June 27 debate with ...Read more
Nobody, Not Even the Secret Service, Can Be This Dumb. Not Even DEI Hires!
I've always known many government employees are dumb as a box of rocks. They couldn't last a week in the private sector. That's why they look for the safety of government jobs -- where you can be completely 100% incompetent for 20-plus years and keep your job.
Exhibit A is Kamala Harris. She is even dumber than her boss Joe Biden. But he has ...Read more
Trump Gets a Lifeline, Squanders It
MILWAUKEE -- Since a would-be assassin tried to kill former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally Saturday, his team has been telling the world that the brush with death -- which left Trump wearing a white bandage on his ear -- had changed him.
And I believed it, until Trump addressed the Republican National Convention on Thursday ...Read more
The Chosen One
I think it was 2019 when I first interacted with Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio). I had just finished my judicial clerkship and begun my career in media. J.D., just a few years older than me, was already a bestselling author and a tech venture capitalist. We were both interested in some of the energetic and ascendant elements of the Trump-era Right, ...Read more
Why Would Any Legit Dem Presidential Prospect Jump Into This Mess?
The Left's efforts to push a fragile Joe Biden out of the presidential race are probably hitting an apex around now, as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer reportedly showed up at the old man's house to "forcefully" ask him to pack it up. Many Democrats are now looking around for political saviors. I'm not sure it's going to be that easy.
Why ...Read more
Never Confuse Incompetence for Malice
A man can sleep better at night thinking evil men in charge have a plan than realizing incompetent idiots with no plan are in charge. Many Americans have resorted to conspiracy theories because they will not process that idiots are in charge in a confluence of random events who make matters worse through their gross incompetence.
During COVID...Read more
Are Trump Scandals Just Endless Hours of Noise?
On July 15, the opening day of the Republican convention, federal judge Aileen Cannon dismissed special counsel Jack Smith's indictments of former President Donald Trump for misuse of classified documents. Legal arguments aside, it cast a shadow over all the breathless media hype that came before it.
Year after year, partisan "legacy media" ...Read more
Echoes of History in This Year's Campaign
For those of a certain age, or with more than a woke education, the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump brings back echoes of history.
Not exactly the history of the abysmal political year of 1968, which saw the murders of Martin Luther King Jr., 39, and Robert F. Kennedy, 42, riots in major cities across the nation -- ...Read more
Taking Rights Seriously
"If all mankind minus one were of one opinion,
and only one person were of the contrary opinion,
Mankind would be no more justified
In silencing that one person,
Than he, if he had the power,
Would be justified in silencing mankind."
-- John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)
The world is filled with self-evident truths -- truisms -- that ...Read more
The United States Wins When Power Follows Ballots, Not Bullets
We are tested in times of adversity and danger, not when running victory laps.
Former President Donald Trump, currently de facto Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election, is no exception.
On Saturday, a miracle saved Mr. Trump's life from a 20-year-old would-be assassin's bullet that hit his upper right ear. Mr. Trump remained...Read more
How to Pay for Trump's Tax Cuts
While the GOP may not speak as loudly about our fiscal situation as it once did, this week's Republican convention offers a good chance to do so -- and to offer something positive. The situation is indeed dire. The national debt has reached staggering levels, and the next president will inherit a ticking time bomb of fiscal deadlines that ...Read more
It Really Isn't About Biden vs. Trump
Over the past eight-plus years, political analysts of all stripes have tended to give Trump the wrong sort of credit for the support he enjoys with voters. Leftists, in particular, marvel at former President Donald Trump's seeming ability to create positions with which so many Americans agree.
They are spectacularly wrong.
Trump has not ...Read more
What Trump Should Have Said Thursday Night
When Donald Trump takes the stage Thursday night and accepts for the third time the Republican Party’s nomination for president, he faces an opportunity and a temptation.
The temptation is to launch a full-bore attack on Democrats, President Biden, the left and the media. The opportunity is to use the sympathy he has garnered since last ...Read more
An Armed 20-year-old Got Within Range of Trump. How Did That Happen?
MILWAUKEE -- Tuesday was "Make America Safe Once Again" night at the Republican National Convention -- some 72 hours after Donald Trump was shot in the ear by a would-be assassin as the former president spoke at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old volunteer firefighter from Pennsylvania, died protecting his family. ...Read more
Trump Wants to Win. And That Should Scare Biden
In many ways, the selection of Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance as former President Donald Trump’s running mate is odd and seemingly impolitic.
After all, Vance is another white guy from a state Trump won twice and is sure to win again — hardly a value-add. He’s brash and often unlikeable. Despite his humble beginnings, he’s often described as a ...Read more
What We Must Learn From Trump Shooting
We now have, as we would expect, a tsunami of commentary regarding the horrible assassination attempt on Donald Trump. It is not trivial to observe that at least the good news is that just about everyone agrees what happened is very bad and not an encouraging sign about the state of our nation.
After that point of agreement, we have many ...Read more
Secret Service Misses the Assassin in Plain Sight
"See something, say something." After the 9/11 disaster, that phrase served as a terse marching order for alert American citizens willing to help stop terror attacks on U.S. soil.
"See something, say something" is superb national security advice. 9/11 demonstrated America is under attack. Every citizen can contribute to the defense effort.

Republicans Have the Wind at Their Backs
Republicans are launching their presidential race with the wind at their backs, and it's not because of President Joe Biden's mental incapacity or even former President Donald Trump's courageous, fist-pumping response to an attempted assassination.
Voters are switching allegiance out of disgust with the Democratic Party's pro-inflation, pro-...Read more
