My Opinion of Lindsey Graham Up a Notch!
Here is something I wrote about Senator Graham on 31 March 2016: To understand liberals you must understand that theirs is a mind-set according to which a conservative is a bigot, one who reflexively and irrationally hates anyone different than he is. This is why conservatives who insist on securing the borders are routinely labelled…

Republicans Underestimate the Thuggery of Democrats
Andrew C. McCarthy: Democrats are willing to use any tactics to block conservatives from the Supreme Court and seat their own ideologues. The question is not “Fair or unfair?” It’s “Will it work?” Republicans always seem flat-footed in response because they underestimate how far Democrats are willing to go to win, how willing they are…

McCarthy Understands Support for Trump
Andrew C. McCarthy: President Trump says a lot of things that are not true and says a lot of other things that are foolish and unsavory. But his supporters are drawn to him, in large part, because he is willing to get into the muck with Democrats, fight them on their own demagogic terms —…

Kavanaugh is in Like Flynn
And what little credibility the Dems had left is out like Stout. (G. F. Stout?) Here: Opponents of Kavanaugh lost the fight when they lost their marbles. His foes on the Senate Judiciary Committee and allied activists ensured that opponents to the nomination appear to be a pack of wild cranks. [. . .] Not…

Swamp-Feverish Bill Kristol Plans Run Against Trump
The neocon knucklehead thinks he has a chance against Trump in 2020. He's delusional.

The Mueller Assault on a Duly-Elected President
Roger Kimball: Stepping back and looking at Mueller’s campaign against the President as a whole, it is clear that Mueller’s activities are meant primarily to intimidate, pressure, and co-opt associates of Donald Trump in order to convince them to bear witness against him. As I have observed many times, I believe this is part of…

Of Trump and The Tempest
Roger Kimball: I suspect that, come 2024, when President Trump completes his second successful term, Americans will indeed look back, but to the election of Barack Obama and the prospect of a second President Clinton in 2016. They will then wonder how they could have been so misguided as to have elected a naive, anti-American…

A Funeral for a World that Never Was
Solid insight from David Goldman a.k.a "Spengler": The bright line in American policy divides the utopians who believe that America’s mission is to bring free markets and liberal democracies to the benighted, backward nations of the world, and realists like Trump. Senator McCain threw his support to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in the expectation that…

What the Fight is About
Robert W. Merry understands that the fight is not primarily over Trump but over the soul of America and her future. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump opened up a series of fresh fault lines in American politics by advocating new directions for the country that no other politician would discuss. They included a clamp-down…

Was the Pre-Trump World Normal or Abnormal?
Another fine article from a man who is working too hard for his own, and our, good. An open memo to Professor Hanson: When I see you on TV, you look all fagged-out and beat-to-hell. We love you, we need you, and we want you to take care of yourself. And please realize that this…

Nice Ladies Leaving the Democrat Party
Here: Democrats are leaving their party more in sorrow than in anger, but leaving it they are, sickened by the Democratic Party’s hard left turn. Tens of thousands are telling their stories on the #walkaway movement’s public Facebook page. Their YouTube videos are a fascinating window into the innermost thoughts of kind, thoughtful people across America—all former Democrats. If the…

David Horowitz versus Jonah Goldberg
Here: The posture of these NeverTrumpers is transparently self-serving. It preserves their intellectual credentials as “conservatives,” and simultaneously takes them out of the line of fire from an increasingly vicious Left whose goal is to destroy Trump and his presidency, and—incidentally—conservative America. Sitting on the fence affords them new career opportunities—appearances on CNN and MSNBC…

‘Comrade’ Brennan Loses Security Clearance . . .
. . . for good reason whatever you think of Trump's motive.

Make Orwell Fiction Again
This from Nancy Pelosi's website (emphasis added): The Affordable Care Act, signed into law by President Obama in 2010, ensures that all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care and significantly reduces long-term health care costs. This historic legislation, in the league of Social Security and Medicare, will lead to healthier lives, while providing the American…

Democrats Only Pretend to Care About the Integrity of Our Elections
Here are three very important points. Please pay attention. 1) Barack Obama, you will recall, made light of the suggestion that U. S. elections could be rigged or stolen back in October of 2016. You can hear his own words here. He and almost everyone else was sure Hillary would win a couple of…
