The Kristol Crackup
You say that 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' is an over-the-top expression? Well, I bid you consider the sad case of Bill Kristol and his tweeting, twittering, meltdown. I am put in mind of the opening line of Allen Ginsberg's Howl: I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness . . . . "So…

Tucker Carlson on Bill Kristol
In this brilliant segment, 3:13 in length, Carlson 'unloads' with full justification on Bill Kristol, a man I used to read and respect.

A Real Red Scare This Time
The so-called Red Scare of the '50s and '60s was not a scare but a genuine threat. For a real red scare see my man Hanson, Why Does the Left Suddenly Hate Russia? The piece concludes: So what drives this about-face? Not the fact that Russia tried to cause chaos in 2016, as it has…

The Conservative ‘Resistance’ is Futile
David Gelernter is tops. Excerpt: I’d love for him [Trump] to be a more eloquent, elegant speaker. But if I had to choose between deeds and delivery, it wouldn’t be hard. Many conservative intellectuals insist that Mr. Trump’s wrong policies are what they dislike. So what if he has restarted the large pipeline projects, scrapped…

The Antithesis of Obstruction
Andrew C. McCarthy: The “collusion” narrative was a fraud, plain and simple. We know that now. Hopefully, it won’t take another six months to grasp a second plain and simple truth: Collusion’s successor, the “obstruction” narrative, is a perversion. [ . . .] To be clear, the Russia investigation is not a fraud. The Trump…

Votes by Non-Citizens May Have Cost Trump the 2016 Popular Vote
On 10 December of last year in an entry entitled 'Post-Truth' I wrote the following: For the Left, Donald Trump is the prime post-truther, the post-truth poster boy if you will, the prima Donald of the practice of post-truth. Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post doesn't expect him to truth up anytime soon. "Indeed, all…

The Architecture of Regime Change
The 'architecture' is laid out in convincing detail by Victor Davis Hanson in yet another piece of penetrating analysis. We are witnessing a desperate putsch to remove Trump before he can do any more damage to the Obama project. Political, journalistic, and cultural elites of a progressive coastal culture aim at destroying the Trump presidency…

The Summer of Hate
Fifty years after the Summer of Love, the summer of 2017 is shaping up as the Summer of Hate. The Left has come full circle, from (talk of) peace and love to resistance and hate. Their resistance is tantamount to sedition. Lefties posture as like unto the brave members of the French Resistance who opposed…

One Step Forward, One Step Back
Forward: The Southern border is being secured. And this despite the obstructionism of the donkeys. Back: U. S. Army goes 'transgender.' Here: The Army has begun mandatory transgender sensitivity training for soldiers. The training covers everything from “transfemale” soldiers to transgender shower etiquette to dealing with a male soldier who becomes pregnant. Interesting times, these.…

Obama the Hollow
Conservatives knew he was an empty suit from the git-go. Many lefties now admit as much. Does it follow that many leftists are raaacists?

Warning to ‘Liberals’
There is a line such that if you cross it you will have hell to pay. A lot of people think like Kurt Schlichter: I know it’s theoretically wrong for a Republican candidate to smack around an annoying liberal journalist, but that still doesn’t mean that I care. Our ability to care is a finite…

Why are the Never-Trumpers Still Anti-Trump?
Dennis Prager answers the question to my satisfaction. Here is the main part of his answer: The first and, by far, the greatest reason is this: They do not believe that America is engaged in a civil war, with the survival of America as we know it at stake. While they strongly differ with the…
