Joe Biden: An Anti-Civilizational, Race-Baiting, Opportunist and Ignoramus
And as all of those things, a worthy representative of the contemporary hard-Left, hate-America, Democrat party. Ben Shapiro has his number: More importantly, however, Biden's characterization of "English jurisprudential culture" as "white man's culture" is profoundly disturbing. English jurisprudential culture is rooted in the belief in the rule of law, due process of law, equal…

Third Parties
Stack man is against them. Third parties are discussion societies in political drag.

Ron and Vivek: Their Day Will Come
Both are outstanding patriots. Their day will come. They will serve the republic well if there is any republic left to serve five years from now. We have reason to be hopeful. But Trump is the man of the hour. He alone can get us back on track. When Trump's work is done, the young…

The Case for Trump
Brilliantly made by Sebastian Gorka before the Oxford Union. (12 min.) See also, National Populism and the Rise of Donald Trump UPDATE (21 January 2024) The case for Trump can also be made from the inanity and perversity of the criticisms made of him by our political enemies. Among them are the Never Trumpers at…

Politics, Lies, and Counterfactuals
Suppose I say 1) Had Jeb Bush won the 2016 Republican nomination for president, Hillary Clinton would have won the presidential election. We know, of course, that Donald J. Trump won the 2016 election. Suppose an Anti-Trumper calls me a liar for asserting (1). Have I lied? That depends on what a lie is. What…

Dueling Articles
We need to revisit in thought if not in fact the practice of dueling. Later. In lieu of that, here are a couple of dueling articles. You know where I stand. How about you? David Frum, The Ruin that a Trump Presidency Would Mean Steve Cortes, Only Trump Can Save America For the foolish Frum…

Of Course Trump Won Iowa
Dov Fisher speaks his mind: There has been only one truly great country in the entire world these past 150 years, the United States of America. [. . .] America’s great secret always was equal opportunity. It remained a step behind its fullest potential as long as it denied equal opportunity to some of her…

Trump is Off-Putting?
Indeed he is. But he's all we've got. A couple of Fox personalities interviewed him the other night. He kept referring to DeSantis as "DeSanctimonious." The man has no class. This is a large part of the reason why bow-tied, yap-and-scribble Beltway conserve-nothing cuckservatives can't abide him. But class is overrated in any case and…

Cease-Fire?
How about a cease-fire against DJT?

Political Argumentation and Political Evolution
Top o' the Stack. Written in May 2016 but still relevant. I defend the cogency of the 'Hillary is worse' defense of Donald Trump against Charles Murray. In the January 2004 post scriptum I concede that the impressive 'Jacques,' an untenured Canadian philosopher whose name I cannot reveal because of vicious leftists such as Brian…

Never Nikki
Rand Paul explains. And if the well-fed Chris Christie, who has wisely 'suspended' his campaign, is to be believed, Nikki Haley is "going to get smoked." Going to get (Christie), and ought to get (Paul). I admire Nikki: she's "in the arena, bloodied but unbowed," slugging it out with the big boys, standing her ground,…

It Ain’t Beanbag
Nikki is toast and the well-fed Christie as well. The brutality of her take-down by DeSantis, Ramaswamy, and Megyn Kelly makes me feel sorry for her. Politics ain't beanbag, as the saying goes. But hats off to Nikki Haley for having the civil courage to be in the arena. Say what you want about politicians, but…

Biden Too Old?
Wrong question! despite its being asked repeatedly by lemming journos. Not too old, unfit for office. Physically decrepit. Non compos mentis. Morally corrupt to the core. A fraud and a phony. Rooted in no principles of his own. A mouthpiece for deleterious leftist doctrines. A disaster for the republic and for the world. Those who…

Glenn Reynolds on Barack Hussein Obama
The Instapundit is spot on: And speaking of Obama, he’s suddenly reappeared. It’s been an open secret in Washington that much of the Biden Administration’s policy – and particularly its mideast foreign policy – has been run on instructions from the Obama crowd. And now suddenly Obama has shown himself to opine on the Hamas massacre in…

Mike Pence ‘Suspends’ his Campaign
Here: "I came here to say it’s become clear to me this is not my time. So after much deliberation I have decided to suspend my campaign for president effective today," he said onstage. " It'll never be your time, pal. You're a superannuated relic of a time long gone. Good riddance. Your use of…
