Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House
Mike Johnson appears to be a good pick for Speaker of the House. And better than McCarthy. Matt Gaetz vindicatus est. The Gaetz Gambit, to give it a name, led to a win. A 'win for White' I am tempted to say, pursuing the chess metaphor, except that that way of putting it will be…

Hannity Shreds RFK, Jr.
Here: Kennedy was already stammering when Hannity asked, “Do you still believe the NRA is a terror group?” Trending: Ilhan Omar's Attempt to Pin a 'War Crime' on Israel Gets Taken Apart Piece-by-Piece Kennedy tried to deflect by saying he supports the Second Amendment and the Constitution. But Hannity actually drilled down. “I didn’t ask you if…

Garland Grilled
How sweet it is to watch the despicably mendacious Atty Gen'l squirm in the hot seat under interrogation by such patriots as Gaetz, Jordan, Roy, and others.

Run Ramaswamy against Joe Dementia and it's in the bag. You decide. Less than 23 minutes. VR has an astonishing command of the issues. He has it all except name recognition. But that could change. He is young, brilliant, articulate, a self-funding outsider who is not another professional politician who went to law school, and…

Campaign 2024, Officially Chaos. Excerpts: The cognoscenti never figured out or accepted that the support for protest candidates like Trump or Bernie Sanders even is rooted in wide generalized rage directed their way. To this day they don’t accept it. They keep thinking they can wish it away, describe it away (see Bump’s description of Robert F.…

David Brooks
Read for free his What if We Are the Bad Guys Here? I invite Vito Caiati's comments and anyone else's who is capable of saying something intelligent and to the point. Addendum 8/6 I wonder if David Brooks can understand the point of the graphic below. In its third clause, the First Amendment guarantees free…
