Remember back in 2009 when, after a hard-fought campaign, we elected Valerie Jarrett? No? How about in 2012, when David Plouffe won election in a walk? Nothing? Or in 2020, when Ron Klain and Anita Dunn were swept into office? Still drawing a blank? Then stop with the “Nobody elected Elon” twaddle. Nobody elected any …

A Revelatory Lack of Manners
Say what you will about Tuesday’s Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress; I found it quite illuminating. Although it mostly confirmed my suspicions, it was useful in showing the nation exactly what Washington D.C.’s Democrat party believes and embraces, and what it spurns. Best, one didn’t have to listen to a word; they …
Stupid and Very Dangerous
Shameful. That’s the only way to describe yesterday’s debacle in the Oval Office. Shameful and perilously dangerous. One of two things happened on Friday: either the meeting was an ambush, carefully planned and executed by people who knew beforehand that Volodimir Zelinsky would react as he did and used the opportunity to softened the man …
Stupid Wrong on Ukraine
Okay, here goes: President Trump, you are acting like an idiot over Ukraine. And you are simply wrong on fact. Ukraine did not “start” the present war with Russia. The war began with a brutal Russian invasion, green-lighted by then-president Biden’s comment that his Administration wouldn’t react to a “minor incursion.” So Vlad the Terrible …
Bureaucratic Washington Freaks Out
Okay, everyone. Take a couple of deep breaths and step back. The current ragefest over USAID is doing no one any good – least of all Democrats, who need to think hard about whether spending millions of taxpayer dollars on Colombian transgender opera, condoms for Gaza, DEI promotions in Serbia and all the other ridiculous …
Fair Warnings With A Smile
Yes, the speech certainly had some dark moments. But for all the Progressives clutching their collective pearls, a thought: you did this. You did this when you used US domestic and foreign intelligence services to surveil the first Donald Trump campaign and to try to hamstring his first administration. You did this when you enlisted …
Suicide by Fracture
In the early morning hours of January 1, 2025, a Texan named Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove his truck around a police car blocking access to the French Quarter in New Orleans, mowed down dozens of late-night revelers, crashed into a portable crane, emerged from the truck and started shooting passersby. He was immediately confronted by police, …
Joe’s Dangerous Pardonpalooza
In addition to his title as The Worst President in Modern History – and when you top both Jimmy Carter and Warren G. Harding, that’s a real accomplishment – Joe now has another title: the Prince of Pardons, the King of Commutations, the Reliever-of-Responsibility-in-Chief. Fifteen hundred so far, and counting. The highlights include a civic …
Donald Whiffs an Easy One
It wasn’t like Vice-President Harris’ strategy was hard to predict: vague promises instead of policies, including a boodle of money taken from others to pour over favored groups; multiple scare attacks on the abortion front; half-truths and outright lies. It was a risky strategy, because an opponent could use a recitation of fact to shoot …
Selected, Not Elected
Tell me true: how did Kamela Harris, a woman even our slackjawed, drooling leftist “media” was labelling worthless and a drag on the brilliant Joe Biden’s presidential re-up effort as late as this May end up the Democrat party’s presidential candidate? And where did Joe go? Remember “Selected, not elected?” Yes, the election of 2000, …
