Winston Churchill, the greatest half-American to ever live, is famously quoted as having said: “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” The quote is exactly half-right. The best argument against democracy is actually a five-minute conversation with the average lawmaker. Never clearer has this been than watching the U.S. Senate this week…
NEW YORK CITY — Is it possible that President Trump has already beaten Sen. Bernard Sanders? Four years ago, Bernie Bros stormed Iowa and took over the Democratic caucuses. Party leaders for the second time had crowned former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee already, and for the second time, an unlikely interloper swooped…
BOCA GRANDE, Florida — Every generation has them: the snake-oil charlatans who stir their witches’ brew of lies and cats’ tales and shuffle their decks of grimy tarot cards portending your doom — your certain doom! — if you don’t pay them a handsome price for the antidote to cure you. The world is about…
It’s official. Black Lives really don’t Matter. At least not inside the Democratic Party. For a party so thoroughly obsessed with race, it is amazing just how white they are. If you were one of the Americans who declined to tune into last week’s Democratic debate, you missed just how thoroughly white the party of…
Amid all the impeachment hysteria and sleight of hand, here is your guide to what actually happened in Congress this week. First and foremost, President Trump did not get impeached Wednesday night.

“Facts really do matter.” — Former FBI Director James B. Comey, April 26, 2018 President Trump is a stooge of Russia, a puppet of Vladimir Putin, we have been told from the beginning. He is a morally unhinged reprobate unworthy of the White House. You didn’t just hear this from anonymous bots in the sewer of Twitter or…
Never in the history of public schooling has a regiment of substitute teachers been so disappointed in their rowdy new pupils as the impeachment professors were Wednesday. Inside the chambers of the House Judiciary Committee, the great professors were interrupted, dismissed, and ignored by the very worst goof-offs ever seen in American academia. Preening, entitled…
Michael Bloomberg? Seriously? For president? Because what people are looking for today as an alternative to the current occupant of the White House is a massively wealthy, arrogant New York City billionaire with his own fleet of private jets. Politically, strategically, rationally — these people have lost their minds to Trump Derangement Syndrome. The only…
Yes, Virginia, there is a political realignment going on. But it is not the one you think it is. Or the one the stupid media keeps telling you it is. So much hand-wringing came from Republicans and conservatives over this week’s election results out of places like Virginia and Kentucky. Democrats took over both chambers of the Virginia…
It is worth noting that previously there have been three (3) votes by the full House on impeaching President Trump. Each failed miserably, losing lopsided and bipartisan votes. Never mind again. Now comes Mrs. Pelosi forcing a vote by the full House on a formal impeachment inquiry. It passed by brute majority, 232-196. While technically a “win”…
