At The American Spectator, Dov Fischer compares the performance of Barack Obama’s midterm campaigning to that of Donald Trump’s. While Obama coming to town was a death knell for many Democrats in 2010 and 2014, Donald Trump singlehandedly saved the candidacies of a number of senatorial, gubernatorial, and House candidates. Fischer writes (abridged): Ultimately, that […]

California Shooting: The Evil We May Face
Where do you begin as a parent in describing another horrific shooting? Words can’t describe the horror and now loss of sons and daughters that won’t be coming home for Thanksgiving. What is the anti-gun crowd thinking? We know bad guys will get their guns—it takes good guys with guns to stop them. Talk to […]
Jeff Sessions Resigns: What Next?
Yesterday, Jeff Sessions resigned as Attorney General. CNBC reports: Attorney General Jeff Sessions is leaving the Trump administration after more than a year of public criticism from his boss, President Donald Trump.

I Voted for Florida’s “Jobs Savior” Rick Scott
And I voted, like every small business owner in Florida, against the worst governor candidate in America, the under-a-dark-cloud Andrew Gillum, an anti-jobs socialist. And I voted against tired “Old Bill” Nelson, part of a bygone era of political hacks and losers. What a misfit “Old Bill” has been in an era of the “jobs savior” […]

Trump and Americans: Big Winners on Election Night
President Trump, with his huge win in the Senate can focus laser like on readying perhaps two new pro-2nd Amendment-strong Supreme Court nominations. I’m looking here at young justices in the Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia mode. The President, while not hip-hop happy, will, with a wave of his hand and a big smile, simply dismiss […]
Progressives Take the House? Trump Prevails Regardless
No problem. None at all. Donald Trump will be working with a poised pen and full inkwell. Any legislation progressives might be able to jam through a House still loaded with Republicans and cantankerous Blue Dog Democrats and NRA-A-rated Democrats will be Trump vetoed. Progressives will attempt to override a presidential veto. But. oops, from […]
Congratulations Rick Scott and Ted Cruz
Despite the media’s embarrassingly fevered coverage of “Beto” O’Rourke, and the character assassination heaped upon Rick Scott, both Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Scott (R-FL) were successful in their campaigns for the Senate. Daniel R. Depetris explains in The American Conservative that while the Democrats had a great night in the House, it was horrific for […]
The Wave that Wasn’t
Rather than turning into a nationalized wave election in favor of Democrats, last night’s election was a mixed bag, leaving Republicans somewhat relieved it wasn’t worse, and Democrats disappointed they didn’t win more seats. Republicans gained multiple seats in the Senate, solidifying their control on the appointment process and over ratification of treaties. Those powers, […]
