At The American Conservative, Pat Buchanan explains that progressive Democrats are ready to eat their own, starting with Joe Biden. Biden, like other older, white, moderate, Democrats is expendable to the party’s progressive wing.

Is Islam Inferior to Christianity?
Originally posted on July 25, 2017. At The American Conservative, Rod Dreher pokes some holes in the rubric used by London’s police force to determine if a person is “Islamophobic.” I believe that the Islamic religion is inferior to Christianity because it is not true, in my view…. If people conclude that Islam is engaged […]
Sen. Warren’s Rivals – Spineless with Small Ideas
The sight of Sen. Elizabeth Warren happily rubbing her hands together at the prospect of illegally seizing wealth from rival John Delaney was worth more than a thousand words about her unconstitutional tax scheme. But Sen. Warren, James Freeman notes in the WSJ, made it clear during the Democratic debates that highly successful entrepreneurs aren’t the only […]
Ann Coulter on Immigration: We’re in a Buyer’s Market
Much of the argument for expanded immigration to the United States comes from the positive economic impacts immigration can have. But, as Ann Coulter notes at The Hill, America is in a “buyer’s market” for immigrants and has the opportunity to import the world’s best and brightest, but instead targets “the desperately poor, the culturally […]
Do Americans Want to Embrace Open Borders?
With Joe Biden seemingly incapable of impressing Americans in the Democratic debates, Pat Buchanan wonders whether Americans can embrace the philosophies of Biden’s closest competitors, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

Let’s Put to Bed the Idea that Socialism Is a Workable Plan
At The American Spectator, Scott McKay slays a number of the ideas Democrats, judging by their debate performances, hold dear. Fist he takes aim at political-correctness, and then hammers the idea that socialism is a workable plan. He writes (abridged): We just concluded one of the strangest, and most illuminating, weeks in the history of […]
Most Investors Fail to Learn This One Thing
Through more than half a century of guiding investors in their efforts, the greatest failure I have seen is an inability to learn from history. Repeatedly market participants set unrealistic goals, use overly complex strategies in an attempt to achieve those goals, and inevitably fail. In February of 2013 I explained this phenomenon, writing: The […]
Democrats Defend the Indefensible – Baltimore
In Baltimore, things have been good for the rats and not so good for homo sapiens. If you have seen “The Wire” you know what Roger Kimball means when he describes the T.V. series as more documentary than fiction. Drugs. Violence. Poverty. Squalor. When Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) described parts of Baltimore as, “You would think that you […]

A Quick Cheat Sheet on the Democrats’ Debate
From Roger Kimball: All the Democrats support policies that would raise taxes. They all support policies that would make the country poorer because less energy independent. Some want to give free college tuition to illegal immigrants, all want many more immigrants, legal or illegal. Most think Trump should be impeached. Some want to abolish private […]
