Or to put it another way: “If somebody has to be put on an ice floe, it’s going to be Joe Biden,” writes Kevin Williamson in NRO. The cynic in me guesses that the Ukrainian gambit serves a dual purpose: First: It provides a pretext for a pre-election impeachment inquiry against the incumbent president — […]
5 Superstar Judges for SCOTUS
In his 2016 campaign, after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia thrust the Supreme Court into the campaign, Donald Trump put together a list of judges that, as Cato’s Ilya Shapiro writes, ultimately “attracted swing voters in key states.” President Trump appointed two Supreme Court Justices in his first term. Now he heads into a […]
David Lebovitz Redux —Shop Like a Parisian
Dick and I are heading back to Paris late in April. A good part of the fun of our planning is the reading, studying, and dreaming of all things francaise. David Lebovitz’s video of a visit to one of Paris’s wonderful open markets always inspires. We’ve stayed often at the Hotel Lutetia on Blvd. Raspail […]
Elizabeth Warren Would Vastly Expand Government Powers
You don’t have to be paying any special attention to the Democratic presidential campaign to know that Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s campaign centerpiece is based on anti-corruption. Francis Menton, who believes that government is inherently corrupt, recently conducted an evaluation of EW on political corruption. The government consists of human beings, and it’s just part of […]
Airing Joe Biden’s Dirty Ukraine Laundry
What is the citizenry of America to believe? An accusation from an unidentified intelligence source about President Trump calling the Ukrainian president? Immediately his political/media opponents cry that Trump has betrayed America. They hype censure or impeachment. Mr. Trump, who says the conversation was “perfectly fine and routine,” leaves the public “to sort the truth […]
Impeachment Like Popcorn for Democrats
It becomes addictive, and they can’t seem to get enough of it. Instantaneous Group Think Elizabeth Warren: “Like the man who appointed him, Kavanaugh should be impeached.” Kamala Harris: “He must be impeached.” Beto O’Rourke: “He should be impeached.” Julián Castro: “He should be impeached.” Bernie Sanders: “I support any appropriate constitutional mechanism to hold […]
Understanding the Kavanaugh (K)raziness – an Uncorroborated Travesty
Exactly what is going on with the New York Times? What has caused the hallowed newspaper to stoop so low as to print an op-ed piece about a new allegation of Brett Kavanaugh’s improper sexual conduct 30 years ago at Yale? And then, the very next day, conceding that the op-ed omitted in the piece […]
Just Plain Foolishness Is Dividing America
Below, a quick rundown of what the three top Democratic candidates had to say during last week’s debate in Houston, each followed by a response from Dennis Prager in American Greatness: Joe Biden: “Nobody should be in jail for a nonviolent crime.” After such a statement, that this man is taken seriously is a comment […]
Warren Not Truthful with Voters on Socialized Medicine
Not missing a beat during last week’s Democratic debate, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren continued their promises of government-run healthcare for all. Rivals Joe Biden and Amy Klobuchar had the tenacity to bring up some harsh reality checks, like how to pay for single-payer. The cost would be staggering, each argued. Bernie at Least Candid […]
Sweden’s Dirty Little Secret – Higher Taxes on Poor and Middle Class
How many Scandinavians does it take to make Bernie Sanders stop claiming that they live in socialist countries? During the latest Democratic debate, the Senator from Vermont tried to avoid “acknowledging the misery inflicted by socialist governments by once again pretending that Nordic economies are built on his Sandernista model,” as the James Freeman puts […]
