Even though the woman accusing Brett Kavanaugh of drunken assault when both were teenagers has come forward publicly, that should not deter Republicans from proceeding with their current confirmation-vote schedule, argues the WSJ. There is no way to confirm her story after 35 years, and to let it stop Mr. Kavanaugh’s confirmation would ratify what […]
No Increase in Hurricanes, Floods, Droughts within the Past 30 Years
As Hurricane Florence continues to pound the Carolinas with historic volumes of water – leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power, flooding vast areas of the region, sending many residents in search of food and shelter, and the death toll rising – the news media are not shy about defining the disaster as the […]
It Never Happened Under Obama
The Beltway press corps seems incapable of acknowledging that the health of the U.S. economy is more important than President Trump’s tweets about the health of the economy. However President Trump describes it, there’s no denying the good news, James Freeman reminds readers in the WSJ. Business creation reaches the highest level ever recorded in […]
Trading a Senator’s Vote for Political Donations
Is it bribery or extortion? As though the undignified theatrics that took place during last week’s confirmation hearings of Brett Kavanaugh weren’t embarrassing enough, there is now this, according to the WSJ. Unless Senator Susan Collins (R. ME) opposes Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation, a crowdfunding website pledges to give more than $1 million to her opponent […]
Obama Reminds America Why Trump Is President
“How hard can that be? Saying that Nazis are bad,” former President Barack Obama asked a crowd in Illinois last weekend. David Harsanyi, senior editor at The Federalist, has a couple of answers. Well, probably no harder than saying the words “radical Islam,” I imagine. Or maybe it’s slightly less difficult than not sending billions of dollars to Holocaust-denying terror […]
Not How the President Should Treat the Press
Last Friday in a speech, former President Obama said that, while he complained about Fox News, he never tried to shut down the news outlet or call it “an enemy of the people.” Not so fast, argues Mollie Hemmingway, senior editor at The Federalist. Obama took more punitive actions against the media during his time […]
The Fury and Vindictiveness of Trump’s Opponents
There are times when publishing a letter by an anonymous writer is prudent. For example, the WSJ reports that in 1991 it shielded the name of a rape victim amid a debate over publishing the names of victims. Using pseudonyms for authors at times has shielded the identities of writers at risk of being punished […]
Cory Booker’s AHA Moment Subverted
To much fanfare, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on Thursday released emails from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s time as a White House counsel, escalating a heated fight over his documents. Booker released approximately 12 pages of emails tied to discussions Kavanaugh had on racial inequality including one email thread titled “racial profiling.” The documents are marked “committee confidential,” meaning they were not […]
Democrats Loutishness on Full Display at Confirm Hearings
Want a reason for Trump voters to go to the polls n November? Look no further than the torrent of trash-talk aimed at Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing from Democratic Sens. Kamala Harris, Richard Blumenthal, Sheldon Whitehouse, Mazie Hirono, Cory Booker and Dick Durbin. “Unbearable,” writes Danniel Henninger in the WSJ. Through all of the hysterics, […]
Dishonoring War Hero John McCain
Our National Cathedral is not an appropriate setting for partisan behavior. On Saturday last, there were in effect two ceremonies. One for John McCain, senator, Navy veteran and prisoner of war, where he was given a suitable, stately, well-attended funeral service. The second service, writes Conrad Black in American Greatness, detracted from the first by […]
