Trump’s statement on Biden dropping out

Trump issued this statement about Biden leaving the 2024 race: “Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. All those around him, includ[...]

Biden put [x] party [x] country first

It’s perfectly clear that Biden wanted to take on Trump, beat him, and serve another term. Even as polling collapsed, and donors and fellow Democrats defected, he clung to that dream. He had to be nudged out. Obama and Pelosi talked to him, gently. Others went public, openly worried he’d[...]

Will corporate communists take over America?

“To each according to what he wants; from each according to his ability to pay” That could become a common corporate mantra in the United States of America. Under the increasingly pervasive personalized pricing system, corporations set prices based on what they know about for you. Need a toothb[...]

True or False: Did Biden “open our borders” to fentanyl smugglers?

There are three basic kinds of facts: Real facts, legal facts, and political facts. “Real facts,” as the term implies, are reality. “Legal facts” are the pictures lawyers paint to juries, which may bear little or no resemblance to reality. “Political facts” are wh[...]

Who was Thomas Matthew Crooks?

Not surprisingly, the 20-year-old white male who tried to assassinate Donald Trump on July 13, 2024, was known as an odd duck. High school classmates remember him as a friendly but quiet loner who kept to himself, dressed oddly in hunting clothes, and was mercilessly bullied. He was intelligent and [...]

Mike Collins and J.D. Vance should resign from Congress

Mike Collins, a first-term GOP congressman from Georgia (bio here), made a splash two months ago with a sick Kennedy joke.      Responding to RFK Jr.’s claim “a worm ate part of my brain” (story here), Collins joked, “You either die a Kennedy with a hole in the brain, or live long enough [...]

Thank you for your service, Mr. President

You beat Trump in 2020, and you’ve been a good president, enacting impactful legislation and threading excruciatingly difficult foreign policy needles. Mission accomplished. It’s time to pass the baton; you’re slowing down, you walk stiffly and get confused, even tongue-tied at times, and don�[...]

RFK Jr.’s dishonest campaign ad

“CNN anchor Jake Tapper is demanding Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign remove an ad from social media that … is deceptively edited to show leading cable news hosts such as Tapper, Dana Bash, MSNBC’s Joy Reid and others saying Democrats are ‘rallying’ around Kennedy&[...]

What is “democratic recovery” and how does it work?

The phrase was coined by Prof. Corey Brettschneider of Brown University (photo, left; see his C.V. here), who studies past presidents who “posed great threats to democracy” and wrote a book on that subject (get it here). His idea is that pushback by citizens can, and did, rein in rogue president[...]

You’d never guess Sen. Rubio has a law degree

If I didn’t tell you, you wouldn’t guess, because he doesn’t think like a lawyer. In fact, he’s never been a lawyer. He went straight from law school into politics. That paid off for him, he’s a senator now. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), bio here, is a politician with a law [...]
