June 6, 2024, marks the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. We’re now four generations removed from that fateful day, and only a handful of its veterans are still alive to remind us of the lessons America should learn from that war. Before World War 2, America was isolationist, and caught [...]

Tulsi Gabbard is running for vice president
Wikipedia says (here) that “Greg Gutfeld, the host of Gutfeld! on Fox News, predicted that Gabbard would be chosen as Trump’s running mate.” Asked about it, Gabbard said she “would be honored to serve,” and in March 2024, “Gabbard was cited by Trump as one of h[...]
All these chickens are under arrest!
The Libertarians held their 2024 nominating convention in Washington D.C. on Saturday, May 26, 2024. They invited Biden, Trump, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but only Trump and Kennedy showed up. Trump was accompanied by a Secret Service detail. Trump isn’t popular with the Libertarians. Or with [...]
Biden or Trump, some choice
The 2024 polls show most Americans prefer [x] neither of the above. But presidents don’t need to be popular, and usually aren’t. JFK’s popularity was a big thing in its time because popular presidents are rare. There are three important considerations in choosing a president and po[...]
RFK Jr. is lying about the pandemic
In his early days Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (photo, left) struggled with drugs and initially failed the New York bar exam, but then bootstrapped himself to a highly successful environmental law career, much of it working for nonprofits and teaching law students (read his bio here). I’ve attended e[...]

RFK Jr. campaign loses black outreach director
This can’t possibly be bad for the candidate, because of who she is. Angela Stanton-King (photo below, at right) has quit that role, but will remain an informal adviser, MSNBC reported on May 22, 2024 (read story here). Stanton-King has, shall we say, an interesting biography. She did prison t[...]
Nikki Haley endorses Trump
Nikki Haley says she’ll vote for Trump, not Biden, in November 2024 (read story here). Surprised? You shouldn’t be. She’s a Republican, ambitious, and doesn’t want to jinx her political future. But it’s also more of the Nikki Haley we know. Three years ago I called her R[...]
Of course debates are rigged against Trump
Lara Trump, RNC co-chair and daughter-in-law, complained “debates are always ‘rigged so heavily’ in President Biden’s favor,” The Hill reported on May 16, 2024 (read story here). Of course they are. Biden ate Trump’s lunch in 2020 and will in 2024. Trump is weak on i[...]

O. J. Simpson at Trump rally!
Trump held a big rally in New Jersey on Saturday (although it got smaller as he was speaking, see story here), and during his speech he gave a shout-out to his golfing buddy “O.J.” upon spotting him in the crowd (read story here). Later in his speech, Trump mentioned “O.J.” a[...]
BiBi vows to fight with “fingernails” if Biden denies him weapons
After Uncle Sam threatened to cut off his prodigal nephew, the Israeli leader vowed, “If we need to, we will fight with our fingernails.” (See story here.) That’s an interesting concept. It might give Palestinians a fighting chance. If he’s going to do that, he should let the[...]
