Years ago, a dear friend who worked for former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld invited me to join the two of them at a photography exhibit. The Secretary needed some assistance, having had shoulder surgery. He was loathe to have a lady carry his briefcase. It became my job. We walked through the exhibit of photographs and he had stories ...Read more

It has been two weeks since palpably senile President Joe Biden delivered the single worst performance ever given in a presidential debate, and the fallout continues to tear the Democratic Party asunder.

For two weeks, most of the left-wing corporate media, joined by a small but growing number of elected Democratic officials, have desperately...Read more

If Joe Biden is pushed out of the presidential race by elite Democrats, the most obvious replacement is Kamala Harris. Numerous pundits have noted that the vice president is already running ahead of Biden against Donald Trump -- even before she's had the chance to make her case.

Though I'm not in the predictions racket, I've been around long ...Read more

"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." -- Proverbs 16:18

President Joe Biden, who earned our respect and affection over the past four years, is now trying our souls. In an interview on a Philadelphia radio show, he mumbled that he was proud to be "the first Black woman to serve with a Black president." Later, ...Read more

Republicans and many independents do not believe in the term "independent fact-checkers" when it comes to federal elections. Fact-checkers predictably defend Democrats from GOP "misinformation" in election season. Democrat extremism on abortion is one topic where the fact-"checkers" are the fact-manglers.

Take Republican Senate candidate Tim ...Read more

Fourteen days after his disastrous debate, President Joe Biden is still in the race for reelection. Multiple elected Democrats, New York Times editorial writers and columnists, and Democratic Party megadonors -- "elites," sneers the perceptive David Dayen -- have called on him to step aside. A secret ballot of congressional Democrats, the ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Let's remember the original sin in the Joe Biden saga. In 2008, Barack Obama chose the then-Delaware senator to be his running mate.

Obama, then an Illinois senator, wanted someone with years of Washington experience to balance his first-term decision to run for the presidency. Biden had the glad-handing skills the cerebral ...Read more

In his famous dissent in Olmstead v. United States, Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis in 1928 called the right to be left alone the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men. He was referring to the right to be left alone from the government -- a right that today we call privacy.

Olmstead was involved in ...Read more

As the Republican National Convention kicks off Monday, former President Donald Trump's campaign stands at a critical juncture. His core supporters remain steadfast. But winning will require the former president to broaden his appeal to the undecided or voters underwhelmed by his maiden term. He must convince them they will be better off after...Read more

The Republican National Committee just released its 2024 platform. While calling it a platform is a stretch, the list of bullet points gives an idea of what the potential next Trump administration's goals are. Here's one issue that should be front and center: End inflation and make America affordable again.

To be sure, "make America more ...Read more

Three years ago, we had the great pleasure of hosting Emma, a 16-year-old young woman from Magdeburg, Germany, who decided to attend a year of high school here in the United States. Emma was in the same class and on the school swim team with our daughter Celeste, and when Emma's initial family placement did not work out for logistical reasons ...Read more

On July 8, Reuters reported Belarus and China were conducting joint military exercises a few kilometers from the Belarus-Poland border.

No one sane would associate the exercise's code name, Falcon Assault, with peace-keeper training.

Poland also borders Ukraine, which is due south of Belarus. In February 2022, Russian tanks and mechanized ...Read more

Homelessness, unfortunately, has become a persistent and growing problem in the United States.

The Supreme Court, in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, just dealt with one big issue associated with this problem -- the ability of cities to prohibit camping on public property.

Per the city of Grants Pass, Oregon, the answer has been that the ...Read more

President Joe Biden is incapable of governing. Americans can see it, and perilously our adversaries can too. The U.S. Constitution spells out a remedy in the 25th Amendment. But a constitution is just a piece of paper, only as good as the people who have taken an oath to live by it. For the 25th Amendment to work requires selfless patriotism -...Read more

Joe Biden and Donald Trump fight about everything. But they agree about one thing: tariffs, the subject of my new video. Trump imposed tariffs on steel, aluminum, washing machines, solar panels and other products from China. Then Biden took office and slapped a 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles. Now Trump says, if elected, he'll impose ...Read more

That is an increase of $7,095,672,753,639....Read more

With the revelation over the past two weeks that President Joe Biden is mentally and physically diminished, Democrats have traveled through all five stages of grief; first, they experienced denial; then anger; then bargaining; next, depression; finally, acceptance. But what they're accepting is not Joe Biden's mental decline. What they're ...Read more

Does anybody remember the gentle days of political humor when Johnny Carson was the King of Late Night? Today's late-night environment is largely a nasty gang of hardened leftists (with Jimmy Fallon being the closest to the Carson model).

A new Media Research Center study by Alex Christy found the political tilt of guests (with a political ...Read more
