( About 7 1/2 minutes) So what do I expect out of all this? This close to the election all rationality goes away. I’m looking at Breitbart and the comments have degenerated into total invective. Before Labor Day I’d say about 50% tried to make a point or discuss one. That is now down to…

We should start an immediate investigation into @SenSchumer and his ties to Russia and Putin. A total hypocrite! pic.twitter.com/Ik3yqjHzsA — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 3, 2017

The CIA and the rest are worried about Donald Trump. And the threat is direct. No president since John F. Kennedy has dared to take on the CIA or the rest of the national security establishment or to operate outside the bounds of permissible parameters within the paradigm of the national-security state. That might have…

I saw a comment at this marvelous video that explains where at least some of the Trump Democrats were coming from. CHAS1422 I changed my party affiliation 6 months ago. I voted in Trump and accepted him as the pro-wrestling version of Demosthenes. Trump is the medicine to the inculcated echo chamber of the left.…

They lost State Houses and Governorships as well as the Presidency. They call it Down-Ballot Disaster for Democrats. And here is why: With the Republicans defending 24 seats, compared to 10 for the Democrats, the Democrats needed victories in a few key battlegrounds: Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.…

As one of my longtime favorite politicians here is Senator Chuck Schumer, I am shocked — SHOCKED — to learn that he his brother in law is becoming a federal judge. “SOME SUSPECT CRONYISM,” said Glenn Reynolds earlier. No way. That would never happen. I mean, we’re talking about the man who said, “I think Fannie…

Reading that Senator Schumer called an airline flight attendant a “bitch” simply because she asked him to turn off his cell phone as federal rules require, a couple of things came to mind. First, we have one of the quintessential champions of massive federal power — a guy whose daily existence consists of figuring out…

Here is a headline I never expected to see in my lifetime. U.S. Steel Exports Surpass Imports. So far it is only for the month of August. Still. A steel industry trade group said the United States exported more steel than it imported in August for the first time in more than 50 years. But…

The Democrats plan to pass their health care bill next Thursday. The Washington Post front page blares today: “Prospects for Public Option Dim in Senate.” Don’t believe it. Yes, the Senate Finance Committee did vote down two amendments that each would have added a government-run insurance plan to the committee’s health care bill. But two…

Howard Wooldridge, a retired police officer who is against the drug war, had this to say about his experience at the 9/12 March Against Washington (via e-mail). “Resistance continues to crumble: How conservative does one have to be to board a bus & travel all night to go to a march on Washington on September…

The very same people who don’t want the Fairness Doctrine want the FCC [Federal Communications Commission] to limit pornography on the air. So said Chuck Schumer, in remarks widely interpreted as a comparison between talk radio and pornography. While talk radio and pornography have little in common, that’s not the point. What’s being concealed by…

Like a lot of people, I’ve been wondering about those polls. If McCain were to pull ahead of Obama (as he has four or five times before), wouldn’t the Obama campaign be so scared that they would want the results either changed, statistically skewed, or somehow not reported? I realize they don’t have the kind…

I don’t think I’ve ever said “I’m not an economist” as many times as I have in the past few weeks. But I’m not. My point is that I, along with a lot of people who are not economists, continue to sound off on a daily basis about extremely complex economic issues of vital importance…

It seems like Mr. Obama has heeded the call of President Bush. WASHINGTON (AP) — With extraordinary stakes on the line, President Bush has invited both presidential candidates and the leaders of the House and Senate to the White House on Thursday in hopes of securing a bill to rescue the economy. Bush took the…

Things look pretty bad for McCain right now. The left has been pushing the McCain=Bush meme for so long that a lot of people have come to accept it through osmosis. And now that there’s been an “economic meldown,” there’s a huge “rescue plan” being pushed by Bush. The Democrats are jumping all over each…

The American Thinker asks: What do the Saudis want? Slowly but surely it is beginning to dawn on a world mesmerized by the Democratic primary contest that an oil cartel has been picking our pocket with impunity by willfully failing to adjust its output to the additional needs of China and India. More specifically, Americans…

Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our first lady – a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation – is a congenital liar. — William Safire, Jan. 1996 Apparently, this realization has faded. I was startled when earlier I saw Glenn’s link…

Remember in the good old days of the Cold War, when political analysts in this country used to play Kremlinologist? The Soviet leadership would line up on the reviewing stand of the Lenin Mausoleum (especially on Mayday) to watch men and missiles on parade, and the slightest details were watched avidly. For “signs.” And “clues.”…

While I try to keep track of feminist heroines, I’m afraid I’m not keeping up with the times. Yesterday the feminist heroine was Queen Isabella; today I see that Hillary (who has been considered a “feminist heroine“) is now the Queen of Pork: When it comes to earmarks, an issue that voters responded to more…

I don’t know which I consider more newsworthy — another bizarre outburst by Michael Savage or the fact that Ace has actually linked Media Matters’ account of it, but hey, both events happened. Hmm… Now that I think about it, Ace linking Media Matters is a far more unusual event than Michael Savage simply behaving…
