If you’ve ever been to a Donald Trump rally, you’ll notice it doesn’t match the impression left by the media coverage of the president’s base. Anger, for instance, isn’t the prevailing mood. Hopefulness is more characteristic. But … [Read More...]

Isn’t it unethical for CNN to employ John Kasich as a “commentator” right now?
Isn’t it unethical to employ John Kasich, period? I ask you. I want to amplify this Matt Welch piece, which I think is entirely right. Kasich is seriously considering running for president and has been since, oh, the day after he dropped out of the 2016 race. … [Read More...]

Trump Fights Media Spin

Why Ex-Churchgoers Flocked to Trump
If you’ve ever been to a Donald Trump rally, you’ll notice it doesn’t match the impression left by the media coverage of the president’s base. Anger, for instance, isn’t the prevailing mood. Hopefulness is more characteristic. But there’s more. There’s something about these rallies that goes beyond politics, and his harshest critics have found it […]
Isn’t it unethical for CNN to employ John Kasich as a “commentator” right now?
Isn’t it unethical to employ John Kasich, period? I ask you. I want to amplify this Matt Welch piece, which I think is entirely right. Kasich is seriously considering running for president and has been since, oh, the day after he dropped out of the 2016 race. He’s courted donors to help fund his potential […]
Beto O’Rourke blog post: I’m in a funk and hear that old road a-callin’
I invite you to join in the chatterati’s amusement this afternoon by dipping into this, a Kerouac-style stream-of-consciousness musing that would have you believe that this suddenly formidable presidential contender is about to hit the road at the start of primary season just because he’s “in a funk” and need to clear his head ‘n […]
House Majority Leader Hoyer on border walls: ‘Obviously, they work some places’
It takes Bret Baier about four minutes to get House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer to admit that “Obviously, they work some places.” But those places don’t seem to be anywhere that Trump wants to put them because Hoyer is still working his talking points about the shutdown. Still, Hoyer’s halting, awkward admission that this debate isn’t about […]
Will any Senate Dems *not* running for president please sit down?
What hath Elizabeth Warren wrought? Eighteen days ago, the Democrat from Massachusetts launched her 2020 presidential campaign, to mild acclaim but mostly shrugs. Now the Senate appears to be emptying itself of her caucus members as they flood into the competition for the Democratic presidential nomination next year. Last week it was Kirsten Gillibrand. She’s […]
Freshmen Dems go looking for Mitch McConnell to pressure him on shutdown, end up at wrong office
The funny part of this isn’t the wrong turn. The funny part is the idea that McConnell, of all people, might be cowed by a bunch of Democrats. It’d be like the Freedom Caucus showing up at Pelosi’s office and demanding she back a balanced-budget amendment. Think she’d be intimidated? — A GROUP OF HOUSE […]
Pelosi’s stunt is just more progressive de-platforming
Allahpundit covered this earlier but I wanted to tag onto it as well because it seems pretty clear from the left’s reaction that what’s happening here is just more de-platforming of Trump. At the Washington Post, opinion writers Greg Sargent and Paul Waldman make this explicit: Only several weeks ago, we had a national debate […]
The real reason Trump didn’t release details of his calls with Putin
It’s hard to tell who was more angry that President Trump didn’t keep records of some of his phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin: the Democrats or the mainstream media. There’s an argument to be made that it’s the Democrats since there are reports that they’re thinking about subpoenaing his Russian interpreter. But no […]
NBC: Ocasio-Cortez all in on attacking moderate Dem incumbents
Ah, purity campaigns — the projects from which neither party ever learns any lasting lessons. The group Justice Democrats recruited Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run against Joe Crowley in a ridiculously safe Democratic seat as a way to shake up the status quo and gain a little political traction. Crowley, who had been part of the […]
Obligatory: The PETA “traditional masculinity is dead” ad
To cleanse the palate, it’s moments like this that make me pine for the rugged masculine bravado of the Gillette ad. “Traditional” masculinity is DEAD. The secret to male sexual stamina is veggies. pic.twitter.com/51DUsqzyO3 — PETA (@peta) January 16, 2019 To make the point that vegetarianism isn’t effeminate I might have tried interviewing a few […]
