At least four Republicans are considering getting into the 2020 race to mount a primary challenge to President Trump. The Washington Post reports that Joe Walsh, Mark Sanford, Jeff Flake, and John Kasich are all either testing the waters themselves or being encouraged by others to consider taking the plunge. The anti-Trump movement inside the
Month: August 2019
Hey, he never promised you a Rose Garden … ceremony. After publicly endorsing the expansion of background checks for firearms sales, Donald Trump has reversed himself after hearing from Republican allies and NRA chief Wayne LaPierre. However, that doesn’t mean that Trump won’t pursue other changes in the wake of two mass shootings: President Trump talked Tuesday
Centuries from now, when archaeologists unearth the long-buried cities of the United States of America, they may find artifacts of what by then will be the forgotten craft of journalism. Just as we look today at the medical practices of antiquity and wonder how our forebears could have been so backward, those archaeologists of the
President Donald Trump promised he’d get rid of bad rules. “Remove the anchor dragging us down!” he said when campaigning for president. “We’re going to cancel every needless job-killing regulation!” Trump was a developer, so he knew that the thicket of rules government imposes often makes it impossible to get things done. But would he
Perhaps you too have noticed a distinct coarsening of public language in our society. Not just during this Democratic primary campaign or presidency. But going back some years. Lyndon Johnson was particularly profane. An open mic caught George W. Bush describing one reporter as a back-facing part of the lower human anatomy. Vice President Joe
Why wouldn’t he be? Donald Trump doesn’t have a good answer to that question, and the people posing it don’t really have a reason to ask anyway. Trump confirmed yesterday that Mike Pence will remain on the ticket for a second term, ending speculation that ran into the dozens of people: U.S. President Donald Trump
Imagine a group of people who work to destroy Italy because, they claim, Italy’s origins are illegitimate. Imagine further that these people maintain that of all the countries in the world, only Italy is illegitimate. And then imagine that these people vigorously deny they are in any way anti-Italian. Would you believe them? Or would
All Democrats have to do in 2020 is not be crazy. How’s that going? Er … not well, friends, not well at all: A political fundraiser for @SenatorSandoval simulates an assassination attempt against a mock @realDonaldTrump decked out in Mexican garb. Looks like a man pointed a fake assault weapon at the fake President to pose
ESTES PARK, Colorado — I often say that what happens on Twitter isn’t a reflection of American life in the real world. The facts mostly back that up. Last month, a Pew survey showed only about 22% of U.S. adults say they use Twitter. Twitter users skew younger, identify more as Democrats, are more educated
Is there more to the Greenland rumor than meets the eye? Donald Trump confirmed rumors yesterday that his administration had looked into the potential for purchasing Greenland, noting the strategic potential for such a transaction. However, Trump also told reporters that “it’s not number one on the front burner” on his vacation agenda: President Trump
This is akin to finding out that Dan Hedaya was Keyser Soze. The years-long effort to defund Planned Parenthood may have finally succeeded, the Daily Beast reported over the weekend, because the nation’s leading abortion mill may refuse to take the money. A new rule prohibiting abortion counseling and referrals from Title X providers will

New Brunswick Today editor Charlie Kratovil speaks out after the attack on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’
Donald Trump channeled his inner James Carville last night in New Hampshire, hammering on the economy as his best argument for re-election. “Love me or hate me,” Trump told the crowd that was clearly in the first camp, “you’ve got to vote for me” to keep the economy growing. Nearly thirty years after Carville’s famous
It’s almost as if they’re already American, though! The business of Greenland is business, its leadership emphasized after rumors swirled yesterday that Donald Trump wanted the US to acquire the island from Denmark. The third try is not the charm, Greenland residents told CNN, and not charming either: President Donald Trump has on multiple occasions brought

What can you do when populists start, er, populisting? Just hope that they don’t list too far to the Left. Both the New York Times and Politico report overnight that Donald Trump wants to put together a major gun bill in the wake of two mass shootings this month, although just how major remains to be
As a confrontation between Hong Kong protesters and Chinese authorities escalates, Donald Trump has decided to turn up the heat a little himself. Trump had been oddly quiet about the pro-democracy protests in China’s administrative state, even though they have adopted the American flag as one of their symbols of protest. Over the last twenty-four
And we thought Robert “Beto” O’Rourke’s announcement of a “major address to the nation” was laughably arrogant. The three-time congressman used the platform this morning to explain why he will not drop out of the presidential race to help out his party and challenge incumbent John Cornyn in next year’s Senate race. The Senate’s just
Rush-hour traffic in Los Angeles can be nightmarish under the best of circumstances. A drive from, say, Santa Monica to downtown L.A. might take a half-hour in the middle of the night, but it could be two or three times as long during the morning and afternoon commute times. Every day, hundreds of thousands of
For the first time since the Great Recession, a major signal of impending recession has emerged. The inverted yield curve has sent investors running away from the stock market this morning, and appears to corroborate earlier warnings that the US economy is heading into a major problem: U.S. stocks tumbled at open Wednesday after the
The Libertarian Party — which still hopes to become the third serious, big party in the United States — has released a tweet in support of the protesters in Hongkong. “The people of Hong Kong are taking a serious stand for their liberty,” the party writes. “We wish them the best as they resist oppression.”
Sometimes it’s all right to change your mind in politics, especially when you may have been out of your mind in the first instance. Last week, Donald Trump all but announced a commutation for former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich’s 14-year prison sentence for corruption, calling investigators “sleaze bags.” The White House immediately attempted to soften
Former Vice President Joe Biden, in December 2018, said, “I am a gaffe machine.” File that under the category of truer words have seldom been spoken. President Donald Trump benefited in the 2016 presidential contest because the unfavorable numbers of his opponent, Hillary Clinton, matched or exceeded Trump’s own unfavorable numbers. This time, in his

Well, perhaps not entirely without penalty, but the descriptions we’re seeing in response to Bernie Sanders’ recent accusations against the Washington Post certainly represent a change in tone from when the Bad Orange Man says mean things about the press. So where did this come from? It turns out that Sanders, along with other Democratic

Have you volunteered to be an organ donor? I did. I just clicked the box on the government form that asks if, once I die, I’m willing to donate my organs to someone who needs them. Why not? Lots of people need kidneys, livers, etc. When I’m dead, I sure won’t need mine. Still, there
