If money wins elections, Democrats might face a wipeout in 2020. The RNC broke fundraising records for the third month in a row, Bloomberg and others reported overnight, more than doubling the Democrats’ best showing this year. They are also adding cash to their coffers, an advantage that might — might — be more indicative of

Just when you think you’ve seen everything, former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer dons a flouncy, lime-green-over-white outfit and makes his debut on Dancing with the Stars. Spicer’s garb made former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay’s candy-striped shirt and red pants on the same show in 2009 look like an R.O.T.C uniform. Just when

What kind of promise could Donald Trump have made to a “foreign leader” that would prompt a whistleblower complaint by an intelligence official to an inspector general? Did Trump promise to swap California for Greenland? Or did he promise that he would have more flexibility after the next election when talking with you-know-who? The mind boggles,

My brother, Kirk Randolph Elder, died suddenly and unexpectedly, 16 days before his 70th birthday. He and Tresta, his wife of 41 years, had planned a trip to Hawaii, where they were going to celebrate Kirk’s birthday. Kirk was a retired supervisor at an oil refinery, and we were extremely close. He started coming on
Regrets… she might have a few. Georgia Clark is – or rather, was – an English teacher in the Fort Worth School District in Texas. Unfortunately for her, the school board has voted unanimously to fire her from her job. Strangely enough, this was the second time they had voted to fire her, but the
Warren Buffett, currently the third-richest person on Earth, has pledged to donate over 99% of his fortune to charity. The Berkshire Hathaway chairman and largest shareholder appears to be making good on that promise. As an example, last year Buffett donated $169 million to the NoVo Foundation, a charity run by his youngest son, Peter, and Peter’s
Mike Pompeo can cancel the order of additional letterhead. Donald Trump has chosen to promote from within for his new national security adviser and to let Pompeo run things from his perch at State. Trump made the announcement on Twitter, natch: I am pleased to announce that I will name Robert C. O’Brien, currently serving
“A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, reverent” … and a relic of history. This weekend, my wife and I purchased Boy Scout popcorn outside a local Safeway. We were glad to contribute to a tradition in both our families: I had sold the popcorn, and so had
I rarely watch cable news anymore. It’s all hysteria, all the time. CNN: “We are destroying the planet.” MSNBC: “The middle class is disappearing!” President Donald Trump says drug trafficking “is worse than ever!” I’m glad my favorite magazine, Reason, cuts through the gloom and tells us the truth: There is less war and more
Just how far does executive privilege stretch? The Trump administration plans to test it until it shreds, apparently. After the House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed several people in Donald Trump’s inner circle, White House counsel Pat Cipollone informed chair Jerrold Nadler that the administration would invoke privilege to prevent at least some of their testimony. That
A heckler is commonly defined as someone who “interrupts a performer or public speaker with derisive or aggressive comments or abuse.” It’s been six months since the heckling stopped. Six months since the last White House press briefing. Six months devoid of noxious nonsense. The national media think they’re in some kind of priesthood. Their
MONACA, Pennsylvania — All Darrin Kelly wanted for the energy workers in Western Pennsylvania was that the Democratic presidential hopefuls would talk to them before going to war against shale. That opportunity slipped away last Friday when Elizabeth Warren joined Bernie Sanders in calling for a total fracking ban. “On my first day as president,
The last debate among 10 Democrats seeking their party’s nomination for president set a new low for demagoguery, contempt for America and just plain foolishness. Here are some examples: Andrew Yang: “In America today, everything revolves around the almighty dollar — our schools, our hospitals, our media, even our government.” It is difficult to imagine
We get two pieces of news for the price of one from a single sentence of Jerrold Nadler’s interview with WNYC’s Brian Lehrer. First, the House Judiciary chair makes it crystal clear that he intends to impeach Donald Trump. Second, Nadler clearly wants to stay out of any calls to impeach Brett Kavanaugh, despite the
One of the longstanding truisms in presidential election politics is that the state of Florida is prioritized as a must-win for both the Republican and Democratic parties. It was the setting for one of the most surreal moments in the history of America, when the highly controversial 2000 presidential election between Texas Governor George W.
Planned Parenthood is out with a new teen sex “education” book. Titled In Case You’re Curious, the book monetizes questions Planned Parenthood says teens have asked it over the years by compiling those questions, along with Planned Parenthood’s answers, in one book. A Kindle or paperback copy will cost you $16.95, perhaps an indication that
Hollywood star and world-famous comedian Tim Allen explained to Sean Hannity tonight how he compares to Mike Baxter, his conservative character on the hit show “Last Man Standing.”
Here we find an unusual instance of someone calling for everyone to stop calling President Trump a racist. Well, that’s not unusual in and of itself. Trump’s supporters do that on a daily basis. But what makes this particular incident fall well off the top of the bell curve is that the person saying it
Remember when Google’s motto was, “Don’t be evil”? That single three-word phrase prefaced the company’s entire code of conduct for 17 years. It was a model for their employees’ behavior and a simple summation of the company’s philosophical outlook. But in 2018, Google surreptitiously removed the clause from all company documents. Google doesn’t use that motto anymore,
I wish I’d taken a picture. I’d turned off North Lamar and was driving north on the 183 service road. It has just rained, which makes Austin traffic even more ridiculous than usual. The rumor of rain will extend your commute by 15 minutes. An actual drop, half an hour. We’d had a quick storm,
On the eighteenth anniversary of al-Qaeda’s attack on New York and Washington DC, Nicholas Haros did something. He stood up at the commemoration of the nearly 3,000 dead from radical Islamist terrorism and explained very carefully to Rep. Ilhan Omar what “some people did” on 9/11. It’s tough to top Haros’ succinct and direct response
No one saw it coming when, on July 9, 2018, President Donald J. Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to succeed Justice Anthony Kennedy on the United States Supreme Court. The Democrats and their media and left-wing activist allies would surely oppose Kavanaugh; the question was on what grounds. He had a spotless record. Kavanaugh’s former classmates at

As Democrats on stage at the presidential debate took their shots at Donald Trump’s trade strategy with China, it looks as though it has begun producing some results. In a surprise move, Beijing announced that it would roll back tariffs on key agricultural products ahead of next week’s initial trade talks. China had targeted pork
In all of the decades that the modern version of the contentious debate in America over guns, freedom, and the Second Amendment has been going on, the gun control advocates have repeatedly assured gun owners of one thing: they don’t want to take our guns away from us. My, what a difference one presidential primary
As has been discussed here on multiple occasions, the state of California is in the midst of an epic homelessness crisis. This is particularly true in the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas, but it’s gotten bad in other coastal cities as well. There’s been plenty of discussion and media coverage of this debacle, but
Perhaps Mayor Pete Buttigieg would have a better shot at appealing to Christian voters if he would not go to such extreme lengths to contort Scripture to rationalize his party’s abominable stance on abortion. The Democratic presidential candidate openly expresses his Christian faith and was the first candidate to hire a national faith outreach director.
In an exclusive report Monday night, Tucker Carlson said that a newly revealed email from inside Google shows the tech giant was biased for Hillary Clinton and against Donald Trump during the 2016 election.
