Hand Them Over Bernie Sanders began his week by floating one of those ideas that leftists swoon over: free child care and pre-K for all.

A few weeks ago, I devoted my column to an article about me published in Newsweek under the headline “Conservative Radio Host Ridicules Anne Frank.” As the full context of my comments in the video made clear, it was a lie. To its credit, after its editor was notified of this fact, Newsweek changed the

More than a year after Empire star Jussie Smollett perpetrated the hoax heard ’round the world, Chicago’s Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot finally accepted the obvious: he did the crime, he needs to do the time.

Dance for My Amusement, Little Commies The Democrats’ descent into leftist madness continued unabated over the weekend, with Bernie Sanders scoring a depressingly resounding victory in the Nevada caucuses on Saturday.

The latest entry in the exit sweepstakes is oil-rich but hard-done-by Alberta, a province which suffered under the National Energy Program introduced in 1980 by the current PM’s father Pierre Trudeau, and is currently struggling under a concerted left-wing campaign, sponsored by Green-progressivist foundations (American consortiums masking via proxies as Canadian coalitions), clueless Nobel laureates

“Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past,” wrote George Orwell in 1984, and CNN was taking notes. Tonight its “Race for the White House” series focuses on Jimmy Carter, who, CNN tells us, “didn’t look or act like a typical commander-in-chief, but he put his morals above politics.
There has been a lot of pearl clutching about Richard Grenell’s appointment as acting director of national intelligence (DNI). Evidently the appointment will be temporary; Grenell is staying as ambassador to Germany, and the White House is not going send his name to the Senate for confirmation as DNI. It’s reasonable to criticize that arrangement.

Early on, political consultant Mike Murphy labeled the debate “a six way tornado of long-repressed rage, fear and desperation.” For Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, and maybe even Joe Biden, the end is near. A lot of these candidates, who would be allies under different circumstances, now can … Read More
Every four years America doesn’t just elect a new president, they get reminded about how America is politically divided. We’re all familiar with those maps of the United States, divided by county, with large swathes of red counties, peppered with smaller specks of blue counties.

Many have noted the dilemma the socialists — er, I mean the Democrats — are in over the prospect of Sen. Bernie Sanders winning their nomination. If nominated, they’re running a socialist. If not, their base will be out of sorts. It’s time for a reckoning. The Democratic Party is going to have to be
Here is what Democratic candidate for president Michael Bloomberg said in 2016 at Oxford, in what he apparently offered up as an ad hoc history of labor, agriculture, and industry, leading up to his own sophisticated era, as reported in the New York Post: “I could teach anybody, even people in this room, no …
Political campaigns reasonably direct their attentions to segments of the population that are likely to support them.
