The Daily Mail published an exclusive story today which is based on an interview with someone who was invited to Jeffrey Epstein’s New Mexico ranch as a security consultant/contractor. The caveat here is that security expert Jared Kellogg never met Epstein only the ranch manager. Also, he never saw the Clintons at his ranch. In

The chatterati on Twitter were shocked by this answer but I don’t know why. How often does he cheerlead popular uprisings against illiberal authoritarian regimes? Asked if the U.S. supports Iranian protesters, Pres. Trump says, “I don’t want to comment on that, but the answer’s no. But I don’t want to comment on that.” https://t.co/JsAo4rBy2e

Lotta chatter online today about the problematic problematic-ness of this one. I confess, I find it weird too. Watch — twice if necessary, to really get the feel — then we’ll discuss. [embedded content] The first reaction everyone has is “Why is this guy buying his gorgeous, rail-thin wife an exercise bike for Christmas? Does

As with all Evergreen news, this comes from Benjamin Boyce who has been following this for several weeks. Instead of having the Day of Absence this year, the school instead held an “Equity Symposium.” The keynote speaker at this symposium was a woman named Nikkita Oliver. Boyce describes her presentation as “a church service” for

“My goal is to get elected and then abolish the unfair corrupt system that elected me,” says Stephen “redsteeze” Miller, paraphrasing her here. My goal is to get elected—but I plan to be the last American president to be elected by the Electoral College. I want my second term to be elected by direct vote.

President Donald Trump will take a trip to Great Britain for a NATO summit this week and pretty much everyone expects him to comment on the upcoming election. This despite a request from Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Friday to demure. “What we don’t do traditionally as loving allies and friends, what we don’t do

It’s not going to happen this election cycle, however, there is speculation California Congressman Adam Schiff is looking towards higher office. The only question is how high. A new report from The Hill suggests Schiff has his eyes on either the Senate or a future residency in the White House. Some Democrats see him as

President Trump hosted a college champions event at the White House recently. It was a multi-team celebration that didn’t get much fanfare, probably due to the non-stop cable news coverage of Impeachmentpalooza. Invitations were extended to 22 championship teams or athletes. One college baseball team declined the invitation. That team’s absence was quickly rectified by

The NY Times’ 1619 Project was a sprawling effort earlier this year to convince Americans that slavery was part of the DNA of America. Made up of various pieces by different authors, the 1619 Project seemed to promote an idea that matched current far left sentiment about the importance of identity with an underlying anti-capitalism.

It’s happened again. A Starbucks barista labeled a coffee cup in a derogatory way. This time the customer was a policeman in Keifer, Oklahoma. Kiefer Police Chief Johnny O’Mara quickly responded on behalf of his police officer and, as these incidents do, it went viral. It happened on Thanksgiving Day. A police officer was performing

Some good, but still sobering news comes to us from the Philadelphia office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). First the good news. They just arrested Hector Moran-Espinoza, an illegal alien from Guatemala who was wanted on a laundry list of charges, primarily having to do with sexual assaults on minors and trafficking in child

As everyone else is enjoying Thanksgiving leftovers and looking for some good deals during Black Friday sales, the work of the climate alarmists doesn’t take a break. This week’s protest on the steps of Capitol Hill included actor Paul Scheer (Black Monday, The League, Veep) and the child (age 11) star of CBS’s Young Sheldon,

Just a question I’ve been thinking about today in light of two NYT stories that are closely related even though the authors of the two pieces don’t seem to realize it. One is about Lindsey Graham bowing to heavy pressure from Trump and his fans in right-wing media to finally use his power as Judiciary

The Republican majority in the U.S. Senate is successfully filling judicial vacancies with conservative judges. The Democrats are not happy about that, especially the liberals associated with Demand Justice. That group has launched a social media campaign against the Federalist Society to discourage Democrat senators from voting for President Trump’s nominees. Demand Justice is a

A good show by the president, and not the first time he’s done this on (or near) a holiday. He and Melania made it to Iraq the day after Christmas last year to say hello and defend his decision to withdraw American troops from Syria. This appearance delivered some news too when Trump claimed that

In the spirit of the season, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) turned a silly prank into a goodwill gesture for the needy. Earlier this month, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) left boxes at the door of several Democrat congressional offices on Capitol Hill. The joke was to call attention to the fact that

Let’s be honest – when we think of Thanksgiving it’s all about the food. There’s some good news this year. The price of turkey is down. The average cost of the whole meal is up by one cent. Each year, since 1986, the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) has conducted a survey of typical food

Gordon Sondland has been one of the key figures to testify in the impeachment hearings. His appearance before Congress last week was lauded on the left as “impeachment testimony for the ages,” though his testimony hasn’t swayed public support for impeach very much. Today, ProPublica published a story which is likely to make Sondland regret his

Michael Flynn was set to be sentenced next month for lying to the FBI but today the judge in the case decided to postpone the sentencing until after the release of the DOJ Inspector General’s report on the Russia investigation. The DOJ and Flynn attorneys cited media reports about the timing of the IG report’s

A potential disaster for everyone involved could happen tomorrow in Hong Kong where police are preparing to enter a university and arrest anti-government protesters. The two sides have been at a standoff for almost two weeks after the demonstrators set up shop inside Polytechnic University. Hong Kong Free Press reports HKPD officers are done playing

Literally no one believes this. Even MAGA commentators who have to pretend to believe it will do so only half-heartedly, given how preposterous it is. But I suppose Trump has no choice except to make this the party line since admitting that he was in fact directing Giuliani carries all sorts of risk, especially now

Protesters tried to take a page from the Occupy playbook in the city of Oakland this week, but the “Housing Justice Village” they set up in a park adjacent to City Hall only lasted a few hours. Police began warning the activists shortly after they set up their tents and most of them agreed to

A new study by the New York Federal Reserve Bank suggests Americans are paying for the tariffs on Chinese imports, instead of the Chinese. The announcement isn’t surprising for any free trade advocates who lobbied against the White House’s plan to raise tariffs, however, it’s quite striking at how poorly tariffs are working. The NY

When I first saw this story, I had to re-read the headline to make sure I read it correctly. A major news outlet’s editor-in-chief sent out a memo stating that there would be no investigations into 2020 Democrat presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg or any of his fellow Democrat competitors. Candidate Trump, however, is a different

He’s 99 percent right and I said so on Saturday in writing about Biden’s whiny critique of him. Of all the shots Grandpa Joe could take at Graham, complaining that he’s a bad friend because he won’t conclusively presume his and Hunter’s innocence in the Burisma matter is among the lamest. Even in the context

Joe Biden may be putting the cart a bit ahead of the horse here, but he fielded a question during a town hall on Friday night as to who he might choose as his running mate. The veepstakes issue is always a touchy subject for any of the frontrunners, so Uncle Joe didn’t list anyone

We may have to wait a bit for another edition of Ukraine Theatre on Capitol Hill. California Congressman Adam Schiff told CNN’s State of the Union this morning he saw no reason to call in more witnesses to publicly testify before the House Intelligence Committee on any possible quid quo pro involving President Donald Trump

While there are obviously some people who think that House Democrats will fail in their efforts to schedule a vote on impeachment, the smart money seems to be on the idea that they’ve got the votes and will go ahead and impeach Donald Trump. So how is the President feeling about all of this? I

There’s no mystery as to how the impeachment process will end for Trump but there is a mystery as to how it’ll end for Adam Schiff. Namely, what is this guy going to do with himself on Sunday mornings when there’s no longer a reason to put him on TV? He’ll worry about that problem

It’s not hard to see how Ta-Nehisi Coates latest opinion piece for the NY Times came to be. Cancel culture is a hot topic, detested by the right and often defended by the left. Plus, Colin Kaepernick is briefly a hot topic again after his recent, disastrous try-out for the NFL. I’m sure when Coates
