When it comes to idiocy, alexandria ocasio-cortez is so far ahead of the rest of the field I doubt they can even see her dust. Here is her latest example: an equation of the holding centers for illegal immigrants with concentration camps: “The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border. And that is exactly what they are. They are concentration...

Who could possibly turn a statement about the value of working together in a bipartisan way into a gaffe – a major one at that? The answer? Joe Biden. Excerpted from Katey Glueck’s article for the New York Times: Mr. Biden, speaking at a fund-raiser at the Carlyle Hotel in New York City on Tuesday night, stressed the need to “be able to reach consensus under our system,” and...
Today’s quote comes to us from MSNBC’s Kasey Hunt. Yesterday, before a commercial break, Ms. Hunt teased the next segment by telling viewers: “Still to come, Joe Biden references his relationships with two former Republican colleagues at an event in New York City. The only problem? They were both segregationists.” Well, that’s not the only problem, Ms. Hunt. The other...
Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is on the spot. President Trump negotiated a re-do of the NAFTA agreement – the one that has screwed the USA for the past 25 years. It is called USMCA (the United States Mexico Canada Agreement). Mexico is on board (its senate just voted 114-4 for passage). Canada’s Prime Minister Trudeau is fully supportive of the deal, and according to...
From Marina Pitofsky’s article at thehill.com: New York Times Publisher A.G. Sulzberger slammed President Trump for accusing his paper of committing “treason” in an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal late Wednesday. Sulzberger wrote that Trump’s attack crossed “a dangerous line” in his “campaign against a free and independent...

According to Nasser Karimi and Jon Gambrell’s article for the Associated Press: Iran’s Revolutionary Guard shot down a U.S. drone on Thursday amid heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington over its collapsing nuclear deal with world powers, American and Iranian officials said, while disputing the circumstances of the...
Discussing President Trump’s rally in Orlando, we have these nuggets from MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” show host, Joe Scarborough, and his chronic guest, John Heilemann Scarborough: “This is Elvis in ’77, just kind of lumbering across the stage, sweating.” Heilemann: “In Graceland, in front of like the six televisions, with a big, huge bottle of...
Last night President Trump made a 76 minute “campaign kickoff” speech to an SRO crowd in Orlando, Florida. He did it without benefit of notes or a teleprompter. There are 24 Democrat candidates – so far – and one two-time loser (once to Obama and once to Trump) who’d probably love another crack at it. My question: could any of them have made an extemporaneous 76...
I sometimes wonder if, somehow, President Trump slipped a mole into CNN headquarters, to plant “stories” that Trump could then call them out on. Case in point: This article, by CNN’s Kevin Liptak and Matthew Hoye, which begins as follows: President Donald Trump responded to a question about the Central Park Five during his appearance before reporters on Tuesday, once again...
Eric Swallwell is a Democrat house member from California. My impression of Rep. Swallwell is that he is an arrogant man, disdainful of people who disagree with his leftward stance on just about everything (if he has a position that is not to the left, I have yet to hear of it). Mr. Swallwell thinks this makes him presidential material. To that end, he is one of the 24 announced Democrat...

Mr. Brock, writing for thehill.com, has put together an excellent piece explaining the investigations Attorney General Barr is overseeing regarding possible impropriety/criminality during the...
Just how much criminality was involved in the attempt to prevent Hillary Clinton’s emails from being scrutinized? Here’s an answer for you, via the opening paragraphs of Gregg Re and Catherine Herridge’s article at foxnews.com: The State Department revealed Monday that it has identified “multiple security incidents” involving current or former employees’...
…before a capacity crowd (20,000 plus), with tons of people who couldn’t get in camped outside. How many of the 24 Democrat presidential hopefuls could have filled even a few sections of this arena? Does this tell you something? Should it? Your call.
Today’s quote comes to us from America’s single most prolific gaffe machine: Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden. Speaking before a “poor people’s summit” in Washington DC yesterday, Mr. Biden informed it, and us, of the following: “First thing I would do as president is eliminate the president’s tax cut.” That, no doubt, got a great reaction from...
Following are excerpts from Washington Post reporter Jennifer Oldham’s honest, and unsettling article about the effects of recreational (as opposed to medical) marijuana in the several states where has been legalized – especially on children: The first two states to legalize recreational marijuana are starting to grapple with teenagers’ growing use of highly potent pot, even as both...
