Ding, dong the Dems’ Jack Smith debacle is dead

Trump’s finest moment: ‘Fight, fight, fight’
If stress reveals the true nature of an individual, Donald Trump is the unrivaled leader of the free world.

Biden’s Ukraine President Putin problem is America’s media problem
Ron Klain, former White House chief of staff, said of his ex-boss, Joe Biden, that the president will have a "better second debate" against Donald Trump.

Bold & Blunt: Furious Democrats target SCOTUS for take-down

Bold & Blunt: Ethical journalism? States propose tax dollars for media

God help America: Biden demands 8 o’clock bedtime
In a recent speech to Democrat governors reported by The New York Times, President Joe Biden said he needs to stop doing stuff after 8 p.m. because he has to get to bed earlier. Talk about a tip-off to the enemy. What a gift. Published July 5, 2024

AOC keys up next theatrical performance
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reacted to the U.S. Supreme Court's granting of partial immunity to Donald Trump with a vow to file articles of impeachment against the justices. Or one of the justices. Or somebody. Every time Ocasio-Cortez squawks, America gets just a little bit dumber. At least, the American left does. Published July 2, 2024
Biden is brain-dead. Democrats call that ‘framing & lighting’
As post-debate shockwaves continue to strike Democrat Party and donor circles, calls grow for the ailing, flailing, failing Joe Biden to step aside -- but he does still have some defenders. One, for example, suggests he was the victim of poor camera angles, and that's why he performed like an Alzheimer patient. Published July 1, 2024
SCOTUS, in Chevron, squashes Obama-like ‘pen’ and ‘phone’ presidencies
SCOTUS overturned a 40-year-old decision that had given federal agencies, and the presidents who led them, the power to exert oft-burdensome, costly controls on supposedly free American citizens, and that simultaneously tied the hands of courts to right these regulatory wrongs. Power back to the people. Published June 28, 2024
Joe Biden performed as expected

ISIS is in America because of Biden
President Biden has been lumbering about the White House for three-plus years, paying lip service to the need to control the border while all along opening doors wide for whomever, from wherever, with a mission of whatever, to cross and disappear.

Jamaal Bowman, a Democrat from New York seeking reelection to his congressional seat, told his Bronx-based constituents in a recent campaign rally, "We are going to show f------ AIPAC the power of the motherf------ South Bronx."
