We are witnessing the extraordinarily messy closing weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign. It’s not really Clinton versus Trump anymore. It’s the leftist media versus the Russians. Mind you, the Trump campaign isn’t colluding with the SVR and FSB. It goes without saying that the Clinton campaign and the likes of the Washington Post and […]

I guess I need to wade, ever so carefully, deeper into radioactive waters. To do so I need to return to yesterday’s essay wherein I opined that the Clintons had launched a morality-neutron warhead at Donald Trump. What did I mean by that? The neutron bomb, as some of you will recall, was a Reagan […]

On Friday the Clinton campaign launched a single nuke. The aim was to decapitate the Trump campaign, to personally destroy candidate Trump, and to send a message to any other outsider who might in the future even think about challenging the leftist status quo. Probably the weapon was released earlier than originally planned. It was […]

The October Surprises are coming, you know, fast and furious. The first shot came from the Democrats (naturally). The New York Times published an illegal release of Mr Trump’s 2001 state tax filings – or the first pages thereof. The documents show that he had declared a massive loss for that year. This is completely […]

Yesterday I mentioned that the goddess Gaia – she of global warming and climate change – was a part of the new official pantheon. Well, she’s been in the news of late. As I write this on Friday afternoon Hurricane Matthew is brushing the east coast of Florida, causing a great deal of excitement. Or, […]

About the Analogy As you know, I find historical analogies valuable. Most germane to our current times are the old Soviet Union, 16th and 17th century England, and – probably most telling – Rome in late republican and early imperial times. Maureen Mullarkey of the Federalist has addressed this subject. Here’s her going-in squib: We […]

The Trump campaign received a much-needed boost Tuesday night. Here’s a report from the American Spectator: “Did you work on that a long time?” That Reaganesque rejoinder from Mike Pence – one of many – effectively put Tim Kaine in his place during a debate that exposed the depths of the Hillary campaign’s demagogic cheapness. […]

Of the great Democrat entitlement programs, the most recent – Obamacare – is by far the least popular and has been by far the quickest to fail. I’ll start the tale with this from Powerline: In 2013, millions of Americans received notices informing them that their existing health insurance plan would disappear once Obamacare’s major […]

Is There Another Way? Maybe. Some of you know a great deal more about this subject that I do, but I’ll give it a try using this article from the American Thinker: Regardless of the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, our republic needs a powerful redress against the unconstitutional usurpation of power by the […]

About Inventors Why are most inventors men? That’s an interesting question. Here’s what PBS thinks the answer is: For 226 years men led the US Patent and Trademark Office, the agency that fosters American innovation and entrepreneurship. Enter Michelle Lee, the agency’s first female leader. Michelle Lee is not only the first woman to head […]
