The Bolton Leak — So What?
As a matter of undeniable fact, Trump gave the money to Ukraine. He gave it within the time assigned to dispense it. He gave it even though Ukraine did not investigate the Biden Billion Bribery Buying Burisma. Ukraine did not even perceive that Trump had held up any money until Politico wrote it a month later. What’s the problem?
And Now a Novel Theory: Truth as a Defense
After three years of Democrat phony accusations and hoax investigations by them and their Corrupt Journalist Corps into every imaginable lie and rabbit hole, followed by half a year of Pelosi–Schiff–Nadler lies over the Ukraine phone call, the moment finally came for one rare week to unfold in Washington when, like it or not, the argument for President Trump finally gets to be heard through the interference by the corrupt media.
On Gilded Pens and Gilded Royal Idlers
We now know why Nancy Pelosi delayed submitting the articles of her Stillborn Impeachment. Her delay, her obstruction of Congress, her abuse of power, had not made much sense. But then we divined that she simply was waiting for the shipment of her commemorative pens.
The Impeachment that Threatens America
One might have imagined that, with so much of world history behind us, we would have learned better than to search for an excuse to charge or convict another person. You would think that this was obvious. Put “charging political adversaries with imagined crimes” on a Jeopardy! board, and the question is: “What were the Stalin Show Trials?”
AOC: All One Candidate
Perhaps the most harmful political person in the United States today is Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, a product of our own neighborhood right here in Queens.
The Pelosi Stillborn Impeachment
In the end, the only people who abused power during the Silly Season of Ukraine were Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi. And once the House passed the Stillborn Impeachment, it devolved on Pelosi to submit it to the Senate for a quick and merciful funeral and interment. But she would not do it, obstructing the unilateral will of the Democrat House and obstructing the work of the Senate.
What If America Were to Take Out Iran’s Main Oil Refineries as the Mullahs Run Out of Moolah?
I am unalterably opposed to sending American servicemen and women into another intractable foreign adventure. I oppose American adventurism and regime change from outside. If people in an oppressed country are not prepared to overthrow their Pharaohs, we Americans have no business doing it for them.
What Obama Judges? Oh, THOSE Obama Judges! (Part Two)
How the Obama–Clinton judges have allowed themselves to be parties to the corruption and perversion of America’s justice system.
To Stop Hateful Attacks On Jews, Oppose The Ideology Behind Them
The march was not merely useless, but from my perspective it was actually counterproductive; it provided cover for those spreading bigotry to proclaim, “look, we love Jews!”
The Trump Doctrine: On Zig-Zagging, Keeping Hands Off Our People, and America First
A key criticism has been that the president has no discernible foreign policy, that he just has no idea what he is doing, why, or what the consequences will be. For three years we have heard from the same crevices the same exact criticism of his approach to the economy. His approach to energy expansion. His approach to trade with China. His approach to NATO. His approach to illegal immigration.
