It was a good first night at the Republican National Convention. Republicans highlighted Trump’s record, contrasted it with Biden’s, and pushed back at charges of racism. The major themes of the night were: Highlight the successes, particularly the economic and foreign policy successes of the Trump administration, prior to the

Scott Adams calls out Joe Biden for playing the race card with the “fine people” hoax. On Aug. 20, Joe Biden gave a short acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination. So low were expectations that when Biden managed to get through the speech without drooling on himself or forgetting where

There are several fascinating videos out there, so I thought I’d dedicate this post to them, along with a little moralizing of my own. First, Trump handles with incredible grace a question that only a hack pretending to be a reporter would ever ask: These Trump press conferences produce material

William Saletan of Slate has written a masterpiece of fake news with his claim that President Trump caused all of the Covid-19 deaths in the U.S. The progressive leftists are all a’ twitter, so to speak. At Slate, William Saletan has composed an epic rant, writing a ponderous near 6.000

One of my favorite scenes in any movie is out of the 1947 “Miracle on 34th Street.” It is when Santa has finally had his fill of the pretentious hack, Dr. Sawyer, and he refuses to let Sawyer continue to abuse a young, impressionable man without consequence. Santa announces “There

Mark Levin conducted a wide-ranging interview of AG Bill Barr that aired Sunday night. Barr is perceptive, honest, plain-spoken, and uncowed by the progressive morass he is battling. The interview, embedded below, is enlightening. Part I — America has fundamentally changed in the past 30 years as radicals have withdrawn

There are silver linings to Wuhan virus madness. The past seven months have brought a great deal of useful clarity that we should celebrate. The other day, I wrote about the fact that Trump’s candidacy promises a return to normalcy. Under the slogan Make America Normal Again, we could have

The progressives’ end game is to remake America and they will not tolerate losing the Presidency in November. Win or lose, a civil war of sorts is in the offing. The only question is when? There are two Americas today, and the divide is demonstrated perfectly in this short video:

George Soros is an evil, atheist megalomaniac, but leftists are accusing those on the right of anti-Semitism if they criticize his toxic, malign influence. Billionaire George Soros is a text-book megalomaniac. To quote from a 2017 post in Chronicles: “It is a sort of a disease when you consider yourself some

Heather MacDonald is perhaps America’s preeminent scholar on matters of crime and race in America. Powerline’s John Hinderaker sponsored a live-stream presentation by Ms. MacDonald on 30 July in which she addressed the reality of crime in the U.S. and the lies on which the Black Lives Matter movement is

There are currently two conflicting visions of America and our powerful institutions are trying to make the dystopian version a reality. We had a delightful thunderstorm move through here today, bringing with it huge flashes of lightning and thunder that shook the house. The only problem was that it knocked

America no longer constrains the powerful from indulging in their lust for control or their desire for perversion, putting us in great danger. I like listening to Andrew Klavan’s podcasts when I walk my dog. Instead of merely rehashing news stories, he offers a philosophical perspective informed by his journey
