On Biden’s polls
There is polling that shows Biden’s approval rating low and dropping, but I’m not so sure it matters except in one sense: it may motivate the Democrats to make sure he doesn’t run in 2024. Then again, polls also show … Continue reading →
Hey, why not indict all the Republicans?
Except maybe those who voted for Trump’s impeachment. This grand jury in Fulton County probably would have done so, if asked: The grand jury wanted to charge 39 people allied with President Donald Trump. The list includes Sen. Lindsey Graham … Continue reading →

So-and-so never said such-and-such about this and that
I come across it constantly in comments and in blog posts on other sites: assertions that some politician, or every politician, in the Republican Party never spoke on a certain topic, never fought against a certain pernicious action of the … Continue reading →
Leftist business-as-usual: crying RACIST!

When is a view not a view?
When it’s counted on Twitter – that is, on X. Here’s the scoop: I've probably "viewed" Trump's interview a dozen times when I when to Tucker's profile page and it auto played or saw it playing in the feed and … Continue reading →
Trump’s mug shot and beyond

The Republican dilemma redux: Don Quixote versus Sancho Panza
