Whatever happened to that old-fashioned word, “defeat”?
Now we have “extinguish”: Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo accused Trump of spreading “another lie” about Harris during an interview on MSNBC Tuesday. But what was really shocking was her chilling choice of words. “How did we get here?” Raimondo asked, … Continue reading →
Are these really pro-Kamala?
When I saw these two Kamala Harris ads/cartoons at RedState, I figured that surely they must be spoofs meant to diss Harris. Unquestionably. They are that terrible. But apparently they are really meant to boost Kamala Harris. Here’s the first … Continue reading →
Parody ad for Kamala Harris
This is very funny. But how could anyone think it was anything but a parody? Meanwhile, Newsom has signed a law to fight such ads. And that’s no joke: California has enacted some of the nation’s strictest measures to combat … Continue reading →
On “creating” stories: J. D. Vance

Has anyone else noticed that Biden looks kind of happy, now that he’s mostly-retired?
I think his smile here looks unusually genuine. And his banter sounds more on-point than is customary: Some people are interpreting this exchange as evidence he’s trying to sabotage Kamala Harris and boost Trump. I don’t think so. But I … Continue reading →
Fact-checking Kamala
The debate moderators last Tuesday left Candy Crowley circa 2012 behind in a cloud of dust in terms of strategic “fact-checking.” Crowley protected Obama in a 2012 debate against Mitt Romney by giving a dramatic and false “fact-check” (I wrote … Continue reading →
Celebrity endorsements: Taylor Swift
By now, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard that Taylor Swift has endorsed Kamala Harris for president (if you say “who’s Taylor Swift?”, then you probably have been living under a rock). This news underwhelms me, … Continue reading →
McCabe strikes again, says Trump is a Russian asset
McCabe is beating the same old drum: Andrew McCabe, the former FBI Deputy Director who Donald Trump fired in 2018, said on a podcast that the former president was a “de Facto Russian asset.” When Sir Richard Dearlove, a former … Continue reading →
