So the Special Counsel's report is out. The aspects that jump out to me: - This President can no longer act willfully?!? - 1.  He will n...

1.  Overshooting the Mark OK, now look. I know that there are plenty of very smart people on the Left. I generally respect them greatly. And...

I'm so confused. And I think my confusion may well become a running theme here going forward. The duplicity is just so stunning.  - So n...

I remember that 2016 Election Day moment in time (I believe it was when Wisconsin was called) where, in a Wag the Dog numerical sense, the m...

In that I'm a New Yorker, I'm asked every now and then how I can possibly continue to support our President. Hmm, lemme see. Boomi...

Several linguistic/logical exercises for you. First, on The Wall. I'd like to ask a question. Now the question is a pure hypothetical,...

I guess it's a familiar refrain for me, but - are we kidding?!?  So we're now poised to lose as a State Department nominee one of th...

OK, listen, here it is - you lost. ‎ Let's go through some of this - - Pruitt for EPA.  He feels that the EPA has overreached.  S‎hock...

When Trump first announced, I thought it was a joke. In fact, that's what I told my teenage son, when he asked me. Trump had tried to ru...

Not literally 100% over just yet, but I have three quick thoughts: 1.  Wow. 2.  He only had one set of people on his side.  Only one.  T...

So it turns out that The Real Deplorables are at the DNC, at the DOJ and inside the Clinton campaign‎?!?  Really?  Wow.  Once again - who...

Hillary did a really nice job in the Hofstra debate - maybe better than that.  Good for her.   ‎ ‎ And while I'm not suggesting tha...

People have correctly noted how there are ebbs and flows in elections, and, indeed, no one has shown that more than Donald Trump in this ver...

I don't know about y'all, but I'm actually surprised at the extent to which the run-up to this debate has actually been on the h...

It is sometimes so painful to watch the media unable or at least unwilling to report things as they are, when those things don't align w...

So Hillary Clinton gets sick and goes home from a solemn and extremely significant 9/11 event.  And those who wonder aloud about her health ...

OK, so we now have two insults staring the non-left American electorate in the face.  Let's deconstruct them both in four or less senten...

The demagoguery keeps coming. Now the idea is that, if Donald Trump levered any particular thing of which he is against, that is somehow  in...

Let's see.  I steal from someone.  And then someone records me doing so.  And then I get caught.  So now, rather than focusing on my cri...

OK, people, enough about the bankruptcy thing.  What silliness.  What ignorance.  What  demagoguery. So here's the way it works.  Yo...

There's a risky haughtiness to the notion of looking down on a campaign that goes down a distinctly entertainment-type path, as it appea...

Having previously shot out a quick hitter on the Trump Cabinet , I wanted to get down just a quick thought or two on the VP issue. Thoug...

Well, yet another chapter of the "Are You Kidding Me" book is apparently in the drafting stage.  Mitt Romney and a bunch of other ...

OK, so now I'm officially confused.  Here's the flow: - The liberal media historically dislikes - or maybe despises - fringe conse...

Not enough people are paying attention to the question of, "What's the path?"  While we can all root for Person X or Person Y,...

I'll take my shot at some Cabinet-type folks for The Donald's team: VP - ?????? Chief of Staff - Ivanka (haha - nobody seemed to ...
