Just as Bari Weiss grasped the controls of…

Yo, Megan McArdle! Haven’t you heard? A deceitful inconsistency is the hobgoblin of very little minds! Very little minds like yours!
In a recent column, Some mortgage fraud is inevitable. But Lisa Cook needs to come clean., WashPost opinionator Megan McArdle had this to say about the recent uncovering of apparent “mortgage fraud” (a federal felony) on the part of Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserves Board of Governors, whom President Trump is currently…
Political Notes from All Over
Vive Le Résistance! But what is it? And where is it? And who is it? Good questions! Maybe too good! According to reports from, well, you know, “around”, many Democrats are licking their chops looking forward to the 2026 mid-term elections, anticipating another “Blue Wave” election, similar to the big win in 2006, which presaged…
Sit down by the waters of Washington and weep, for America has fallen The worst man in American history is the most powerful man in American history.
Unlike any other president in American history, Donald Trump faces both an utterly supine Congress and an utterly supine Supreme Court. Never before has either branch come close to defaulting so thoroughly in the performance of its constitutional duties as an independent branch of government as both have today. One would find more defiance—and more…
What is the sound of a spine dissolving? Whatever it is, the Supreme Court made it yesterday
Well, that didn’t last long. Just a couple of days ago, gullible me was believing that Federalist Society types like U.S. Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett were capable of more than just parroting whatever riff His Orangeness was demanding. Well, that was so 72 hours ago. Yesterday, the Supremes handed down…
The tragedy of war—one of them, at least: We have to hope that Trump and Netanyahu are “lucky”.
Let’s hope they didn’t start us down the road to World War III! Yes, we hapless Americans have to hope that our dictator in chief, in waging unconstitutional, illegal, immoral, unjustified war against Iran will not touch off a train of events similar to all the other “once and for all” Middle Eastern invasions engineered…
Yo Democratic mayors and governors! If you don’t put a stop to this, Donald Trump will do it for you!
If Gavin Newsom is the best the Democrats can do, Donald Trump is going to win in a walk, not to mention a golf cart. This photograph was appeared in an article in Newsweek, LA riots: How Mexican flag photos are a gift to Donald Trump by Dan Gooding, the photo (accompanied by another one…
Yo Andrew Sullivan! Ross Douthat is NOT “the best columnist in the country”.
Recently, Andew Sullivan did an interview at his substack blog The Weekly Dish with New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, praising Ross in the manner objected to above. One can wonder, a lot, if Andy’s words were nothing more than excessively good manners, in light of the most recent columns turned in by the two….
Beware of the Doge: Elon Musk’s excellent adventure was an exercise in waste, fraud, and abuse. And lies.
Well, Elon is gone, but the lies still linger. Big bad Elon was going to cut spending by $2 trillion, remember? Actually, for a brief, shining moment, the Musk Man was talking some sense about government spending, suggesting, for example, that, since were’ livin’ in the age of drones, we call a halt to the…
Does the New York Times LIKE making me unhappy? It sure seems that way! The Times tells us they HATE “disinformation”! So why do they insist on running so much of it?
A question to be asked. Last Sunday’s New York Times included a “Guest Essay” by Casey Michel, author of Foreign Agents: How American Lobbyists and Lawmakers Threaten Democracy Around the World, headlined Trump Isn’t the First Politician to Sell the Office, whose literal meaning is “Donald Trump isn’t first politician to be corrupt”. Well, yeah!…
