Incredibility Gap

Published July 16, 2017

Friday, July 14, 2017 Incredibility Gap We’re not delving deeply into the latest developments of this cockeyed non-story, but we just thought it was worth mentioning that Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian attorney with whom Donald Trump Jr. briefly met, must have been living in a Siberian cave for the last couple of decades if she […]

Media Fairness and Accountability Act of 2017

Published July 16, 2017

We are in the middle of a war being conducted by biased and abusive big-media outlets and waged against American values and ordinary Americans.

Published July 14, 2017

Eric C. Conn, the convicted ringleader of the biggest Social Security disability fraud in history, was supposed to be sentenced Friday. Instead he’s on the run, and the two whistleblowers who helped expose his scam say they fear for their safety. Conn cut his ankle bracelet in early June and has evaded the FBI ever […]

Fixing the trade deficit

Published July 14, 2017

President Trump is falling woefully short on his promise to fix the trade deficit. It’s on track to hit $570 billion this year – up from $505 billion in 2016. Apologists argue the trade gap permits Americans to purchase less expensive consumer goods, while critics blame it for job losses. Three things are certain – […]

GOP rallies behind idiotic bill

Published July 13, 2017

Republicans are about to do something very stupid. Using bribery, threats and cajolery, they intend to pass a catastrophically unpopular bill on a party-line vote. GOP: Obamacare is unpopular, so let’s pass a new health-care bill that’s even MORE unpopular. Normal Person: Why would you do that? GOP: No, you don’t understand. Obamacare is totally […]

Iraq and Kurdistan need to split

Published July 13, 2017

Iraqi security forces with the support of coalition forces are finally getting close to defeating ISIS in Iraq, which begs an important question: What comes next? More to the point, what governmental structure would best protect the many ethnic groups that live there? Part of the answer will be provided this year by a referendum […]

Repeal Obamacare & trust the free market

Published July 13, 2017

Can we be honest? The fight over the effort to repeal and replace Obamacare is about one thing and one thing only: the number of people who were given a freebee, added to the roles of Medicaid. Liberals want single-payer, government-run, one size-fits-all health care for everyone. It doesn’t work well anywhere in the world, […]

Donald Trump critics fancy themselves heroes

Published July 12, 2017

I have returned. From Europe, that is, and I hope I met with no Russian undercover agents while there. The soi-disant liberals are in a snit about the Russians.

H.R. McMaster’s ‘Dereliction of Duty’

Published July 12, 2017

ANALYSIS/OPINION: National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster is guilty of the same deceits, expediencies and tergiversations for which he sharply rebuked our military leadership during the Vietnam War in “Dereliction of Duty.” Mr. Master’s defection from his own gospel to the catechisms of the multi-trillion dollar military-industrial-counterterrorism complex was no aberration. John Kerry began his political […]

The Atlantic: All you need to know about the left

Published July 12, 2017

Last week, The Atlantic rendered a great service to those of us who contend that America is in the midst of a civil war between the right and the left. It provided a smoking gun – actually, the gunshot itself – to those of us who contend that the left (never to be confused with […]
