Trump gives Noem the Waltz treatment

President Donald Trump’s demotion of Kristi Noem smells a lot like his decision to can Mike Waltz. Poor optics was the driving factor in both cases, but MAGA loyalty appears to be their saving grace.

James Talarico is the Mamdani of Texas

With Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) getting edged out by state Rep. James Talarico, the state of Texas is far from safe for Republicans.

Why would the US or Israel trust Mark Carney’s Canada?

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is complaining about being left out of the loop about the strikes against Iran. Perhaps if he weren’t so busy buddying up to enemies of the United States and the West, this would not be a problem. “The United States and Israel have acted without engaging the United Nations or […]

TRUMP, IRAN, AND THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS. Last Dec. 9, this newsletter discussed the feeling, growing at the time, that President Donald Trump had not devoted attention to the economy, especially the cost of living.
