Biden’s self-centered nature on full display in Holt interview

President Joe Biden further patronized his supporters last night in an awkward interview with Lester Holt that featured hypocritical rhetoric and alienating answers. Most of the backlash from the interview stems from Biden’s Oval Office address on Sunday when he said that the country needs to “lower the temperature in our politics.” Biden, of course, […]

The RNC has a split-personality social message

The main stage of the Republican National Convention Monday featured an eclectic roster of speakers, but one speaker, Amber Rose, particularly brought out the party’s internal divisions on social issues. Rose is a model, rapper, and activist who has made a name for herself as a regular attendee of the so-called SlutWalk, where she has […]

The rise of the Silicon Valley right

On Monday, former President Donald Trump chose Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his vice presidential nominee. Vance was a protégé of Peter Thiel, a prominent Silicon Valley venture capitalist. His nomination to the Republican ticket is the latest sign of the rightward shift occurring among Silicon Valley’s elite. Silicon Valley has historically been to the […]

Biden should fire the Secret Service director, but he won’t

If Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle will not resign over former President Donald Trump nearly being assassinated at a rally, President Joe Biden should fire her. The fact that he won’t shows there are no consequences for failure in the Biden administration. Cheatle said after the attempt on Trump’s life that the security failure was […]

More echoes of history in Trump’s selection of Vance 

In former President Donald Trump’s choice of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his vice presidential candidate, I hear echoes of history. As others have pointed out, Vance’s selection makes little sense in the short term. He brings little experience in government — 18 months in the Senate — and was a desultory vote-getter in his […]

The Teamsters boss made an intriguing comment about corporate welfare

MILWAUKEE — Corporate welfare is a bipartisan practice in Washington and state capitals, but ideologically, most conservatives and some liberals consistently inveigh against it. The topic scrambles the simplistic categories used by the news media and even by many partisans and politicians. So it was fitting that Teamsters President Sean O’Brien, whose very presence at […]

Trump assassination attempt leaves Democratic Party splintered

After the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the Democratic Party is still more splintered than it has been in decades.

Biden calls for only one side to lower the temp

As is important to reiterate, President Joe Biden has never called for violence to be used against Donald Trump, nor did the incumbent president excuse or condone the assassination attempt that nearly murdered his 2024 challenger. Biden outright condemned the attack on Trump’s life during his Oval Office address on Sunday night, urging people to […]

Trump and the Vance calculation

TRUMP AND THE VANCE CALCULATION. Milwaukee — Former President Donald Trump once privately told associates that the problem he faced selecting a running mate was that the field of possible partners did not include a no-brainer — a candidate whose appeal was so strong, so obvious, and so broad that he or she would have […]
