Robert Mueller, Superstar

The media’s assessment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s July 24 testimony about Russiagate on Capitol Hill changed considerably within 48 hours of its aftermath. News outlets and pundits hostile to President Donald Trump (are there any other kind?) initially described his out-of-touch, uniformed presentation as a disaster. It was a disaster for those beating the impeachment drum, anyway. read more

Is China Meddling in U.S. Elections?

With all the focus among the media and political class on Russian interference in the U.S. electoral process, are these “watchdogs” ignoring China’s ambitions with their witch hunt obsession? China continues to rapidly expand its powerful economic, political, and military tentacles all over the world. read more

Never Trumpers Look to 2020 for Salvation

With sometimes impulsive, inflammatory tweets that create needless feuds (and inevitable accusations of all the “isms”) plus the resulting negativity in media and political precincts, President Donald Trump often obscures the actual accomplishments of his administration so far and needlessly elevates several of his foes. read more

Mueller Time Dehydrates Impeachment Advocates

By virtually all accounts, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the “author” of the Mueller Report, came across like a uniformed, absentee landlord in his Capitol Hill testimony on Wednesday about alleged Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 presidential election.

It’s difficult to believe that U.S. President Donald Trump was playing 3D chess when he tweeted out last Sunday that several radical, first-term Democrat Congresswomen (now known as the Squad) should go back to their home countries. The POTUS apparently forgot that when your opponents are fighting among themselves, you should get out of the way. read more

Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party Move Forward with Domestic Agenda

While the U.S. is celebrating Independence Day July 4, the U.K. is still trying to resolve the impasse over its independence from the European Union. The British public voted for Brexit about three years ago, but parliament has yet been unable to find its way out. In the meantime, the upstart, Nigel Farage-led Brexit Party, which won big in the May EU parliamentary elections and wants to and appears to be a player domestically, has unveiled its “big vision” for the country. read more

Most of America who were watching TV during the last two nights were probably watching something else. For those who were tuned in to politics, do you think President Trump lost any votes because of the virtue-signaling pander fest otherwise known as the Democratic Debates? read more

Ilhan Omar and ‘Lingering Questions’

Congresswoman Ihan Omar is getting some bad press in the Star Tribune, her hometown newspaper. Championing her candidacy in 2018, that publication, among many virtue-signaling mainstream news outlets, chose to ignore the solid work of investigate journalists and “conservative bloggers.” The Rep. Omar situation one again is another example of a quote attributed to playwright/filmmaker David Mamet who apparently opined that “In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments modern liberals have to pretend not to know things…” read more
