Something even stranger and more sinister than the Covid-19 virus is creeping across the USA: Joe Biden’s Flying Dutchman campaign which, like the ghost-ship of legend, plies the vasty electoral seas with a skeleton crew and no hope of ever landing. Late last week, the candidate blew into Yuma, AZ, for a rare, joint appearance with veep pardner Kamala Harris and, guess what, absolutely no civilians (i.e. voters) showed up at the event, though the local TV news had publicized it. Weird, a little bit? Face it: we’re living in the days of fantastic high-tech information mischief. Virtually all of...

Preaching to the choir is fun. It gets you a lot of “amens.” It makes a writer feel like they’re on to something when they write something their readers shower them with emails about how much they agree with them. It is also meaningless in the grand scheme of things. If all you do is tell people what they want to be true, you are doing them and whatever cause you care about a great disservice. Given their choice, my kids would eat only chocolate ice cream and macaroni and cheese. Getting three and two-year-olds to eat vegetables requires the...

BREAKING: White House doctor says President Trump “is no longer considered a transmission risk” for coronavirus

By some studies, the typical person utters 15,000 words per day: Women a bit more, apparently, and men a bit less. By that standard, President Trump probably speaks around 30,000 words on any given day. So, in one year he's uttering nearly 11 million words – a lot of fodder for Leftists to slice and dice and take out of context. It is not difficult to extract key phrases with which to create negative sound bites or to write defamatory newspaper and magazine articles. Certain parties on the Left, among them CNN and MSNBC, monitor right-wing talk shows, news outlets,...

Source: Official White House Photo by Joyce N. Boghosian Most voters only “know” President Trump through the lens of media coverage and public policy debates — but that doesn’t come close to capturing the true essence of a man who spends every hour of his working day fighting for the American people.  Whereas the president’s supporters tend to focus on defending him on substantive issues, such as making the case for his America First policy agenda, his critics gleefully assail him on a personal level, hoping to undercut the appeal of his message by demonizing the messenger. Throughout both the 2016...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is applying a new pretext to reach a pre-desired outcome of using the 25th Amendment to oust President Donald Trump from office in nearly the same fashion House Democrats did with the last impeachment.  Readers of “Abuse of Power: The Three-Year Campaign to Impeach Donald Trump” will find that just as Democrats began talking about impeachment in 2017 before settling on a reason in 2019, Democrats began talking about using the 25th Amendment in 2017 before coming up with a reason to do so today. Pelosi and Rep. James Raskin, D-Md., are introducing legislation to establish a...

CNN's Jonathan Reiner was back to playing criminal prosecutor on TV today -- even though he's actually a doctor. We caught him last week accusing President Trump of "negligent homicide." On this morning's New Day, Reiner's charge against the president was "criminal endangerment." But somehow it's outrageous that the president would want any doctor treating him to sign a non-disclosure agreement -- as if there weren't leftist networks and newspapers who would salivate at the chance to get nasty leaks. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Katie Hill is a 33-year-old Democrat who was elected to Congress in 2018, representing California’s 25th Congressional District. She resigned in disgrace less than a year later, in October 2019, after soft-core porn photos emerged showing Hill naked brushing the hair of her 24-year old female staffer Morgan Desjardins. (Other photos showed Hill in passionate embraces with Desjardins, and Hill naked with a bong and what looks like a Nazi-style Iron Cross tattoo strategically placed on her nether regions.) The story behind the photos was even more sordid. Desjardins was apparently in a “throuple” with Hill and her then-husband, Kenny...

FBI Director Christopher Wray has no plans to resign, a bureau official said, as President Donald Trump and his supporters step up demands for the release of sensitive files that they say will show “spying” on Trump’s 2016 campaign.Wray is here to stay, regradless of President Trump’s comments, FBI officials confirmed Wednesday morning.  Wray is serving a 10-year term that began in 2017 and doesn’t plan at this time to step down, according to the FBI official who spoke on condition of anonymity. However, Trump could fire him at any time and for any reason, as he did his predecessor,...

Trump has reduced the U.S. military footprint abroad, choosing to punch hard while pulling back. The Islamic State’s so-called caliphate in the Middle East has been destroyed. Syria and Iran are on notice. The two biggest terrorist leaders alive when Trump took office, the Islamic State’s Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani, are now dead. The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have recently signed major diplomatic agreements with Israel, a breakthrough engineered by the Trump administration and the first such pact between the Jewish state and its Arab neighbors in 25 years. The president has focused the...

Dust off the Daisy ad! Looks like the liberal media is launching an attack on President Trump similar to the one run against Barry Goldwater in 1964: that his control of the "nuclear codes" threatens the world! On today's Morning Joe, JoeScarborough was "seriously" suggesting that Trump's decision to suspend talks on a new stimulus package was "the steroids talking." It soon transitioned to Scarborough asking Kasie Hunt whether she's heard from Republicans worried about Trump, given the virus-treatment drugs he's been taking, and if they're "concerned about a president acting irrationally with the nuclear codes?" Get the rest of...

The genesis of the smear came from the then-presidential candidate herselfFor Hillary Clinton, inventing the lie was easy. Spreading the lie was even easier. For President Trump, uncovering the truth has been hard. The truth always has its enemies. This is the maxim – and chilling lesson – of the Russia hoax. Newly declassified handwritten notes authored by former CIA Director John Brennan show that on July 28, 2016, he briefed President Barack Obama on intelligence evidence that Clinton had approved a plan to vilify Trump with false accusations that he was colluding with Russia. She did it, the intel...

White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said Tuesday that the president was reporting no symptoms after returning home on Monday night after receiving treatment for the coronavirus.“This morning the President’s team of physicians met with him in the residence,” the memo from Conley read. “He had a restful first night at home, and today he reports no symptoms.”Conley said the president’s vital signs and physical exam remained stable, with an ambulatory oxygen saturation level between 95 and 97 percent.“Overall he continues to do extremely well,” Conley concluded. “I will provide updates as we know more.”The president returned home from Walter...

The news that President Trump has tested positive for WuFlu certainly reminds us racist-sexist-homophobe-white-supremacist-systemic-racists what is at stake in America. It is that, without President Trump, we non-wokies are naked before our enemies. Don’t leave us, Mr. President! Not yet! We need you! No doubt the president will make a swift recovery with the help of the knowledge that six months of the epidemic has given us. But it makes you think. What happens after Trump leaves? Will the Republican Party continue his populist nationalism? Or will it sink back into the Swamp? Will people that violate wokie norms be...

Facebook has deleted a post in which President Trump had claimed Covid-19 was "less lethal" than the flu. Mr Trump is at the White House after three days of hospital treatment having tested positive for the virus. He wrote the US had "learned to live with" flu season, "just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!" Twitter hid the same message behind a warning about "spreading misleading and potentially harmful information". Users have to click past the alert to read the tweet. "We remove incorrect information about the severity of Covid-19, and have...

My Democrat friends foisted this refrain upon me after I attended President Trump’s announcement of his health care plan in North Carolina. I posted about it on social media, along with the transcript of his speech and the outline of his plan. How could they claim he didn’t have a health care plan? It was there in writing. Apparently, that wasn’t enough, and it wouldn’t be until the government had more control. “It’s not a ‘plan’ because you can’t sign-up for it,” someone snidely retorted.I realized then we held two different views of what constitutes a health care plan—and what it means...

Source: Official White House Photo by Joyce N. BoghosianWith President Trump’s hospitalization and treatment for COVID-19, it’s time for a serious reality check. The President lives in a bubble. Everyone who gets close to him gets checked for the CCP virus. Test positive and you’re persona non grata. This presidential bubble is functionally similar to security precautions at maximum security prisons. They work hard to avoid ever allowing drugs or weapons to enter the facility. Yet drugs are pervasive and weapons aren’t uncommon. In short, such measures don’t work, and the President’s illness demonstrates that they don’t work for diseases, either....

In an old-movie reference that surely escaped many Americans, on CNN's New Day this morning co-host John Berman twice referred to President Trump's return to the White House yesterday as a Sunset Boulevard stunt. [snip] But it was in fact Berman who was playing the melodramatic role. At one point, as the show was rolling the clip of President Trump removing his mask on a White House balcony, Berman frantically ordered the producer: "Take if off! Please, don't even put it on the screen! Please take it off! Because that's going to kill people!"Get the rest of the story and...
