RIP, Steven Hayes. You've been constantly wrong about Trump. Take your cruises and shove it.

God bless America.
W-I-N-N-I-N-G !!
Better late than never. As far as I’m concerned, that pro-establishment, faux-conservative rag should have died on the bud 23 years ago.
YES!!!! Now lil Billie Mouth Breather can become the Democrat he always wanted to be. Maybe run for office somewhere as a Democrat. Bye bye quislings.
My understanding is that the Weekly Standard, like National Review, and like nearly all political magazines, never made money.
It has always had the backing of a financial white knight.
The current white knight, Philip Anschutz, who also owns the various Examiner publications, has decided he wants to “upgrade” the Washington Examiner, making a print edition more widely available, by subscription. The rumor is that Standard subscribers will have their subscriptions filled with copies of the Examiner.
By killing off the Standard, the Examiner will get the one thing of value: the Standard’s subscription rolls.
By refusing to sell the Standard or its name, Anschutz assures that no namesake competitor will arise for the affections of the subscribers.
It is said that what did in the Standard was not Bill Kristol’s neoconservative views, nor his anti-Trumpism, but rather, his gross incompetence managing the business. His departure as editor-in-chief in 2016 wasn’t about partisan politics, or Trump. It was instigated by an internal coup to try to save a publication being utterly strangled by an idiot manager.
I wonder how Charlie Sykes is feeling today. Left his very cushy gig here in talk radio in Milwaukee to join Kristol and Hayes at the bastion of bashing Trump.
These guys will now proceed to try and cut each others throat for the scraps of TV time CNN or MSNBC will throw to the winner...
Gee, best Christmas present ever.
Must admit watching these elitist DC douche-holes go “kerplunk” is one of the most satisfying new items in quite some time.
Mr. Hayes etc. were lost in the labyrinth of a rapidly radicalized neo-Marxist, anti-Constitutional America....as you would expect, The Weekly Standard has suffered internal hemorrhaging.
Oh well. The globalist will always have China.
Thanks goes out to Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes.
Bye!
Mark Levin was a lot smarter than these guys, Mark buried his visceral hatred of Donald Trump deep enough that it burns through and comes out only from time to time.
BOL!
Hahaha. Merry Christmas! MAGA!

The Weekly Standard magazine that espouses traditional conservatism which we enjoyed reading for years until the W.S. began to noticeably change into a narrow elitist view....i.e., the 'commoners' and their choice of President Trump, were no longer relevant; the Weekly Standard had joined ranks with Socialist Academia and the politically Socialist rather than our Constitutional form of government.
