It was the perfect opening. Politically, it was the equivalent of grilling a big, fat, juicy steak in the middle of the African savannah — and then being mystified by the sudden appearance of drooling predators.

The Obama-Biden cabal has left the building, Pelosi has health issues, and Schumer is struggling to stave off a rebellion. It’s complete and utter chaos. Enter the Donkey version of Loki, the...

This morning, I watched a video of Jeffrey Sachs explaining the facts of life to the EU regarding Ukraine. His speech echoed the sentiments I have been writing about here for a long time now.
