If you’ve watched the Jesus Revolution film, you might remember my faded champagne Corsair, which I bought for $225. That price was about $225 above what I ought to have paid. It was a bit of a beater.It definitely didn’t have that “new car smell.”There’s nothing like that smell, right? Olfactory researchers — that’s a fancy word for “smell experts” — say the aroma of a new car is a combination of scents from new components, adhesives, sealants and finishes in a car. These combine to create what we think of as a “new car smell” and they degrade over...

While admitting on Monday that he could see the shutdown debate from both sides of the issue, Fox News contributor Dan Bongino said that it was a bit much to watch House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ride out the pandemic from her multi-million dollar mansion while denigrating those who are protesting the shutdown in Michigan, Ohio, and elsewhere. Bongino said that Pelosi, who is insulated from the economic effects of a prolonged shutdown, should have more compassion for those who are not. Bongino said he was taken aback by Pelosi’s recent interview with Chris Wallace, in which she was “seemingly confused...

  The tenth anniversary of 9/11 is upon us. Rather than ruminating on pious platitudes or reporting the trite remarks of gaseous politicians, I thought it might be appropriate to update some prior columns that attempt to shed light on the subject.

Righteous Anger: The only antidote for Conservative America By Joel Brewer joelbrewer@politicalusa.com 4/29/2002 Get Updates My friends, I am but a foot-soldier in the conservative army of America, still smarting from my first boot camp buzz-cut. At the age of 24, I have no political record, no campaign experience and certainly no vested interest in the political swamp of Washington. I’m a political rookie, pure and simple. Despite these shortcomings, I believe I have the cure for what ails the conservative movement in this country. It’s not popular. It’s not fashionable. It’s not an attractive option, either.
