Tired of all this #WINNING yet? Yeah, neither am I. – Ho-hum. You know what’s coming, don’t you? That’s right: The Dow Jones Industrial average and the S&P 500 closed yet again at all-time record highs on Wednesday. Morning trading was way up as investors began to realize the clownish House Democrats were going down in flames one more time in their latest attempt to frame President Donald Trump, but then pulled back somewhat in the afternoon when news came that US and Chinese representatives had hit a snag in their trade negotiations. Speaking of the Schiff/Pelosi/Media impeachment circus, we...

Wednesday may have been the worst day the Democrat Party has had during the Trump presidency. – Just as it appeared to some that the Deep State Dems might be gaining a little traction in their neverending coup d’etat, they suffered a series a series of self-inflicted wounds and bombs lobbed by the President into their midst that had them scrambling to pretend they’re actually going to work on real legislation by the end of the day. That pretense is just that, of course, as the Democrat Party has totally sacrificed itself at the altar of its ultra-radical social media...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) So, James Comey walks free, for now. – That was the big uproar on Thursday, and my only question is why did the media and politicians treat it as if was some sort of news? We have known for three solid weeks now that the Department of Justice had decided not to prosecute the nation’s most prominent Teenage Drama Queen for his rampant internal malfeasance. So, why was everyone tossing such a fit about it? Assuming William Barr and U.S. Attorney John Durham really are performing an investigation into the origins of...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Apology accepted, you giant a**hole! – Desperate times call for desperate measures, as they say, and no Democrat candidates are more desperate these days than Eric “Otter” Swalwell and Irish Bob “Beto” O’Rourke. This week, both campaigns decided it would be best for their failing candidates to apologize for being exactly who they are. So, Swalwell went out on Monday and, in on of the most stilted, palpably insincere moments of 2019, made a video in which he apologized to a woman for being a white man, saying “I may be another...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) When real news intrudes on DC Kabuki Theater. – While most of the fake news media is focused on the back-and-forth childish insults between President Trump and San Fran Nan, actual important stuff just keeps happening. British Prime Minister Theresa May resigned overnight after making an utter disaster of Brexit planning. That’s kind of a big deal. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who styles himself as a journalist, was hit with 18 charges under the Espionage Act. Gosh, that probably raised the stress level of all the reporters in our fake national news...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Please note that headline says “Become President,” not “Become the Democrat Nominee in 2020.” – That’s a key distinction here, because Biden still does have a slightly better chance of being the party’s nominee, although even that edge is steadily declining and will continue to do so over the summer. And this shouldn’t be just a comparison between Buttigieg and Biden. I would submit that Kamala Harris has a better shot at becoming president than Elizabeth Warren, and that even Irish Bob O’Rourke has a better shot at doing so than Cory...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The New York Times went full-on Nazi propaganda over the weekend when the cartoon below, depicting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a dog being walked by a blind, yarmulke-wearing Donald Trump, was published in its international edition’s op/ed pages: Image result for new york times anti semitic cartoon The cartoon is despicably reminiscent of the Nazi propaganda about Jews published during the 1920s and 1930s, which often depicted Jews as sub-human “mongrels,” a term also favored by the Democrat Party-created Ku Klux Klan. Here’s an example from a Nazi...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) I’m old enough to remember when the fake news media treated the Fake Trump Dossier as if it were the holy grail. – And yet, by the end of this week just past, old Watergate fossil Bob Woodward had joined the New York Times, Michael Isikoff and other media luminaries in an obvious coordinated effort to start covering their butts as the thing begins to unravel: Bob Woodward: Steele dossier appeared in draft of US intel assessment on Russian meddling https://washex.am/2UNcZu1 Bob Woodward Bob Woodward: Steele dossier appeared in draft...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) That moment when all the liberal, rich New York Times subscribers on the Upper East Side sat up and said “hey, wait, that’s us!” – Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who is fast replacing Bernie Sanders as Marxism’s favorite stalking horse in the United States, sat down for an interview on 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper on Sunday, and hilarity predictably ensued. First, our intrepid dancing heroine was, as always, completely unable to explain how she would pay for the $40 Trillion-plus price tag for her “Green New Deal” set of proposals, because of...

Today’s Campaign Update – The Week in Review (Because The Campaign Never Ends) This week, we introduce a new feature at the Campaign Update – The Week in Review. Ok, actually we introduced this last Friday evening, but failed to take the time and space to point it out. We’re going to plan to post one of these every Saturday afternoon at least through the end of this year’s mid-term election campaign, at which point the plan is to assess their utility (and readership level) and decide whether they should be continued. In putting these Campaign Updates together every morning,...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) President Trump nominates Supreme Court justice, left goes crazy, fake news media piles on. Wash, rinse, repeat. – So, Brett Kavanaugh will become the latest nominee for the Supreme Court by a GOP president to have his reputation trashed by the Democrat/fake news media propaganda complex. Let’s all hope he can withstand it. So predictable and staged was the leftists’ fake reaction to the nomination that one can only wonder how anyone remains dim enough to fall for this nonsense anymore. A small army of Soros-funded professional protesters began gathering in front...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The Philadelphia Eagles won the franchise’s first Super Bowl, denying the New England Patriots what would have been their 6th NFL championship. Excited Eagles fans swarmed the streets of Philadelphia in celebration, setting fires, breaking windows and vandalizing businesses. So, it was just like they would have done had the Eagles lost. In a last-ditch effort to finally completely destroy the Republican Party – something he tried but failed to do in his 2008 run for the presidency – RINO John McCain is planning to introduce a budget bill in the Senate...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) - Hollywood fraud Meryl Streep still can’t bring herself to talk about what she knew and when she knew it when it comes to her “god,” Harvey Weinstein, but she damn sure can go back 39 years take a shot at Dustin Hoffman for a slap in a scene from Kramer vs. Kramer, which she says now was “overstepping.” So, take that, all you 80 year-old actors who no longer have enough influence to help Meryl Streep command $20 million fees for making movies! - Speaking of Hollywood, the Golden Globes Awards...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) - Former Obama UN Ambassador Susan Rice, who is most famous for lying to the entire world about what got our people killed in the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi in 2012, weighed in on the demonstrations in Iran: “How can Trump help Iran’s protesters? Be quiet.” That, of course, was the posture Barack Obama took towards a similar uprising in 2009, which helped sentence Iranians to 9 more years of rule under the yoke of the radical mullahs, who the Obama Administration actively supported and awarded access to hundreds of billions of...

Houston Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee is a terror. Everyone in Houston knows it. Everyone in Washington, DC knows it. Over the last 22 years, since she was first elected to represent Houston in the district seat once held by Barbara Jordan, Cong. Lee has become a legend for her bizarre and abusive behavior. One of Lee’s most famous eccentricities comes every year on the day of the presidential State of the Union message, which is held in the House Chamber before a joint session of congress. This is the one session of congress at which there is no reserved...

In case you still harbor reservations about how much you love the job Sarah Sanders is doing as White House Press Secretary, read this column from Kathleen Parker at the Washington Post. Ms. Parker complains that Ms. Sanders “humiliates the media on a daily basis.” Ummmmm…yeah, so? Is there a point here? Ms. Parker’s big complaint – her last straw with Ms. Sanders, apparently – was that Sanders began her press briefing on Wednesday by – gasp! – asking various members of the press corps to talk about one thing for which they are actually thankful. “For a press secretary...
