THE DEBATE – Opinions of who won the Pence-Harris debate will vary, depending on where you generally get your feedback. What’s more important is how you viewed it.
I was struck by the snarky facial mannerisms of Kamala Harris. Smirking. Eye-rolling. A cockiness exuding a kind of superior attitude.
I was left with the same thoughts that I had going into the debate. … read more
PAUL KRUGMAN, not exactly a name known to most of America, so allow me to remind you of his New York Times prediction on the night of the 2016 presidential election, that if Donald Trump wins, there will be a “global recession.” And “if the question is when will markets recover, a first pass answer is never.”… read more
Many of us conservatives were shocked when National Review, the magazine of conservative thought, was so convinced that Donald Trump was not a conservative, that it devoted its February 15, 2016 issue to bring down his candidacy.
I was an admirer of the magazine’s conservative founder, William F. Buckley Jr, who passed away in February 2008. … read more
STILL CARRYING GRUDGE against President Trump, Cindy McCain says she endorses Joe Biden for president, while claiming “she will remain a registered Republican.” RINOs are not true Republicans.
I’m sure the left-leaning Arizona Republic leaped at another opportunity to print opposition material against the president. A 72-point headline, “McCain endorses Biden,” was carried across all four columns of page one with full-color photo of the late senator’s wife posing with a director’s chair bearing her husband’s name.… read more
“I’M GOING TO REMEMBER THIS,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham as he accused Senate Democrats of “the most unethical sham since I’ve been in politics” during the hearings for Justice Kavanaugh.
Visibly angry over their effort to ruin Kavanaugh’s reputation, Graham said, “What you want to do is destroy this guy’s life, hold this seat open, and hope you win in 2020.… read more
I’M NOT CONVINCED that Maine Sen. Susan Collins will vote against confirmation of President Trump’s nomination to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Yes, I read her position statement against a vote prior to the election, but I recall her thoughtful consideration of Justice Kavanaugh during his confirmation process when she was thought to be a “no” vote.… read more
THE SUPREME COURT NOMINATION gives even more meaning to the belief that this coming election will be the most important in modern day political history. Just as it was revealed in the CBS News exit polling in 2016, when they found that most Americans – 70 percent – considered Supreme Court appointments an important, or the most important, factor in deciding their vote for president, that statistic is likely to be consistent with 2020 thinking.… read more
‘NOT SO FAST, KAMALA HARRIS,’ was the lead into Yaron Steinbach’s piece in the New York Post, in which he reported on how the Democrat vice presidential candidate “got a bit ahead of herself when she referred to the ‘Harris administration,’ while discussing economic plans during a virtual roundtable.”… read more
IN AN ENCOURAGING SIGN for the economy, the Labor Department reported that new applications for unemployment benefits dipped to 881,000, the lowest level since mid-March. Forecasters had projected 950,000 jobless claims.
NY GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO, who thought President Trump was great before thinking he wasn’t, came unhinged Wednesday night threatening physical harm upon the president if he visits New York City again.… read more
YOU’VE HEARD that winning the November 3, 2020 election is arguably the most important modern-day national election we will experience. I know, you heard that in 2016 when Hillary Clinton was the other choice, but this is different, vastly different.
“Although Americans did not know what kind of president Donald Trump would be,” wrote Michael Anton in his 2016 essay, “The Flight 93 Election,” they should risk all to elect him because they could be very sure that the alternative would be our republic’s death.”… read more
