Goldman Sachs in Trump II Era: Back in Black, or Back In the Black? Read full article at source...
There six authors in the byline of this story titled “The Story of the ‘Mistakenly Deported Maryland Man’.” I think it’s fair to say the NY Times is going all out here to salvage a failing Democratic effort to make Kilmar Abrego Garcia a sympathetic figure, despite all the bad news that has come out...
Donald Trump is upping his threats to Harvard, and I am okay with that as long as he stays within the law in doing so. Trump’s first shot across the bow came when he froze some funding for Harvard, rightly accusing them of violating civil rights laws. The accusation itself is clearly true–as I wrote...
On Monday of this week, President Trump attempted to remove three members of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s board. On Tuesday, CPB sued the administration, claiming he didn’t have the right to do that. At a court hearing Tuesday afternoon, U.S. District Court Judge Randolph D. Moss ordered both sides to file arguments on CPB’s...
Would this be enough to get Donald Trump to ease tariffs on China? Perhaps it might make a good start — and reflect that China has as much to lose in a trade war as the US, if not more. For background, the US media offered conflicting reports on China’s position yesterday. Axios reported that...
Seriously, what is the point of defending Europe? Well, maybe to defend the Louvre and some monuments to a once-great culture? I can’t think of many other reasons, now that the continent has descended once-again into the 1930s-style of fascism (no, not the Nazis of the late thirties and 40s, but more Mussolini-style fascism). Elections...
I have to say that was one of the best hours I’ve ever had glued to the tube. We watch Jesse Watters every night – he really is pretty entertaining – but we had no idea that the little secret assignment he’d alluded to when explaining his absence was going to make for such an...
Just a Quiet Maryland Dad Giving Interstate Lifts to Undocumented Strangers, or Something – HotAir
Yesterday, both John and I wrote about how badly the decision to make Kilmar Abrego Garcia a martyr was turning out for Democrats. And it keeps getting worse. Last night, Fox News’ Jesse Waters aired body-cam footage from 2022 in Tennessee, when Abrego Garcia got pulled over by state police. He had eight people in...
Frank Luntz is shocked that Donald Trump’s voters are not behaving as expected. You’ve probably seen the propaganda that massive numbers of Trump voters are experiencing buyer’s remorse. It is one of the many failed memes being pushed by Trump opponents. X is filled with fake stories of liberals describing how their Trump-voting friends (as...
Remember the debate over John Fetterman’s mental health during the 2022 cycle? Fetterman had suffered a debilitating stroke as the primaries concluded in Pennsylvania, but refused to relinquish the nomination. Republicans argued that Fetterman was not fit for office, but Pennsylvania voters elected him over Mehmet Oz anyway. That was in large part due to...
Controversial as Trump’s first 100 days have been, the Democrat are in a bind all their own.  With the party’s approval ratings at the lowest level since Appomattox, some of their leading lights are going back to their roots. In the case of Senators Chris Murphy (NJ) and Adam Schiff (CA), we’re talking Clinton-era roots;...
As Ed wrote yesterday in his VIP post, the original publisher of the Steele Dossier, Ben Smith, has expressed some regrets about having dropped the stinking pile of horse manure into the public realm.   Most people don’t know this, but Clinton campaign operatives had shopped the Steele Dossier around trying to get journalists...
I don’t get this Tillis *spits* guy. He’s got an ‘R’ after his name that’s worth about as much to him as it means to Murkowski. Just a reminder that @SenThomTillis voted to confirm both Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco to lead Biden’s DOJ. Now he wants to sink the confirmation of acting DC US...
The Tesla vandalism spree has slowed down but it hasn’t stopped. Earlier this week a man in Mesa, Arizona carried out another arson attack at a Tesla dealership. The culprit was arrested a short time later and is facing federal charges. Today, a federal grand jury in Phoenix returned a five-count indictment against Ian William...
Both my parents graduated from Harvard, as did one of my siblings. At the time of his admission, my father was admitted despite his Jewish heritage because at the time, the prestigious university was as fond of admitting Jews as it is of admitting Asians today. Harvard was WASP heaven then, and it is woke...
