I’ve written volumes over the years about Trump’s narcissism, envy, and insecurity. But his latest tantrum, accusing Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and even Oprah of election meddling, marks a new low in his war against celebrity rejection. Trump craves celebrity validation the way his MAGA followers crave his attention. The irony? He wouldn’t let… Read more.
Frankly, Trump’s victory was so decisive, and his vision for America so ominous, that it begs the question: What would America look like if it were a conquering Robert E. Lee meeting a surrendering Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox? Civil war of 2024 with ballots, not bullets Well, we’re about to live out a 21st-century… Read more.
Nothing demonstrates what Kremlin pawns Americans have become quite like President-elect Trump having Elon Musk on his call with Ukrainian President Zelensky. Because that forced Zelensky to plead with Musk for continued US help in defending his country against Russia’s genocidal onslaught.

Her “Opportunity Agenda” from them includes legalizing weed, protecting crypto, and offering business loans. The policy behind it — Black empowerment — is solid. But the motivation is so misguided it’s embarrassing. Because Kamala throwing this Hail Mary to… Read more.
Half of Donald Trump’s former cabinet secretaries are refusing to endorse his campaign, citing his unfitness for office. Gen. Mark Milley, Trump’s former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, explains why their refusal is as unprecedented as it is disqualifying: He is the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions … but now I… Read more.
Oh, Vogue, you’re just trying to get under Trump’s thin skin. Cue his whining about “election interference” and how it’s unfair not to feature him on the cover (of a women’s magazine, no less). We all know this flattering feature that calls Kamala “the candidate for our times” is sure to turn his orange face… Read more.
Since Hurricane Helene made landfall on Thursday, Biden and Kamala have been conspicuously absent. They should’ve been on TV every day, providing comfort, pledging support, and promising to visit flood-ravaged states ASAP. In infuriating contrast, Trump was all over TV, and it hardly mattered that he was blatantly lying about what they were doing and… Read more.
