Four years ago, I pleaded for the (liberal) media to stop derailing Hillary’s campaign with irrelevant stories about her “stupid e-mails.” What do you think FOX News, the BBC, The New York Times, The Guardian, and other news organizations would do if Assange were leaking hacked e-mails of their anchors and reporters – purportedly to expose bias in the… Read more.

WTF: After ‘Unwittingly’ Helping to Elect Trump, Sanders Willfully Helping to Re-elect Him…?
For all intents and purposes, Joe Biden dealt Bernie Sanders a knockout blow in their (now two-man) fight for the Democratic presidential nomination on Super Tuesday. I duly celebrated with the Ali-like headline, “Super Tuesday: A Biden Shocker,” March 4, 2020. More to the point, though, Bernie himself effectively threw in the towel one week… Read more.
Kamala Harris Suspends Presidential Campaign…to Wait for VP Nod
I vowed to eschew commenting on the horse race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Biden Gaffing the Nomination Away
Joe Biden’s campaign is playing out as billed in every respect. Most notably, he is committing one political gaffe after another. Of course, that is supposed to endear this ordinary Joe to many voters.

Biden-Harris 2020: That’s the Ticket!
Joe Biden is easily the most qualified American to be president of the United States.

Like me, you probably thought… Read more.
Former Defense Secretary Gates Betrays Own Views and Obama’s Trust in Memoirs
All of Washington was atwitter yesterday over excerpts the New York Times and Washington Post published from former Defense Secretary Robert Gates’s forthcoming book, Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary of War. Significantly, President George W. Bush nominated Gates in 2006 and President Obama retained him until he retired in 2011, evidently, as a thoroughly dismayed… Read more.

Palin surpasses expectations in VP debate with Biden. But …
It really should surprise no one that Republican Sarah Palin surpassed expectations in her vice presidential debate with Democrat Joe Biden last night. After all, her poor performances in recent interviews had influential members of her own party calling on her to withdraw from the ticket – not only to spare herself further embarrassment but… Read more.
Palin prepares for debate by courting the “soft bigotry of low expectations”
It’s time that normal Joe Six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency (sic). This was Gov. Sarah Palin’s folksy attempt to justify her inability to speak intelligently in recent interviews about anything except hunting moose and drilling oil pits. But this populist spin is patent nonsense. Because any normal Joe Six-pack would… Read more.
Barack Obama’s VP nominee: Joe Biden…?
Washington has been abuzz this week with speculation about who presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama, will choose as his vice presidential running mate. And the consensus seems to be that Obama will choose Delaware senator, Joe Biden. I agree. Frankly, thanks to Russia’s invasion of Georgia 10 days ago, Obama had little choice. But instead… Read more.
