Sleaze ball Brian Stelter has failed to report on the vast majority of what has transpired re Ford and Kavanaugh. The leftist lawyers, guilty until innocent demands against Kavanaugh, Democrat delay tactics, Soros funding, and all the rest of the know facts via media reports that we all have seen. That’s what sleaze balls do.…… MORE

The media and Democrats…
The media and Democrats lecture us about decency, tradition, integrity; yet they trash the president hourly, accusing him of undermining our wonderful politics, as they’ve tried from day one to remove him from Office. They lie about the Senate legacies of Ted Kennedy and John McCain, who undermined republicanism. They denounce the Trump electorate as…… MORE
Ben Sasse has turned out to be a disaster…
The last time I spoke to him, he called me a few years ago lobbying on behalf of the Corker-Iran bill. I told him shame on him, that it was a complete sellout and violation of the Treaty Clause, and to never call me again. And, in fact, we have not spoken since. He can…… MORE
STUNNING & UNPRECEDENTED ABUSE OF POWER
Despite the New York Times spin, we now have a smoking bazooka! The FBI, Bruce Ohr, and Christopher Steele tried to set up Trump with the Russians. It was a complete failure. And the special counsel is purposely not investigating it. This is the greatest abuse of power this country has ever faced. And even…… MORE
These tariffs on allies = lost American jobs
These tariffs on allies = lost American jobs in unprotected economic segments, higher prices on all related goods for all Americans (tariffs are taxes that drive up costs), more revenue for the federal bureaucracy (the government treasury collects the tariffs, aka taxes, paid by the American people), inflationary pressure, etc. This is crony capitalism that…… MORE
Austan Goolsbee and the latest moronic chorus…
Austan Goolsbee and the latest moronic chorus – Trump broke the law respecting his early reference to the unemployment numbers. Of course, the numbers themselves are all but ignored because they’re excellent. However, the issue is not the earlier reference to the numbers but that everyone know the numbers at the same time so as…… MORE
The appointment of Robert Mueller violates the Appointments Clause of the Constitution…
The appointment of Robert Mueller violates the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. Mueller is not an inferior appointee, but a principal appointee as understood under our constitutional. His powers are more akin to an United States attorney, not an assistant United States attorney. Moreover, his boss, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, treats him as a…… MORE
Revisiting Manafort
When Manafort’s lawyers brought a civil case challenging the scope of Mueller’s investigation legal pundits insisted its frivolousness would actually hurt his defense in the Virginia criminal case; I argued the contrary and never understood that rationale. Manafort’s lawyers took an aggressive approach and I argued they should press the scope is wherever possible. Although…… MORE
Here’s a thought…
Rather than try to pass legislation to protect “Special Counsel” Mueller, the GOP Congress should subpoena Mueller and demand he answer legitimate questions about the course of his investigation— especially given its constitutional impact. Congress need not wait for Mueller to issue his pronouncements. Surely Mueller cannot be a power unto himself, immune from legislative…… MORE
Sadly, we’ve been deceived…
Sadly, we’ve been deceived by some prominent figures for decades who preached fiscal conservatism but obviously never meant it. Republicans blowing through spending ceilings is apparently different than when Democrats do it. This massive spending and borrowing law feeds the very glutinous swamp outsiders and conservatives are supposed to reject. Yet, we are mocked for…… MORE
