The Media Just Can’t Get It Right
The New York Times ran a story saying Trump got indicted for saying ‘the election was stolen – going on and on the Times spelled out Trump’s ‘false statements’ like claiming ‘In Detroit, turnout was 139 percent of registered voters’ when turnout in Detroit was really 51%. But if spinning tales was a crime jails…
Read MoreKeep Kamala
The single most suicidal, self-defeating thing Democrats could do is drop Vice President Kamala Harris from the ticket in 2024. Some Democrats want to, but that’s short-sighted. They don’t see the punch and power she brings to the ticket. Most important, she’s ready to be President now. She was a tough prosecutor who put sexual…
Read MoreGold Bars
Well, Democrats are using the Justice Department as a weapon again – but this time they threw Republicans a curveball: After FBI agents found envelopes stuffed with cash, shining gold bars, and a Mercedes convertible at his home he didn’t pay for, they indicted a Democrat for taking bribes. When Trump says Biden’s using the…
Read MoreWithout Both?
Democrats are enjoying seeing Trump in court – while Trump calls the lawsuits against him a ‘witch hunt.’ So is Biden on a witch hunt – or did Trump break the law? Here’s a question no one asks: What if both are true? What if Biden got Jack Smith to indict Trump? And what if…
Read MoreJanuary 6, 2000
Jaw set Trump said, ‘Democrats have been saying for 20 years elections were stolen but not one got indicted.’ Early on election night back in 2000 TV networks announced Al Gore won Florida – later that night, about facing, the same networks said George Bush won Florida by a handful of votes. Angry politicians roared,…
Read MoreTrump Versus Biden
Biden’s itching to run against Trump – he’s the Republican Biden’s most likely to beat. And it looks like Biden may get what he wants – in a poll last week Trump had 52% of the vote, a big lead, in the Republican primary. But there’re warning signs (for Trump): A block of his voters…
Read MoreThe Inescapable Issue
Powers beyond our control, breeding crises no one saw coming, have changed politics in the blink of an eye: Pearl Harbor did that. So did 9/11. And Covid. The ‘unexpected’ makes predicting the outcome of an election a year away risky business. For all we know Putin may invade Poland next. Or Kim Jong Un…
Read MorePolitainment
A video landed from a friend in my inbox – Reverend R.C. Sproul talking about ‘worshiptainment,’ – a blight sowed in churches by preachers turning services into concerts, stage shows. I wrote back, agreed, added I felt the same way about ‘politainment.’ Vivek Ramaswamy’s the new Republican politainer. We’ve also got entertainer Mark Robinson off…
Read MoreFour More Years?
An aging President faces questions about his fitness for a second term. His poll numbers are discouraging. Americans are down on the economy. The opposing party smells blood. Joe Biden in 2023? Maybe. But also, Ronald Reagan in 1983, 40 years ago. Then, things changed. In 1984, a Reagan-Republican rout reshaped politics for decades to…
Read MoreSt. Paul to Titus
To rescue a church at war with itself Paul wrote Titus: ‘When a man stirs up division warn him once, warn him a second time, then have nothing more to do with him.’ (Titus, 3:10) Titus was from Greece. The divided church was in ancient Crete. Today political civil wars rule the news – you…
