National Democrats
Sitting in a Hard Place
Things are heating up here in North Carolina. Lara Trump’s out, not running for Senate. Michael Whatley’s in, with President Trump backing him. And it looks like Roy Cooper’s going to announce next week. With no real primary in either party the general election is probably going to heat up pretty quickly. Last week, in…

Democrats naturally are enjoying watching Trump, MAGA and congressional Republicans tear each other apart over the Epstein files. It’s ugly.

Seven years old, in 1933, waking up in a strange bed, staring into the semidarkness, he thought he was in Grand Central Railroad Station in New York. He wasn’t. He was in a hospital in his hometown near the border of Wales. He’d never set foot in New York City. Turning his head he saw…

It’s hard to get your arms around what’s going on these days – one thing pops up, a contradiction pops up, and it leaves you befuddled. Trump said we ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear sites. That sounded good. Better than good. The ayatollah wouldn’t get his hands on a nuclear bomb. But in the blink of an…

MAGA Queen Marjorie Taylor Greene whacked Trump for bombing Iran – what she posted next was odder: She said John F. Kennedy was assassinated because he’d opposed Israel’s ‘nuclear program.’ J. D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio all said we’re not after ‘regime change’ in Iran – Trump said, Why not regime change? Trump announced…

Decorating the walls with gold filigree, lining the mantle with gold ornaments, Trump set the stage for ‘Live from the White House.’ The cabinet met, cameras rolled, around the table, somber, differential, smiling, Bondi, Hegseth, Noem lauded Trump.
