Trump’s trial ended. And the media – CNN, Fox, MSNBC, Newsnation – is on fire. Michael Cohen testified he and Trump met – after Trump won the election – and agreed on how to repay him back for hush money he paid Stormy Daniels. Trump says that’s pure blarney. It never happened. But would Cohen…
“We’ve been flanked and we’ve lost the line!” – Metropolitan Police radio, January 6, 2021 Fifty years ago this summer, the American system held up against the criminal presidency of Richard Nixon. Trump makes Nixon look like an Eagle Scout. Will the system hold up this year against a convicted felon, fraud and rapist –…
We’ve been outed, Democrats. A wily Republican strategist, Matt Wylie, has exposed our real agenda. In an op-ed in The Charlotte Observer, Wylie warned his party what America will face if Democrats win this year: “Increasing the federal minimum wage to $17/hour, incorporating provisions of the Green New Deal, implementing new federal voting rights mandates,…
Patti Davis, Ronald Reagan’s daughter, writing a column, remembered watching the Kennedy-Nixon debate with her father, said Kennedy and Nixon ‘probably didn’t like each other’ but were ‘unfailingly polite in their disagreements,’ concluded that’s how adults were ‘supposed to behave’ back then.

Trump’s gone from sitting in court getting sued to suing. At the Cannes Film Festival a filmmaker played his movie, The Apprentice, a biography about Trump as a young man building his real estate empire in Manhattan, his first marriage to Ivana, his friendship with Roy Cohn.

Surely, I thought, this isn’t true. Not even the Trump-MAGA crowd would boast that one result of Trump’s election would be a “Unified Reich.” “Reich.” Like Hitler’s Third Reich. But there it was, on Trump’s Truth Social account, among messages flashing across the screen: “Trump wins!!”, “Economy booms!” and – yes – a headline with…
Taunting Trump, Biden quipped, ‘He’s not a good loser – but he is a loser.’ Taunting again, mocking Trump saying ‘injecting bleach’ might stop coronavirus, quipped, ‘I think that’s what he did. That’s why he’s so screwy.’ Biden also said when he took office inflation was 9% – even CNN couldn’t shallow that one, pointed…
Memorial Day My publisher called with good news – my memoir, about 50 years of politics, from Reagan to Trump, is going to be published in August. As we talked I asked, What do you read these days for news? He mentioned The Free Press. So, I went to their website, signed up, and today…
You couldn’t make this stuff up. Trump posted on Truth Social that Biden’s Justice Department: ‘AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE’ when it searched his home at Mar-a-Lago, for classified documents. When she read Trump’s post Marjorie Taylor Greene’s eyes popped – minutes later she took to Twitter: ‘The DOJ and FBI were…
