I was flying on Southwest from Chicago to Dallas in the summer of 2017. I talked with the married couple next to me. They had both been in the Army. The husband was now a civilian plumber on the base. He said that life was good. He no longer had the competition from illegals which […]

A few days ago I read this Babylon Bee article, and then, maybe regrettably, searched Kristin Stewart to see what the reference was. That would be her “doing the gayest thing” on the cover of the Rolling Stone. As you’ll see in the link below the gayest thing is apparently a woman with a mullet […]

Once again there is speculation that Michelle Obama might run for president if the incumbent bows out. I wouldn’t vote for her (or, naturally, for the soon-to-be ex-real estate magnate), but nobody would have greater appeal for independents and the more than 50% of Democrats who want someone other than Biden as their candidate. The […]

I know there’s a tendency among some in this parish to come over all sentimental and lachrymose when discussing the brave, selfless patriots who, encouraged by the Encourager in Chief, rioted in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021. As a corrective, I commend to them Luke Mogelson’s recent article in the New Yorker, “Among the Insurrectionists,” […]

What Should DeSantis have Done?

 

Imagine you were hired by the DeSantis presidential campaign to advise him on his greatest challenge: how to treat the issue of Donald Trump. What would you say?

How about: give Trump his due, but suggest his time is gone. An inspirational leader, but a bit naive. Sure, DeSantis doesn’t have that big-stadium charm, but he can consistently get things done. How best to move the Trump revolution forward? How best to consolidate the Donald’s legacy? Why, with a proven Governor who reveres what DJT stood for, and vows to continue delivering the goods to his most fervent supporters. Waste no opportunity to agree with Trump, but point out gently where his actual performance fell short (not much wall, Obamacare still exists, Covid tyranny, …) and contrast with actual Floridian successes. Accept every insult and lean into it: ‘Why, yes, I am a bit short compared to the average politician – buy my DeSantis 2024 Shoe Lifts from the campaign merch store!’ You are continuing Trumpianism with fresh energy, in an election where advancing age is, for better or worse, on the ballot.

Recently Ann Coulter was on the Patrick Bet-David podcast, and I was interested to hear a good discussion with her. The PBD podcast is a good one because he has interesting guests of diverse views, and he lets them speak. I listen on Spotify so not sure I can insert a link, but I’m sure […]

I hope this hasn’t already been given an airing on Ricochet, but I’ve only just seen it: https://www.newsweek.com/trump-voters-trust-ex-president-more-their-family-friends-poll-1821138. In the CBS News/YouGov survey, Trump voters were asked to pick who they feel tells them the truth. Trump gathered 71 percent of the vote, friends and family gathered 63 percent, conservative media figures had 56 percent, […]

I have heard a bunch about Trump.  He seems destined for jail.  The problem is I am not sure for what or why.I keep hearing that he mentioned that he commented about security documents.  But I really don’t know if he had these documents or showed them to anybody.  Same with the stuff elsewhere.  A […]

Joe Selvaggi talks with legal scholar and George Mason University professor Ilya Somin about the legal merits of the federal indictments against former President Donald Trump and what is likely to come next in the legal proceedings against him and other defendants in the cases involving the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election.

Perhaps you’ll judge the title hyperbole, once you know the actual subject. But this hit me fairly hard.  I have in mind two people very close to me. We are not politically aligned, despite their living their lives on very conservative terms. They’re Christians, they’re loving, they’re generous. I love them and they love me.  […]
