The day a twitter mob can change a headline on the New York Times this paper is truly finished and replaced by a new kind of 1984 Ministry of Truth. The news is now what people say it is.

- So we have now spent years on this Russia investigation essentially because McCabe and Rosenstein could not get over the firing of James Comey even after Rosenstein wrote the memo to fire him. So they hired their own special counsel to get rid of the president. It’s clear now.
- We all have to reunite regardless of who wins the election. Calling your opponent a fascist when slipping in the polls is irresponsible after 2 assassination attempts. You can’t complain about January 6th and then recreate it. It’s wrong for the campaign and for the country.
- Seriously You think that Jeffrey Goldberg got added to a high-level national security conversation by chance? Maybe you thought Covid was from the wet market and not from the lab that was right there and contained Covid-like viruses. The chance that this was done by an
- First, Harris does not attend the speech of Netanyahu and then bypasses Shapiro as VP. Then, she is advised not to attend the Catholic Al Smith dinner and sends in a video. Catholics and Jews have been some of the most reliable Democratic votes. So what is the campaign thinking?
- One interview. One debate. Some rah rah stump speech you read over and over. And voila you have a 50 per cent chance of being president. Good gig if you can get it. No 3 debates. No 2 years of primaries, coalition building, no detailed policy development, and no daily press
- Rather than issuing posturing statements, CBS News should act like a news organization and release the full transcript and let the transcript speak for itself. They should want to fully inform the public on Harris’ answers and avoid becoming the story. Free the transcript.

- After Israel accepted US terms twice while Hamas rejected them, President Biden’s comment that Israel isn’t doing enough to get a ceasefire is reprehensible. It’s Biden who isn’t doing enough to discourage evil tunnel Hamas snakes from executing hostages.
- Disgraceful Pardon This was not a pardon of just Hunter Biden but of Joe Biden himself as his son ran a scheme with Joe’s brother to shakedown adversaries of over $20 million and then didn’t even pay taxes on it. And the loot was distributed even to grand children. And this is
- Lawfare hibernating The cases against Trump were all based on twists of law design to snare a political opponent during the election season and prevent him from getting elected. They backfired as most people saw through them. Merrick Garland never got over being blocked from the
- Lessons of the election America is a center right country at heart. Only 25 per cent are liberal and the other 75 per cent won’t be ruled by the 25. Campaigns are about issues and serious proposals and positions and you can’t avoid having them. Demonizing opponents and using
- We are witnessing a complete failure of both American diplomacy and deterrence in the Mideast. The Houthis just launched a hypersonic missile against Tel Aviv. Hamas, emboldened by US waffling, refused to accept any US deals. Hezbollah refused to stop sending what is now 100
