As always, a presidential tweet raises the obvious question. Tweeted the President: “It’s very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President.” And a bit later came this other presidential tweet. “So why aren’t the Committees and investigators, and of course our […]
The headlines are almost daily now. Here are a few: From Politico: “Boehner: Republicans won’t repeal and replace Obamacare” From CNN: “Why Senate Republicans can’t agree to repeal Obamacare, in charts” From the Washington Examiner: “Byron York: Why can’t House repeal Obamacare? Because a lot of Republicans don’t want to” From the New York Times: “Why Republicans Are Battling […]
As mentioned in the nearby column, ex-Bill Clinton aide Dick Morris gave an interview to Steve Malzberg of Newsmax last September. Steve has helpfully flagged the video of his Morris interview. In this video, at 2:45 in, Morris specifically says that he witnessed then-President Clinton repeatedly interfering in the 1996 Russian presidential election, thus incurring […]
September, 2016. The Hillary Clinton/Donald Trump campaign is in full gear. And Newsmax TV’s Steve Malzberg, host of “America Talks Live,” has a scoop. And for some interesting reason in July of 2017, that Malzberg scoop from months ago seems to have gotten lost in the swirl of Trump-Russia stories. Lost most particularly in the latest gusher […]
Happy Fourth of July. Instead of columnizing, this day of all days — particularly in the current contentious political climate — there is reason to recall a far more contentious moment in American history.

So as with everyone else I have been reading about the CNN situation on Russia. As a CNN commentator it is important to emphasize that I am just — and only — that: a commentator. Not an executive, not a reporter. Thus I have no inside information on the internals surrounding the headlines of the […]
Yes, it’s a witch hunt. With the witch hunters having not just obvious but massive conflicts of interest. The Wall Street Journal is concerned. And correctly so. In a Friday editorial, the not-always-friendly-to-Trump paper headlined: Robert Mueller’s Mission The special counsel needs to rise above his Comey loyalties. The editorial read in part: That didn’t take long. […]
There he goes again. He being comedian and talk show host Bill Maher. The host of HBO’s Real Time stepped in it the other week, as described here by Esquire: Yet while Maher has never hidden the joy he takes in busting on Trump — or, for that matter, his broadly Democratic leanings — he has distinguished himself […]
His name was Georgi Bolshakov. His real job? He was a colonel in the GRU — the formal name of the latter being the Main Intelligence Agency of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. His cover? Bolshakov was a mid-level diplomat operating out of the Soviet Embassy in Washington, D.C., who […]
Enough is enough. Five years ago, this space featured two back-to-back columns titled “Rally for Rush” and “The Plot to Get Rush.” The focus was a serious attempt by the far-left, race-card playing site Media Matters to force Rush Limbaugh from the airwaves by pressuring his sponsors to cease their connection with the show. The attack on Rush […]
