Debate Advice for Republicans: Issues, Not Oprah

As the first Republican debate approaches, I have an urgent appeal to the candidates: Please adopt the good things Donald Trump did and skip the catastrophic parts (i.e., everything after the campaign ended on Nov. 8, 2016). Although he presided over the most wasted presidency in history, the 2016 ...

How to Be a New York Times Reporter

You probably think the job of a reporter is to report news. How old-fashioned, cis-gendered, white supremacist of you! That's not it at all, certainly not at the august New York Times. Instead, a reporter's mission is to find out what kind of story would help the Democrats at any particular moment ...

BREAKING: Trump Still an Idiot

With the latest indictment of Donald Trump, special counsel Jack Smith has delivered a comprehensive and well-documented case establishing beyond cavil that Trump is a clown. Well, that's something we've never heard before! Oh no, sorry, I mean we've heard it every day for the past 2 1/2 years: It ...

Republican Pledge: No More Talking About Trump

The media are so desperate for Republicans to nominate Donald Trump that they've turned over 96.7% of their programming to covering him, with brief interruptions for Emmett Till updates. Like dogs playing a game of fetch for eternity, they never tire of rehashing Trump's legal troubles, his ...

Trump’s Endorsement Got DeSantis Nothing

Donald Trump is indignant that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would dare run for president when he KNOWS Trump is running. According to the former president and big baby, this is a betrayal of epic proportions because Trump endorsed DeSantis during his first gubernatorial run. (Whereas winning the ...

Hunter’s ‘Love Child’ and Conservative Madness

Right-wingers (and The New York Times' Maureen Dowd) are browbeating President Biden for not embracing his son Hunter's illegitimate child -- the result of drug-crazed, unprotected sex with a stripper. Conservatives are so enjoying bashing the president that they're taking a strikingly ...

The Truth About Legacies

After an initial burst of indignation at the Supreme Court for taking on the unpleasant task of informing college admissions offices that race discrimination is unconstitutional, the media's main focus quickly shifted to their favorite topic: blaming white men. True, it was going to be difficult ...

Could Somebody Keep Trump’s Promises?

If there is hope for America -- and I'm doubtful -- it came at 10 a.m. Monday in Eagle Pass, Texas, when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiled his immigration plan. Much of the document is strikingly similar to Donald Trump's immigration plan from waaaaay back in 2016, the only minor exceptions being ...

Trump is the Media’s New David Duke

The media are so desperate to get Donald Trump the Republican presidential nomination that they're acting like the fat lady has sung -- and they don't mean Chris Christie. They refer to Trump exclusively as the "front-runner" and gloatingly note that he's dominating the polls so they can sneer at ...

The Trump Indictment

Last week's indictment of Donald Trump is the latest example of why liberals really should have read my book, "Resistance Is Futile." Or Aesop's fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." Either one. After years of making insane accusations against Trump, from Russian collusion to indicting him for ...
