Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas is very upset about Neera Tanden, the well-qualified woman tapped by President Biden to run the Office of Management and Budget. He is shocked, shocked! that tweeting is going on in American politics, and that Tanden has done some of it. Cornyn, speaking for virtually all Senate Republicans, says that Tanden shouldn’t be confirmed to run OMB because she has frequently tweeted harsh criticism of GOP bigwigs. He says that, “in light of her...
Once upon a time — just a few weeks ago — Republicans in Texas were talking about seceding from the union. If memory serves, their state attorney general concocted a crackpot lawsuit that sought to overturn the free and fair presidential election, arguing that Joe Biden’s win was illegitimate. Yep, it looked like Texas wanted to be its own red independent country, practicing its freedom far from the clutches of the socialist White House. But suddenly, a few days ago, Texas...
If Donald Trump were a movie scene, he’d be the fiery train wreck in “The Fugitive,” and U.S. Marshal Tommy Lee Jones would be cruising through the carnage saying, “My my my. What. A. Mess.” The dueling “town halls” on Oct. 15 were enough to make one’s head spin. On ABC, where Joe Biden resided, you had decency and sanity. On NBC, you had demagoguery and sociopathology. Choose the America you want, folks, because the contrast could not be starker. For instance, here...
Maybe you remember this Trump gem from 2016: “I think (Hillary) was out there with classified information. She was giving it to anybody. And the FBI did nothing about it … The top people were scum, absolute scum.” Fooled you! Trump didn’t say that in 2016. He said it on Fox News last weekend. Why? Because he just can’t quit her. While he was convalescing with COVID-19, he phoned into the Fox Business Network and asked, “Why isn’t Hillary Clinton being indicted?” Pe...
Let's begin today with Joe Biden, who is far too often trumped by the tumultuous roar of the MAGA train wreck. Biden, who currently leads Trump by nine points nationally and by as many as five points in Texas (Texas!), had a few choice things to say about the Trump regime's treacherous efforts to discredit Dr. Anthony Fauci. The presumptive Democratic nominee tweeted: "Donald Trump needs to spend less time playing golf and more time listening to experts like Dr. Fauci." And...
I’ve been reading Erik Larson’s new book, “The Splendid and the Vile,” which chronicles the first year of Winston Churchill’s wartime stint as prime minister. He was a gifted rhetorician who used the power of words to move a nation. He combined grim candor with upbeat inspiration: “It would be foolish to disguise the gravity of the hour. It would be still more foolish to lose heart and courage.” What we’re saddled with today is precisely the opposite. Not Churchill at hi...
