I awoke woke and went for a run. It was 5:30 a.m., and I stepped gingerly down the steps of my Capitol Hill townhouse in the early morning darkness. Once I hit the pavement, I tightened my laces a final time. Then I adjusted my new Bluetooth headphones and hit play on an obscure, experimental […]

University of North Carolina Chancellor Fired Hours After She Ordered the Removal of Confederate Statue’s Pedestal…
Hours after the last remnants of a Confederate statue were removed overnight from North Carolina’s flagship public university, the state university system’s governing board pushed out the official who ordered them gone.

It’s Bernie, Bitch…
This dandy little bit of self-plagiarism is from three years ago, when I attended a painfully nerdy and shamefully self-congratulatory event to “Draft Warren” into the presidential primary. It was a farcical gathering of Type-A Tracy Flicks, barely worth the free booze, and even the assembled nerds quickly realized this Lisa Simpson of a dark-horse […]

Recent Democratic presidential nominating contests have been relatively simple. The 2000 (Gore versus Bradley) and 2016 (Clinton versus Sanders) primary battles were almost entirely two-candidate affairs. 2008 quickly devolved to a two-candidate fight between Obama and Clinton by the end of January. The 2004 competition was all but over after John Kerry won both Iowa […]
The Godfather…
Left-wing activists smash windows with bats to protest conservative speakers. They burn property and threaten opponents in public, violently lashing out at individuals for holding conservative views. It’s 2019, but could be mistaken for 1969. That’s no accident, observers of history say. The roots of disorder go back to a style of agitation and organization […]

Thursday on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin set straight the media’s claims that it would be unconstitutional for President Donald Trump to use the National Emergencies Act to build a wall to secure the U.S.-Mexico border. “The president isn’t violating the constitution.

President Donald Trump’s December 18 announcement that he intends to withdraw all U.S. troops from Syria produced some isolated support in the anti-war wings of both parties, but largely provoked bipartisan outrage among in Washington’s reflexively pro-war establishment. Both GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of the country’s most reliable war supporters, and Hillary Clinton, who repeatedly […]
