Trump throws Biden a lifeline on the age problem

September 18, 2023 • 15 mins
What is President Joe Biden's biggest liability as he runs for reelection? Republicans could give you a lot of answers, but the most important is the president's age. He's 80 now and would be 82 upon beginning a second term and 86 at the end of it. He looks and sounds every minute of his age. Having such an elderly chief executive is unprecedented in American history.

Trump's enemies come up with new scheme to take him out

August 29, 2023 • 19 mins
Let's say you hate Donald Trump and really, really, really don't want him to become president of the United States again. How do you prevent that? Well, most would agree the best way would be to defeat him electorally, either in the Republican primaries or in the 2024 general election.

As first debate approaches, is GOP race already over?

August 18, 2023 • 21 mins
The first debate of the Republican presidential primaries is now just days away. There is still uncertainty about who will take part — there have been reports that former President Donald Trump, who leads second-place Gov. Ron DeSantis by 40 points, will skip the event. But Trump could always change his mind.

Americans grow tired of sending money to Ukraine

August 4, 2023 • 12 mins
President Joe Biden has often said the United States will continue military aid to Ukraine "for as long as it takes" to win the war with Russia.

Last month, Biden said, "Our commitment to Ukraine will not weaken.

Alarm goes out: Trump could win

August 1, 2023 • 18 mins
In the past few days, we've seen a number of political analysts come to a momentous conclusion. Actually, two momentous conclusions. The first is that it is unlikely anyone can catch former President Donald Trump in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

What Hunter Biden made

July 28, 2023 • 22 mins
The government still has not released the original plea agreement between the Justice Department and Hunter Biden, even though it was the subject of three hours of discussion and debate in open court this week. Fortunately, Politico has published a bootleg copy — cellphone photos of a printout of the document — or otherwise, we would not know the lengths to which the DOJ went to accommodate the president's son.

Politicize defense? Never!

July 20, 2023 • 16 mins
There has been a highly political battle on Capitol Hill — actually, that's the only kind of battle they have on Capitol Hill — over defense policy and spending. The fight has been on two fronts: 1) passage of the yearly National Defense Authorization Act, which sets military spending levels, and 2) a Republican senator's decision to block Senate confirmation of military promotions until the Biden Pentagon changes its policy on abo...

When investigators won't investigate Joe Biden

July 12, 2023 • 13 mins

Republicans in Congress are starting to ask questions about last weekend's discovery of a baggie of cocaine in the White House. On Friday morning, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), best known as the chief investigator of Hunter Biden on Capitol Hill, sent a letter to Kimberly Cheatle, head of the Secret Service. "The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White...

The stuff Hunter Biden didn't get indicted for

June 27, 2023 • 24 mins
There's no doubt Hunter Biden had some serious tax problems. In the 2010s, he took in millions from shady overseas business dealings, trading on the name of his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, and had a history of filing his returns late with six-figure amounts of taxes due. There was also his lowlife, high-cost drug addict lifestyle in which he threw away hundreds of thousands of dollars on prostitutes and crack. He had per...

Impeaching Joe Biden

June 22, 2023 • 19 mins
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said she will bring articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden to the House floor and that she will do it in a way, a parliamentary maneuver called a privileged motion, that will force the House to take a vote on it. Boebert's effort to impeach the president focuses on his mishandling of the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Questions such as: Did Trump, as president, have the authority to decide what to keep, and what to give to the National Archives, after leaving office?

Trump: Documents investigation is 'election interference'

June 9, 2023 • 20 mins
There are reports the Biden Justice Department is on the verge of indicting former President Donald Trump in the classified documents investigation. Not only would such an indictment be the first federal charge against a former president, but it would also be the first time a sitting president's administration has indicted a leading opposition party candidate in the run-up to a presidential election.
