We are constantly reminded that smart people vote for Democrats, dumber people vote for Republicans. Usually, it isn’t phrased quite that blatantly. What we are told is that people with college degrees favor Democrats over Republicans, but the implication is clear. The point was made again over the weekend in an in-depth analysis from the New York Times of how much Donald Trump has reshaped the national political landscape. Overall, it’s a good analysis.

The demise of the far-left (formerly mainstream) media has been a long time in the making, but the death knell probably came in the media’s cover-up — yes, that’s the right word — of President Joe Biden’s rapid mental and physical deterioration.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg seems determined to usurp President Trump’s executive authority in regard to homeland security, as he tries to position the judicial branch of government as superior to the executive branch, despite their constitutionally intended co-equal status. Trump, in turn, should consider a somewhat drastic move.

Chief Justice John Roberts was motivated this week to admonish President Trump for suggesting that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg should be impeached, after Boasberg ruled against Trump in a deportation case and went so far as to order airplanes to be turned around if necessary to comply with his order. While not mentioning Trump directly, Roberts’ brief statement that impeachment is not an “appropriate response” to a court’s rulings was clearly aimed at the president.

Congressional Democrats embarrassed themselves Tuesday night in their efforts to push back against President Trump’s first weeks in office and his address to a joint session of Congress. Instead of leaving the impression of being adults standing on principle, they came off as petulant, unserious children. Democrat Rep.

“Congressional Republicans are ignoring their duty to our country while President Trump and Elon Musk trample the Constitution.” “Why won’t Republicans in Congress stand up to Donald Trump?” “Republicans in the House and Senate have proven they have no spine when it comes to opposing Donald Trump’s assault on our government institutions.” On and on it goes, day after day, with Democrats and their far-left (formerly mainstream) media allies repeating the mantra that congressional Republicans...

In all his decades as a news reporter — working in both print and broadcast media — I think it’s safe to say that there’s one question Walter Cronkite never asked: “How did that make you feel?”Whether covering the civil rights movement, the Vietnam war, the Pentagon Papers or Watergate, neither Cronkite nor contemporaries like David Brinkley, Chet Huntley, Howard K.

Did anyone ever believe that President Joe Biden would not end up pardoning his son, Hunter? From the clips above, apparently a lot of people did — and they used it to contrast Biden’s supposed dedication to law and order with Donald Trump’s constant complaints about a weaponized justice system. Biden’s blanket pardon of his son is the least surprising story of the year, and it’s entirely relatable to any parent (and everyone else who can imagine being a parent).
