The Advance on Vance

Before we take a look at J.D. Vance, the thing that really struck me about the first night of the Republican convention was the appearance of Sean O’Brien, the head of the Teamsters Union. It was the first time the Teamsters had ever appeared at a GOP conclave. And he didn’t change a word ofContinue reading “The Advance on Vance”

The Silence of the Donald

Here’s a line I’ve never written before: Donald Trump has spent the last couple of weeks doing smart things. The first smart thing he’s done is shut the heck up. Trump always sounds smarter when he’s not talking. Since the debate he has shown the unusual discipline to not step on Joe Biden’s self-destruction story.Continue reading “The Silence of the Donald”

The Q&Q For 7/6/24

This week’s quote comes to us from none other than Pres. Joe Biden, who, in response to a question from George Stephanopoulos about how things went so horribly wrong at his debate against Donald Trump, had this to say: “The whole way I prepared, nobody’s fault mine. Nobody’s fault but mine. I, uh, prepared whatContinue reading “The Q&Q For 7/6/24”

We Will Be Biden

Americans are stuck with this decision: Do we want the guy who can’t tell right from wrong or the guy who can’t tell Monday from Tuesday? Pres. Joe Biden’s meltdown at last week’s debate was painful to watch. In the flood of news stories, social media posts and opinion pieces that followed, one comment stoodContinue reading “We Will Be Biden”

Death By Cheerleader

What will it take to get Joe Biden to step aside? Probably bad polling numbers. Really bad polling numbers. Right now Biden, his family, his campaign and the leadership of the Democratic Party are all rallying around him. Whistling past the graveyard seems like a weak analogy. It’s more like the grave has been dug,Continue reading “Death By Cheerleader”

WI Voters Shrug at Trump Convictions

There’s a new Marquette Law School poll out. Let’s dive in. Lack of conviction. The poll provides still more evidence that the conviction of Donald Trump on 34 felony charges last month has made no difference whatsoever, despite what you might have heard on MSNBC. Trump and Biden are almost exactly where they were inContinue reading “WI Voters Shrug at Trump Convictions”

Biden and What Might Have Been

What if Joe Biden had been able to put his ego aside? What if he actually became what he promised to be — a transitional rather than transformational figure, a president who would restore normalcy and rebuild the guard rails destroyed by his predecessor? And most importantly, what if he had committed to serve onlyContinue reading “Biden and What Might Have Been”

Disbar the Fake Electors

The lawyers who were among the 10 fake electors in Wisconsin should lose their law licenses. Yesterday Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul finally got around to charging three of the Wisconsin 10 with one felony forgery count each. You can read the complaint here. Why he did it now, five months before the next election,Continue reading “Disbar the Fake Electors”

What Did You Expect From Haley?

Nikki Haley wants to run for president in 2028. So, she did what she had to do and endorsed Donald Trump. While people like me admired Haley for standing up to Trump for as long as she did, it’s also true that people like me were never going to vote for her. Because, while IContinue reading “What Did You Expect From Haley?”
