The eternal question of our time: Are the media evil or stupid?

Gettysburg, South Dakota — So it is true. Money really can’t buy you love. Just ask Joe Biden.

Oh, to live in this age of conspiracies. Did you hear the latest one?

The good news is voters in Virginia this week fired the first shot in the war to end the carnival of absurdity that has infected our politics over the past few years.

Former Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder answers to no one. He has always been truly independent, which makes him a problem inside the Democratic Party.

On Wednesday, President Biden traveled to Scranton, Pennsylvania, to sell his doomed “human infrastructure” bill, which smells more like an un-showered Green New Deal and quacks like another welfare boondoggle. 

No, GOP swampers, Donald Trump is not going away.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley was too busy to come up with an Afghanistan withdrawal plan. He was too busy leaking to a raft of Washington reporters who spent the past year digging up dirt for the library of rabidly anti-Trump books they were writing.

President Donald J. Trump has not been out of office one year, and already there is so much Americans miss about him. Top of the list, apparently, is the Mean Tweets.

And the Firm Grasp of the Obvious Award goes to … Chuck Todd of NBC News!

The whole problem with socialism is that it’s like sharing a banana with a gorilla. You never get a bite of the banana. And you will probably get mauled anyway.

Twenty years after 9/11, a plague from China rampages across our homeland. To date, COVID-19 has killed over 230 times more Americans than did those terrorist attacks.

President Joe Biden is turning the world into the movie set of Mad Max.

Rarely has one image more perfectly captured the moment — and totality — of a man’s presidency.

Republican politicians in Washington have not learned a damned thing from the Trump presidency. Nor, for that matter, have they learned a thing from nearly a half-century of foreign governments’ spilling blood and treasure in Afghanistan.

In defense of Joe Biden, he is two scoops short of an ice cream cone.

Somebody needs to check the water lines going into the New York governor’s mansion in Albany. Those old, lead pipes are apparently leaching Viagra, testosterone and horny goat weed into the drinking supply.

Not since the athlete formerly known as “Bruce” Jenner quit manhood has an American quitter been more celebrated than elite gymnast Simone Biles. Perhaps it is something of an indictment of this year’s Global Pandemic Olympics that the most exciting event thus far has been the women’s 800-meter dash for the quitting line.

This year’s summer Olympics in Tokyo is hardly underway, and already they have suffered a fairly epic collapse in ratings, falling to a 33-year low.

You know we are in trouble when CNN’s Don Lemon is the smart one.

Modern-day ISIS in America is not just hellbent on obliterating the history of our Founding. They are also determined to destroy our more recent history — both our darkest struggles and our most brilliant shining moments.

For 50 years, innocent American citizens have been hectored by the leftover the importance of privacy in health care.

Donald Trump is back. And he was on FIRE on Sunday night in Dallas.

Mrs. Pelosi, tear down that wall!

Just when you thought it was safe to celebrate Independence Day again …

Beware the perils of hawking every human catastrophe for personal political gain.

There is Bernie Madoff-level government corruption in Washington. There is Clinton Foundation-level grift in politics. And there is Anthony Weiner-level sleaze wherever the media, government, and politics collide.

Blundering Joe Biden and the Old Gang are back together again.

Happy Memorial Day. Or, as Vice President Kamala Harris calls it, “Just another long weekend I get to spend remembering me!”

Vax-a-Million! Get it? Like “thanks a million,” as in a million dollars? That you most likely will NOT win in the state lottery?

Identity politics can be a real bitch.

That really is where the guy is coming from. In his eyes, the federal government is “we the people” and you stupid suckers out there need to just shut up and pay your taxes. He will spend your money for you.

There is a special breed of sewer rat in Washington who is willing to exploit any human catastrophe for personal political gain.

Meet Joe Biden, America’s drunken sailor.

For nearly five decades, Mr. Biden has been getting everything wrong in Washington. He has always been a low-watt thinker with verbal dysentery.

When Russian President Vladimir Putin made the extraordinary offer a few weeks back to debate President Biden, he set only one condition. He insisted that the debate be live. In other words, not recorded in order to be filtered by the media before being aired later.
