January 24, 2020Hillary Puts Bernie Into Her Basket of Deplorables By Patrick J. Buchanan
"Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician." So says Hillary Clinton of her former Senate colleague and 2016 rival for the Democratic nomination, Bernie Sanders.
January 24, 2020Historians Say New York Times Gets History Wrong By Michael Barone
We live in history-making times. Not so much because of the impeachment trial going on in the Senate, which will make history only if it routinizes impeachments of impolite presidents when their opposition party gets control of the House, but because of what looks like an ongoing battle for control of the central narrative of American history.

January 23, 2020POTUS Popping in the Polls By Brian C. Joondeph
Watch cable news, particularly CNN or MSNBC, and hear how the “walls are closing in” on President Trump. Impeachment is underway, a solemn and sober process, celebrated by House Speaker Pelosi handing out autographed pens during the impeachment article signing ceremony. One would think she was signing landmark legislation like the Civil Rights Act given the pomp and circumstance.

The clock is still ticking on America’s longest-running war. But few voters think the war in Afghanistan has accomplished its mission, and most think it’s unlikely to have a happy ending.
January 23, 2020Trump Not Immune to the Usual Down-Ballot Presidential Penalty By Louis Jacobson
But the Senate remains a bright spot for Republicans amidst decline elsewhere.
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE— After just three years in the White House, Donald Trump is seeing a significant erosion of down-ballot seats held by his party.
— This erosion puts Trump in good company — at least since World War II, presidents typically experience at least some erosion across his party’s numbers of U.S. Senate, U.S. House, gubernatorial, and state legislative seats.
— The best news for Trump and Republicans is that they have held their own in the category of races that is arguably most politically important: the Senate.

                            January 21, 2020Once Again, Party Line Defines Views of Trump China Trade Deal
President Trump has just signed the first phase of an historic trade agreement with China, although both countries are still keeping their recently imposed tariffs in place for now. Voters tend to think the deal will be good for America and are more upbeat on how it will impact them personally. But as usual, party line makes a difference.
January 21, 2020Working Hard Versus Hardly Working By Stephen Moore
Almost all of us know (because President Trump boasts of it in nearly every speech) that our 3.5% unemployment rate has reached a 50-year low. But this official decline in joblessness doesn't tell the entire story of the improvement in the job market in the United States. And it doesn't fully capture the change in direction between what happened under President Barack Obama and Trump.
January 21, 2020Is Mass Civil Disobedience Our Future? By Patrick J. Buchanan
On the holiday set aside in 2020 to honor Martin Luther King, the premier advocate of nonviolent Gandhian civil disobedience, thousands of gun owners gathered in Richmond to petition peacefully for their rights.

                            January 20, 202026% Say Bernie Thinks Like They Do; 37% Say Same of Trump
For many Democrats, Bernie Sanders is the candidate who can beat Joe Biden for the party’s 2020 presidential nomination. But voters are less in sync with Sanders’ avowedly socialist views than those of his potential campaign rival, President Trump.

January 18, 2020America's Long History of Meddling in Russia By Ted Rall
Russia -- OK, not the actual Russian government but a private troll farm company located in Russia -- bought $100,000 worth of political ads on Facebook designed to change the outcome of the 2016 election. Except that only a small fraction of those ads were political. Also except that the small fraction was divvied up between pro-Hillary Clinton and pro-Donald Trump ads. And especially except that $100,000 in Facebook ads can't affect the outcome of a $6.8 billion election.
