Trump obviously has his flaws and weaknesses as a candidate, but these are already well-known to the electorate, whereas Biden’s flaws and weaknesses have not yet been targeted in a sustained campaign.

A Call for Freedom, a Fear of Unemployment
Now nationally the unemployment ranks have filled to 13 percent of the population in a country that a month ago was at record high employment. It will get worse. Does it take open rebellion to get the attention of America’s elected officials?
Dems Ignore Lockdown Protests at Their Peril
In addition to killing thousands of Americans and robbing millions more of their livelihoods, the COVID-19 outbreak has evidently deprived the Democrats of their political judgment. At the national and state levels they have disregarded voter lockdown protests with the same disdain with which they ignored the Tea Party movement ten years ago.
Media on Coronavirus: Stenographers for the Elite
Reflexive opposition to President Trump means that the press has placed itself in a curious echo chamber with him. When he says something, almost literally anything, they feel that they need to correct it. If Trump is preaching hope, they need to correct it with despair. If Trump says this virus came from China, they have to say that it came from Europe.
Florida has Beaten the Surge
About two weeks ago, the number of new coronavirus cases reported in Florida hit a one-day peak, a key metric that has since declined by about 20 percent. Florida has reported a cumulative total of about 21,000 cases of COVID-19, which means the Sunshine State’s per-capita infection rate is about 90 percent lower than New York’s. However, the good news hasn’t been reported in the national media.
The Worst Governor in America
If Democrats would consider naming such a lightning rod as Democratic governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer to their ticket, it just shows how badly Trump Derangement Syndrome has warped their judgment. Insanity is everywhere nowadays, and Michigan residents are cursed to be ruled by the Mad Woman of Lansing.
A Mitigation Disaster
A national stay-at-home order would be deadlier than COVID-19.
The Impeachment That Killed America
While all that impeachment obsession was happening, the coronavirus was making its debut.
The Moralizing Cuomo Brothers
Too bad their sermons about coronavirus deaths don’t extend to unborn children.
The Washington Post Turns Totalitarian
The reason Post media writer Margaret Sullivan suddenly wants to shut down the presidential briefings is that, for an hour or so every day, the American people have gotten to see the president in action, up close and personal. For themselves. And what they see is not the hateful, ignorant bigot of the liberal media narrative. What they see is a very determined, very smart guy.
Coronavirus Exposes Obamacare Failures
Ten years of “reform” has decimated our rural health care safety net.
Biden’s Unpresidential Coronavirus Rhetoric
His public statements and campaign ads have been exploitative and dishonest.
Biden’s Scary Coronavirus Advisors
A motley collection of rationing advocates, ideologues, and Obama administration retreads.
Coronavirus Achieves a Longtime Dem Goal
Trump is finally canceling the campaign rallies they fear and loathe.
Sexism Was Not Why Elizabeth Warren Lost the Dem Primary
The next 48 hours will see many rationalizations for her campaign’s failure, but any attempt at an autopsy should begin with an acknowledgment that Warren’s chances were always oversold by a sympathetic media to a largely credulous (and largely elite) world of consumers.
Why Trump Would Easily Beat Biden
The voters will never replace the president with such an archetypal swamp creature.
The Next Coup Against Trump Has Begun
It was inevitable. After the Democrats failed to evict Donald Trump from office through the Mueller investigation and then the ridiculous impeachment over the Zelensky telephone call, they would have to try something else to ruin him before the November election. Rush Limbaugh was the first to predict that they’d go back to the “Russia collusion” narrative, and they have.
Whither the Anti-Trump Uprising?
The early Democratic contests suggest that the Resistance is running out of steam.
The Absurd “Trump Is a Tyrant” Trope
The Democrats cling to their self-refuting caricature of the President.
The Bloom Is Off
Money can’t buy Bloomberg an effective debate performance.
A Trump-Bernie Brawl Would Benefit the Nation
His nomination would set up an uncharacteristically honest debate about the Democratic Party’s vision for the nation’s future as it compares to that of the GOP. If Sanders wins the Democratic nomination, he won’t attempt to hide his views behind euphemism and subterfuge. Nor will President Trump be coy about his enthusiasm for capitalism.
Maybe the Coronavirus Will Teach Millennials the Dangers of Communism
Millennials love socialism. They like redistributive social policies. They want everyone “taken care of.” The purveyors of current American socialist policy are a communist, Bernie Sanders, and current “democrat socialists” aka “the Squad.”…Maybe China’s totalitarian actions attempting to stop the coronavirus will wake up the younger generations.
The Great Liberal Freakout Has Begun
The sense that the end is near for Biden has inspired panic in the ranks of Democrats and their media allies over the possibility that either (a) the socialist Sanders could win the party’s nomination, or (b) their coalition might come completely unraveled should the establishment Democrats cheat Sanders out of the nomination, as the Vermont senator’s left-wing loyalists believe happened in 2016.
Is Trump Settling All Family Business?
As described by the hysterical media, you would think that Trump had “settled all family business” in the manner portrayed in The Godfather’s climactic scene when Michael Corleone has the heads of five Mafia families whacked. But the truth is altogether to the contrary. In May, Alexander Vindman will enroll in the Army War College. This is a selective program and a singular opportunity to advance one’s military career.
