Bernie, Biden, CBS — Everyone Lost the Dem Debate
If the Democratic confrontation last week in Nevada was “The Godfather” of debates, last night’s South Carolina debate wasn’t “The Godfather Part II” — a worthy followup to a great original. No, it was “Exorcist 2: The Heretic.” It was “True Detective Season 2.” Who made the South Carolina debate the worst sequel ever?
Bloomberg’s Campaign Implodes Onstage in Dem Debate
Mike Bloomberg’s millions in campaign spending flew right out the window Wednesday night. The billionaire’s self-bankrolled presidential bid was torn to shreds in the opening minutes of Wednesday’s Democratic debate as his opponents skewered him for his checkered past on sexual harassment and his record on stop-and-frisk.
William Barr Has Done Nothing to Justify the Left’s Panic Over His Tenure
Rich Lowry: Can the republic survive William Barr? The question has seized the media and center-left, which have worked themselves into a full-blown panic over an attorney general who is, inarguably, a serious legal figure and one of the adults in the room late in Trump’s first term.
Lightweight Bloomberg Already Proving He’s No Match for Bernie or Trump
The Democrats’ white knight, Michael Bloomberg, might be a good businessman, but he has exposed fatal political weakness even before his presidential campaign is off the ground.

Oscars 2020: Politically Correct Awards Show Exposes Hollywood’s Hypocrisy
“All women are superheroes!” Sigourney Weaver proclaimed from the stage. All women? Really? Prove it, Oscar. Next year you can invite Sarah Palin, Ivanka Trump and Roseanne Barr to present Best Picture.
Pelosi Shamed Herself at Trump’s State of the Union Address
Your mumbling and sneering smiles throughout President’s Trump’s powerful address were bad enough, but your decision to tear into shreds your copy of his speech and drop it like a dead fish was shameful beyond measure.
Attack of the Literary Terrorists on Oprah’s Book Club Pick
Citing “specific threats to booksellers and the author,” Flatiron Books has canceled the remaining publicity tour for Jeanine Cummins’ “American Dirt” — replacing the usual events with town halls where the author will meet with allies of the threat-makers. How very sad.
Even with Bolton, Case Against Trump Remains Too Small

Hillary Is the World’s Greatest Gift to Republicans
Previous losing presidential candidates had the dignity to back off and bow out of politics. Yet here is Hillary Rodham Clinton, the recurrent canker sore on America’s butt, which is politics. This week she again tried to reintroduce herself to us all as anything but what she is, which is a sore loser.
Schumer and Dems Must Have Founding Fathers Rolling in Their Graves
Near the end of his inflammatory opening remarks Tuesday, Sen. Chuck Schumer tried his best to scale the rhetorical heights. He declared the moment “deep and solemn” and said, “The eyes of the Founding Fathers are upon us.” If they’re watching, they’re probably rolling over in their graves. Day One of the Trump impeachment trial couldn’t possibly be what they had in mind.
Dems’ Impeachment Trial Strategy Is an Endless Circus Worse Than Kavanaugh Hearings
The Senate must reject Democrats’ “endless overtime” approach. Either send the articles of impeachment back to the House, marked “incomplete,” or just move straight to a final vote after the opening arguments.
Bernie’s Wild Radicalism Has Serious Chance of Taking Over Dem Party
If he had his way, the Vermont socialist would fundamentally change the character of the country. He would make the United States an outlier in the Western world, not in terms of its relatively limited government, but its sweeping activism. A Hellfire missile aimed right at the federal fisc, Sanders would make President Barack Obama’s economic agenda look like the work of a moderate Republican.
The Chicken Littles Got Everything Wrong on Trump and Iran
The sky isn’t falling and Donald Trump pulled off a huge victory. Oh, and he’s still president.
Kaepernick’s Disgraceful, Ridiculous “Racial” Lens on Soleimani Slay
For Kaepernick, Soleimani is just another dark-skinned man brutalized by America. The Iranian terror master was, in effect, driving while non-white and paid the ultimate price.
Gervais Hits Hollywood Where It Hurts
How Hollywood sees itself: dedicated craftsmen, important artists, world thought leaders. How Ricky Gervais (and everyone else) sees them: criminals, perverts and dopes — a gang of pretentious jerkwads who dropped out of high school when people noticed they were pretty, then mistakenly started to think their insights on world affairs matter.
Trump Starts 2020 Poised for Reelection
Despite his achievements, President Trump remains vulnerable in November thanks to near-universal elite opposition and his own shortcomings. But the left’s lunacy is pushing moderate Americans into his corner — all but handing him a second term.
Latest Figures from Commerce Department Look Good for Trump
The only thing that matters during a presidential election year is the economy. And the word “economy” is really a different way of saying: “How are people doing?”
Pelosi’s Flip Flop on Impeachment Damaged America
It is said there are two things you should never watch being made: sausage and government budgets. Now we can add impeachment to the list of stomach-turning sights to avoid.
The Ridiculous Storm Over Trump’s Latest Move Against Anti-Semitism
John Podhoretz: If Trump’s support for Israel and this policy war against anti-Semitic outrages on campus marks him as an anti-Semite, all I can say is, I wish everybody were an anti-Semite.
Dems’ Impeachment Announcement Was Sad and Pathetic
Speaker Nancy Pelosi obviously put out an order requiring her team to adopt a sackcloth-and-ashes pose for the cameras, as if they were attending a funeral. No high-fives, back slapping and smiles today! Gotta pretend we’re not enjoying this! The act surely didn’t fool anyone.
IG Report Proves Whole Investigation Was as Corrupt as Comey
It’s now official: Russia, Russia, Russia really was fake news from the start. There was no factual basis for the FBI to spy on Donald Trump’s campaign. That means there was no need for the appointment of a special counsel and that Robert Mueller should have stayed in retirement.
Foreigners Mocking Trump Is a Sign He’s Doing Something Right
Americans journeyed across an ocean to avoid being European, and voters, especially those in battleground Midwest states, don’t look to the likes of Trudeau or Macron for ballot-box guidance. In fact, when haughty Europeans or Canadians don’t like the American president, we can be sure he is doing something right.
Impeachment Hearing: Nothing’s More Convincing Than Professors Yelling
If you loved the first round of impeachment hearings, do Democrats have a treat for you: Liberal college professors yelling!…Stanford law professor Pamela Karlan ruptured eardrums when she bellowed out her conclusion that in Trump’s dealing with Ukraine, the president had attempted to “strong-arm a foreign leader” and that his conduct was “a cardinal reason why the Constitution contains an impeachment power.”
