The case against Trump is a joke because the records violation of which Trump is accused is a misdemeanor, on which the statute of limitations has run. It is only a felony if the records were falsified to cover up another crime.

It’s a mystery why UAW bosses consider wiping out Israel to be in the interest of their union’s members. But then, union bosses stopped caring about their members’ interests a long time ago. Now, they are just flacks for whatever cause the Left comes up with.

With each passing week since October 7, the outbursts of anti-Semitism in America have become more brazen, more widespread, more ferocious, and with fewer attempts to disguise its true character with academic jargon about colonialism. The Jew-hatred is completely out in the open now.

That isn’t exactly a news flash. But has there ever been more definitive proof than the silence of most feminists in the face of Gaza’s brutal assault on Israeli women?

Most of the pro-genocide students are non-Americans, most likely from the Middle East. They have brought their unAmerican attitudes with them to this country. MIT doesn’t want them to be deported, likely in part, at least, because they are rich kids who pay full freight. Foreign students are a cash cow for universities.

Bowman is the Democratic rep who pulled the fire alarm next to an emergency exit in one of the House office buildings, in order to delay a vote on the House floor. A new video shows that every word Bowman has said about the incident was a lie. Bowman, meanwhile, was last seen voting for Hamas on the House floor. A thoroughly detestable character.

Dick’s Sporting Goods just reported declining profits due to organized retail theft. What is lacking is the political will to enforce our laws.

Scott Johnson: Fani Willis held a brief press conference just before midnight. In response to one of the few questions she took Willis emphatically professed ignorance regarding the posting of the Case Information by the clerk before the grand jury had voted the indictment. I don’t believe her.

Covid is so over that even Joe Biden gets it, though his declaration over the weekend that Covid is over is going to annoy the masks-forever faction of the Democratic Party, and make J. Edgar Fauci totally redundant.

John Hinderaker: I think the likelihood that Trump has a good reason for keeping 10 or 15 boxes of miscellaneous records in his basement, after having returned 15 other boxes to the Archives months ago, is negligible. I suspect that Trump and Biden are collaborating in what both want–the elevation of a faux controversy over a few boxes of White House files into an election-defining battle.

It has taken over 80 years, but Hollywood finally got round to exonerating Neville Chamberlain for his malfeasance in Munich in 1938. Today’s media isn’t even waiting 80 hours to exonerate President Biden. They are already declaring this to be Biden’s finest hour.

We conservatives would say that what makes sense for a given family is best determined by the members of that family. If the best course is for a wife to choose to devote her time to caring for her children (and, not incidentally, her husband), it’s fine with us.  Liberals, however, are generally not so tolerant.

In the 2020 election,Donald Trump won around 18 percent of the Black male vote.  What accounts for Trump’s 2020 numbers? The usual explanation is economic. Black employment soared under Trump until the pandemic hit, so this explanation is quite plausible. As for Black men, some believe that Trump’s style — direct, aggressive, and macho — has appeal to this cohort.

Having brought out the big guns, the Pentagon is flailing…With the forces arrayed against him, Tucker Carlson is winning. What an utterly pathetic display by the authorities responsible for the defense of the United States.

Reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones is in effect running the Times as a law unto herself.

New York City is the center of the Wuhan epidemic in the United States, and in response to the virus, governors across the country have imposed shutdowns that might possibly be appropriate in New York, but are bonkers as applied to local conditions.

Just wait till the Trump campaign gets done with Joe Biden’s long track record of corruption and lies. They’re going to make Lee Atwater look like a Boy Scout, and make Democrats pine for the good old days of quality candidates like Mike Dukakis and Walter Mondale.

We will see an unknown number of preventable deaths due to the suspension of much non-COVID related health care. Those who die because of the shutdown of “non-essential” care, including a large number of surgeries, will never be counted, and their names will not make headlines. But they represent one more cost of the overreaction to the Wuhan virus.

Currently our economy is being decimated, not by a disease but by a series of governmental shutdown orders that have closed most businesses and resulted in millions of layoffs. These orders were based not on experience, but on models that we now know were wrong.

Someone has suggested that Joe Biden’s frequent video chats from his basement are meant to be “proof of life” evidence, because if he actually went silent for a few days speculation would build that he has COVID-19.

Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders debated last night on CNN. The opening topic was, of course, the Wuhan coronavirus.

There is little doubt that China is rebounding faster than one would have predicted a few weeks ago. This is good news for the American economy and bad news for those Democrats hoping for a recession that will enable them to regain the White House.

It has exposed the frailty of the Communist Chinese regime, which reportedly is now sending some of the one million Uyghurs they have been holding in concentration camps to factories that have been vacated on account of the virus. No doubt Tom Friedman and other Democratic advocates for the Communist regime will hail this as one more sign of the superiority of autocratic states.
