Kurt Schlichter: Ole Grandpa Badfinger has made a choice, and it was more complicated than his usual choice of what flavor of mush he’s having for breakfast. He had to choose a vice-presidential running mate, and as people who are smarter than me about such things have observed, he had no good choices. And yet he still made the crappiest one.

For Journalists, History Started Yesterday
For too many of these left-wing teleprompter readers and Democratic Party stenographers, history just started yesterday. For instance, MSNBC anchor Katy Tur is known not for her depth of knowledge on important issues, but her basic ignorance of things that happened in her lifetime is disturbing.
The Tide Turns Toward Trump
Kurt Schlichter: It’s looking good for Trump and the Republicans again. The victory most of us patriots expect is coming clearly into focus as Biden becomes clearly more unfocused…And who are the people saying, “I’m really excited by the dynamic possibilities of a Joe Biden presidency!” except the marketing guys at Ensure and Depends?
The Creepy Old Weirdo in the Basement Will Never Debate Trump
There are a few safe bets in life – the sun will rise in the East, the mainstream media will tongue-bathe the Dems, the Never Trump sissies of the Ahoy crew will die alone, forgotten, and unloved – but there is no safer bet than on Joe Biden not taking the debate stage with Donald Trump.
Obama’s Insane Funeral Speech
Just when we think Democrats have reached rock bottom, former President Barack Obama opens his mouth, then hands Democrats a shovel. That Obama was not struck by lightning for all the lies he told (in church, no less) during his July 30 funeral speech for Rep. John Lewis is a testament to God’s patience and grace.
John Lewis Funeral Was a Political Event
Traditionally, funerals are supposed to serve at least three purposes: honor the life of the deceased, comfort those who mourn his passing and preach a message about eternity and the brevity of life. Tradition was discarded during John Lewis’ funeral last week….There were allegations of voter suppression by Republicans and a comparison of Trump by former President Obama to segregationist, George Wallace.
Time for Tough Love for the Euroweenies
Kurt Schlichter: For too long we have been taken advantage of by Teutonic freeloaders who were more than happy to cut their defense spending to the bone while allowing us to make up the difference. The Germans ended conscription, let their once-formidable military rust, and refused to keep their promise to put a measly 2% of their mammoth GDP into protecting their own country.
Good Riddance to Drudge
Drudge was the only game in town for a long time, now he’s not. You don’t need a clearing house for buried news nuggets, there are countless conservative sites doing original reporting on those nuggets that makes him almost irrelevant. Nothing can be hidden anymore.
To Hell with Professional Sports
Derek Hunter: If I want to be preached to, I’ll call a priest, not millionaires who play a game for a living. If I want to learn something, I’ll read a book, not seek out the “feelings” of someone in a profession known for having proxies take their classes for them. And if I want a distraction from daily life, I’ll practice self-dentistry before I give these pampered narcissists a second of my time.
The Dems Declare a Jew Ban
Anyone concerned with Jews and Israel should be horrified by the Democrats’ newly released 2020 platform. It directly threatens the Jewish state, employs double-talk calculated to stoke antagonism between the American left and Israel, and pays passing lip-service to opposing antisemitism.
The Covid-Infected Are Fleeing Mexico for U.S. Hospitals, Proving Trump’s Point
America and its leaders need to know the extent to which Mexico coronavirus imports are filling U.S. hospitals so they can counter the problem with the correct cocktail of policies. After all, what good does it do only to restrict drinking in American bars and frolicking on beaches when significant numbers of those hospitalized got infected beyond the reach of such policies, in Mexico, under that country’s unique circumstances?
Enough Whining About Trump’s Mean Tweets
Kurt Schlichter: I love Trump’s tweeting, from his eccentric grammar to his wacky capitalization, from his occasional hilarious typos to his caustic venom when he’s in full effect mode. I love how he uses his tweets to seize and set the narrative, and I love watching the debate suddenly become not, say, if gropey Grandpa Badfinger is senile but just how demented he is.
Progressive Policies Wreck Everything
John Stossel: Minneapolis Democrats brag that they recycle most everything. They have a plan to stop climate change. They tell landlords to whom they must rent. They will force employers to pay every worker $15 an hour. Despite such policies, meant to improve life for minorities and the poor, the Minneapolis income gap between whites and Blacks is the second-highest in the country.
What a Second American Civil War Would Look Like
This war will be waged by far-left radicals and their deep-state puppet masters. For them, civilian casualties and massacres will not be moral evils, but merely part and parcel of their larger plan to “reconstruct” America. Their objective is simple: overthrow our constitutional order, destroy our way of life, and deprive us of our freedom, our liberties, our property, and our honor.
It’s Time to Shame the Covid-19 Liars
It’s time to rebuke the media, the politicians, the bureaucrats, and the Karens, especially if they peddle hysteria instead of truth, and bondage instead of freedom.
Most Trump Supporters Can’t Wait to Vote for Him
David Limbaugh: Trump supporters realize we’re in a war for the survival of the country — a war we didn’t start and one we’ll lose if we don’t fight back with every fiber of our being. We want him to counter the violent, revolutionary left at every turn.
Time for Trump to Start Kicking Aspiration
Kurt Schlichter: Trump has one weapon he has yet to unleash: he Reaganesque optimism. Things are a mess, and the Democrats are doing everything they can to make them messier. They are holding onto their precious pangolin pandemic panic like Brian Stelter grips a pie, ferociously fighting to keep hope dying by denying our kids school and millions of us a livelihood, all to eek out a win in November.
Townhall’s Exclusive Interview Tuesday with Trump
During an interview with Townhall at the White House Tuesday, President Donald Trump warned the 2020 election could be a “fraud” and “totally rigged” if Democrat governors move forward with massive mail-in-ballot voting schemes.
Tolerant Liberals Sure Hate Jews
The left claims to be against hate, but they aren’t. They use it, they foment it, they direct it. Liberals manufacture it and scream about it at the top of their lungs when it suits their needs, but when it comes to Jewish people, they’re blind, deaf, and mute.
Why You Should Be Optimistic About Trump Winning
Kurt Schlichter: I know a significant number of folks who did not support Trump in 2016 but who are doing so now, especially since there is no Democrat alternative that doesn’t involve turning the White House into a commie freak show.
There’s Nothing Depressing About Americans Buying More Guns
Seeing gun stores cleared of inventory is a good thing. To all the new gun owners out there: Welcome to the family! We are thrilled to have you and hope you encourage others to join our ranks.
This Is a Great Opportunity to Destroy Academia
Kurt Schlichter: Academia today is a pack of rabid reds, and we need to put it down like Old Yeller….This entire wokeness idiocy is the result of hack academics peddling half-baked theories that justify the consolidation of elite power at the expense of those of us who don’t live on the diploma dole.
NBC’s Eye-Rolling Newsroom Shakeup
The company aspires to achieve two concrete goals: that 50% of the News organization employees be women and 50% of the total workforce be people of color…This confirms that the whole NBC/MSNBC newsgroup is focused on activism over journalism. They’re more concerned about making sure they push the typical Democratic talking points instead of reporting the news.
Treat Covid as the Local Crisis It Is
For the nervous Nellies who don’t have underlying conditions, screaming about how we’re all going to die if we don’t keep everything shut down, you can all stay home. You are staying home anyway. Stop trying to punish the rest of us who aren’t afraid.
