Democrats are promising to blow the southern border wide open to every sick and poor person in Latin America the second they get the chance.

Those Trump supporters’ behavior was inexcusable, perhaps even criminal. And for a president to make light of such an attempt, as he did at his Pennsylvania rally, is outrageous. Such bullying behavior is not only beyond the pale of decent political action, but it also risked causing a serious accident.

Against leftist Democratic obstructionism (and, oft-times, smears), it is quite an accomplishment for McConnell to have held his focus and his colleagues together to confirm 220 such judges, including Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

It’s a common line that Trump campaigned only on darkness and carnage. But come to a Trump rally in Middle America, and you’ll start to wonder if he ever campaigned at all, or instead just held a series of parties.

If the president wins Pennsylvania, and that would mean he’d have a good chance at winning a second term, he might well owe his victory to his grassroots supporters’ work on the road. Jumping in their cars and trucks and inviting others to come along has heightened the enthusiasm in oil and gas country. Look for them to keep driving all the way to Election Day.

Trump cooled it down and is likely to reap a benefit for making it an easier experience to watch for those millions who tuned in a second time.

As Covid once again bears down on the population, and the campaign narrative going into the final days of the election, wobbly Trump voters want him to tell the country he is going to spend all his waking hours trying to beat this thing. Trump possesses a vigor that Biden lacks, and they want to see him put this advantage to work on something constructive.

If a lawsuit comes of the Toobin incident, he will be liable for the behavior, and Zoom will not. Let’s keep each responsible for their own junk.

There is no evidence that opening schools even pose a risk to older staff members or to the broader community.

There’s nothing wrong with refusing to vote. No politician is perfect, but you shouldn’t give anyone your vote unless they roughly approximate your values and you at least believe that they are fit for office. To do otherwise and just vote for voting’s sake is not “your civic duty.” It’s actually a bad thing.

It’s official: Facebook and Twitter have joined Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.

There are many reasons for a major journalistic examination of Biden, Inc., and all its tentacles. Pathetically late journalistic integrity is better than none at all.

It’s reasonable for everyone to take a step back and ask, “How did we end up here?” How did we go from we need to flatten the curve for the month of April, to “we are going to shut your business down in September and October if you decide to stay open?”

One important, under-noticed part of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s opening committee-hearing statement shows an admirable humility and empathy that puts to shame most of the bloviating senators opposing her.

The trash cans are located in Santa Monica and contained several dozen ballots, as well as other mail such as bank statements and bills. All of the mail was addressed to homes in the area.

With Biden’s promises of bipartisanship and his experience working across the aisle in the Senate, it is a troubling sign that his running mate doesn’t seem to have bothered to listen to the arguments that Trump and his supporters are making, nor respected them enough to offer a real rebuttal.

Vice President Mike Pence gave a strong debate performance on Wednesday, a performance his campaign desperately needed following a terrible week for the White House as well as President Trump’s wild performance at the presidential debate.

Her choice to downplay and dismiss the very real left-wing violence that swept the country after George Floyd’s death makes her guilty of the very charge she levied against Trump: “spreading lies to win.”

If the president is seriously ill, the public has a right to know about it. Unfortunately, the White House has created more questions than it’s given answers, leaving many to wonder what to trust. And the media, never slow to turn a drama into a crisis, has filled the vacuum with irresponsible speculation and sensationalism.

Trump on Saturday night posted a video offering an update on his health status, he says he’s feeling “much better,” but about 120 seconds in, he said what he and his surrogates should be screaming every day until Nov. 3. “This is America,” he said. “This is the most powerful country in the world. I can’t be locked up in a room upstairs and totally safe and just say hey, whatever happens, happens. I can’t do that. We have to confront problems. As a leader, you have to confront problems.”

Trump is at a higher risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19 than younger populations. He is also the president. Both elevate the seriousness of his positive test. It doesn’t merit media voices going all-in with warnings of a civilizational emergency.

The professional coronavirus hysterics in the media are naturally having vapors about President Trump and the first lady having been infected, because this is what happens when you don’t wear masks…But this isn’t about masks or social distancing. This is about yet another person who happened to catch an easily spread, airborne virus.

 More information is almost always preferable to less, even if it means watching two septuagenarians scream at each other for a couple of hours.

In all of his interruptions, Trump, despite his reputation for being a master at messaging over the TV medium, lost chances to damage Biden. He often set up attacks only to fall back into repeating phrases that didn’t communicate to outsiders what he was talking about.
