Being a bit of an eccentric in television interviews, of course, does not mean that she made up the story. But it certainly raises more questions about her reliability as a narrator as we try to evaluate her serious accusation as fairly as possible given the passage of time.

From Kavanaugh to E. Jean Carroll, a Straight Line of Incredulity
Somewhere along the way, between Harvey Weinstein’s downfall and Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony, sexual assault became just another political commodity. Carroll knows this. Perhaps that’s why she hasn’t come forward until now.
Restricting Abortion Is Actually Good for Business
Companies fail without customers. Economics 101 suggests that the larger the pool of people from which to pull, the more product and profit will be produced. And abortion doesn’t add people to the population; it only subtracts.
Why Does CNN’s Don Lemon Fear Lost Freedom Under Trump But Not Sanders, Harris or AOC?
Tom Rogan: It is odd that Lemon ignores the ramifications for freedom of politicians who propose to take vastly more privately held money into government hands, who propose far greater control over the economy and society, and who are quite explicit about wanting to legislate in overt contravention of established constitutional rights.
Congress Shirks Its Duty at the Southern Border
The Trump administration is doing just about everything it can to slow the flood of undocumented Mexicans and Central Americans coming to the U.S. and claiming asylum. But alleviating our growing border crisis is impossible unless Congress changes our immigration laws.
Biden Once Voted to Restore Citizenship to Confederate President Jefferson Davis
The former vice president, 76, was a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee that unanimously approved a bill in 1977. The measure was sent to the full Senate, where it was approved without dissent and later signed into law by President Jimmy Carter. A year earlier, Biden had been among senators who voted to restore citizenship to Robert E. Lee, the Confederate general.
1 Million “Make America Great Again” Hats Sold
President Trump’s red “Make America Great Again” hat is still hot. Now, on the verge of breaking the million mark for the $25 ball cap, the campaign is raffling off the official 1 millionth hat in a fundraising contest.
Many British Anti-Trump Protestors Were Just Anti-American
Even it comes to presidential visits to Britain, many of these protesters aren’t just angry about a particular president, but rather they hate America in general. Every major U.S. state visit to Britain in recent memory has met protests from the far-left. This includes Barack Obama’s 2011 state visit to the U.K.
Bernie Campaigned for Marxist Party in Reagan Era
His personal files from his time as mayor of Burlington, from 1981 to 1989, archived at the University of Vermont, show that he supported and campaigned for the communist Socialist Workers Party and maintained a close relationship with its senior members.
Democrats Don’t Want to Investigate the Investigators. They Must Have Something to Hide
The conclusion of Mueller’s investigation left Democrats empty-handed, and so now Trump has given his attorney general the authority to investigate and declassify material that could explain to the public how all of this happened…Sounds reasonable, unless you’re listening to the media and Democrats who very apparently want something to remain hidden.
Democrats’ Impeachment Talk Impeaches Their Own Credibility
Democrats talking about impeaching President Trump are so absurdly premature as to convict themselves of extreme political hackery.
The Left Is Mainstreaming Palestinian Marxist Terrorists
A disturbing trend of open support for the Palestinian Marxist-Leninist terrorist group the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, or PFLP, has emerged on the political Left amid rising anti-Semitism that hides behind the label of anti-Zionism.
NPR’s Coverage of Abortion Is Pregnant with Bias
As a reminder of how obscenely biased taxpayer-supported National Public Radio really is, see the notice its honchos sent to its staff last week about how to use terminology with regard to abortion.
Comey Is Just Telling the Media What They Want to Hear
No one should take anything former FBI Director James Comey says seriously. The proof is in the national media eagerly promoting every dumb, opportunistic thing he says about President Trump.
NY Times Story on Trump’s Billion-Dollar Tax Write-Off Was Told 15 Years Ago on “The Apprentice”
On Jan. 8, 2004, at the top of the show’s very first episode, Trump laid out a summarized version of the same story about himself that the Times so proudly ran Tuesday.
Dems Ditch Duties to Bash Barr
Senate Democrats, whose collusion narrative has been exposed as delusional by special counsel Robert Mueller, spent Wednesday trying to inflict pain on William Barr, laughably accusing him of a “cover-up.” They were incanting from a script cobbled together from a sloppy or tendentious reading of a Washington Post article, the timing of which appears calculated to reinforce the Democrats’ relentless campaign against Trump.
Biden Is No Friend of the Taxpayer
Joe Biden fashions himself a champion of the middle class, but his long record as a tax-hiking liberal does not match his supposed everyman persona.
Rusty Gaffe-Machine Joe Biden Enters the Race
Former Vice President Joe Biden wants to remove the “former” and “vice” from his title. Good luck. He is going to need it.
Elizabeth Warren Is the Trump Gift That Keeps on Giving
Desperately seeking momentum in the crowded 2020 Democratic presidential primary race, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., keeps offering free new deals. But the more Warren embraces leftist statism, the more she builds President Trump his road to reelection. It’s political moderation, stupid.
Mueller Report Contains Claim Russia Taped Bill Clinton Having Sex with Monica Lewinsky
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s report mentions a claim that Russians recorded President Bill Clinton having phone sex with White House intern Monica Lewinsky — but the reference was redacted from the version released to the public. The redaction is likely to anger Republicans, because the allegation has been known since at least 2001 and the Mueller report’s reference to a claim that President Trump watched prostitutes urinating in a Moscow hotel room was not struck out.
Only Fracking and Nuclear Power Can Save Planet Earth
Nuclear technology is advancing quickly. If global warming is the big problem, then there would be no excuse for the U.S. not to adopt it on a grand scale.
Media Credibility Also on the Line When Mueller Report Is Released
Once the report comes out, after the initial blast of news, media critics will be able to go back and look at the nearly two years of coverage about the Mueller investigation and determine whether stories based on anonymous sources were accurate. If not, it will be another major blow to the media’s credibility, and a boost to Trump’s efforts to dismiss every negative story about him as “fake news.”
Trump’s Lies and Insults Pale Next to Truman’s, Jackson’s and Roosevelt’s
Trump is far from the first politician to use political insults. His predecessors also bad-mouthed their opponents, albeit in a more intellectual manner.
Pete Buttigieg’s Father Was a Marxist Professor Who Lauded the Communists
The elder Buttigieg was best known as one of the world’s leading scholars of Gramsci. Gramsci thought cultural change was critical to dismantling capitalism. Nevertheless, although critical of certain aspects of Bolshevism, Gramsci endorsed Vladimir Lenin’s “maximalist” politics and identified within the Leninist faction of the Italian communists.
