Everything was coming up roses for Michael Bloomberg — until the billionaire made his first appearance last week at a Democratic debate.
Poor old James Carville is in the dumps. He doubts that Crazy Bernie can beat President Trump in November. He appeared on MSNBC last week and said that anyone who thought Bernie would turn out more voters and in sufficient numbers to beat Mr. Trump was “a fool.” Well, on that point he might be right.
You have heard how China is the “sick man” of the world? Well, Sen. Bernie Sanders is the “sick man” of the Democrat Party.
Baseball games played to empty stands — and not just at Marlins Park. Airlines largely grounded. Restaurants empty — though Grubhub deliveries are booming as hungry people fear leaving their homes. This is the summer that quite possibly awaits the United States should the coronavirus continue its seemingly inexorable march across the globe.
The only thing that can be said about former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s first appearance with his fellow Democratic presidential candidates in Las Vegas Wednesday night was that Mike did not get it done, as his campaign ads promise he will if he becomes president.
Why are wealthy left-wing donors across the country, the abortion industry and national gun-control groups more interested in your local school board and city council races than most of the people who live in your own town?
More and more Virginians are finding West Virginia’s “welcome” sign enticing, as their individual and constitutional rights are being trampled on.
The other day a “conservative activist” was mobbed at Ohio University and everyone involved is in the wrong, but no one will tell you that.
The Framers of the Constitution understood that free trade among the states, based on mutual recognition of differences in policies and natural conditions, would maximize consumer satisfaction and the wealth of the people.
After decades as an instructor for college STEM courses, I am beyond despair over the potential of college students, supposedly our best and brightest, to continue defending and building upon the oldest democracy on Earth: America.
The long-awaited, spring training-opening World Series rematch between the virtuous Washington Nationals and the villainous Houston Astros arrived Saturday night like you might expect a typical opening exhibition season game - meaninglessly.
America stands at a crossroads. Freedom -- or not. If we can't trust our intel and law enforcement, whom can we trust? But more than that, America's government is in turmoil. America's culture is in a tailspin. Yet: Americans, if enough want, could put a sure stop to the prancing of the wolves at our door.
For whatever reason, the current Democratic field isn't entertaining and certainly doesn't seem to have much fun. Their parties, like their debates, must be dismal affairs.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren's most controversial and dangerous are being advanced by other far-left and even "mainstream" candidates.
Whether it's Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, Michael Bloomberg or Joe Biden, the country will get a choice between a defender of the status quo ante -- Donald Trump -- and a radical vision to shake American capitalism to its foundations.
The New York Times just released a report about the intelligence community's concerns that Russia is winding into gear to reelect President Donald Trump this November. Make way for the Russia Collusion Two, same as the first: all lies, lots of impeachable possibilities.
What do official Washington and City Hall think of Spingarn these days? Not much.
Money can buy almost anything, but it can't buy safety from the arrows of the envious. That's the takeaway from televised debate crossfire that a six-pack of bitter 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls trained on one another, and on a billionaire newcomer just entering the race. It's hard to pick a winner out of the chaos, but the losers are obvious: Michael Bloomberg and the American people.
After watching the blithering and blather of the Democratic candidates for president in Las Vegas, I am convinced there was zero leadership potential on that stage. Michael Bloomberg was dense and unprepared, but the most outrageous candidate of all was Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose mindless policies, ill-defined and opaque, would financially overwhelm American society with endless promises of free goods and services for everybody — except, that is, the wealthy, who would undoubtedly leave this country before the destruction of the Sanders policies were finalized.
Unfortunately for Michael Bloomberg, what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas ("Tom Steyer: Sounded like Mike Bloomberg was running in the 'wrong primary,'" Web, Feb. 20).
"Like grave robbers opening King Tut's tomb, Congress can't wait to get its hands on America's retirement account assets," the Wall Street Journal warned taxpayers last year.
Taxpayer-funded college wouldn't actually be as equitable as progressives claim.
Those who insist America observe these celebrations, commemorating the diverse identities of the groups is far more important than the individual accomplishments of those being celebrated.
"The Splendid and the Vile" tells of a resonant time when a ship-of-state flounders through chartless seas with a feckless harlequin on the bridge while citizen-passengers argue and anguish.
As a people, we've seldom been more divided. And since that doesn't look about to change, maybe it's time to look at the possibility of secession. Nearly every country is staring down a secession movement, so why should we think we're exempt? After all, 1776 was our own secession from Britain.
Both the United States and the Taliban have tentatively agreed on a peace deal that will take place at the end of the month if a period of reduced violence as confidence building measures between now and then holds.
Schools in America should provide an objective view of American history.
President Donald Trump has named Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, as the new acting director of national intelligence, and now the anti-Trumping faction is going nuts, claiming Grenell does not possess the necessary requirements to successfully serve in the position. Hmm. But Leon Panetta, ex-CIA chief, did?
In Case You Missed It: The latest Democratic debate involved a bit of back-and-forth between Mike Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders about the perils of politicking in America on a communist platform -- and all the Democrats go, what's wrong with that? This is where the Democratic Party has gone: defending communism in America.
