President Trump’s legacy endangered by Donald Trump

Donald Trump never took advice from anyone. He treated staff horribly, men like Jeff Sessions, Mick Mulvaney and Mark Meadows. He had the best vice president that I have seen in my lifetime.

Expect gaffe-prone plagiarist Joe Biden to provide plenty of laughs

Linda Greenhouse was once The New York Times' reporter for the U.S. Supreme Court. Now I take it she is in retirement, though she apparently comes out of retirement from time to time to heave bouquets to President-elect Joe Biden.

This presidential election reeks of voter fraud

I have been on the fence. Ever since the election on Nov. 3, I have been on the fence. I am prepared to accept the will of the people, and only in the election of 1960 was there evidence of a presidential election being stolen by either party.

How to save the Democratic Party: Revive the term ‘liberal’ and leave ‘socialist’ behind

Do leftist Democrats really think life would be more pleasant without cops around?

Without Tuesday's big story to write about, what am I to do? Well, given the mobs in the streets that have been forming for weeks, I am sure the police will be active. I hope no one is hurt, especially among the police.

Donald Trump is going to win

I concluded early on that Donald would win in 2016. I conclude in 2020 that he will win again. I say this based on observing the facts.

Two weeks left and plenty of buffoonery to go in the presidential election

Two weeks from today we shall know who is to be our next president. Or perhaps we will not know who is to be our next president two weeks from today. It might take three or four weeks.

Sleepy Creepy Joe Biden should not be questioning President Trump’s truthfulness

If I were a Democratic wheeler-dealer sitting atop the most left-wing major party in American history, I would be a little bit nervous.

Donald Trump steals Democrats’ political libido

Mr. Trump has gotten more done in his first term in office than any predecessor. The only one who comes close is Ronald Reagan, but then he was originally a Democrat and may have had a bit of the Democratic political libido when he left the party.
