Trump’s Secret WeaponsMy prognosticating powers were going great for a while, anyway. As I correctly thought months ago, Donald Trump's bogus finances and his complete indifference to organization would undermine his chances in the fight for loyal delegates going to C...

Big Labor, Big ProblemsAmid all the election hoopla this year there is an amazing story about to break, almost completely ignored by the liberal media. The country’s largest labor union, the Teamsters, is about to have its largest pension fund, the Central States, go...

Indicting Mrs. Boss HoggThe FBI is on a winning streak. They haven’t looked this good since the heyday of Efrem Zimabalist, Jr. Apparently, they just cracked open the unbreakable Apple iPhone. In my own neck of the woods, they recently indicted a top...

Ignore the pundits; this one's going all the way to ClevelandDon't you just hate it when sports announcers insist "it's over" during a ball game or playoff series when, in fact, the action has only just begun? Even today, I still remember Howard Cosell and company being particularly gui...

College is already free, BernieAt the end of the movie Animal House we learn the perennial student-slob character played John Belushi went on to success as a U.S. Senator. I only just realized this was based on a real-life person: none other than Vermont's own Bernie San...

Trump's cash crunchCount me in with those who suspect that Donald Trump is no billionaire, but merely a poseur who may never have recovered from his many big-deal failures, as AT and others have already noted. Ted Cruz is finally bringing this idea up, but it...

Explaining the Republican blowout in KentuckyHow overwhelming was the Republican landslide last week in Kentucky? Big-time liberals are so desperate for an excuse that they are trotting out the rigged voting machine fantasy. To be sure, Kentucky is not the most typical state ...

Sorry Ann, Jack Kemp was RightAnn Coulter had a nasty little piece of historical revisionism in her column on Jack Kemp and Paul Ryan, proving that now more than ever we conservatives need to understand the real political history of how Republicans lost out on the Hispanic a...

Ozone Shultz rides againNo matter whom you like for president, I think most would agree it’s a good thing so many “outsiders” are getting a real chance to compete for the Republican nomination. Sadly, the same can’t be said for the top tier of ...

Kentucky Tea Party triumphA year ago Sen. Mitch McConnell was basking in a convincing U.S. Senate primary victory, explaining he had "crushed the tea party" by beating political newcomer, Louisville entrepreneur, and army veteran Matt Bevin. But in a shocking 4-way ...

Huck was right, Will is wrongHopefully Mike Huckabee sticks to his guns of late, because he is very much right on a legal issue more Americans need to understand: the limits of judges under our Constitution. Huckabee recently complained on Hugh Hewitt’s show that any...

The Clintons versus the Hobbs ActAT was right on top of the Clinton money scandal, explaining recently that author Peter Schweizer is properly citing the Gov. McDonnell precedent for gift-taking criminality even where no actual quid pro quo is proven. Not that anyone in t...

Paul Clears Big HurdleSenators Paul and Rubio have a problem running for both president and re-election to the Senate in 2016, as Kentucky and Florida election laws complicate running for two federal offices. Since Florida has a March presidential primary and an August re...

No Castro payday comingYou have to hand it to President Obama. With his sell-out diplomacy to Communist Cuba, he has in effect “hit for the cycle,” doing a solid for every last one of the world’s most unsavory dictatorships. What’s left ...

The End of Chavismo in Venezuela?President Obama is so busy doing nothing about Crimea and Ukraine, he has no time to make a show of doing nothing about the crisis in Venezuela. That may be just as well, since it appears the end may finally be coming for the “Chavista” r...

O'Donnell's TreasonYou have to hand it to MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell. On a cable channel full of sanctimonious lefties, this guy consistently outdoes his colleagues with smug, nauseating, self-righteous bunkum. Last week was a great example, where he pompo...

Why Rush Immigration?In 2007, Congress killed the last big attempt at immigration reform, thanks in part to the effortless double-dealing of Sen. Barack Obama. Since then, not much has happened. This year however, we are told the world will pretty much come to an end if ...

Looks Like A Job For Marco RubioGood news finally in Latin America- Hugo Chavez is dead. This will trigger a special election 30 days hence, and one hopes his successor will either want, or be forced, to end Venezuela's absurd subsidies to Communist Cuba. If that happens, the Cas...

Barely Good Enough for ObamaIn the main, I don't think the GOP did so badly in 2012. The House was retained, and Mitt Romney ran very closely in all the battleground states. As a candidate, he was excellent in debate, on the stump and raising money. His team in Boston sadly was...
