Give it to Bernie Sanders for pushing policies almost all top Democrats now advocate. He also did that in 2016, when Hillary stole the nomination from him.  Now it’s immigration. The Nation’s article put it well, from the Left’s perspective, with the subhead a summary: “Bernie’s Immigration Plan Is Good: The senator’s newly released plan—to halt deportations, abolish ICE, create a path to citizenship, and boost worker protections—marks a shift not only in Democratic policy but even from his own prior positions.” Just a couple years ago, Bernie still was an old worker-oriented Marxist, like a 1930s Wobblie. As the...

A president in office can do only two main things; any more, and he divides his attention and gets nothing done, like Jimmy Carter, who corrected the grammar of the papers submitted to him. For example, Reagan revived the economy and stared down the Soviet Union in the Cold War Endgame. Trump’s two things are ending, or at least reducing, the foreign wars and expensive global empire; and getting control of our borders. The Deep State doesn’t want either.

President Trump’s opponents in the military are using the classic language of military strongmen who overthrow republican government.

Now we have the spectacle of an unknown “whistleblower” from the CIA trying to take out the president of the United States over the whole Ukraine nonsense. Which isn’t surprising, given that the intelligence services were taken over in the Obama years by far-left democrats, including John “Red” Brennan, James Comey and James Clapper. When their beloved Hillary lost the election, the became enraged, along with their factotums in the media, and have launched multiple assaults on Trump.

Poor kid. I feel sorry for Greta, the Swedish girl brainwashed into shilling for the globalist scam known as “climate change,” screeching how we’re all gonna die. When she should be worried about the Scandinavian equivalent of high-school proms. And it’s not because I’m 1/8th Swedish.

For some odd reason theoretical debate among conservatives has devolved into the discussions between David French and Sohrab Ahmari. Yet both are gun controllers – therefore not real conservatives. As I often say: Second Amendment, First Freedom. If you can’t own a gun to defend yourself and your family, you’re not free. What good is the rest of the Bill of Rights if you don’t have the arms, personally, to defend those rights? Ahmari, to use older terms, is supposed to be the more “social conservative” of the two. Yet social conservatism (contrasted with “strong defense” conservatism and “economic freedom”...

What do we do? My friends and I have been talking about it for a long time, especially out here in California, which is way farther down the road to ruin than the rest of America.  Although usually voting Republican since my first election in 1974, I long avoided joining the Party, except for brief periods to vote in the primaries for Pat Buchanan or Ron Paul. I prized being an “independent,” especially as I was a journalist. But in early 2015 I permanently jointed the Republican Party, to my friends quoting Rhett Butler, “Why? Maybe it’s because I’ve always...

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. Alexander Hamilton called the Supreme Court “the least dangerous branch” in Federalist 78. They key was Marbury v. Madison, which Alexander Bickel and others showed was based on dubious jurisprudence. But that case gave the court almost unlimited power to change the Constitution. A lawyer friend of mine told me his constitutional law professor taught the budding young Clarence Darrows, “The Constitution is what the Supreme Court says it is.” And in almost every case, the court follows what the Establishment Elite tell it to do. Joe Sobran used to point out how...
