In politics, there’s nothing more fun than seeing two of your opponents tear one another apart. So I hope you’re enjoying the war between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

Trump campaigned on ending the “regime change wars,” as Tulsi Gabbard calls them, and getting us out of the Middle East. We don’t have enough ground troops for an invasion. The rumors of bringing back the draft are just that. But the Iranians know Trump could destroy their oil refineries and devastate their economy even more than his sanctions already have.

What a year! It ended with something amazing. We saw right in front of us a word change meaning within hours. On the morning of December 18, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted, “The impeachment of a president is a solemn and serious moment for our country.” Just a few hours later, when the House actually “impeached” President Trump, the word was twisted to also mean: a seemingly serious action, but really a joke, as in my headline to this article.

It was strange timing for the Christianity Today editorial, “Trump Should Be Removed from Office.” It came out just after he was impeached and a week before Christmas, but what no looks like weeks or months before the Senate votes on it.

Although they’re idiotic, tyrannical and boring, there’s humor in the Impeachment Follies: 1. Why hasn’t Greta Thunberg intervened to remove Trump and replace him with herself?  Time magazine, long connected to the CIA, just proclaimed her Queen of the Galaxy. It quotes her marching orders to her subjects, “I want you to panic!” She replaced Queen Lea Organa, who died in the last P.C. Star Wars movie, but might come back in the next one, out December 20, “Star Wars XVIIXMCDMMVIIILMNOPQ: Jar Jar Abrams’ P.C. Guide to the Galaxy and Why Trump Should Be Impeached.”  2. Among the New Republic’s...

The Voice of America is part of the U.S. government’s Ministry of Truth. The Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 prohibited it from directly broadcasting to the American people. It did some good during the Cold War, with programs aimed at those behind the Iron Curtain and elsewhere. With the end of the Cold War in 1991 and the rise of the Web c. 1994, it should have been abolished. But as Milton Friedman said, there’s nothing so permanent as a temporary government agency. The National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 gave the VOA the OK to broadcast directly to Americans, supposedly...

For some reason Judge Andrew Napolitano is obsessed with pushing flimsy reasons to impeach President Trump. He gave Reason mag a list of five reasons to do so. But that’s “Loserthink,” as Scott Adams explains in his new book of that name. If you can’t come up with one good reason for something, such as impeachment, then it’s just a “laundry list,” with every item weak.  The judge even started out saying “three or four” reasons, then ended up with five. He’s a self-parody out of the old Monty Python “Spanish Inquisition” sketch, in which the inquisitors kept increasing the...
