Trump vs. Sessions
It is truly unfortunate that President Trump and Attorney General Sessions don’t have a better working relationship. Jeff Sessions was the first senator to publicly endorse Donald Trump and he is a solid conservative.
Cohen and Mueller
For the last few months I have not been the most popular member of our local Donald Trump fan club. It’s not because I think Trump is a flawed individual or because I cringe at times when reading his tweets. All the members are in sync on those aspects. We are all also aligned on our assessment of Trump’s performance. We are thrilled at his polices and in awe of what he has actually accomplished in the face of unprecedented Democrat/media obstruction and resistance.
You’re Fired!
If Omarosa Manigault Newman was a dog — and who’s to say she’s not? — she’d be the kind that bites the hand that feeds her. Frankly, I have no idea why Donald Trump decided that of all the people in the world, he would bestow such favors on her. First, he gave her a platform on his TV show, “The Apprenticeship,” where, I’ve heard, she made a name for herself as a backstabber, and then gave her a job in his administration as an advisor, although I can’t imagine what sort of advice she could possibly provide.

Trump Should Come Clean
If it wasn’t obvious before, it should be now: President Donald Trump is in an impeachment fight.
Purging the Church’s Predatory Priests
Am I the only Catholic who thinks the church needs to consider getting rid of the old guard — all the way up to the Pope?
Dershowitz vs. Mueller
The airwaves in the past 48 hours have been full of speculation about the impeachment of President Trump. MSNBC scored its highest ratings ever Tuesday night because the Left is convinced that Trump is on the verge of being impeached and frogmarched out of the White House.
Oprah Shouts for Abortion
Over the years, Oprah Winfrey has seemingly evolved into America’s mom. After her TV career, she sounds like an evangelist preaching a feminist substitute to replace religion in her monthly Oprah Magazine.
Democrats Better Off Playing by the Rules Than Denouncing the Rules
When you lose a game, particularly a game you had good reason to expect you’d win, do you try to figure out how to play better? Or is your first reaction to demand changes in the rules?
There Is Nothing ‘Illegitimate’ About the Brett Kavanaugh Nomination
Perhaps one day a court will find that Donald Trump conspired with his personal lawyer Michael Cohen to pay nondisclosure agreements meant to silence his mistresses.
Collapse of the Career Politicians
The prevailing consensus among political analysts in the United States about Donald Trump’s victory in 2016 centers on the idea that career politicians in America have, over time, become divorced from the realities of day to day existence in America.
The Democrats’ Latest Ploy to Obstruct Kavanaugh’s Confirmation
Democrats figure that if they can’t yet get enough impeachment traction from the Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort cases, they’ll at least be able to delay Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.
Imperial Me
An avid fan of President Trump, she carried a red Make America Great Again hat in the backseat of her car. But when she was asked to render a verdict on Paul Manafort, she voted guilty.
Trump’s Self-Interest vs. the Public Interest
The president of the United States will not talk to special counsel Robert Mueller because his lawyers want to prevent him from walking — or, rather, talking — into a perjury trap.
The Catholic Church Needs a #MeToo Moment — and It Should Start Here in Washington
Pope Francis’s letter to the Catholic faithful this week was remarkable in that the Holy Father apologized not only for the sexual abuses carried out by Roman Catholic priests but also for the coverup of that abuse carried out by Roman Catholic bishops.

Calculating the Tax Cut
Last December’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act didn’t come wrapped in shiny paper and a bow, but it might as well have. It’s like a Christmas gift that keeps on giving.
Manafort & Cohen
By now you have heard about the verdict against Paul Manafort and the guilty plea by Michael Cohen. Big Media is in full lynch-mob mode.
Trump Haters and Their Double Standards
When President Donald Trump revoked the security clearance of former CIA head John Brennan, more than a dozen former high-level intelligence officials fired off a letter that said the President’s decision was “ill-considered,” “inappropriate” and “deeply regrettable.”
In Tennessee Senate Race, a Pistol-Packing Republican vs. an Oatmeal Democrat
The easternmost bit of Tennessee is east of Atlanta, the westernmost bit is west of New Orleans, and all of this horizontal state is the epicenter of 2018 politics.
The Pantsuit That Cried Wolf
If you’ve ever wondered how Russia became America’s most fearsome enemy, long after that country gave up Communism, gulags, forced starvations and mass murder (all of which liberals were cool with), the answer is: This crackpot idea came from the same woman who blamed a “vast right-wing conspiracy” for Monica Lewinsky.
