The Bloodless Coup of Joe Biden Will Not Work Out Well for Democrats
The Democratic Party ruling class's bloodless coup of their own democratically elected presidential nominee, who also happens to be the nominal sitting president of the United States, is one of the most astonishing political developments of my lifetime. Joe Biden, though clearly physically and mentally impaired, has sought the presidency for ...Read more
The Chosen One
I think it was 2019 when I first interacted with Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio). I had just finished my judicial clerkship and begun my career in media. J.D., just a few years older than me, was already a bestselling author and a tech venture capitalist. We were both interested in some of the energetic and ascendant elements of the Trump-era Right, ...Read more
Democrats Only Have Themselves to Blame for Their Joe Biden Mess
It has been two weeks since palpably senile President Joe Biden delivered the single worst performance ever given in a presidential debate, and the fallout continues to tear the Democratic Party asunder.
For two weeks, most of the left-wing corporate media, joined by a small but growing number of elected Democratic officials, have desperately...Read more
They Lied to You
Lying is certainly nothing new in politics. It is said that prostitution is the world's oldest profession, but politics is assuredly the dirtiest -- filthier even than garbageman, mortician or, well, the world's oldest profession itself.
Former President Bill Clinton (while we're on the topic of sexual promiscuity) perjured ...Read more
How Conservatives Can Finally Get Judicial Nominations Right
The current Supreme Court term is not quite over yet, but conservatives have already suffered notable defeats in cases involving Big Tech censorship and free speech, states' lawful ability to proscribe abortion, the ubiquity of the abortion pill (mifepristone), the constitutionality of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the possibility ...Read more
Joe Biden's Executive Amnesty Is Illegal, Unjust and Self-Defeating
During the Constitution ratification debates between the Federalists (who supported ratification) and the Anti-Federalists (who opposed it), one of the most strident areas of disagreement was the extent to which the proposed position of president of the United States was actually an ersatz king. Leading Anti-Federalists thought the new ...Read more
Democrats Will Not Benefit From Their Own Republic-Destabilizing Lawfare
Nearly 14 months after the first of four unprecedented criminal prosecutions against former President Donald Trump commenced in earnest, the Democrat-lawfare complex got its man: The Soviet show trial in "Justice" Juan Merchan's dingy New York City courtroom produced its preordained "guilty" verdict.
It is perhaps hackneyed to observe that, ...Read more
Post-Trump Verdict, Will the American Right Finally Wake Up?
Like many others in the punditry space, I am a lawyer by background. I practiced law at a major global law firm. I clerked for a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit. I have published multiple pieces of formal legal scholarship on constitutional issues. I regularly lecture at law schools and present to professional lawyer ...Read more
Democrats Are Stuck With Joe Biden as Their Presidential Nominee
President Joe Biden is currently losing the 2024 presidential race to former President Donald Trump. If the election were held tomorrow, Trump would win -- likely convincingly. The fact that this is increasingly obvious, and that Biden finds himself fighting an uphill battle to prolong his already ancient political career, has precipitated ...Read more
Will Democrats Pay a Price for Their Cynical, Crumbling Lawfare Strategy?
President Joe Biden, who wears bespoke sneakers to prevent embarrassing collapses and whose command of the English language rivals that of most kindergarteners, is in bad political shape. Uncle Joe's reelection campaign faces an uphill climb, given his disastrous handling of the economy -- including a formal recession and four-decade-high ...Read more
The Making of a Banana Republic
It is a presidential election year and a leading candidate for president of the United States, who also happens to be a former president of the United States, is currently a criminal defendant chained to a dingy courtroom four days of the week -- time that he should be spending interacting with voters out on the campaign trail.
That's ...Read more
Joe Biden, Dearborn Shahid, Commits Political Suicide via Hamas Appeasement
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's ill-fated 2024 presidential campaign was much criticized for being "too online." But Democrats are no less prone to fall into that same trap. Now-Vice President Kamala Harris's 2020 presidential campaign, which generated considerable initial buzz before it abruptly sputtered, was infamous for listening too much to ...Read more
