If Mike “MyPillow Guy” Lindell appears in the footnotes of this report I don’t know whether I am going to laugh or cry. 🙂 Here Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan at The New York Times: Hours after former President Donald...
Trump may be done-in by the political philosophy of federalism. Since this Georgia indictment is a state charge, not a federal indictment, Trump cannot pardon himself should he win in 2024. Ironically, it may not be Joe Biden, Merrick Garland,...
Donald Trump is now facing federal indictments in three different jurisdictions with a probable fourth indictment (Georgia) on its way. In case you missed it, yesterday Trump was indicted over efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Here are some of...
This time the indictment is for January 6th. (Still waiting on Georgia). CNN has some good coverage. The indictment is probably coming, perhaps in days. It looks like Trump is going to spend most of 2024 in court. Here is...
Mike Pence ran into an election denier at a Sioux City, Iowa Pizza Ranch. (As a north Jersey kid who is half Italian I can’t get my head around the idea of a “Pizza Ranch”–but I digress). She told Pence...

I am not sure if Brett Baier is Jim Craig of the 1980 Olympic team or Elvis Merzlikins of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Whatever the case, he has faced a lot of “bad pucks” over the years. Here is David...
I ran across this video today: And then I read David French’s recent column at The New York Times. A taste: On Tuesday evening, two news reports caught my attention. The first was an Emerson College poll of Republican primary voters in...
As I wrote last night in this post, Jenna Ellis rarely tweets without claiming that she is a great defender of truth. She has built a platform on defending Donald Trump and contesting the 2020 election and now she had...
It was all lies. Jenna Ellis is a former Liberty University representative, Colorado Christian University law professor, former host of a podcast titled “Just the Truth,” and a Trump election fraud lawyer who, along with Rudolph Giuliani, tried to overturn...
David French offers a theory at his New York Times column: Fox isn’t just the news hub of right-wing America, it’s a cultural cornerstone, and its business model is so successful that it’s more accurate to think of the rest...
I included this story in Sunday night’s odds and ends, but I wanted to call attention to it again. Here is Brian Stelter at The Atlantic; The other crucial metric Fox leaders were watching, of course, was the Nielsen ratings...
The January 6th Report is out. The House January 6th Committee has released dozens of interview transcripts and more are on the way. One of the transcripts released was an interview with Jenna Ellis, a member of the Colorado bar...
Here is Metaxas talking to Steve Deace of Glenn Beck’s website, The Blaze: In a strange historical rant, Deace says that Christianity survived for “1700 years” because it was “subversive” and refused to “bow to Caesar.” Perhaps this is true...
Of course they should have fell flat in the wake of the 2020 election as well. Here is Jack Shafer at Politico: The red wave wasn’t the only conspicuous no-show on Election Day. The so-called rising tide of political disinformation...
Back in September the conservative publisher Regnery pulled 2,000 Mules, the book version of Dinesh D’Souza’s election fraud documentary. (You may recall that D’Souza called Bill Barr an “overweight,” “largely immobile,” “fatso” after the former attorney general panned the documentary)....
The quote comes from New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman’s forthcoming book, Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America. Here is CNN: Former President Donald Trump repeatedly told aides in the days following his 2020 election...
Here is Mastriano on December 30, 2020: Watch: Some comments: This is what we mean by “Christian nationalism.” Providential history is one of the defining marks of Christian nationalism. Notice how Mastriano prays as if he understands God’s purposes in...
Perhaps the title of this post should have been, “When you lose Regnery….” Here is Tom Dreisbach at NPR: For months, the conservative provocateur Dinesh D’Souza teased that the book version of his widely debunked film “2,000 Mules” would provide compelling new...
CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan interviews attendees at Trump and Pence events:...
