“Resistance by Whistleblower” Was Part Of The Anti-Trump Plan From The Start

What is happening now to President Trump was predictable. The plans were laid in plain sight, including the use of whistleblowers to disrupt the administration.

The Trump Impeachment Conundrum Democrats Don’t Want to Talk About

One thing we can safely conclude at this point is that the current impeachment push is not about the content of Trump’s phone conversation with Ukraine’s president Zelensky or the “whistleblower” report, although the Democrats and NeverTrumpers will probably continue to pretend it is, at least for a while.

Following is a way it might be possible for the far left to gain more power, particularly in the House, even if the majority of America and even the majority of Democrats do not support far left politics and are completely turned off by the current Squad.
Is Trump Playing 3-D Chess?

It’s not a copout to say, “it depends on what you mean by 3-D chess.”
If you mean something so advanced and esoteric it’s the equivalent of Einstein’s Special Theory (in the political sense), I’d have to say “no.” But I don’t think that’s what it means. I find playing 3-D chess...

The NY Times’ embarrassing attempt to make Trump’s old tax returns a big story

Does anyone really care about the NY Times’ news concerning Trump’s 1985-1994 federal taxes?

The New York Times and the European vogue for anti-Semitic cartoons

When the international version of the NY Times decided to publish an anti-Semitic cartoon by the Portuguese cartoonist Antonio Moreira Antunes, it was just following a long-established European post-WWII tradition.

Dem Senator Wyden’s “breathtakingly terrible” plan to tax unrealized capital gains

If you were thinking it would be hard for Democrats to get any worse, along comes an idea like that of Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, who thinks unrealized gains should be taxed. Wyden is no wide-eyed youngster, either. Not only is he 69 years old, but he’s the top-ranking member...
