Richard Grenell made history when President Donald Trump appointed him as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany because he was the first openly gay man to serve at such a high level in an administration. Grenell made history again on Wednesday night when Trump picked him as his acting Director of National intelligence. Grenell is the first openly gay person to serve on a president's Cabinet.

A contrary view: Mini Mike isn’t done despite debate debacle

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 20, 2020 48 Comments

Mike Bloomberg had a terrible night at the Las Vegas debate. On that point, I'm in agreement with the conventional wisdom. I'm not in agreement that he is done as a candidate, assuming he's still willing to spend an additional half-billion dollars on advertising, paying social media 'influencers' to hype him, and buying up Democrat policitians and media.

I can't get the image of Mike Bloomberg standing on a box out of my head, can you? That imagery was painted by Trump when he claimed that "Mini Mike" wanted to stand on a box for debates.

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 19, 2020 39 Comments

It was easy to laugh at Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters when she repeated early and often that she wanted Trump impeached. But when Democrats regained control of the House in 2018, Waters was among the leaders in pushing towards and achieving impeachment.

Dershowitz: “President Obama Personally Asked the FBI to Investigate Somebody on Behalf of George Soros”

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on February 19, 2020 38 Comments

Despite former Attorney General Eric Holder referring to himself in that role as then-president Obama's "wingman," Democrats have been swooning for the nearest fainting couch over a few tweets from President Trump regarding the Roger Stone sentencing recommendation. They claim to be outraged because Trump, they screech, is undermining DOJ independence.

#DemDebate: Elizabeth Warren promises to go after Bloomberg on stage

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on February 19, 2020 27 Comments

I am continually mystified by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's horrific political instincts. As her campaign began to stall, she decided to go after fellow Democrats who were beating her in fundraising and polling. As a result, she was so thoroughly owned by former South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg during the December Democrat debate that I was surprised when she claimed that socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders told her a woman couldn't win the presidency.

Posted by Stacey Matthews on February 18, 2020 37 Comments

President Trump's resiliency in the face of being impeached and amid the constant barrage of attacks against him since day one has been a source of immense frustration for Democrats in 2020, especially in the aftermath of his unapologetic State of the Union address and his acquittal after the Senate's impeachment trial.
