The great sportswriter Grantland Rice would eventually call them the "team of destiny."

But when that 1922 Princeton University football team headed West to play Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg's University of Chicago team, Rice had predicted they would lose.

"The Tiger will give Chicago a first class battle, but the heavier attacking Maroon team ...Read more

When Kamala Harris first jumped into the 2024 race, the joy was palpable.

Every major Democrat leapt to celebrate. The legacy media uncorked the Champagne. Rank-and-file Democratic voters had a pep in their step. After all, the Democratic Party had pulled off an unprecedented feat: After rigging the Democratic primaries to avoid any serious ...Read more

Liberal journalists love to paint the Republicans as opposed to facts -- which implies that liberal journalists own the facts and determine who is actually using them properly.

The Washington Post put this aggressive headline on the front of the Oct. 15 edition: "Campaign takes stand against fact checks: In live settings, Trump aims to let his ...Read more

SAN DIEGO -- Whether you like him or not, you have to admit that JD Vance is an interesting guy.

For what it's worth, and I suspect it's not worth much to my MAGA friends, I'm in the "or not" camp. I'm not a fan.

I think the Ohio senator, and 2024 GOP vice presidential nominee, is smug, condescending and not nearly as smart as he likes to ...Read more

President Joe Biden may have endorsed Kamala Harris, but it's increasingly obvious he wants her to lose.

Last week, Vice President Harris ripped into Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for reportedly not taking her calls regarding Hurricane Helene. She accused him of "playing political games." She continued, "This is utterly irresponsible, and it is ...Read more

BUTLER, Pennsylvania -- Elon Musk said the reason he was in Butler on Oct. 5 to speak at former President Donald Trump's rally was because of the critical nature of this year's presidential election.

"The reason I'm here is because I think this is the most important election in our lifetime. This may be the most important election that has ...Read more

It is a truism that the West was formed by Athens and Jerusalem -- meaning the rational thinking introduced by Greece and the moral and religious thought introduced by Israel.

Of the two, Jerusalem's contribution was the more enduring. Relatively few Westerners read Aristotle and Plato. Virtually every citizen of the West -- even the illiterate...Read more

Here is something no one in the media is reporting as Vice President Kamala Harris continues to duck and weave like Muhammad Ali in the ring to avoid any questions about her economic plan.

The American Business Defense Foundation reports that under the Harris tax plan, the number of Americans subject to the hated death tax would double or ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- It's been a little over a week since the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget sent a letter to Kamala Harris and Donald Trump suggesting they get serious about "skyrocketing" national debt, which now exceeds $35 trillion.

Washington is spending $1.8 trillion more than it collects annually.

"Our publicly held debt will ...Read more

Remember when a Republican president (Gerald Ford) refused to give money to a bankrupt New York City? The newspaper headlines the next day said:

"Ford to City: DROP DEAD."

But that was a Republican president's message to a bankrupt, crime-ridden, Democratic city that spent like a drunken sailor and wasted all their money on welfare.

Today, a ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Mark Memmott, senior director of standards and practices at CBS News, advised his team not to refer to Jerusalem "as being in Israel," The Free Press reported Wednesday.

Within minutes of Hamas jihadists breaching the Israeli border on Oct. 7, 2023, and commencing the largest slaughter of the Jewish people since the Holocaust, Western leftists and other defenders of the genocidal Palestinian-Arab cause rallied around a talking point: "This did not occur in a vacuum." The claim, blithely offered by armchair ...Read more

The greatest moral hazard in American life is politics.

Many of you probably remember 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney being secretly recorded by a Democratic operative telling donors that "47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what" because they are "dependent upon government ... believe that they are victims ......Read more

With only about 25 days until this damnably necessary act of democracy descends into recriminations and conversations about 2028, Donald Trump is barnstorming across the nation while Kamala Harris sits for interviews designed to generate turnout from her base.

Where are Barack and Michelle Obama? Does democracy not matter? Where is Hillary ...Read more

It never ends. The press still does not know how to handle the avalanche of lies that is MAGA's chief contribution to our national life. I understand, sort of. It's dull and time-consuming to bird-dog every false accusation, wild assertion or factual misstatement that comes out of Trumpland. "They're controlling the weather" is just the latest ...Read more

Bob Woodward is the most overpraised journalist in modern American history. He's an "icon" because he took out Richard Nixon. Every book should be titled "Democrats Pounce" because that's how these books succeed.

Back in October 2006, when Woodward's Bush-bashing book "State of Denial" came out, NBC's Tim Russert proclaimed: "Mr. Woodward will ...Read more

Jonathan Draeger, reporter for RealClearPolitics, wrote Tuesday that "the 2024 presidential contest couldn't be tighter." Unless, of course, it turns out not to be nearly as close as this season's run of polls suggests it is.

One indication that it might not be was a New York Times-Siena poll released this week showing Donald Trump leading ...Read more
