Trump and the RNC Flip the Democrats' Narrative
The odds were stacked against Donald Trump and Republicans and their seemingly star-crossed convention. In the last two months the venue was changed twice as coronavirus cases spiked in the Sun Belt after an earlier flattening. Midsummer brought no relief from either police violence against African Americans or the violent response from protesters. As if to cue up the chaos, police officers in

The former New York City mayor acknowledged he used “blunt language” and said in the column published Sunday night:

White House spokesman feels ‘sorry’ for Giuliani
President Obama’s spokesman said Friday he feels “sorry” for former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, after Mr. Giuliani accused the president this week of not loving America.
“It’s sad to see when somebody who’s attained a certain level of public stature — and even admiration — tarnishes that legacy so thoroughly,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. “The truth is, I don’t

Who Benefits In Money Game, Democracy Or Donors?
We're talking of course about campaign spending, and this year's elections will be the most expensive in history. In fact, by the time we all head to the voting booth on Election Day, nearly $6 billion will have been spent on campaigns — big and small — all across America.
Much of that money will come from superPACs and other outside groups free to spend as much as they want, mostly on

The MSM's Hyper-Racial RNC Coverage
You're already aware that MSNBC -- America's self-appointed racist dog whistle truth squad -- oddly chose not to air numerous speeches delivered by racial minorities at last night's Republican convention. They have a narrative to protect, and all that. But the Left-wing cable news channel isn't the only outlet following Chris Matthews down the path of unhinged and shameless race-baiting.

Biden Surpasses Expectations in Acceptance Speech, But Debates Loom Large
On the final night of the Democratic convention, the highlight was -- paradoxically unexpectedly -- the nominee himself. After Joe Biden's running mate was overshadowed by President Obama on Wednesday night, observers wondered whether the the four-day program would end with a boring, quasi-mangled thud. It didn't. Thursday night's proceedings were pretty bad overall, though the evening did

Police Brutality Protests Will Change Law Enforcement and the November Election
Americans are simultaneously joining marches and hunkering down for a long, hot summer of discontent.
I live on a short section of Bleecker Street in Manhattan that is in most ways completely unrepresentative of New York City, much less America. Yet as protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd continue, and violence, looting, and vandalism spread across the country, the 500

The origins of extreme political polarization, and who is responsible
Shattered Consensus: The Rise and Decline of America's Postwar Political Order by James Pierson may be one of the best books ever written on American political history. It traces the evolution of both political parties from the aftermath of World War I to the present. What is especially interesting is how, following the death of John F. Kennedy, the Democratic Party turned away from
