This Independence Day, our great nation doesn't have the luster that it did when the Revolutionary Army defeated the British. When that final battle was won, we started a nation built on governing principles that had never been tried before. 248 years later, we're still the preeminent nation in the world. A reading of the Declaration of Independence instructs us as to what the Founding Fathers' highest priorities were. The start of the second paragraph famously states "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." This was unlike the British form of government in that the U.S. form of government required We The People to give our consent to being governed and that it's

After last Thursday's disaster, people have been calling for Joe Biden to end his campaign. Today, I'm calling for Joe Biden's resignation from office. Yes, I know that means 6 months of Kamala Harris as our president. Yes, that's terrible. Whether Kamala is president or Joe is, what difference at this point does it make? The Joe Biden we saw in Atlanta last Thursday is incapable of handling presidential responsibilities. Joe didn't have the mental capabilities to answer simple questions, much less handle international crises. To have KJP tell us that Wandering Joe is a "cheap fake" is insulting. Having KJP tell us that Barack Obama leading Joe offstage at a Hollywood fundraiser was an expression of friendship isn't spin. It's an insult to the American people. The latest BS from the Democrats is that Joe had "a bad night" last Thursday. That's a lie. Last Thursday night, Joe had another episode of dementia. It was there in plain sight

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has agreed to delay President Trump's sentencing . CBS is reporting that "Prosecutors for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said they are not opposed to delaying Donald Trump's sentencing for his criminal conviction in the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling that former presidents enjoy broad immunity for official acts." According to Fox News Legl Analyst and FNC Contributor Leo Terrell, this is a direct result of yesterday's SCOTUS ruling. According to Terrell, the SCOTUS ruling on immunity doesn't just affect federal cases. It affects any case involving the president. Terrell said that this is a good sign for Trump. After the ruling yesterday, Trump's team said that they'd be appealing Trump's conviction. CNN is reporting that "Donald Trump will not be sentenced on his business fraud conviction until September, a New York judge ruled Tuesday in the wake of Monday’s Supreme Court decision on presidential imm

Former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal isn't a stupid man. He's just a propagandist. You don't attain the rank of U.S. Solicitor General by being stupid. Katyal is dishonest, though. The proof I have is that he intentionally mislead the American people when he said "I want to read to you from what Justice Sotomayor says at the end of her dissent. I've never seen language like this in a Supreme Court opinion. She says, quote, 'Never in the history of our republic has a president had reason to believe he would be immune from criminal prosecution if he used the trappings of his office to violate the criminal law. Moving forward, however, all former presidents will be cloaked in such immunity. If the occupant of that office misuses official power for personal gain, the criminal law that the rest of us must abide will not provide a backstop.'" First, before getting to Katyal's intentional dishonesty, let's admit that Katyal's spin came fro

If you visited the RealClearPolitics website , you'd be overwhelmed with articles that are either pro-Trump or pro-Biden. Some are informative while others sound like they were written by blithering idiots. Rather than go through the entire menu, let's look at Jen O'Malley's tweet from wherever Alice-in-Wonderland lives. Ms. O'Malley isn't crazy. She just isn't terribly honest. In the opening paragraph of Ms. O'Malley's tweet, she wrote "It’s a familiar story: Following Thursday night’s debate, the beltway class is counting Joe Biden out. The data in the battleground states, though, tells a different story. On every metric that matters, data shows it did nothing to change the American people’s perception, our supporters are more fired up than ever, and Donald Trump only reminded voters of why they fired him four years ago and failed to expand his appeal beyond his MAGA base." That's what I'd expect from Team Biden. First, people li
